PAUSE A BIT
I just finished writing my sixth book, One Way Traffic( Grow old young) then I released it, and I asked myself of what's next. My energy was exploding, whoa.. I thought that was life well spent. But honestly, I was stressing myself too much, and too thin from overdoing everything like there's no tomorrow. I was holding my cellphone checking and rechecking for what's trending and multi tasking night and day while at the same time trying to finish the manuscript to be re-edited over and over again. But in spite of how pre occupied I was, I feel blessed, grateful that I have something to look forward to and to give out from what I love to do and to share the good what's within me. The ME THAT I AM NOW.
Going back to the first released: after reviewing the books printed, tsk tsk, my goodness, they were all misprinted. Oh gosh...surely it was disappointing. Then the next reprints were done but there were a few typos. After what happened, I told myself to just PAUSE A BIT! I'll give myself time...as you can see I am getting older every day and time is always an essence for me.
When God is willing, finally I'm re-releasing my 6th book on the first week of September. So many things have happened in the past few months that dettered me to follow through my schedules. Sometimes I pushed myself too hard to finish everything on time as planned. But as I've been on the go helping myself to move forward to the edge mode, thinking "I can still control everything what's in my head," but it wasn't the result I was expecting- the more I was lost with time and my mindfulness. I lost track living in the present.
I was sitting on the porch one afternoon after the "book misprint saga"I finally was enjoying the 90 degrees Fahrenheit humidity producing almost a quarter of a cup of sweats all over me. Oh gosh! But anyway, the next morning- I had my blood test done. The next day, the result came and it wasn't perfect but it was okay. Nothing serious! Glory to God in the highest. Thankful! But the imperfections in my blood test needed to be addressed just a little reminder to UNPLUG from Social Media for awhile, put away my cellphone and to take care of myself, my energy and to get half of my life back.
Yes! I'm now living my life every moment!
A revised third and new edition will be available in the next two weeks, when God is willing. I changed the cover of the book many times. In fact, my editor and financier hubby called the book, "the book of many covers."
That’s the joy and freedom of a self published author, and I love it! Thankful!
By the way, in spite of the typos, I still gave away FOUR copies to a few reader friends of course with dedication on it and here's what they say: "Marie, this book is full of power and energy, I love it!" P.C. "Marie, I enjoyed it, it has a lot of nuggets of wisdom." M.S. " I love Marie's book," I. H. " I tremendously enjoyed reading it, and could relate to many of your( Marie's) observations" J. I.
I am very thankful for their support. As a self published author, I found my inspiration to continue my God driven- purpose (writing) from a few people who are touched and have appreciated my teachings.
God is good!
To pre order copies of ONE WAY TRAFFIC BOOK, please email me at Marieonhealing@gmail.com It's a very good gift to give away to your friends, and family. I highly recommend this book to all caregivers, to senior citizens, to the newly minted ( the 55 age group and above and counting) and to those who are interested to get old young and happy.
Thank you! Please pass this info to your circle of friends and finally. God bless!
