My Head is Spinning

-


It feels like Christmas and my birthday all rolled into one!  Last night I approved my book proof and according to the company publishing it, it would take 5-7 days to show up on Amazon.  I happened to check over there this morning and the book is ready for purchase.

 Whoo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I told Dan last night that I might be too excited to sleep, and I'm glad I didn't know this bit of information or I definitely would not have gotten to sleep.

 So I am now a published author.  This is something I've dreamed about my whole life.  God is just so good to allow this!

 Over the next few weeks, different people will be writing reviews and doing interviews and allowing me to be a guest blogger.  So stay tuned for more on that.

 In the meantime, my friend Jody Gates, a fellow pastor's wife in our district wrote a book review on her blog today.  So pop on over to her blog, Jody Lynne

Another wonderful lady, Pam Halter, who is a published author and editor also did an interview with me today.  You can read that at her blog, Where Are the Blessings.

Then I hope you will consider going to Amazon (click on the link or the picture above to go right to the book page) and purchasing, Words of Encouragement for a Discouraged World.  After you have read it, please write a review on Amazon.  I know this will help other people who may purchase it. 

Thank you for all your support, encouragement and prayers as I've shared about this book.  You all are the best!

My head is spinning!

    Terri, WELL DONE!,That is such an achievement, though not at all surprising as I already found what you write to be always eloquent, original and encouraging.

Choosing Not to Kick the Cat

The choices we make can either be good or bad. So many don't realize that even our attitudes and feelings are a choice. We have a choice each day to make that day one in which we will react to our circumstances or choose not to react. I can choose to let someone else's bad day ruin mine, or I can choose to not take on someone else's attitude. When Dan and I were first married we worked for a sales organization. I still remember listening to a motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar who was talking about this topic. He gave the scenario of a man being a work and having a boss that was berating him all day long. The man then came home and snapped at his wife. His wife, in turn, yelled at their son for a small infraction because she was upset. The son was now hurt by his mom and pushed his little sister. She, being the youngest, turns around and kicks the cat! Zig talked about making a different choice by not allowing others bad behaviors and moods cause you to respond in the

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost
