Habits, The Changes That Stick

8/16/2018

Recently, I listened to a YouTube video where Jeff Johnson said, “Habits will either create lifestyle growth or inhibit lifestyle growth. “

Most of my life I have been working to improve my habitual life. Here are a few things that I had learned over the years about building good habits and getting rid of those habits that do not contribute to growth. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE

Cool, Nutritious, and Delicious Summer Breakfast

8/9/2018

Summer is the time of year that we want to kick back and enjoy the lazy crazy days. In August and the heat of summer, who wants to eat a hot breakfast when its so hot outside not to mention cook one? A person could eat cold cereal and milk. However, I don’t know about you, but I have found that cold cereal doesn’t hold me over until lunch.
In addition, most food that we eat at breakfast isn’t always that nutritious. Most breakfast cereals are loaded with too much sugar and salt. That’s why I love this summer cool smoothie that I make. Check out the easy, nutritious recipe by clicking through here

Tips To Utilize Your Garden's Bounty

7/31/2018

Last week’s post was about how we can control garden pests. Once we get our garden plants to the point where we are starting to harvest, it’s time to figure out what to do with all of the excess.
First, we’ll start out with a little riddle: What do you call a person who buys zucchini from the grocery store in July? For the answer to this and some answers about using zucchini, look at this article. Click here to read more

Battling Bugs in the Garden

7/26/2018

This time of year, our gardens are planted, and we’re weeding, cultivating and mulching our crops to get the most from them. As we’re starting to harvest many of our summer garden vegetables, we discover yellow eggs on the underside of our green beans and a few days later we find that something is eating the green bean leaves. If you know anything about insects, you probably know that the bean beetle left his calling card. More than likely, we’re probably also fighting battles against all kinds of crawling and winged creatures which are trying harvest our plants before we can. Click Here To Learn How to Cope With Them

Publishing is a Continuous Cycle of Learning and Doing

7/19/2018

There’s much to know regarding publishing today. In the past ten years or more new trends have developed. The old way of doing things changed fast, and the familiar has been replaced with newer and better models. Yesterday’s traditional publishing is now more like a ‘vanity press’ today because it doesn’t guarantee anything except the imprint’s name on the inside cover.
Most of the work needs to be done by the author. MORE

Should I Self-Publish or Publish Traditionally?

7/19/2018

When I first thought about writing a book, I thought the same way that so many other would be authors thought. I imagined getting huge advance and being given the royal treatment when I went into New York City to meet my publisher. I imagined a limousine picking me up at the airport and driving me to an amazing suite where I would stay a week while I hit the circuit of going from television station to radio stations, to other interviews, having my own makeup artist and hairstylist, going shopping in the Fashion District and even seeing a Broadway show while I was there.
After my visit, the publishing company would distribute my book and put it in the front of the store in every major book seller in the country. I would be given a number of copies of my books that I could share with my family and friends, and I would “live the dream”.
Nice dream. Reality was far different. I learned later that advances were seldom given to new authors (although I have met one). Click Here to Read More

Taking Triple K for Exceptional Health Benefits

7/12/2018

Back in March, I was feeling achy all over. I think I must have had arthritis in every joint and I could barely walk up the stairs without losing my breath. I had so much pain in my ankles that I could hardly walk. I don’t do pills and exercise seemed out of the question as the healthful starting point for a healthier lifestyle. I knew that food was the better starting point for me. I was eating all sorts of junk food, too many animal products and processed foods. I knew that a traditional diet plan was not the right move To see what changes I made, Click here

Pam Young on: “Why” Do My Weird Indie Project

7/5/2018

I would like to introduce you to my first Guest Blogger, Pam Young. I hope you enjoy this post as well as I have. Take it away Pam. . .
My indie project is “weird” because I broke a six hundred page memoir about an awakening experience into three separate stories and published it as a trilogy in just over a year. In blogging about it, I publicly explored my spiritual journey. MORE

Calling All Authors, Looking for Guest Bloggers!

7/5/2018

So, what is guest blogging? I'm glad you asked. Guest blogging is simply writing a blog that is posted on another blogger’s blog that offers another person’s view that the host blogger invites to the blog. According to experts, guest blogging is five times more effective for gaining audiences than posting new content on your own blog.

Lightening the Trash Man's Load

6/28/2018

Recently I have been looking at all the ways that I can decrease the ways that I contribute to the problems associated with the American lifestyle. Last week, I wrote about how we can escape from the plight of living pay check to paycheck. This week's blog is about decreasing our garbage output. Every week, I noticed how the dumpster outside our housing project is packed full to overflowing every week with stuff that people are throwing out. Though I cannot change the habits of others, I have decided that I was going to do whatever I could to decrease what I throw out. MORE
