On March 20, 2014, the first day of Spring, the day was overcast and a bit cloudy. After work, I was to meet Troy to receive the final illustrations for ‘Butterfly Hugs’. I felt edgy as I contemplated taking the next step towards publishing so just before I left work, I sat in my car to pray. As I was praying, I suddenly felt a warmth on my face. When I opened my eyes, a ray of sunshine had come through the clouds shining on me through my windshield. I couldn’t help but smile, as it was another affirmation from God that He was with me on this journey. As I started my car, I felt once again refreshed and ready to take the next step with JOY! Tonight would be a celebration! The Final Illustrations would soon be on their way to the Publisher!
