-- Quote of the Day -- “I felt like a pariah, my children were suffering… and I felt very alone. …Healing doesn’t just take over night – it isn’t easy to shed the tainted environment you’ve come from. …The more broken you are the more whole you have a chance to become.   …It is like the tight rope walker, they have to keep their eye on their goal and not take their eyes off it – the dangerous part is when they make the turn around …and not pay somebody else’s bills for what happened because you do waste the present. …None of us will ever be perfect but we can turn flaws into flowers. We all have flaws and wounds and deficiencies and they are hard to admit – but our imperfections are apart of us …life is not about being flawless but about overcoming.” ~ Dale Stanten Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on … titled: Rising AboveCircumstances   (*Click ...

-- Quote of the Day --  “Self-published books, at best, are a break even if you are lucky, but I’ve been having fun selling the books and picking up readers. Nothing happens overnight, …the more you work at it, the more you publish the more people you have behind it and are willing to buy your books. …You have to persevere; you have to keep at it. The best sales are places you’d never think – the best sales I’ve had have been through liquor stores and drug stores not bookstores, so you have to be open to all possibilities. You might be able to sell your book and make it fly in places that are not considered the normal places for that. …So people are getting double doses of exposure to the book at least.” ~ Rosemary Chaulk http://tobtr.com/s/5058479 Writing - the life of leisure? Sadly, many people see the world of writing as a career of leisure – which is actually opposite to the truth.  For one thing, wri...
