I originally created my first publishing company, Sola Mente Publishing, to publish my own books, and then I had the bright idea that I’d help others get published. So I started SolaPress! I’m happy to announce that my first client’s eBook is now available on Amazon! Shook by Maxine Brothers To the world outside her [...]
Back in April 2010, I got the Kindle DX (the big’un ) for free by helping save a friend’s business quite a bit of money. He asked me what I wanted for helping him, and I told him I’d like a Kindle. He pulled out his iPhone on the spot, went to Amazon.com and looked up Kindles. [...]
…not do better. If you don’t believe there’s a God, click here. You may find something more interesting and/or entertaining over there. Now back to what I was saying… Why is “anything he can do, I cannot do better” on my mind? I’m sitting here watching episodes of “Lost,” and the Kate character is getting on [...]
Top of the mind today is “make it happen.” I’ve got a million and one things to do, and I don’t know where to start. So I’m not going to worry about starting with the perfect thing. I’m just going to do the first thing that comes to mind and then the second and then [...]
I was just on Facebook, and I got an instant message from someone I don’t even know. Here’s the conversation: Her: we are praying for you today Me: Thank you. Any particular reason I made your prayer list? Her: God Bless- The Lord led me to pray for you today The trials and hardship are about to [...]
Yesterday was a challenge for me. Tropical Storm Lee dumped lots and lots of rain on my neck of the woods in Virginia, and thanks to the earthquake we had a few weeks ago there are now cracks in the foundation of the townhouse I rent. Through those cracks came the water, and the water [...]
So I went to the doctor’s office yesterday, because I’ve been having so much trouble sleeping since the earthquake and Hurricane Irene. She prescribed a non-habit-forming sleep aid that I took last night. It worked OK, because I only took one pill and not two. She said it would knock me out for 10 hours, [...]
These thoughts came to me while I was tweeting with @SherriWrites at about 4a; after Hurricane Irene moved through my area. There was a time in human history where technology wasn’t available to predict the destructive paths of natural disasters. With meteorological advances, however, there are some things we don’t have to do anymore: We don’t [...]
The plan was to go to bed early and then get up at 5a to go to the gym, but that didn’t work. I found myself wide awake at 11pm, and I still can’t sleep. I had an itch on my back, and when I went to scratch it I discovered that my entire back [...]
…no pun intended. Yesterday, a 5.8-magnitude earthquake started in Richmond, VA, and shook the earth all the way up the East Coast. I live about an hour and a half away from Richmond, so imagine my terror when my bed starting shaking during my nap. At first, I thought I was dreaming that the bed [...]
