Take a Deep Breath and Dive in.

In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away

- shing xiong
     How many times in life have really taken your breath away? Not the bad things, but the good things? Things that make  your life worth living? Those are the only things that are worth having. You may never be remembered by many people but you will be remembered by what you did and how you loved and cared for others.
    There are few things in this life that make it pleasant. A flower coming through a spring snow, A babies toothless grin, a child's uninhibited giggle, a tear that slides down your cheek at your child's wedding a cancer survivor that was thought would never survive the first treatment. The true battle of the human spirit is one of great determination and the love of life and what you do with it and how you live it.
    God never assured us of our next breath. I speak not just to someone else but also to myself. The small things of the challenge of everyday can hinder the wonderful things that make our life compete. Life is short and has no time for the pain of lame, stupid stuff that causes us aggravation and pain unnecessarily. I know, I do it most days of my life. You miss out on  wonderful blessings because someone else has succeeded in their attempt to upset and cause havoc on your life.

Having Gifts Differing

I sit here writing this post not knowing what is going to come from my fingertips. I also haven't come up with a title, but for some reason, I am being compelled to write this post. By the time I finish this, I hope to have one. I guess you could say it's the writer in me that longs to sit down and do nothing but to write. I have often wondered what it would be like to sit down and do nothing but write something, anything, that people would want to read. That other would be panting at the thought to be able to read something I have written and left them wanting more. In essence, that is what any writer wants.       I have as of late, sat down and opened my Kindle to read the many books I have loaded and started to read the fabulous works of fiction. There are many authors I follow, and I am not ashamed that some of the stories I know are living something different than I. That's the point right? The idea is to take the reader on a journey so that they get caught...

Living the Dream

    If there is one thing that my parents taught me is never to give up as it serves no purpose. For six years now, I have been writing as an independent author. For me and others, writing isn't considered as a hobby; it 's a lifelong dream to write, to be an author and to make it a career. I have been working since I was a teen starting out as a baby sitter and then became a caregiver. I was still in high school when I started taking care of the elderly in a local nursing home. From the time I was a little girl, I was a nurse, taking care of my dolls. I went to school my junior and senior year to a vocational school and received a certificate for a nursing assistant. When I graduated from high school, I applied to Vocational School to start LPN school. I had no such luck to get in the first round. After 12 years of school, I was kept out because of math and reading comprehension. I ended up going to adult education at night to be able to pass the entrance exam. Wh...
