:sighs: It's finally happening. All things are turned in and the proof should be arriving to me this week. I started Ava's Story in the end of 2005, finished it in 2007 and two years later, its published. God has blessed me and even if I don't get any good reviews or sell many copies, I am so thankful that my life-long dream of being a published author has come true. When I was young and they asked me in kindergarten what I wanted to be, I said I wanted to be a writer. I never realized that unlike so many childhood dreams, this one would stick with me for a long time.
I've realized that I just want to inspire. I want my writer's to inspire. I want Dynamic Image to mean something special. I want people to be able to see our logo on a book and know that when they finish reading it, they will be inspired to do more, motivated to live and not let people hold them back. I want my writer's to have the faith that their words will inspire many, even if we only touch one life, it will be a blessing in itself.
Shay, Jazze and Shina are so talented and I pray that they realize it. I pray to God that I can help them inspire others. All I want them to worry about is God, themselves, their loved ones and their writing and leave the rest up to me. I pray that God puts me in a position to do what we have been called to do.
To see so many people excited for me as brought me to tears (nothing unusual right? =] ) A friend of mine brought me back to high school when I used to print my stories out in these huge binders and pass them around school. Everyday someone would come ask me if I had any books available or could they get one next. We usually got in trouble: me for writing and them for reading. But I had a purpose, a God-given purpose.
All in all, even though things are hectic as I near the end of my college career, I am blessed. Thank you Jesus! I know when they deliver the books to my house, that I am going to fall on them and cry....
I did it.

I haven't been with you long enough to fall out in tears however I can say I'm so very proud to see you push through the odds and fulfill your dreams. I feel like God has blessed me to cross paths with you. So I hope to get a copy and be able to read and smile at the fact that I know somebody whose published and to know it the future she'll help fulfill one of my very own dreams too. =) But yeah Cash YOU DID IT! *pops champagne.
But yeah man, congratulations many times over. :) Enjoy it.
Girl dont make me cry cause thats what I will do. Even though we don't know each other personally, you are an inspiration to me. You are a very blessed person and I know one when I hear and see one. I don't know everything about you, but I can feel that you've been through alot as far as with your career and I know that this is a HUGE blessing for you. Anyone that has come in contact with you, either in person or by your stories, should be able to celebrate with you and share in your happiness. It's like when one person wins, we all do, because there was a point in time when we, as black people, were not allowed to read and write, and now we have someone like you to prove different along with other authors. It is just a blessing to see people like you to rise above all the negative things and to do something positive and to live out your dreams. Please know that I support you 100%. Always have and always will. Love ya!
