This won’t be my most eloquent post, I just wanted to share this moment with you, all my wonderful readers.
Today I did one of the scariest and most exciting things of my whole life.
I pushed “publish” and sent my ebook off for review and to be sold on Amazon.com
I’ve been working towards this for so long, and dreaming of this day since I was a little kid, but now that it’s here I can’t help but be intimidated. This is a huge dream of mine accomplished and so many steps closer to my bigger dream of having a print book published by a traditional publishing company (I’m still working on that one).
You know me, you know that I love to write and I love to encourage other women. Through this blog and my book, I’m able to take both of those passions and combine them into one.
I feel so blessed to have this opportunity. To have the time to write as I stay home with my kids. To be able to pursue my professional dream while simultaneously fulfilling my larger dream of being the best mama I can be, and staying home with them while they are young.
There are so many emotions running through me right now, I can’t even begin to explain. I want to cry, I want to hide, I want to jump up and down like an excited little kid. Most of all, I just want Amazon to be done reviewing my book so that it’s all official and I can start directing people there to buy my dream. ****Update: It’s for sale now! Buy it here****
Until then, here’s the cover as a little “tease” to hold you over until tomorrow!
To my readers and friends, thanks for being so wonderful and for going on this journey with me! Thank you for believing in my writing and sticking around all this time! Excited to see where the next months and years of writing will take us!

Lisa says
What a blessing, Paula!! I know the feeling….something that you’ve worked on for years, prayed over, cried over, got mad at, gave up on, threw it under the bed, dug it back out, prayed over, cried over….finally finished!
Praise The Lord also for a technological age such as this that gives us the ability to publish our works without having to go the traditional route. Congratulations!!

I absolutely love your blog and find nearly all of your post’s to be precisely
what I’m looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content in your case?
I wouldn’t mind producing a post or elaborating on a lot of the subjects you write about
here. Again, awesome website!
