I think this last blog sums things up quite nicely. I especially need to think about what you said here: let me encourage you to see your desire to write and talents for writing as a call and an opportunity. It’s more of a process than an event…”

Janice, that is SO TRUE! I’ve been finding that more and more in the last couple of years!

The other thing that hit me in your post is “I don’t do this to lift myself up, I do it because it’s the work I’m called to do.” I grew up being taught that self-promotion is bad, that you shouldn’t call attention to yourself. I know this has underminded my success at many levels, many times, and I am shocked at how long it is taking me to get out from under it. But the way you put it is something I can write on an index card and tape to my computer. In fact, I’m going to go do that!

Thanks so much for a great post!
