Ask All My Dear Friends For Prayers Today (read all 2 entries…)
Quick Update 12 months ago

Well, actually I’ve very little news to update you with.
I just spent 2&1/2 hours constantly redialing the number to get through to the teleconference – without success.
However, I do now have contact details, so I can submit my proposals in writing tomorrow. I suppose I should feel really deflated – but I don’t. On reflection, I realise that 1/4million people were never going to have the chance to put forward their ideas in the time allocated. I suspect the majority of the teleconference, if not all, would have been listening to the guest speaker. I may have missed some vital information, but remain confident that I can put together a better presentation in writing, than I ever could in a 2min on the spot slot.

So, have I gained anything from this evenings venture?
Yes, I think so – I had let the book project slip, and now I’ve a renewed enthusiasm. Strangly, I’ve also a renewed confidence in the work itself. I only found out about the teleconfernce about 4 hours before it was due to start – I was pretty manic for a while there:)
But, it forced me to quickly review my materials, and the plans I’d put together for lanching and marketing the books – I was pleasantly surprised at how organised I had been. It’s a fairly comprehensive set of plans, and will all work well towards the presentation.
I think however, the bottom line will be – does the concept steal his heart, and that remains the great unknown at the moment.

To everyone who answered my prayer request tonight – a HUGE THANK YOU. I don’t think I’d still be feeling as upbeat and positive as I do now, if it hadn’t been for all your prayers, support and encouragement:)
I’m not giving up, if anything I’m revitalised and more ready to go than ever:)

I had not seen your request yesterday, but just reading your words “I’m not giving up, if anything I’m revitalized and more ready to go than ever” this morning is answered prayer. :)

love,
Isabella

Thnaks Isabella:)

it’s true, it is an answer to the prayers – I could have been really deflated. Instead, I’m full of vigour.
LOL mum had me up most of the night reading the first book to her- she hadn’t heard any of it for a long time.
So, happy and enthusiastic – a gift after all that’s happened recently.

Just saw this now, I`m sorry it dodn`t work out. But I`m thrilled to see your positive attitude, that attitude is definitely going to make your dreams come true! And you`re right, you will be able to present your ideas better in writing than in a 2 minute slot like that.
Have you asked around here on 43T by the way? Maybe there are people here who illustrate books, or know someone who know someone?

Edit: forgot to say, you are still in my prayers ofcourse!

What

will your books be about by the way? Are there dogs and slugs involved? ;)

The Books

have all the little creatures I’ve ever loved in them, chloegoldenheart is a very main character. But so are all the little slugs, and many other animals you haven’t meet yet.
Some friends have asked to have their pets included, and I love that idea – I’m wondering if the curly girls would like to be in a future book:) I’m always looking for new characters to include as the story expands.
The series of books will cover many ages of time, and ultimately the fight of good against evil.
Most of my passions are in there, including God, animals, gems, health and environmental issues. I hope to encourage the spirit of nobility, love and sacrifice. It is a mythical world, but very much related to real life.

Bravo!

I haven’t had much computer time lately, so I just found this thread today. I’m glad that you are feeling positive and using your creativity. The books sound delightful. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Your books

sound amazing! The curlygirls are waging their tails enthusiastically, and says they would be extremely honored to be in a future book! That would be so much fun! Your books really sound great. And what a wonderful way to spread compassion and understanding for different kinds of animals among children, written with your loving and understanding views, I`m sure it will be great. Can`t wait for the books to be illustrated and finished, so all your 43T friends can rush over to amazon and get our copies. :)

Simon. Wishing the internet was smart enough to send all communications to one place, instead of making me search all over 43T, Facebook, gmail…

Congratulations!

Here’s my 10,000th cheer, just for you!

Hope to see you back online very soon.
