Joseph Beth Bookstore

I am so proud to have delivered my first shipment to our fabulous local bookstore! It is amazing how the Universe works sometimes. I was feeling quite low in February and wondering what I was being called to do next- feeling like my November/December personal books sales were possibly pointless, but in the same breath trying to remain optimistic that if any of the books I sold inspired others, it was “enough.

Then I received a voice message from the buyer at Joseph Beth. Happens to be a person I worked with 13 years ago at my past design job. Isn’t it amazing how life works? The connections. The timing. It was just the lift I needed to get me through!

I had dropped a couple book copies off there at the beginning of December, hoping to grab attention. I really thought they would make good stocking stuffers for the holidays. Getting the call for an order in February was almost better timing honestly. God works in mysterious ways. I always loved the quote “Believing in God is also believing in His timing”- that has always resonated with me personally.

I picked up a variety of desserts at the bookstore’s coffee shop and headed to my friend Rebecca’s to celebrate. It was the perfect evening out! Full moon. 70 degree weather. Ice cream truck singing its tune on the Hyde Park streets. Got to meet Rebecca’s new man- while tasting some newly launched unbelievable tequila!
