Hello to anyone and everyone!

It has been awhile, I know. I have been focused on two more edits of the memoir, and I'm happy to announce that it looks like it is nearing the next phase. Although I polish a little here and a little there with every re-read, I am so happy with the way it has turned out.

My next phase will be submission. I have a few LGBT publishing houses in mind that seem to be interested in memoirs, so I will start there. We'll see where this leads; I am in this for the long haul, so I will not stop until it is published!

As I read through the pages of the last edit,  I recalled the motivation of writing Leaving God; Finding Me in the first place. When I was younger, I would have given anything to have been able to hear someone's story--to know someone felt the feelings I felt. It would have made me feel less odd, less confused, less alone. There are far too many people today struggling with confusion over sexuality and/or religion. (I am constantly amazed at how often these two go hand in hand.)

My reason for writing is simple. To tell those who struggle, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You are beautiful just the way you are; live your life, and be happy.

Whatever the outcome, I am so grateful for this journey. The future is bright and full of opportunities.

Peace!
