It has happened several times in my life. I will start at a new company and not say anything at first.
I just am who I am.
Pretty soon a ripple goes through the office.
I start hearing people say that they are going to start going to the gym.
I have worked out on a consistent basis since I was fourteen years old and my body displays the effort well.
Then all of a sudden everyone is going on a diet.
I usually stay within 10 lbs of my ideal body weight because I hate feeling as if I have more on my frame than is needed.
Now it is happening with my writing.
When someone asks me what I do, I say I blog.
Pretty soon they have thought of a blog and a couple of my male friends have even wanted to write a novel.
I used to get kind of upset over everyone thinking that they were the next JK Rowlings. I got even more upset when I had to hear them go on and on about their books.
Now I just kind of sit back and listen with a serene smile on my face, wondering if they would have considered that possibility if they had never met me.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not conceited. Whatever I have has been a gift from God.
I think one of my gifts is that of good influence.
If someone is really good at something they don’t have to say a word. People will see it without words being spoken.
Good influence speaks much louder than words.
Gracie,
When I was reading this post this morning I was thinking of you. There have been an Army of Angels watching over me, both seen and unseen throughout my journey and you are one of them.

Thank you darling! i am so glad you found me and please continue to give feedback. 🙂
I love your blog!!!! I just discovered it the other day and after reading some of your entries decided to follow your blog. Love the post for today, because I use to feel the same way! It seemed as though everything that I was saying or doing others began to follow suit, and at first I was annoyed also lol! But then I began to realize and understand that I was a good influence on people a leader even, and now I embrace that people want to follow my lead…Its great that GOD lead me to your blog because we think alike in so many ways and I think it’s HIS way of letting me know that I’m not the only one who thinks this way , or has had some of the exact same feelings that you have blogged that you felt in the past…I just love how GOD works!!! Thanks and Have a Great Day! Great Blog : )
