We are coming up on the two-year anniversary of the release of ‘Vinnie: a love letter’. To think about where I was when I started writing the book, where I was when I finished it, where I was when it was released and where I am now… to say it has been quite the journey would be an understatement.
I am not the man I once was. I am better, fuller, more complete, more empathetic, more sensitive, more comfortable in my own skin. I may be lonely at times but I’ve learned to sink into the loneliness in order to find my deeper self there, waiting.
I spent much of my life weighing my own worthiness on the thoughts of others. I have since promised myself never to do that again. For I am fully aware of what I bring to the table and it is a considerable amount, flaws and all. Despite the continual barbs thrown in my direction from people it has taken me years to heal from, I can honestly say that my need to respond has waned. I trust in Karma, now. And Karma is a beast. It enables me to focus on what I can control, and leave the rest to God, to the universe.
The number of opportunities at my feet right now are numerous. It seems as if the universe is conspiring for me, instead of against me, now. And I am thankful for this new energy. It is well worth it and well-deserved.
On September 11th, we will celebrate the two-year anniversary of ‘Vinnie: a love letter’ and we will release our limited edition hooded sweatshirt in celebration of the feat. I am honored to have brought this book to you all and i look forward to bringing you more in the future. Until then, enjoy the words of Vinnie, and prepare to cop this marvelous hoodie…
Your Humble Writer,
Preston
