Today was a day. I woke up to not having any water running through the pipes, no WiFi, and a stank attitude. My eldest son done gone to Texas to accept his award. My youngest son is just reading my posts. My dog is pissing and shitting out of control. My boo is non -existent. And then, just then, I get an email that says, “ Disabled Email Prior Status: Free Subscriber”.
What does this mean? Oh gosh, whose nerves have I hit? Did I write something inappropriate? Are my sons hated and I do not know? Am I posting too often? It has only been a week since I began posting and I have already lost one free subscriber. No one gave me any constructive criticism. No one commented negatively towards my few posts. No one gave any feedback that I did not take. Damn, if I cannot keep free subscribers, how do I expect to gain paid subscribers ever?
Then my Messiah reminds me it only takes a few words to ask for comfort. He reminded me that my story is not for everyone, just as I have never been for everyone. I am an acquired taste that grows on a person or I don't. I was reminded that this shop I am curating “A Mothers Redemption”, will have merchandise that some will be hit hard by. Some of my merchandise will make others face issues they have never faced. Some of my merchandise will cause them to disable their email. But he is always here to guide my merchandise and ensure the sanctity of this shop as long as I am blameless, honest and sincere in what I offer my subscribers. And thus far, I have done just that. I was comforted knowing my youngest son subscribed to my page, read my work, gave me Kudos and shared it. My eldest son texts me during his break time, take off and landing, and we created a cute next post. It actually was supposed to be this post but I needed to get this off my heart. Last, reading those words no longer hurt as much. The sting is still here no doubt but this is a lesson I could not have done without!
Live hard, breathe deep and stay righteous!!!!
