Reflections Of A Quiet Storm
Patricia A. Bridewell

As CEO and owner of a new nursing registry, Pauline Bridges is striving to reach the height of success, and then unexpectedly tragedy strikes. After a near fatal automobile accident, she climbs from the wreckage unscathed. Shortly thereafter, God begins to reveal her past. Chronicled in a series of stories, her life unfolds through a long journey; a pathway that unveils many secrets that not even her children had been told. Memories, dreams and flashbacks of her mother's abuse at the hands of her stepfather, a rape during adolescence, her brother's stormy lifestyle, and the agony of a marriage that was destroyed by her ex-husband, Naman's infidelity and substance abuse, all return to torment her.

Take A Break And Read A Great Book

Take a break, grab a great book, relax and read. Reading relaxes us and helps us to not focus on all those overwhelming thoughts from life's fast lane.

The Truth About Marketing Your Book

If you've published a book with a POD publisher, half the work is done. Now you have to market your books and that is just as important as writing and publishing a book.

Maybe you've paid for the 25,000 online bookstore promotion package. OK, cool your in the data base, along with millions of other author's and books. Maybe you've paid for the national and international promotions package. That's great, now your again among the millions and millions of online books.

Have you Googled your books title, or maybe your name and found that your book is found on the search engines? That's great, however in all honesty does anyone other than you, your publisher and a few friends know the name of your book or who you are? Let's be honest, if your a first time author or a unknown author, who's going to search for your book by it's title or your name as the author?

As a author, you must market yourself and your book. That's where having a author media site becomes your starting point. You can showcase your book, a description of your book, your author description, some interesting things about yourself, share important links and share your contact information and where and how book lovers can order your book.

Provided that you can order your books from your publisher at a author's discount. Then you can sell them right from you're authors site and the profits by far exceed royalties.

Your author's media site becomes your online worldwide business card. It is where people can find you, read about your book, you as the author, about local book signings and whatever other interesting information and content you provide. Without your own personal website, or authors blog, your just another book and author among the millions and millions found online.

Some author's join every book club they can find, sign every guest book they can and join other author communities hoping that this will bring book sales. However, in the end, this usually proves to be a lot of work with very little results.

You're Only A Idea Away From Success

You love writing and that's because deep within you is this creative DNA. You have this ability to write stories from start to the end, and see things unfolding while your writing. You have this desire to publish books, write great stories and become a author. Deep inside of you is a river and that river must flow or you feel as if your a stagnant pound.

Authors, Let that creative river flow. You're only an idea away from success.

Author Information, Book Conferences, Book Events

Information and knowledge is key for authors that want to market themselves as authors and market thier books. Sometimes a author can't take off and attend book conferences and book events nationally, however, there are some great local book events and conferences worthy of attending. Of course it also depends upon what area you live in, however here are a few links to some great sites that you can view and from them you will find other great links and ideas.



Another important part of marketing yourself as a author and marketing your book is through having your own authors web site, authors blog or authors media blog with contact information.

When The Mind Rattles

Not every thought that a man thinks will produce greatness. However, if one muddles through the thoughts of one's own mind, one can seperate reality from fiction. In the end both can be enjoyed, however only one will bring true happiness. Which one is for you to determine.

Living Life As A Fantasy

Life is far from a fantasy or a movie where you can write the script as you go along. However and again for some, life is exactly that. A well scripted fantasy or dramatic movie that is constantly unfolding and they are the director, play write, author and the main character. I guess that's OK for some.

Let me encourage you that while your enjoying life regardless of what chapter or scene may be unfolding. Apply wisdom, not merely as words, but rather as a path. Have balance, not merely as sayings, but well applied.

Truth is, deep within you are great things. It's just sometimes you have to get the weeds out, so the fruit full things come forth.

Stop, Stop, Stop

Does someone have you offended? Has someone got to you with their words, deeds or actions? Usually when this happens we find ourselves frustrated, bitter, and even angry. Before we know it our moods have turned for the worse, we become grumpy and difficult to be around. Stop!, stop!, stop!.

Your just ruining your day. Chances are the person that offended you is having a great day and time.

Freebies On The Web

There are lots of freebies on the web. From free blogs and websites, to free sample products to great free services. Sometimes I simply Google the words, free, free products, free services, free blogs, etc. Well you can probably come up with some additions. It's fun, a great way to pass some spare time and sometimes you find great freebies. Check it out:)

Online Christmas Shopping

There are some great sites out there that offer quality products and services at great prices. With the Christmas Holidays soon approaching, now is the time to start searching for those special Christmas gifts and savings. Don't wait till the last minute, especially if you have shipping to do for relatives in other parts of the nation and world. Plus many of these online sites offer drop shipping and free shipping.

Miss the traffic jams, crowds and tensions while shopping online. Plus you save on gasoline.

Christian Blogs, Religion & Cultures

If so take some time to visit our friends at The Christian Blog Network of In His Glorious Name Ministries Online where you will find some great blogs and ministries within the body of Christ.

How To Save On Your Utility Bills

The cost of utilities has skyrocketed. Last year we were paying $180.00 a month average just to heat our home in the winter. Summer brought $200.00 a month electric bills just to keep the house cool. Of course our landlord refused to fix the water leak under the foundation of the house which affected the hot water heater which was a gas water heater. Then there's the fact that when we rented the house he promised to put adequate air conditioning in and when summer came he handed us two very small window A/C units that had to run 24/7 just to cool the home.

The above are not ways to save on utility bills. They are the fruits of what I deem a crook and a slum lord. In the end the landlord lost his home to foreclosure, as we moved out and no one else would rent it.

There are ways to save on your utilities and if you contact your utility company, they will provide you with information on how to save money. Plus you can have them come out and examine the heating, stove, air conditioning and other around the house situations that could be costing you money.

Where there is a desire to save money, money will be saved.

Relax, Grab A Great Book & Some Java

Winter will soon be upon us and that brings spending more time indoors. It gets cold outside, the weather starts doing its thing, day light savings changes and most people start hibernating. That's when it's time to grab a good book, a cup of Java and relax in a good story.

It's relaxing to sit at home, read a great book and sip on some nice hot java.
Enjoy!

Brain Overloads

How many megs can one's brain hold before the memory chips clog up. Occasionally, we must clear the clutter out and come down from the high altitudes of our own thoughts and find reality. Otherwise, the families always running for cover, the dogs batting it's head against the walls and we lose track of what we were trying to accomplish.

Blink!

Hidding Behind The Scars Of Life

Sometimes life can leave us with scars, very much like being in a automobile accident. We encounter difficult times, illnesses, emotional problems, losses and many other unfortunate things. As the years go by, we can end up with deep wounds and scars. That is sad and hits home with many of us.

Let me encourage you to let go off all the traumas that life, others and even those in your own household have inflicted upon you. Don't live in the scars of yesterday. Be healed and enjoy you're today's and tomorrows.

The In Justice Of It

Have you ever encountered a situation when someone owed you money that they promised to give to you, yet you never received it. Or maybe someone promised to take care of another matter, yet that too never came to pass. Next think you know, the person does everything they can to avoid you. That's because they don't want to be held accountable.

What the don't realize it that they are accountable and their actions or shall we say non actions will catch up with them and many times they will be multiplied back upon them in other areas of their life. You see, we all reap what we sow and if we sow dishonesty and broken promises, we will reap the fruit of such things.


Darkened Hearts

Have you ever noticed how sometimes people's true colors shine through and the colors are the complete opposite of what they wanted you and others to think about them? Only to realize that you have been handed a continuous flow of deception and lies? It amazes me how some people use and abuse others basically to make up for their own miserable worthless lives. Many times you can even see the fruits of such people in their children do to the dysfunctional family and dysfunctional family lifestyle. It's sad because their lives are filled with endless scares, headaches, and metal illnesses and the affects upon the children lead to emotional problems, anger management problems, guilt, shame, embarrassments, and they become disconnected from reality.

Know this, they do not go un noticed and while they think they have pulled the wool over the eye's of many, in time, they will be exposed. You see, those who cast evil and wickedness upon others in the end become ensnared in their own ways. Life becomes endlessly painful for them, they continue to encounter emotional, mental and even health problems that soon overtake them. It's really sad to see a life and the lives of others waste away and decay like that. It's a long, slow and very painful death, yet death is withheld from them.

There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

When Peace & Rest Cease

Have you ever noticed how sometimes people's true colors shine through and the colors are the complete opposite of what they wanted you and others to think about them?

Many times you can even see the fruits of such people in their children do to the dysfunctional family and dysfunctional family lifestyle.

When The Catch Only Yields Sardines

There are big fish and small fish in the oceans of life. Many times we set out for the big catches and end up with sardines rather than tuna. Yet even as a child we must learn how to catch the minnows before we attempt to catch the big ones. We learn from the process of starting with small things when we are small. Sometimes we see ourselves as giants with great capabilities. Sometimes we see ourselves as that which we are not or shall I say have not arrived at or accomplished yet. Now don't get me wrong, that's not to say that we all can't find and become successful. However it is to say that we must work at success, earn success, cultivate success and become successful before we lay claim to it. Oh, and by the way, quitting is not in the formula.

Suspicious Minds, Thoughts And Blind Sight

A suspicious mind runs on paranoia and leads to dark thoughts. If unchecked it's like driving in the fast lane of the freeway blind.
Trust is a great seed, honor is like a breath of fresh air and loyalty is like food to the soul.
Practice them.


The Nutty Professor

I encountered a dream last January. There was this man and he appeared to be like a professor. At least he thought he was. He had all his books and papers in front of him on a table. He was speaking as if to a large crowd. In front of the man were rows and rows of chairs. The chairs were all empty, yet the man continued with his speech as if all the chairs had people sitting in them. The man was speaking and teaching to empty chairs. It was only a dream.


What colors does your character and personality give off? Are you a beautiful rainbow or a headache? Are your colors full or transparent? Do people like you or put up with you? Do people enjoy you or walk away wondering if you're all there. Do you see yourself as beautiful colors while others see you as colorless?

Lost In The Space Of The Mind

Do you know him? He's full of idea's. He's a master at sharing things. He has volumes of great ideas, endless projects on the board, and he's constantly thinking up new ones. The wheels of his mind are full of great accomplishments. The racing thoughts fuel his very existence and he sounds off at every listening ear the very thoughts that consume him. Like a speeding racing thought, the next thoughts come into play, and the world is his play ground.

Success escapes him as fear of failure takes rule over him. For it's easier to create another new idea than it is to complete the ones already on the table. Like a frog leaping from leap to leap, as the battlefield of the mind unfolds.

He's an imaginary idealist just waiting for the next chapter of his mind to unfold ...

A Saying Of Old

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Racing Thoughts Faster Than A Speeding Bullet

Have you ever been there? When you're thoughts take you over and the shut off switch is in another city and no where to be found. Take heart, as it happens to millions of people. Personally I don't suffer from the situation, however I do know people that do and they are quite normal, just a tad pre occupied. Ok, that's a understatement.

Recommendations: Read a good book or better yet, put your thoughts down on paper. If you can write that fast, that is. Another way to interact with your racing thoughts is speak them into a tape recorder, then play it back and walla. I have a friend that does that. He even puts periods in, paragraphs and literally writes a manuscript by speaking into a tape recorder.

Thoughts On Paper

Racing thoughts at the speed of light.

Phew, time to rest.

Tapping Into The Creative DNA

Just imagine the seeds that can be planted into a child's mind and life through the process of teaching. What might start out at a early age with some construction paper and some felt pens may someday become the cover of a book, or a priceless art piece.

To the left are three book cover designs that all started out with the simplicity of a vision. Just imagine the creative visions that are deep within a child's heart and mind.

I believe that every human being has a creative river within them regardless of age. May we all find that creative river and tap into it.

A Great Book For Children Of All Ages

The Child Who Learned Dreams Come True is dedicated to children and the child deep within us all. That child who loves to dream, that loves adventure, that believes and hopes for great things.

You see, we all dream. Dreams are a part of our character. They encourage us, mentor us, help us to process life, and even help us to find greatness deep within.

However, there is more. This book is also dedicated to adults who have lost their desire to dream, who have lost that desire for adventure, and feel that life's dreams have passed them by.
