Valentine's Day

For most people, Valentine's day is a day to look forward to: the giving and receiving of chocolates, flowers or just a simple token of affection is exchanged on that day. For most people every day is Valentine's day because they love each other every day, but for others it can be a sad day, a  painful reminder that they are alone and I am one.
I know I may have well meaning friends who will say something like "Well you have Jesus, Show him your love", but I have told Jesus that even though I know you loves me, can you be as wonderful as some of the male characters in the books I read?" I know that what I read is only fictional, but truly believe that guys can be romantic and wonderful. (Real life men) I also believe  that not ALL the good ones are taken so where is he?
 I am trying to be like Rebekah in the book of Genesis who wasn't looking as far as I know. I want something like that to happen to me because I am not being found by the right man online. People may say that you can't expect prince charming to show up your doorsteps, but they haven't  read the true accounts of  how Jacob met his wives and Rebekah meeting hers (although Rebekah was taken to meet hers)
 Anything is possible. I just have to be busy serving and loving the Lord while I wait for my  man to come to me. I just hope he is as wonderful as I hope he is.

Living with Alzheimer

No, I don't have Alzheimer, my mother does.  Although for a long time I didn't know this. I believe the disease was there when my father was alive but the disease had lain dormant. Why? I don't know, but the disease triggered in her brain soon after his death. Just recently, my sister told me it began shortly after she stopped going to the senior nutrition center All my life, I had this picture of healthy parents. I thought God would make sure none of my parents would  ever have Cancer or Alzheimer. I thought it would never happen to us! I'm sure many people thought that, but our (My sister and my  situation sis different. If you disagree feel free to comment below) My sister and I have never had a chance to leave home. I think that  it is because I had a mindset that kept me hostage. My sister had her reasons. My father made her an underpaid housekeeper and I went off to  college,  and going to find work where ever I can only to end up back home. After I graduated

January 13, 2012.  Two days after I have found out from my friend and also author Michelle that my book was finally published.  I have prayed it would not take 6-8 months. I asked for God's favor and I got it or so I thought.  It  is my first time to  have a book published and therefore I am new at all that is expected. When I told Michelle  about my prayer being answered, she bursted my bubble: "Yes, it took me  six weeks too to get my first book published." Oh well My life has changed since she told me and even posted on my wall that my book is for sale now. Wow! I am finally an author! Do I feel any different? Some. Now I have questions. How do I begin to let people know. I am rather shy at talking to people on phones and I also do not know when I should do it (have a book signing event) If it is true that I might have to"supply" the books, I need to get  them at a discount. I also need to call Barnes and Noble and see if they will let me do it.  When I ca

Hanford's Hidden Treasure

Image
I don't see myself as a nobody. I know who I am in the eyes of God. I am somebody special, I am an author. You didn't know that? Well, no wonder! Because businesses won't let you know about me!  I tried to let the people of Hanford know they have an author in town. I had my first book signing in a library a couple years ago. Perhaps you didn't  read the paper that week. You know what? That is okay. I got what I wanted even though after the local paper featured me in the paper, no one asked me about it. Let's go back many years ago when I was in high school. Was I popular? No. Was I accepted? Maybe. Maybe not. I got teased a lot. I didn't have many friends. Thanks God, my self esteem wasn't based on what my peers thought about me. I knew I didn't fit in according to their standards. I am an adult now. I thought maybe things have changed. Many of the people who weren't my friends in High School are now. It isn't my peers that is making me feel
