The Long Wait Is Over…

September 30, 2011 by Erica Staab

A Dream Realized

Two years ago I set a date and a plan in place to realize a dream of mine.

And now, here it is, after stops and starts, edits, writing, re-writing, waiting, a few tears, staring at the words until they swam in front of my eyes, obsessing about the placement of periods, which pictures to choose, what to say yes to, what to say no to and so much more… a book of my very own, with an ISBN number and everything!

I remember being out of college and working a second job at Barnes and Noble and there were so many times that I would hold a book in my hands, feel its weight, smell its pages, touch the front cover reverently thinking, someday…

And today is that day!

So much more to say, to share, to talk about… but for now… this… this moment is enough.

I am off to dance, celebrate and revel in the fact that I did it.

Thanks for all your love and support!

Thank you! It is still such a surreal feeling looking at it 🙂 Now I am just excited for people to hold it in their hands, to hear what they think of it, how it speaks to them and to hear the stories that people will share as a result. I am really looking forward to how this book moves through the world!

  Pam!
  You should be able to buy it in the UK via that link, and if not it will be available on Amazon.com next week so that should work as well… I am open to learning about particular gift stores if you have any that you know would be interested in selling them! Let me know if that doesn’t work and we will figure something out!!
