Good Monday morning to you. I had a couple of noteworthy items for discussion today–something encouraging, something not so encouraging, and something curious. You decide which is which. So I applied for this upward mobility job here, and I am what they called “Superior Qualified.” I wasn’t selected though. Last week I read a post in one of my FB groups asking if anyone wanted to be on this new internet radio show. I expressed interest. Turns out it wasn’t for a guest spot; he’s looking for a co-star(s). I had to step back and research this thing, and this guy. The premise is “real people, real talk.” That’s me. And it’s so new that I could very likely put my signature on it and do swell. We will see.
So, which is which? I mean, I was excited about the new job prospect, obviously so I can leave this place in my life. But even though I am perfect for it, it isn’t perfect for me, or I would have it. “Every good gift and every perfect present is from above.” So I wait for what God really has in store for me. I don’t know; maybe this thing would’ve taken my focus from my writing. I prayed on it, so the answer will come eventually. As for this radio thing, I dreamed the other day that I had my own syndicated talk show, about topics I write in my thoughts/blog, and I was so successful, I traveled the country doing appearances and stuff. My kids were with me, and we all looked so happy. But it was the way I was dressed that gave me the impression I was successful. I had on some good clothes, red bottoms, and great jewelry, as I signed books in a big store. This was a good dream.
Even though today started with a rejection letter, I’m good. Taking it all in. At the very least, I still have two books finished and waiting for covers. It’s back to the drawing board on some things, but one thing hasn’t changed. I’m a writer first. The dream lives…
