Acknowledgements & Appreciation...
Nothing in this life is accomplished completely on our own--for each personal achievement others have played a part, directly or indirectly. Keep this in mind the next time you accept that award, praise, finish a project, watch your child graduate, earn that raise, etc etc etc; be appreciative and acknowledge those that helped you along your path--directly or indirectly. Having said that, my most recent accomplishment, the publishing of my new book, Sweet Tea for the Soul, would not have been possible without the help, encouragment, and support of many people. As most of you know it is appropriate for the author include Dedications & Acknowledgements in their published works. While my Dedication page is short and to the point (my children & my mentor); my Acknowledgement page is rather lengthly as I have many muses for this particular book....I would like to share part of my Acknowledgement page today in this forum, to show my appreciation & acknowledge those muses who inspired me and encouraged me, on this journey.
Acknowledgements
God sends his blessings upon me in so many ways and for this I am forever grateful. Some of His blessings are sent in human form and I wish to thank each of the following for their ceaseless encouragement and support. I give special heart-felt thanks to:
....
My fellow Internet bloggers, friends, and chat buddies for their never ending encouragement, support, and laughter. No artificial sweeteners among them, they are the real thing!
And of course, to my clients, who taught me to remain true to my purpose and mission. Their insatiable thirst for my random ramblings fanned the flame that inspired this book. Each one is the best example of how God’s love and the angels work on earth and in our lives.
And on that note....I will be taking calls this morning from 10 a.m. - 1 pm AND 6 p.m. - 11 p.m. CST w/brks. As always, callbacks are appreciated to ensure we connect. I look foward to continue to share blessings with everyone today.
Blessings,
Melody "Lil Mel"
