I need everyone’s help right now. I am in process of building my media kit and I am looking for testimonials that I can included in my media kit as well as on my blog. If you have the time to answers the following question in a few sentences I would be so grateful.

Thank you so much for being such loyal readers and thank you in advance for your time!
This week for the writers workshop I am going to write about 1.) Share something you learned in February. There are quite a few things that I learned during the month of February. The biggest thing I learned during February was that you should never take a day for granted because you never know when it will be your last day.
The company I work for had one of the ladies in our accounting department pass away suddenly and that made me realize that I need to stop taking every day for granted. I have noticed that for the last few years I have just taken for granted that tomorrow is another day but I came to realize this month that I can’t take that for granted anymore.
Another thing I learned this month is how much time sucks. I say that because I always hear that time will heal and let me tell you that time hasn’t really healed anything. I wrote about how I am feeling this month about placing my daughter if you missed that post you can click here to check it out. I had hoped that at almost 9 years later I still wouldn’t be struggling with placing her. I know that I will never forget but I had hoped that it would get easier with time and it hasn’t gotten any better.
Those are a couple of things that I have learned during the month February.

Princess Ever After by Rachel Hauck was a great book. This is the 2nd book in the Royal wedding series if you want to check out my review of the first book you can click here. I have to say that from the first chapter of this book I was hooked. I love this series of books because they remind me of the movie “The Princess Diaries”. I love this authors writing really draws me in and I love the premise of these stories. In this one you get to follow along with Regina as she learns that she is a princess and they need her to go back and run her country. You also have the bad characters that throw a wrench in whole thing but it is a super sweet book. If you love romance novels than I know you will love everything about this book.
About The Book
A Royal Wedding Book
Regina Beswick was born to be a princess.
But she’s content to be a small-town girl, running a classic auto restoration shop, unaware a secret destiny awaits her. One that will leap from the pages of her grandmother’s hand-painted book of fairytales.
Tanner Burkhardt is the stoic Minister of Culture for the Grand Duchy of Hessenberg. When he is tasked to retrieve the long-lost princess, he must overcome his fear of failure in order to secure his nation’s future—and his own.
Yet lurking in the political shadows is a fierce opponent with sinister plans to abolish the throne forever. Overwhelmed with opposition, Regina must decide if she’s destined to restore old cars or an ancient nation. Together—with a little divine intervention—Regina and Tanner discover the truth of her heritage and the healing power of true love.

The Sinners Garden by William Sirls was a interesting book to say the least. This book was really hard for me to get into. I did love the authors writing and his characters but the plot and storyline just wasn’t for me. There are times as I was reading this book I found myself thinking that there is no way that it could have happened and I think that was the hardest part for me. I do want to check out other books by this author but this particular book just wasn’t for me.
About The Book
In the small Lake Erie township of Benning, someone is at work cultivating a supernatural garden . . .
Andy Kemp’s young life has been as ravaged as his scarred face. Disfigured by an abusive father, the teenager hides behind his books and an impenetrable wall of cynicism and anger.
As Andy’s mother struggles to reconnect with him, his Uncle Rip returns transformed from a stint in prison and wants to be a mentor to the reclusive boy, doing everything he can to help end Andy’s pain. When Andy begins hearing strange music through his iPod and making near-prophetic announcements, Rip is convinced that what Andy is hearing is the voice of God.
Elsewhere, police officer Heather Gerisch responds to a late-night breaking and entering in one of the poorest homes in town. She soon realizes that the masked prowler has left thousands of dollars in gift cards from a local grocery store.
As the bizarre break-ins continue and Heather pursues the elusive “Summer Santa,” Andy and Rip discover an enormous and well-kept garden of wildflowers that seems to have grown overnight at an abandoned steel mill.
Soon, they realize who the gardener is, and a spree of miracles transfigures this small town from a place of hopelessness into a place of healing and beauty.

I saw the following prompt and I knew I had to write about it:
This just in: let’s pretend that science has proven that karma is a thing. Your words and actions will influence what happens to you in the future. How (if at all) will you change your ways?
I loved this prompt because I do believe karma is real and there are definitely things I know I need to change about myself or at least be aware of karma coming back at me. Now that I said that I am not a horrible person but I do find myself judging people more than I should. I know that people always seem to be judging others but it is something that I really want to work on changing about myself because I hate when people judge me without knowing me.
I also would have to change some of the things I do say to people because I can only imagine at this point what is going to happen when karma does come around. When I get pissed off I can be super mean to whoever has pissed me off and that is also something else I need to work on because it isn’t right.
The main things I would change about myself is I would try to stop judging others and be nicer to other people. I would just want to be a nicer person. I am currently working on being a nice and better person because I know it will help me in long run and make me a better person.
What would you need to change about yourself if karma was a real thing?
