READING CAN MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL

Reading can enhance your life. Studies show that the most successful people are the ones who read. We can learn a lot by picking up a magazine, a book, or a newspaper. I think it's great to be able to talk to others about what you read, too. Reading promotes conversation, intelligence, and knowledge. So, what are you waiting for?

I think everyone has a story to tell, and we should. For many years, I got away from writing fiction, but I have had a great time writing my first novel as an adult. Changing real-life situations into fiction helps heal the heart.

What can I say about Life? Mine has been tough at times, but I'm grateful that God has given me mercy, grace, and love. I love my life and the family I've been blessed with.

What are we...if we don't Dream?

Last fall, I won a contest through a Twitter contest from Samsung. The contest was hashtagged #DontWait, and I wrote that I wanted to be a published author. I won a Samsung tablet and a meeting with someone in the literary arena. I received the tablet close to Christmas, and today was the day I spoke with Author, Michelle Richmond. And I have to say... It was AWESOME! She was knowledgeable, smart, and fun. It's not very often an opportunity like that comes around. I had several questions I wanted to ask her, and she willingly answered all of them. I'm even more excited to continue on my journey of getting my first book published. And, more than ever, I'm seriously believing it will happen. After all, it's already been written, and I have the Publishing Contract right here! I like what my son, Jonah said. He's home today after going to the doctor, and I told him that I was more nervous before talking to Michelle than I was when I went for my job interview. He said something so profound. "It's because this is bigger." That is the truth. So, thank you, Michelle, for your time, and using your talent and abilities to help a dreaming girl (or middle-aged woman) to pursue her lifelong goal of becoming a published author. I really appreciate it! You can check out Michelle's website at http://michellerichmond.com/
