To Brag, or not to . . .

This is a test.

I've been working on my LinkedIn profile, in preparation for a few promotional ideas I have planned. In doing so, I put together a slide show of my book covers. I've not worked with PowerPoint a lot, so this was a real experiment for me. Nothing fancy, just a look back at my recent publishing efforts.

I was raised not to brag, so getting my mind in gear to promote my books has never been easy for me. On one hand, if I'm going to succeed as a writer, I need to share what I've done with other people. On the other, how do you remain grounded and humble while crowing about the gifts God has bestowed on you?

My solution is to remember the Source of those gifts. Sharing them is appropriate, but I have to keep utmost in my mind that God, I'd just be wandering aimlessly in the wilderness.
