Milestones come in many different forms. Some are good. Some not so much.
Webster�s defines a milestone as a�significant point in development�.
This year, my oldest granddaughter has a milestone of her own. She turns 13 years old on August 9th and she�s been eagerly anticipating the day since she turned 12.
I have a milestone birthday coming up this year as well, but I�m not as eager to share mine as she is. Let�s just say it will be a big one!
Milestones can mean stepping out in a new career path, or just reaching a goal in the career you�ve been struggling with.
I�ve recently completed my 8th Love Inspired Suspense, something that I couldn�t have imagined when I first entered the Love Inspired Suspense Speed Writing contest in 2012. I was chosen to pitch, then Emily Rodmell requested a partial, followed by a full, and in December of 2012, I received my first contract with Love Inspired Suspense. Forgotten Past was published in 2014. At times, it still doesn�t feel real.
And coming this August 6th, myself and 15 other authors will reach a milestone we�ve been working on since January with the release of the Summer of Suspense anthology. Christy Barritt, Patricia Bradley, Vannetta Chapman, Mary Ellis, Debby Giusti, Ruth Hartzler, Shaen Layle, Rachel J Good, Ruth Logan Herne, Loree Lough, Elizabeth Ludwig, Nancy Mehl, Serena Miller, Samantha Price, and Alana Terry have worked very hard on this anthology. Several of these lovely ladies write for Love Inspired.

So what about you? Have you reached any milestones in your life? I�d love to hear about them.
And I�d like to give a shout out to Kristyn and LLord. These two ladies won our Mothers Day Giveaway. Please contact me through my email, maryjalfordauthor@gmail. com, so we can get those gifts out to you both.
