Have you ever had a project go suddenly and disappointingly off course only to end-up exceeding your wildest expectations? Rarely has this been so extreme – both heartbreaking and 'whoohoo' inducing – as it was for Dreams Come True.
Over a 3-year period, nothing I said or did could persuade any publisher to take it on. Over the next year, nothing I said or did could persuade the artists of my choice to take it on. Finally, an agency made a timid recommendation, their third and suddenly (over 4 years later!) the project fell into a 'Twilight Zone' of creative serendipities and divine collaboration with the heaven-sent illustrator, Virginia Allyn. It proved, once again, that by holding onto a vision in spite of appearances, taking action, and never giving up, dreams do come true!
Now, however, on the other end of the process, I’d like to remind others what I had too easily forgotten. That while dreams most certainly do come true, only in hindsight are the miracles obvious, only in hindsight can we see how guided we were, and only in hindsight do we find that all along there was a plan.
To your miracles, guides, and the plans that await -
"So beautiful and truly inspiring. Dreams Come True is the perfect little book for instilling confidence, hope and joy in the youngest of hearts!"
