And a few words from the author... answering the question what kind of writer she is.

Are you ready to learn one of the greatest secrets to life.  Yes, I know everyone claims to have a secret to improve your life but in this case it's true.  The best part is it won't cost you anything except a few minutes of your time to read this and allow the following to enter your heart.  The secret to life is living with joy and passion.

I know, you're thinking that's too easy.  I've heard that before a million times and it's not a secret.  Perhaps that's true but ask yourself are you passionate about life?  If not, why?  Passion and joy are the reasons we live.  What is life without living passionately?  At this point, I usually get the normal round of excuses like I have to work to pay my bills, I have responsibilities, or I have no idea what my passion in life is?  Well, here is a second secret, the people who are always ready with an excuse will never be ready with the solution.

Sometimes life's responsibilities do get in the way of our ability to fully live our lives with passion but it doesn't mean you can't have a plan.  Every day we each have a choice regarding how we live.  We can choose to live life as victims, complaining about the world, the government, and how unfair everything is or we can choose to live our life with purpose, joy and passion.  It's a choice.

I always chose the latter.  As a wife and mother of two small toddlers sometimes my life feels like it's on a roller coaster I can't control but I can control how I feel.  I'm in charge of my attitude and I'm always searching for joy in every situation.

The question of the day is, what kind of writer am I? The answer is simple.  I'm a passionate writer.

The novel

A little teaser:

Wedding Day

I often wonder about the idea of a miracle. Is it something you feel? Can you see it? Or is it some- thing you just know? Miracle is a very big word, perhaps best saved for big events like the birth of a baby or the first man walking on the moon.

As I ponder this thought, I’m surrounded by lovely, fresh-cut flowers. Isn’t the blossoming of these flowers a miracle? A tiny little seed in the ground, nurtured with rich soil, water, and light, grows to reveal its unique beauty. When we look at the seed, we can’t see the miracle. It’s only later, after its potential has been manifested, we realize what that seed carried all along. Isn’t that how we all are? On the journey of our destiny in this life, all of us start as seeds. Some of us are still in  the  ground, waiting  to  grow. Some  of us have sprouted a few leaves, and some of us have fully blossomed. Is the miracle the blossoming of the flower, or is the miracle knowing with certainty that everything is already in the seed? Yes, for me it always comes down to certainty. When all I can see is a seed in the ground, the miracle is certainty in my knowl- edge of what the seed is destined to become.

These were the thoughts I recorded in my journal on the morning of our wedding. I have heard that most brides wake up jittery and full of excitement, perhaps thinking about their hair and make-up, the excitement of the day ahead, and how the weather will hold up. I woke up and started writing.

‘What is a miracle? Today I will get married. I will marry the man who makes my heart sing and who was sent as the answer to my prayer. A man who calls me his miracle. Today is our seed, the first day of our journey as husband and wife.We don’t know how our seed will grow. We don’t know how many leaves will bloom or what its flower will look like. We don’t know what storms we’ll face. We do know with certainty that this seed is our destiny. It is our miracle.’

We were all ready. The driver took my hand and escorted me to my seat in the limo.
