Your Life Is All You Have

All things come and go. You might not think so, but all the things we want in life are unnecessary. True, people, places, and things may make us happy for a while, but in the long run, only we have the power to be in control of our continued happiness after they go. We are in the driver’s seat. We make our destiny. We decide what to do with our lives. Sadly, money seems to rule our world. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if our lives and the lives of others didn’t revolve around money? Granted, we need it, but we don’t need to love it. Our lives are more important than that. Make your life and the lives of others shine. Your life is all you have. Concentrate on making love, not money, so your life becomes worth something.

Authors Have Hobbies Too

I recently wrote my third book Boomer Chicks Mask Up. Being an indie author, I had to come up with the money to publish my book. I am a Nancy Ann Storybook Doll collector. I decided to sell my dolls with frozen legs on eBay to publish my book. I was successful and made just enough money to hand over my manuscript to Author House Publishing. I still have all my jointed dolls proudly displayed in cases throughout the house. They are adorable. I met so many doll collectors who were more than happy to buy my dolls and give them a loving new home. Doll collecting doesn’t define me, but it has always inspired me. I’ve passed on my dolls. Now I can pass on my story too.
