You’re Not a Winner, Lady.

I got the nicest email today telling me that the contest my book was in has announced Finalists! We have a list of Finalists on our website! And you’re NOT on it! I laughed a little, because it really was nice. And kind of funny. And so it goes. We can’t all be finalists 🙂

It’s a real thing for me — the desire to be necessary. I want people to need my input, to desire my company, to find me valuable. I know that this is a thing I need to get past, but for now, it’s kind of nice to know that no matter what, I can find
