My IDSC Journey - The Book


I asked the question and you answered. 


Yesterday I asked if I should continue blogging or write a book. 


Overwhelmingly people encouraged me to write a book. 


So I am going to do just that. 


I am actually very excited to do this. 


When I departed from the IDSC I knew that I needed to process the entire journey. 


I knew that I wanted to be sure that I did that in a healthy way. 


In order to do that in a healthy way I began counseling, (which I will share more about in my book.)


I share this now because one of the things my wonderful counselor told me is this: 


"One day, believe it or not, you will be able to understand this journey fully and when you do, you will and should write about it."


I told him I thought that would be impossible. 


I did not think it would be impossible because I did not know how to write. 

(Which I have my flaws. lol)  

I though that emotionally/mentally that would never be possible. 


Well, the impossible is happening and I am more than thrilled!


It is possible. 


Thanks to support from my incredible husband. 


Incredible family. 


Incredible friends. 


I have made the decision to write a book. 


So the next few months I am going to sit down and put "pen to paper" on my computer. 

(Not this one, a new one. This one has had way too many glitches over the years!) 

And I am going to write my story! 


I will share little stories about day to day on Facebook still.  Stories about MaryEllen. Daily life etc. 


But The Story I am going to write in a book. 


A portion of the proceeds I will be donating to an organization which I will announce in the book. 


The other portion will go to Dreamers Merchants Coffee Company which I will use to continue to hire individuals of all abilities in an inclusive environment! 


The new journey begins now!
