I am done with the same old same old. I know I am not alone. You go to work, do your very best, pay your bills, and maybe have enough to treat yourself once in a while.

I am done complaining and allowing others to add on to those same complaints. I work at a job I don’t care to work at, but we all do what we have to do. (until I can do better)

I enjoy the world of words. I may not be the best and I know I make mistakes, but I enjoy doing it anyway. I had stopped this enjoyment for way too long, allowing the world to step in where a  smile used to be, but it’s time for the real me to be set free.

I thought others would care to enjoy writing down their thoughts or just take some time to be creative. I  watched a youtube channel about creating notebooks. I admit I watched it for months before I decided to make them.

Journey With The Hintons {}

I learned how to make a notebook on bookbolt.com and add it on Amazon.com.  I wished I had only done one and once it was posted, look at it, and I would have my unasked question? 

I was thinking you could see the inside of the book, because not all composition books are just lines. I found a way around that problem.  In my description I not only let everyone know what my notebook is about, but what it looks like. (At least the ones after the first set)

It would have been nice if I was told about marketing. Okay, Google was my next step. I found one or two articles.  I liked this one the best:

Okay, I took all my notes, but there has to be something faster. (always look for more answers to your questions. I got some of my answers from the above post) If you guessed I turned to YouTube, then you would be right, and I watched a few videos. I will not be able to add any videos. People talked about what they did, but now how they did it. They also bragged about going on vacation and living a better life and that wasn’t cool to me.

I was also thinking about Pinterest.

I was thinking this was going to be easy, but I was wrong. I thought you could just click on a picture, add  a link to get the product, and that was it. I was wrong. 

 I also thought I could post the few books I have on Amazon and promote it in my blog (and then add that post on Pinterest). I was wrong once again.

I am saying my prayers as I do every day. The next step in my journey will be my Best Journey. 

I hadn’t planned on posting too many items other than my books, and the few items I have bought. So,  I guess all that reading and videos I watched was a waste of time.

Coffee….

A Day without Coffee…..

Introduction

I do not know why I thought I could start my day without a cup of coffee and not get a headache.  It has been a long time since I walked out of my front door before drinking my favorite beverage. 

I ran out of coffee creamer. There was French vanilla creamer in the fridge, but if it’s not vanilla ice cream I do not want it. Vanilla will never lighten my coffee cup. Yes, I tried it once and once was enough.

Today was the first time I ever had two cups of coffee after 7am, after I got back from Walmart, with three bottles of my favorite coffee creamer. 

MMMMMMMMM Coffee was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO So GOOD!

Well, now I can really start my day. 

Bye IV Now, LD*

I am rethinking how I am going to get to the beach and how I am going to improve my life. I am done waiting for a miracle, because miracles cannot happen without work or faith. 

 Matthew 13:58 NIV   And he did not do many miracles there, because of their lack of faith.  https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.13.58.NIV

I knew what I had to do to get where I wanted, but was unsure on how to get there. I thought if I talked to others who said they could and would help me it would be a good idea. In the end that was a shortcut and if you think taking a shortcut will help you win? Nope, you may not even cross the finish line.

Proverbs 21:5 NIV The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.  https://bible.com/bible/111/pro.21.5.NIV 

I had to go back to knowing who I am. It’s not that I don’t want to trust people, but some just don’t want you to get ahead of them. I may not be where I want to be, but then again everyone has to start at day 1 before they get to where I want to be. 

Psalms 17:5 NIV My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not stumbled.  https://bible.com/bible/111/psa.17.5.NIV

It’s time I get back to working on my book as well as keeping up with my crochet projects.

It’s time to watch your ideas grow.  Your ideas may start  slow and at time you may think it’s not going anywhere, but if you give up -they will never grow. It’s like a planet the more you give it water,  a little light, and handle it with care your planet will grow like all of your  Good ideas…..

The End..
