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!
