The first proof of the physical book was set to arrive on January 9, 2010. I was nervous and worried. Nervous because while I knew exactly what the pages would look like and knew the content forward and backward, it was about to be real. The cover glossed and the pages glued, a book was being born. A dream fulfilled.

Then came the surprise. While Nathanael was visiting over the holidays, a small white-padded envelope arrived. I pulled it out of the mailbox and immediately saw who it was from: my publisher. He asked what it was and I blew off the question and started talking about something else. I wanted to surprise him. (As I mentioned before), Nathanael was one of my editors and designed the cover for the book. He more than anyone helped me through this process.

We got upstairs and he began to unload the groceries and I quietly opened the package. “So, I have a surprise for you,” I said. I turned around and pulled the book out of the package and we both saw it for the first time. Anything is Possible.

He took it from my hands and started flipping through it. I just stood there. I was awestruck. I created a book! Me! Richard Dedor wrote and created that! It’s still hard to believe, but at the same time, I know I have created not only a really cool tool, but I believe a strong resource for people who want to re-take control of their lives.
I am very proud of Anything is Possible and I will keep striving to live it each day. That is only part of my dream. The other half of that is if you decide to read it, it chances your life. That is why I wrote it and poured my heart and soul into the project for over a year. Dreams are meant to be lived and this one is now in living color.
