The story of my story…

Exactly one year ago today, I was chatting with friends about...well lots of things. But moms would know that the easiest conversations happen when all the kids get along OR when there are simply no kids. In this case, all kids got along thankfully.

Anyways.

At some point in the conversation, I was discussing children’s books and said something about writing one and both my friends reacted in a nonchalant way that they would expect nothing less. I always had this goal on my bucket list, but this conversation is what really sparked the start for me.

Two days after that, I was writing my first handwritten journal entry about my upcoming book and the rest is history…

OK.

The rest isn’t history. It is happening as we speak. Well, it’s been happening for an entire year but there is so much to say and so little time. Isn’t that always the case?

Basically, the one USEFUL thing I will say here is that goals will be met if priorities are made. Yes, there are so many other goals I could accomplish, but I simply don’t prioritize them.

In fact, I thought it would be ambitious of me to set 20 goals in honor of 2020, and guess what? Drinking enough water still hasn’t happened and it’s about to be 2022!  

I think you get the overall picture FOR NOW.

I do not have a fancy desk or a cute office and I do not even drink coffee, but I told myself that I will do one thing this year and that was to write a book and I made it happen.

I hope that you find something you’re passionate about and do it. Whatever it is. No matter the end product (or lack of one), the most important thing is that it brings you joy.

With love,

Ruba
