The Story Within The Story

BY Lady JB Owen

“In faith, we find ourselves.”

It is my intention to share a story of faith embellished with qualities of friendship, love, laughter, and fun, yet, laced with sadness, sorrow, and hurt. I want to share how faith is one thing, but at the same time, so much more. Faith resides so high and yet also can be found so low. Through my journey and the events that unfolded, I was tested and shown that faith is in everything. Faith is the moments that take your breath away and the moments that breathe life back into your spirit. Faith is like a trusted guide, a loving support, a comforting hand. In my story, faith stands as a marker and becomes the beacon that leads the way. Faith is constant. Faith is assuring. Faith brought me closer to myself and allowed me to finally be free.

Few people realize there are many stories within one story. There is the pre-story, back-story, sub-story, post-story, story markers, story points, and the rise and fall of the story. What one story tells, another story withholds. What is important in one story seems lost in another, and if you knew the full story, it would be a different story completely. A story is one point of view, a single look through the viewfinder of the author deciding what to reveal and what to relinquish, and what to expose. Many see the story that they want to see or miss seeing the story that was unfolding all along. The many layers of a story are seldom fully known, and most stories have much more to be revealed. In your hand, you hold the book that holds the story that reflects another story only a few people know. It is the story that was unfolding in the background, the story that shaped the future and impacted many. It is a story that now wishes to be told.

I looked over to see the clock showing 4:03 AM. I had to get up. The excitement was simply too much. I had been sitting on an idea for a few days, and every part of my body was electrified with anticipation of what it might become. I had attended an event a few days prior that sparked an idea that had grown into a flame and bubbled to the surface, ready to Ignite. I slipped quietly out of bed so as not to wake my husband and ambled off to my office to formulate a plan. With inspiration on my side and aspirations swirling in my head, I mapped out, graphed out, drew columns, made lists, and formed ideas of exactly what I knew my business would be. I was on the verge of something amazing and felt a flame surge from within. It wasn’t going to be easy, but I wasn’t worried; I had all the faith I needed, and I knew it was going to be exceptional.

With so much ignited energy, from an ignited Source, via an ignited situation, the listening yet responded unphased and unmoved, proving to me they weren’t. This particular designer seemed interested, intrigued, and excited. She had been listening intently to my ambitious projection to set a record and publish over four hundred people in a single year.

I can’t say for certain what Dania Zafar, born in Pakistan, living in Toronto, passionate about book design, and a wiz at production, thought of my idea at the get-go. But I can say how she made me feel. The questions she asked and the interest she showed kept the conversation going and the ideas flowing, and before I knew it, I felt she was the one. I got off the phone, eager to start working with her, and told my husband we may just have found our magic jewel, our secret weapon. Any publishing house knows that your books are your everything. The way they look, the colors, and the feelings they create—the company just had to be called Ignite™. And the idea was galactic, to Ignite lives, enliven hearts, and impact humanity. With the fury of a dozen rocket engines, I took on the task of making sure I was indeed going to Ignite others. I started with stories: personal, heartfelt stories of perseverance, dedication, and accomplishment. Stories that would heal, inspire, and transform. Stories that needed to be told and stories that would change people’s lives simply by reading them. Such stories, that right out of the gate, hit international best-selling status, in multiple countries, with authors from around the world. I had taken my idea out of my head and proved it was possible; it was time to do even more!
