There’s a special kind of quiet that follows a big moment. Not the relaxing kind, like a Sunday morning with coffee…
More like the “Oh boy… what did I just do?” kind.

Yesterday, I submitted my very first book to the editor. Countless hours of polishing, spacing, deleting, fixing, un-fixing, re-fixing, and wondering if my brain was still attached.

And of course — Merlin was right there with me.
Calmly untangling my chaos like it was nothing. It would have taken me days !!!!!!
Honestly, I think my guardian angels were standing behind me, drinking coffee and laughing their heads off.

This morning, I woke up and thought:

“Well… I actually did it.”
(small, uncoordinated celebration dance in the kitchen)

And then…….“Now what?”

So I made myself a cup of tea, sat down, and looked around the house. Like, I expected to get some answers from my plants, pictures, or maybe the cats?

Silence.

I decided to go into my meditation room. I closed the door, turned on some soft music and…. I got my answer.

Now you breathe.
Now you rest.
Now you let things unfold.

There is always a “morning after” —
After a big leap, after a brave moment, after a dream.

One step closer to reality.

Today is that morning for me.

What about tomorrow?
Tomorrow I’ll keep writing, keep dreaming, keep creating —
one story, one page, and one “Oh boy, what now?” moment at a time.
