On Saturday September 5th 2015 I held my first book reading and review. It's always gut-wrenching doing things for the first time. It took a lot of time and planning and of course there were a few bumps in the road but such is life. I enjoyed every second of it.
We started at exactly 5pm with a welcome by yours truly. After that the Creator of The Exodus Project and "My Journey to Exodus: How my pain produced promise" Xaviera "Zay" Bell
Next up was author Latoya Perry another Exodus Pioneer. She was a little nervous (we all were) but she quickly warmed up and began to speak about her story and what it entails.
Last but not least it was my turn. I must admit I had been nervous the entire week leading up to the event. It's something about knowing you have to stand in front of a crowd. I felt butterflies every time I thought about it. But you know what, when my time came the words just flowed.
After we all had spoken we enjoyed a great dance by one of my fellow church members at Kingdom Bible Christian Church. This young lady is very talented and blessed by God. The first time I saw her dance on Easter Sunday I was in tears. I was very glad to run into her again a few Sunday's ago and very pleased she decided she would dance for this event. She did an awesome job to Jessica Reedy's "Better".
There is so much more to come. Right now, an event is in the works for St. Petersburg, Fl. and Jacksonville, Fl. dates to be announced. If you have any questions or would like me to come speak at your event please email me at openly.broken@gmail.com or if you would like to learn more about The Exodus Project you can reach Xaviera Zay Bell at exodus_project@outlook.com. You can find links on this page to purchase your book.
