I have a letter I received tonight and I would like to share it. Not only because I think it could help another parent, but because it reminds me of why I have chosen to do what I love in this world. Childrens book publishing is not an easy road, not a way to get rich - it can be a very hard way to make a living from the financial aspect. I can tell you though, with letters like this? I would take a night job to continue to be able to do what I love: to make stories for children and to talk with them to make sure they know how much they MATTER to to me and MATTER to this world. ******************************** I have a story for you: My 6 year old has really been having a hard time at home and at school. He has been getting horrible headaches and with every last breath we have been trying to figure out why. Took him into the Dr. and they scheduled an MRI, so scary on my little guy. Well, last week we were watching Storytime and we won your print. (The print was Mouse holding up a sign that says, You are stronger than you think you are.) His eyes lit up and you could see the tears in his eyes. I asked him what was wrong, his answer was not what I expected out of a 6 year old. Momma I didnt disappoint Ms. Michelle, she told me I was strong and I can do it. I know how to fix it now I asked him what he needed to fix and he said I need to fix me. We went into school the next morning and he told his teacher how he was feeling and how he felt like she was sinking him with more and more work and he couldnt do it anymore, he needed a break and to get out from under the papers. Now I am in tears again, I felt so powerless and couldnt figure out how to help him, never thinking it was all anxiety based. THANK YOU, the way you talked to him just clicked, to update you, my son has had wonderful days at school and is doing all of his work on time with no issues, his behavior at home has come 360 and for now the MRI is on hold. Thank you Thank you Thank you for nothing other then bring you. ******************************** By following my heart? I am richer in this life than I could ever have imagined. And that has nothing to do with a bank account.
