The Joy of the Lord
Have you ever had a horrible day? Like the kind of day where no matter how hard you try, nothing seems to go right? You intend to do everything to the best of your ability, but somehow things just go sideways. The kind of day that ends with you feeling like you can do nothing right.
How do you find the strength to get up and go back at it tomorrow?
Remember Your Calling
I love to write, and I believe God has gifted me with stories that will both entertain and give hope, but what I struggle with is marketing. I don’t mean I’m afraid of it, but as an older woman (55) in a social media world filled with young creatives who grew up with video editing, social media trends, and BookTock sensations, I feel very amateur when it comes to promoting my work online. I worry that my lack of abilities will ruin my sales, and that the ads or posts I create are so bad, no one will take a chance on my books.
Not One Day Too Soon
Look closely at the present you are constructing. It should look like the future you are dreaming. - Alice Walker
