BOOK COVERS by DeO DESIGNS

Dearest friends

I know many of you are established or budding writers.  I would like for you to take advantage of a very economical graphic design service for your book covers and promotional material from DeODesigns - a division of DeOlivereOriginals Barbados.

You can visit the website at www.deolivereoriginals.com

and I have above and example of the cover of my upcoming book 'SILVERED MIRRORS' to give you an idea as to how great the graphic work is.  I know many of you will be using indie or self-publishing and may think that just because it is an e-book that the covers don't really matter if you are reading on Kindle and so on.  Well I think they do, because when you are searching for books to read or buy, the covers still draw your attention, especially if the author is not yet well known.

So if you are interested you can drop us an email   deolivereoriginals@gmail.com and we can give you further information.

Hope to hear from you guys soon.

Regards

Cher

RISE AND BE

GOOD DAY MY FRIENDS

For the Christian folks among us this four day weekend culminates a major point of significance for those who follow the path of Jesus.

I have friends of many faiths and beliefs.

I therefore would like to encourage all of you to take this four day time period and use it as a point of reflection during this year. The story is based on the path of a person who kept strong to their principles, belief and faith in their Father. They were subjected to persecution, scorn and finally crucifixion, of which, they Rose and triumphed.

Let us use this as an example for our life's path. Whether you be Hindu, Muslim, JW or Rastafari, take a moment and reflect on our interactions and the results of our actions to our fellow man. Let us shed the material burdens and facades and be true to ourselves, and only then can we be true to others and contribute to the beauty that is around us; that which has been given to us to protect.

I for one am forever grateful for whatever is thrown my way, for I know it is a lesson to be learnt. However it is dressed, wrapped or presented, a life lesson lies within.

So my friends, enjoy your days. Take the time to breathe and be at peace with yourself and the universe.

Take the time to RISE AND BE!

Blessings

A NEW DAY

A NEW DAY

STAYING IN CONTROL

I was once asked

"If you could go back in time, what advice would you give to yourself 10 years ago?"

Whenever I think of that question I smile.....hindsight is 20-20....and we wish we could have been blessed with the visual acuity to see and the advanced mental capacity to understand every situation before we ventured into it.  But that would make life very boring and plagued with no challenges at all.  How would we build our characters, our personalities, our idiosyncrasies.

But, I thought, how would I change it?  Having the power to change a time-line cannot be taken lightly as the actions and purposes that are affected are infinite. Would your good friend of recent times still be your good friend of today. Would passing that mirrored surface on the street of hundreds, that one glance you gave yourself, of yourself, and you saw how despaired you looked, how down trodden and defeated, if you hadn't looked, would you have made the effort to walk a bit taller and straighter and had the courage to tackle your demons head on? Probably not.

So, is the question pointless.....I don't think so.... my answer.... 

                   I needed to take control of my life....I needed to understand and recognize what was good   for ME.....and not what the status quo told me was good for me...I pride myself in being logical and analytical...I also know that I am intuitive and my gut works very well (smile) 

Since then, I have attempted to take control of my life. But I am not so sure I have achieved the goal. I know I must continue on my journey, the challenges, the heart break and the realizations.

They will come.  They will hurt.  They will be conquered.  I will be strong.  Where do I find my strength?  In my conviction.

  I AM HERE FOR A REASON....I HAVE A PURPOSE....I WILL FIND IT !!!

Until we meet again my friend.

Be steady in your walk....be vigilant in you stride....be purposeful in your being.....be sensitive in your touch.

You make a difference to the world.....you are blessed.

I AM BACK....AND I GIVE THANKS....

My dearest friends

I have been away from my blog for some time.  I do apologize for this and I will make an effort to be here at least once a week.  More if I can fit it in.

I have been on a journey of decisions.....some I have had to make that are not the popular choices, some would precipitate estrangement from newer associations once referred to as friendships, and some that I am sure will bring new visions and sunrises that will nourish my being and allow me to continue to be of worth to my fellow man (or woman for that matter).

My writing still remains important to me.  It is the portal through which I can express my inner most thoughts and feelings, even under the guise of a fictional character.

I have entered on a path where some persons I truly admire are walking or have already left their toe impressions in the dirt.

I would like to recognize a very special woman who has welcomed me into her space....Nailah Imoja is  a spirited soul. She has extended her arms to me and I blissfully absorb her aura of wisdom and humour.

 Nailah, thank you for your kindness and I am eternally grateful.

Have a wonderful day my friends.

I bid you all Blessings...
