Celebrating Lifes Events

For weeks now I've been getting ready to celebrate a special event in my son's life.
Excited by the possiblitity of every one seeing our new house, I've been planting flowers, cleaning rooms, and worrying about every detail.

On Saturday, everyone arrived. We had an awesome time visiting and sharing news. Did the flowers in the front yard matter?

No, we would have had just as good a time whether they were there or not.

You could say this is a lesson learn. Don't sweat the small stuff. But I know me, I wanted the house to look the best it could.

So..... if I had to do it again. I'll probably repeat the same journey.

Some of us never learn.

Have an awesome week.

A Bunch of Rocks



Thought I would give you a picture of what I spent the weekend doing.

This pile of rocks laid under my deck. These beautiful rocks had to be moved, because I'm getting a new patio poured this week. These amazing items don't appear to weigh much but it can take hours to move them. Luckily, I had help.

Here's to how a small stone can make a big ripple. My muscles can atest to the fact because they're still sore.

Hope you have an awesome week.

Exciting News


I got my first review for "Baby Decision" from Fallen Angels Reviews.

The story is centered around an eighteen year old, who is unmarried and pregnant, with the tough decision of choosing between College or a baby. I'm thrilled the reviewer liked it.

Check out the link below and see what reviewer Rachel C. has to say.

The Power Within to be Successful

We all have the power within us to create the life we want.

True or False.

Most people would say False, but the real answer is True.

This came back to me not to long ago. A friend of mine was telling me about the book “The Secret.” She even gave me the DVD to watch. It tells us how we can have whatever we want we just have to believe.

While watching this tape, I thought about another book that I’d read which said basically the same thing. Some of you might have heard of the book, “The Power of Positive Thinking.”

Both books take a different approach but they deal with the power within each of us to get the things we want by believing in ourselves.

“Build it and they will come.” Field of Dreams.

Have a great week.

Pregnant Man

Heard about this story and was fascinated by the conflict.

As an author, I can see the struggle not only within
the person to decide to carry a child after deciding to be a man, but also the conflict of facing the world around him.

Funny thing is if a writer wrote this story. It wouldn't sell. Publisher would say it was unrealistic.

Goes to show us again. Life is stranger than fiction.

Have a great week.

Also a reminder "Pregnancy Plan goes to Print this Friday."

Looking forward to Green

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I'm ready to see the green; green grass, green leaves, green clover and I'd love to see lots of green money.

This week, I'm finally getting back to the new book I'm working on. With rewrites on Baby Decision and other projects, I haven't
been able to work on my new book. Now, I'm trying to get back on track.

Also added to the schedule is a new patio for my backyard. Talking to contractors and setting up time can eat away hours of my day, but I'm
really looking forward to being able to spend some time outside.

Yes, the beautiful color of green.

Have a great week,

Tina
