Story Behind The Book
Recently, I met two very good friends for coffee to discuss the re-formation of a weekly study group. As I was leaving, one of my friends stopped me and said, "Roger, you know that I still use that book you made". I asked, "what book"?
Three years ago, I photocopied a handful of motivational poems I collected over the years. She volunteers as a mentor and was using this "book" as a discussion tool.
I couldn't believe it. She was using the photocopies in the way that I had envisioned all this time but never got around to creating.
Do you know that I have spent the next six days at a local coffeehouse working on "The Little Things and Such". Finally, after more than three years, the project is complete. I think you will agree - it looks a lot better than a photocopied handout!
Thank you Stella for inviting me to coffee last week. Thank you Elizabeth for inspiring me, again!
