Not Everyone Will Like You

alisonpaulklak

Yep. It's true— at times, a hard pill to swallow.
Not everyone will like you. Not everyone will support you. Not everyone will applaud you.
Nope. It won't happen.
And it is perfectly okay.
You cannot make people like you.
You can be kind and courteous. Yet I afraid to stand up for yourself. 
Always strive to be supportive of others and applaud them, but remember the courtesy may not be returned in favor.

Over the past year, there have been many firsts... holding my published children's book in my hands for the first time, attending my first bookstore author events, first library events, visiting elementary schools as an official author for the first time, reading my book to children across North Carolina, and the list goes on.
The opportunity to share my children's travel and adventure picture book has been a priceless gift to me.
