Every Path Has Rewards

It's amazing the doors God will open up if you just keep moving forward!

Last night I was a guest at our local art studio's open house. In addition to selling some books, I also made a contact - a gentleman who works at a school and is interested in having me in to speak to the students!

Sometimes rewards are not always obvious, but something positive will happen when you keep trying. You can't give up because you can't physically see something happening right that moment!

So don't give up! Keep pursuing your goals. You may be just one step away from something amazing!

One very excited winner!

December's winner in my free book giveaway is very excited!

2007 Begins

2007 has begun, although rather sadly with former president Gerald Ford's funeral tomorrow.

Also on a sad note, Borders Inc is closing many of their Waldenbooks stores across the nation and I will miss those I visited during the past few years!

On a more positve note ...

www.adbooks.org is in the process of determining the best young adult book on their List Serv.

www.webofhappiness.com is adding articles to their site. My article, "The Invisible Battle - Overcoming Mental Abuse" will be featured there soon.

And at The Writer's Meow, several very talented writers have emerged, both in the area of fiction and poetry!

Again, here's to a bright and hopeful 2007 for us all!!
