Summer Reading!
2023-06-01 - 2023-08-01 | AR
Will you make sure you are getting that reading in this summer? I sure hope so!
I have a book titled: For Black Writers… by Aliona Gibson. Its a book on how to write, publish and market your first book.
I also thought it would be good to read my own books this summer. Yes, honey! I am at a place of wanting more from myself with writing and needing to get a clear understanding on which direction I should go. Sometimes embracing what you have can be just what you need to stir up some good ol’ motivation. Well…that’s my thought on it at least! 🙂
So, stay in a book and keep your mind and inspiration on what matters: Your journey of Purpose!

Who knows your story better than the person reading this? I encourage you to allow healing, wholeness, and revelation to awaken you as you embrace who you are and the journey that was taken.
Many times, we are in such a rush with life that we fail to truly take a moment of mediation and get in a position that isn’t afraid to visit those places inside of us that we might not even know exist.
Take time to embrace your story. You are not alone.
