Some of the tips given includes:

• You have to write. You can't be a freelance writer unless you write. You can look online and in books for writing prompts, if you are stumped. 
• You also need to determine where you want to write. Do you want to write a blog, a novel, or a book review? Where you write determines your writing style. 
• A writer can also create a blog (I have three) to promote their writings and expand their audience. You can sign up for sites, which will pay you for writing, whether in freebies, paypal, or even a paper check. 
• A writer will not always be accepted for every writing job applied for.

Fortune Girls Sponsored Post (Sverve)

This is a sponsored campaign from Sverve for Fortune Girls.

About Fortune Girls:

Check out the video below to see what Fortune Girls is all about.



Fortune Girls is about girl empowerment. The site was developed by a tween and her mother to help teen girls. The tween created a collection of Fortune Girls, such as Cinderlita and Wow Girl Pink, which teaches teens about saying I'm Sorry and I miss you. The website is teen-friendly with bright, vibrant colors and user-friendly features. The site reminds me of a phone with touch-screen. Kids can take a quiz to see which Fortune Girl they are similar too. I was similar to Taj. I am creative, giving and resourceful. Teens can also play games.

Next, the site has a place where kids are provided questions for them to answer. Finally, the site has a parents lounge, which provides more information about Fortune Girls.

 Fortune Girls also developed a KickStarter campaign to raise funds to create an animated short.

Runaway Emotions by Jeff Schreve Book Review (Book Sneeze)

I read Runaway Emotions by Jeff Schreve, for honest review for BookSneeze. I received a paperback version of the book. The book was published by Thomas Nelson.

I chose the book because I deal with runaway emotions. Worry, anger, sadness, loneliness, happiness. My emotions can go overboard at times.

Emotions can guide our behavior. Schreve provided a great analogy towards the beginning of the book, using a smoke detector. Smoke detectors come in different shapes and colors. No one really pays a smoke detector any attention until it goes off, which means potential trouble, either a fire or your batteries need to be changed. Nothing can cause more alarm at times than the shrill of a smoke detector. Schreve discussed how negative emotions are like the shrill of a smoke detector. Negative emotions means there is a problem, we need to resolve before the flames get higher and higher. It is easier to deal with a small fire than a big fire.

Next, Schreve discussed how when the alarms go off, we must figure out why it's going off, then we should ask God how to turn the alarm off.

The book consists of eight chapters. Each chapter deals with an emotion: embarrassment, loneliness, frustration, worry, anger, guilt, discontentment, and depression. Schreve also provides the message for each emotion. The book also provides biblical guidance for each emotion.


I wanted to focus on the loneliness, anger, and depression chapters first. The loneliness chapter discussed how loneliness is an attitude or a state of mind (p. 29). A lonely person feels isolated, alienated, and distant from others. (p. 29). The message for loneliness was Your God-given desire for companionship is on fire (p. 31). Finally, some tips for loneliness included:

1. Give yourself to the Lord. Start thinking of God as a friend.  Talk to God about your problems and concerns. 
2. Give yourself to others. Volunteer. Spend time with the elderly. Help out at church. Without expecting anything in return. 

This was an excellent book to read and review.

Time and Again by Deborah Heal Book Review (Tomoson)

I read Time and Again by Deborah Heal, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. This post contains affiliate links and images. I received a Smashwords copy of the book. The book is also available Amazon: Time and Again in Kindle and paperback.

About the book:

The book is about Abby, a college student who is tutoring a teen girl for a school project, over the summer, hoping the assignment would be easy. Meredith reminded me of my niece. An annoying, sarcastic, know-it-all, teen girl, who wants to watch TV, instead of studying. Luckily, Meredith does not have a Facebook, Youtube, and Instagram :-)

My Review:

First, the book is Christian-Based. I also loved the description of the book. The book is geared towards teens. Abby is on summer vacation but still has to work as a teacher. It's her first day of work and she would be tutoring. Abby is interested in history. The two make progress when they see a little boy, almost get hit by a train. While Abby and Meredith was taking the little boy, Michael, home, they strike up a conversation with an elderly female, who mentions says, you'll find the soul of that old house and you'll find--well Charlotte will show you.  The elderly lady gives them a clue to the past, but they don't know it yet.

I liked the book. It had a nice pace. I got really into the book.

Aoede What are Dreams Made of Product Review (Tomoson)

I reviewed Aoede, What are Dreams made of, for Tomoson.

About Aoede, What are dreams made of

What are Dreams Made of is a musical fairy tale. The CD is created for tweens and preteens.

The CD tells the story of Aoede, a muse, who lives in Wonderhaven. Wonderhaven's residents include fairies and goblins.

Another CD in the series is Is love a fairy tale, which was released in 2012. I have Is Love a Fairy tale for review as well. Is Love a Fairy Tale has won awards, which include:

1. Creative Child's Magazine's "Preferred Choice Award, CD Category"
2. Twilly Wig Toy Award "Sterling Fun"
3. Family Review Center's "Gold Award"
4. LA Music Awards- Children's album of the year. 
5. ISC Winner for Children's Music
6. John Lennon Song writing contest finalist
7. The CD is also being considered for Best Children's Album in the 55th Grammy Awards. 

My Review:

Aoede, pronounced "Aye E De" is a musical, filled with narration and whimsical song. Aoede is a muse, who starts the book off with a scream within the first few songs. Her scream scared me. The CD reminds me of the Labyrinth, Chronicles of Narnia,  or the Never Ending Story, maybe Sharkboy and Lava Girl. Aoede has a bad dream and her friend tells her to go to Morpheus, the Dream God, in the land of dreams, carrying 3 wish coins for luck. She keeps having dreams, which involve children and a White Witch. 

Each chapter in the CD is short and I would recommend not shuffling the order. Let it play. The story is continuous. I liked the CD and can't wait to review is love a fairy tale?

Fat Loss-All in one start up guide for maximum fat loss book review (tomoson)

I read Fat Loss - All In One Startup Guide For Maximum Fat Loss (Weight Loss, Fat Loss, Health And Fitness) in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links and Images.

The book was written by Joseph Vartas and the book is .99 on Kindle. The book is not offered in paperback.

I wanted to review this book because I struggle with weight. The most I ever been was 225 and the lowest as an adult was 130 lbs. Last week, I was 153 lbs. I been working out with Revolt Fitness for the last few months.

The book started off with discussing why people don't lose fat, like they want to. Two ways include burning more calories than you consume or consuming more calories than you burn. I never counted calories, so I am confused on this concept.  The author also discussed taking your measurements on a regular basis. I do have a tape measure and calipers. I need to start back taking my measurements. You will use your measurements to determine your body fat percentages. The body fat percentages will tell you if you are normal weight, overweight, or obese. When I started exercising, I was in the obese range, but now I am in the overweight range.

Next, the author discussed the difference between losing weight and fat loss. You can lose weight, but not lose fat loss. Everyone's body is different and requires a different method to lose weight and lose fat loss. You may need to burn additional calories or do a low-intensity workout, or even an high intensity workout. I work best with low-intensity, but I also do a few high-intensity every now and then to break up the monotony.

The book also provides do's and don't for fat burning; exercises for fat loss; and frequently asked questions.

Tired of Freaking Ants.

My room has been invaded by a bunch of ants in the last few weeks. It started when the rain started. I live on the 2nd floor and have a crack in the window. I had ants crawling behind my son's pc, printer, and keyboard. I thought I killed them all. Then, I found ants in an old candy safe, I bought two years ago and it still had lollipops in it. I took the safe out of here and killed the ants. I vacuumed every single crumb I could find.

Image retrieved from Google Images. http://migonline.com/the-number-1-summer-pest

I sprayed corners, even though I hate the smell of bug spray, even the natural kind. I put down my homemade buggy powder, which killed them slowly. Then, the ants moved to the electrical outlet, between the crib and my son's bed. There is a little hole in the wall above the socket. The ants were crawling in and out of the hole, plus the socket. I put a child electrical lock in one socket and taped off the other socket.

Today, I am working out and I noticed a Depend under Brad's bed. I moved it to put it with the other Depends. There was a million ants eating his Depends. I quickly sprayed the Depend and put it in the trash. I also sprayed under his bed. I have a bug stay-away plug-in thingie, I found downstairs. I will also lay another layer of buggy powder (powdered sugar and baking soda or baking powder) around Brad's bed.

Just sick of the freaking ants. I have to find another method to kill them faster.

Just in case the pics don't show up, I pinned my steps to making homemade buggy powder on Pinterest in the stuff I made board.

This beautiful Mess by Rick McKinley Book Review (Blogging for Books)

I read This Beautiful Mess: Practicing the Presence of the Kingdom of God in exchange for honest review from Blogging for Books. This post contains Amazon affiliate links.

The book discusses looking at our lives through the kingdom of God. Jesus has a vision for the church (his followers), but his followers did not immediately follow the vision (p. 1). 

McKinley discusses on Page 27, how the Jews were expecting a king to save them from oppression and bring freedom. Yet, Jesus came as a baby to a virgin. He did not start his ministry right away. Jesus was the King of Kings, but no one was expecting him to come as a newborn. 

He did not practice his ministry until he was old enough,  then he died for our sins, only to rise again. Jesus also said he would come back and reclaim his kingdom and his bride (followers). 

I loved the title of the book. It sounded similar to Perfect Chaos. In the midst of my trials and troubles. In the the midst of meltdowns, temper tantrums, and therapist appointments. I can still laugh. I can still breathe. I am still alive. My life is perfectly imperfect. Today, I had two assignments due for class, in addition to two product reviews for Tomoson. I got home from church, did some cleaning and cooking, and tried to get to work. I could not get started until after 6 pm. The kids, great-niece, and nephew kept bothering me. From invading my camera space when I tried to do a video review to crawling over me when I was trying to type up my notes into my assignment. I still got my work done and turned in on time, but it took some creativity. 

The pastor at church, talked about following instructions and proper planning. The sunday school lesson discussed financial management and once again, planning. My mess could have been a little different if I planned more in advance versus on the day of. Some days are better than others, but it's now 12:30 am. All the kids are sleep. I finally got some peace to work. 

God's kingdom is messy, yet beautiful. Even though people are not perfect,  even though people are doing their own thing, God is still in control of our messes. Even though, we want to rule our own kingdoms, God is still here waiting for us to get things right. One day, we will be perfect, but we can't get there on our own (p. 5). 

I love how the book is set up. The author presents stories and poems, instead of theology. The book is easy to read and easy to understand. 

The book teaches us that God accepts us in our brokenness (p. 17). He forgives us of our sins (p. 17). Jesus will never bow down to you or adapt himself to your beliefs (p. 21). 

Finally, the book discussed how to follow God's vision. The first step is to repent (p. 28). Repenting does not happen once, but multiple times in our lifetimes. We also have to be Kingdom people. We need to be like God. Live for God. Live for Christ. Simply be in God's kingdom. We don't live for us--We should live for God.

8 hour buzz Product Review (Tomoson)
