I
have pulled myself up by the bootstraps and gone to the bank to enroll in its
merchant services. I have overcome so much and not even a fire alarm evacuating
the whole building across the street (the bank’s branch safety spot is the
Starbucks). I need the merchant services in order to get my book sold at next
month’s conference. Afterward, I have taken up a person’s recommendation to eat
at the new chicken spot. It will be my last because I am not even full. What a
waste! Back to Shake Shack I go. I am at least thankful that I have cash to go
back and eat lunch twice. Moreover, a male employee says that I have swag
because I am wearing my leopard-print Alice + Olivia raincoat and my green
Banana Republic jumpsuit. Here is my gratitude list for today:
Gratitude List – Day 8
- I am alive with a dry roof over my head
- I have opened my merchant services account enabling me to take orders
- Amazon KDP has accepted my pre-order
- I have emailed half of the people whom have helped me throughout my book’s journey
- That I feel that my life is starting to get better
- I have money to pay my book edits
- I have a full selection of clothes to wear
- I have spoken with my father today
Launching my
book is the scariest thing that I have ever done because I have never put my
name on anything. It is now real. I am in business. Now I need some additional
guidance. I am just happy that I am able to ask people for help. That’s big for
me.
