A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

Catching Up

I knew I was supposed to write this book when the idea came to me one day in play rehearsals. I wrote my first chapter, 26 pages in one night. The first six chapters flowed as if I were a ghostwriter telling someone else’s story. I started this blog to launch two books and now I will be using it to launch three or more. The ideas just keep popping in my head for other stories to tell.

I’ve always wanted to be a true, bonified, published writer. But as with anything worth doing well, I’m taking my time and getting myself situated to receive the success and blessings to follow. There are millions of people who written a best seller or sang a number one hit song but we’re never heard from again. They didn’t prepare themselves for the bounty that followed the harvest.

Begin planning for the bounty when you first break ground to plant your seeds and you will always be successful.

I’m also learning or relearning about Quantum Physics and The Law of Attraction with the help of my daughter. Manifesting my own destiny and success has everything to with me and nothing to do with book sales. Life for me has been challenging. Life for a lot of us is challenging. But we have to think about what it is we are accepting as truths within ourselves and our lives.

For example, I’ve told myself for nearly 25 years that because I’m sick so I can’t work, I can’t do this or do that. Although I’ve tried many times, I didn’t change the narrative and had already accepted defeat. No more of that! My Pastor told us many times to speak what you need or want into existence. I’m using my faith and my belief to strengthen my core as a human being, mother, daughter, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.
