I may have to spend a few months basking in the glow of my Manhattan book signing. Apparently, the crowd expressed interest in me to come back with my dog books, and the Manhattan firm (Meridian Designs) invited me to do this again! I told my brother that I am pretty sure the sponsoring managers of the NYC firm are angels...or else I am in some cosmic test tube where the scientist is mixing reality with Vicky's dreams to carefully observe her response to overabundance of joy. Next Manhattan signing will be in the spring, however. Angels or not, it is cold in November.
Anyway, below are the links to the youtube videos of my speech that I gave at the book signing. First one is the intro by the firm and by my brother, then my talk on the reason I wrote the book, and finally the hero of my book speaking. I was terrified...until I started speaking. And then, it was as though the Holy Spirit grabbed my tongue and took over. There are four youtube videos because my incredible, wonderful cousin Sue videotaped it using my camera per my request...and the battery died. The very beginning of my speech is cut off, but she lost only brief moments of my speech as she switched to her phone to videotape the entire presentation. She might be an angel too. We don't necessarily recognize angels when we are with them so I think it is a possibility. The lesson is, treat everyone as though they might be angels, because....they might be.
Her power gave out before the last question where I was asked about the spiritual symbolism in my book. I was sorry that part didn't come out because God was in this whole thing from beginning to end. He's always in all things from beginning to end. The message of the tower in my book is the message of God - though we topple, He is firm in the midst of storms, transmitting His message of Hope and Salvation to all who will listen, and to all who despair when their world crashes down around them.
