Books, Books and More Books!

Since my book is coming out soon, I thought I’d show you some of the books I used in my research. (Not all of them are here as some I got through the library and I had to return them).  I feel like Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.  I’m getting all excited (adorkable) over books!

This collection has taken me over 15 years to build.  I just wanted to share this with others in order to share my joy.  I do not have a lot of money.  I buy books new (if it is within my budget), used or on sale.  (Here is an article I wrote about finding books online:  Books and Where to Find Them).  Continue reading “Books, Books and More Books!”

Happy Valentine’s Day

I am re-posting this because some people may need or want the reminder: This Valentine’s Day, please remember that there are all kinds of love. This isn’t just a day for couples. There are many kinds of love: self-love, love between friends and family as well as pets. So celebrate this Valentine’s Day with anyone you love. And don’t forget to love and pamper yourself too.

Update on Lady of Praise, Lady of Power

I have ordered the two proof copies of the paperback version of the book. They should be here within the next week. Meanwhile, I am trying to upload the ebook version and I’m having trouble with adding the cover to the Microsoft Word document and I can’t find where in the publishing wizard to upload the already made ebook cover.

And since the document had trouble converting into an EPUB file, I’ll be making this a PDF.  The PDF will only be available to purchase from Lulu.com.

If I can, I may make a kindle version for Amazon.  But I’m not sure if I’ll be able to do this or not.

If anyone has any advice on how to make the ebook cover stuff work, please let me know.

Blessed Healing Poem

Goddess and God,
what do these meanings mean to you?
What do they mean to you?
Do they mean you can call on Us,
without making an effort
to honor Us properly,
respectfully?
To give offerings on Holy Days,
to maintain the shrines to Us,
which you built?
What are you doing, dear child?
You do not maintain the shrines.
You do not do your Work,
for Us, which you agreed to.
You do not honor Us,
as you would if you were well.
You are sick.
You are heart-sick. Continue reading “Blessed Healing Poem”
