I have a
special insight into this because I have
Multiple Sclerosis. Many people have told me
that I have given up but that is so not true. I
have accepted - accepted what I can and cannot
do on any given day. I am at peace with this
monster as Jessica is at peace with her life.
For 10 long years I have tried to decide what to
do with the rest of my life. It came to me
almost in a flash. I am going to write -
copywrite to be exact. I am now absorbing
everything I can about this business.
I have no idea
how to market myself but I know it will come.
An idea will 'magically' pop into my head and I
will know what to do. That is being at peace
with the universe and that is what the writer of
this article imparted so eloquently.
Cathy Perkins
Here's the truth: I, myself, did not know
what the "stand out" feature of my essay was until it was
clarified for me by Cathy Perkins. But I think if something
I write can touch someone suffering with the monster of
Multiple Sclerosis... and... can help clarify for her what
to do with the rest of her life... and... can give her faith
that an idea will "magically" pop into her head and she will
know what to do... and can put her at peace with the
universe... well then... I think I and whomever or whatever
guided my thoughts and my hand when I wrote "A Valentine For
Jessica" achieved something very
special.
In Cathy's reply to me she said,
"I have no idea how to market
myself but I know it will come."
Well, with the help of my friends, I intend to see that
perhaps "it" will come a bit faster for Cathy.
I Am Now Going To
Call In Some Favors
From A Few Of My Friends!
You know, that "call in favors" doesn't
sound right. In truth, I probably owe the people I'm about
to mention as many favors, if not
more, than they owe me.
