This is the last picture that was taken in my office. This is also the day I was laid off from my full time job.

The full time job that helped fund the Adventures of Alleykats, and Final 48 Project in the early stages.

I can remember being called into the office at 5:15 pm on that sunny afternoon.

I think my boss was a little freaked out that I took it so well. I wanted that release. Lord knows I needed that RELEASE. My growing period was up, and I felt stuck. God saw fit for me to move, and it was time.

Here’s the remarkable thing that happened a week later.

My illustrator sent me an email stating that the first book was complete, so that Release was right on time. I was going to stay at that job, but God was tired of seeing me suffer so I was released.

I’m #SteeleThankful for God releasing me, and allowing something greater to come into my life.

What are you #SteeleThankful for?
