You probably have noticed that I haven’t posted in awhile. Part of that is because my husband and I were visiting our families for a couple of weeks over Christmas break. But the other reason for my lack of posts is because I am (finally!) just about to finish the book! After six years of research, writing, and rewriting (times ten!), I am just beginning the actual publishing process. Although I had hoped to have physical copies of the book when I go speak at a counselors’ conference in a few weeks, I am anticipating it taking just a little bit longer than that to be completed. Even though I could rush the process, after six years, I’d rather make sure that things are done right!

Over the next few days I’ll be doing some final proofreading on my manuscript; this is after having an amazing team of people assist me over the past couple of months, with both editing advice and feedback on the book’s content. I can honestly say that I feel great about what this project has turned into over time.

I want to sincerely thank every person who has helped me on this journey so far, from the very first contributors who took time to answer my “few” questions, to each person who has ever said an encouraging word about the work I am trying to do. I also want to thank those of you who read and follow my blog. It truly is because of all of you that I’ve been able to keep at this for six years.

Rest assured that I’ll keep you updated on the publishing process as everything unfolds. Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey with me!

Love, Hope, and Prayers,

Justine
