To Publish in Power or Not?

Haylo everyone. So I have an opportunity to publish the second book that I am currently working on. The first book I didn't publish, I gave it away freely. So now I am wondering if I should go forth with it. It's scary to jump into something new like self-publishing. I don't want to step out if it's not worthy. I guess we all have our doubts, and this is one of mine in this season. With so much writers out here, and now with the internet, alot of people don't take time to read poetry. So at times I wonder if I am helping anyone. So this is a tough decision for me. But, I am thinking that if this is for me, it will be and everything will work out how it's supposed too. Well thank you all for listening to me. ❤️🙏

❤️5 Money Savings Tips While Living on One Income❤️

So with all the talk of inflation and societal changes, I thought I would share how we live on one income so I can stay home with the children. Now this may not be for everyone and that's okay. But I am just sharing some things from my perspective. We have tried many ways to do this and here are a few that work. 

1) We buy in bulk 

Buying main items in bulk has helped save a lot of money because there is no big major shopping very often. The things we buy are rice, noodles, quinoa, etc. Like the main dish type of thing. For other perishable items, we go to the local market for it. 

2) Laundry by hand 

Yes I know, the thought right? But with inflation making everything go up laundry costs go up as well. So we use a hand washer that is effective in cleaning all of our clothes. Now if it gets too much I do go to the laundry. But when I am on top of it it's not too bad.

3) Buying laundry detergent in bulk 

This has been a huge lifesaver. When we buy a big jug of detergent it can last for up to a year. I use it for everything as well to help cut costs.

5) Walking lol 

I have boycotted the trains in NYC because it is straight trash. So we stay local if we want to go anywhere or hitch a ride from a brother of ours. I like being driven around anyway😁

For now, I will leave those tips. I am not a financial advisor, but I hope my suggestions can help someone. If you have any money-saving tips feel free to comment below🙏❤️

The risk of using chatgpt

Haylo, so I started using Chatgpt. I like using this as a help to my homeschool. The older my children get, the more requirement and study is needed. So chatgpt has been a help to organize. However, there is another side to it. This actually can write poetry, rap rhymes, and other things that are supposed to come from the heart. We played around with it last week and it was hilarious, but it was empty. You can tell the difference between a genuine piece of writing, and empty cold word writing. So with that being said, it can be used as a substitute, but it can never substitute the personality and heart of the person who genuinely loves to write. I hope I have provoked thought in someone's mind today. Be carefree and have a great day 🕊️

Check out my book review !❤️

"I can't lie it took me a few sessions to read it but each time I feel like a deeper connection to you as a creative. 

It gave me the fuel to create a YouTube video 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Girl don't be surprised if your content is referenced within mine, I really felt myself relax reading through it. 

The fact that it's in presentation form was like an aha moment. You really took it to another level with that.

But thank you for sharing your gift with all of us. 

You are amazing! 

Continue to be full of Yah 🙌🏽"

Edited to protect identity. 

This is is exactly the feedback that is needed. It encourages me because I know that a few people are reading the book. In the process of reading, they felt inspired to create and go forth. Thank you dear for taking the time to read the book, providing feedback, and stepping out to create. ❤️😉

Moving On?

Happy Monday. So I had so many different thoughts for the past few days. I was thinking if I should move to another platform. Blogger is awesome in its particular ways, however, I want to expand my writings to a bigger platform. I think I can go forth and create and focus on growth through writing. So, I am still thinking about it because change is not always easy. Working on the blogger site is simple, safe, and sweet. However, I feel it's not as open for me to do what I need to so I can expand. So this is a short one today, but the lesson I am learning in this season is to go forth and create, and if that means moving on then so be it. So if everything lines up for me to cross the ocean then I will be leaving Blogger. Well, I hope you all have a creative day. 

The importance of social media breaks

Haylo👋 So there have been so many things happening in the world of social media. I know myself, if I am not careful I could become overwhelmed by it all. Social media can be such a useful tool, but also exhausting. So at times, it's best to pull back from it and just breathe. There are alot of changes happening in the world and we have to be ready for them. There are things I do want to accomplish so our household can be ready for such changes. These include food shortages, water shortages, Emp, and inflation rates. Sometimes with social media platforms in the way, it can become a distraction. For many, I believe this week is spring break. Go outside, enjoy your family, and enjoy different available activities. Lastly, use the tool as a learning device, don't let it use you😉. 

My small book of quotes the beginning

"Depression has no facial expressions. It can smile all day and laugh and the eyes that see it will think wow she's so happy..but only if you can see the darkness and isolation hidden in dark brown pupils that became death from stress. If only people  could see that her life is not as simple as it seems...if only...they noticed that the hope she was holding on to has finally dissipated, and maybe the creator will come searching for her since no one else will..."©️

"Life is full of illusions, but in reality, it's a cesspool of hell"©️

"This world has become a freezer, it was only a matter of time before I join them"©️

"When you look in the mirror, I hope you see, that once the water evaporates that same water will never return" ©️
