Have you ever heard of the saying, ‘Love what you do and you’ll never work a day of your life.’ I think it’s just telling people that being excited about each day is how life should be lived. Of course when I write books for 6-8 hours straight, it’s working, but oh how it’s love involved. I barely know the clock’s hour hand has moved. In my head are fabulous characters, working and living, loving and leaving…it’s pure magic!! Imagination is highly overlooked. Imagination can take you places where reality only pales in comparison. And it’s okay to live in your imagination. It saves lives, shortens bad days, and even confuses your reality to believe better is around the corner. Did you know that you can program your subconscious to believe things? Therefore creating feelings that are so much more beneficial to your health and mental well being? I say do it! Write, read, get caught up in your thoughts and dreams of a better life. I used to be pessimistic and reality trodden. Now, I’m happier for living in my imagination.

I saw a jeep driving down the road yesterday. The back extra wheel said, One Life, Live It. Gosh, so simple and so true. Did you know you can design the life you want to live? It may take discipline and a smidge of effort, but IT IS POSSIBLE! I do little things to create this plan. For instance, the other evening I’m cooking and I look down and say, ‘I hated this outfit today. I didn’t like it at work, and I don’t like it very much now.’ I simply went in and put on my pajamas. Of course this confused all of my children. But wow, did I feel great! It’s the little changes. Don’t want that packed lunch? Go buy a lunch out. Feeling isolated in your mind? Call a friend just to gab. Want a pick up? Go get some bangs. **Caution** not short ones, but maybe a side sweep. Ask me how I know this? My point: Just do something you like. Something you haven’t done because you’ve been stuck in a routine.

Love life again. Find yourself!! Speaking of finding yourself. My publisher has put “Waking Amy” on sale. Yes!!!! Talk about a girl who needed to change her life. This trilogy will have you laughing, irritated, crying, and cheering on all the right people! It’s 5 star rated. Take a page from Amy and start living!

I really appreciate you supporting my life’s passion…writing. Readers are the only ones that can appreciate the characters that come to life from the pages of the book. Readers are the reason I write. Thank you to all of you! Oh, and if you like it…and why wouldn’t you?….leave a snappy review! I totally get addicted reading those!
