Fancy, schmancy, yes?
Check it out!
For the first time in nearly 10 years I have a “real job”. This is not to say I haven’t been busy. I have been a freelance writer for various publications. I have written grants and sold Pampered Chef. I worked on a political campaign. I worked at a church in their youth department and even wrote two books. And let’s not forget the most important not-a-job of all, raised two boys.
But, for some reason, I always felt I had to defend those positions, especially the stay-at-home-mom part, not only from outside detractors but also from my own expectations.
Now, and I feel this is a reward for putting my family first these past few years, I get the best of all worlds. I get to work with other authors and their books doing what I would be doing for my own book anyway – doing everything I can to put these books in the hands of people who may need or appreciate them. And the fun part? Everything I’ve done in the past 10 years, including all the lessons of child-rearing, come into play. It is, once again, a testament that God wastes nothing placed in His hands.
