I loved this quote when I found it but if I am being honest I don’t know that I could ever do anything like this. I am very much the person who will follow a path because I am so shy and hate to be noticed. I am okay to just be in the background and not be noticed.
I have always wondered if it was something I would grow out of but now that I am 31 I think this is just who I am. I can at times push myself and make myself do things I don’t want to but not very often.
Since I am being honest I can say the reason I have been at my job for 8 years even though I hate it is because the thought of finding and starting a new job makes me sick to my stomach.
What do you think of this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson?
Another week has come to an end, and I am glad that it is over. It was a good week, but I am just super tired and what not so I am so ready to be able to sleep in and relax this weekend. Here are all the posts from this past week in case you missed any of them.
Those are all of the posts from this past week. Next week I have two book reviews and a promotion post for another book. I also will have a quote up first thing Monday, and it talks about not following the path everyone takes but to make your path. I can’t wait to see what you think of it because I don’t know that I would ever make my own path. I hope you had a great week, and I will see you back here next week.
Ian Leaf’s Fraud, Fraudsters and Scams was an interesting book to read. I am glad it was a shorter book because I don’t know that I could have gotten through it if it had been longer. This book walks you through setting up an Instagram account for your business as well as what to post on it and how to use hashtags and think like that. I haven’t gotten into Instagram for my blog but after reading this book, I think I am going to try and see if it really will help me build a bigger audience. This book is written in plain English and isn’t something that you wouldn’t understand if you are 100% knowledgeable on Instagram and how it works. I am going to test out what this book says to do and in a few months, I will come back and let you know how it all worked out for me.
About The Book
With the world around us changing at a seemingly breakneck pace and technological advancements radically altering the manner in which we communicate and do business with each other, far too many people are falling prey to fraudsters who understand all too well how to take advantage of our rapidly changing world. Ian Leaf’s newest work focuses on addressing this important issue by demonstrating how people can utilize new and innovative social media platforms like Instagram without placing themselves at risk of being scammed in some unforeseen way.
In “Fraud, Fraudsters and Scams – What to Watch for on Instagram,” Ian Leaf uses his professional expertise to demonstrate the safest methodologies available regarding the effective use of Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms that are becoming increasingly critical communication tools for both personal use and for enhanced brand awareness. Through Leaf’s new book, consumers, brand managers, entrepreneurs and others can continue to experience the many benefits made possible through effective social media use while eliminating any concerns relating to being taken advantage of by those engaged in deceptive behavior and outright acts of fraud.
Leaf’s text begins by sharing similar circumstances he experienced with fraudsters taking advantage of consumers using Amazon’s platform, outlining how his efforts revealed this unscrupulous behavior and ensured that consumers were able to conduct business without the negative influence of scammers going to great lengths to manipulate product reviews for their own financial gain. His success in exposing this fraudulent behavior is not an isolated incident, as Leaf has enjoyed a long professional career in fraud detection and has assisted many consumers in learning how to recognize fraud and how to defend against being victimized.
The book also covers some of the more practical aspects of social media use, as Leaf takes the time to go through the step-by-step processes involved in registering for an Instagram account and setting it up for personal or professional use. The educational components cover both simple and complex issues relating to social media use, from explaining how to effectively employ the use of a hashtag to detailing how to link multiple social media accounts so they are thoroughly protected from the tactics commonly used by scammers and fraudsters. With practical advice, straightforward explanations and rare insight, Ian Leaf’s “Fraud, Fraudsters and Scams – What to Watch for on Instagram” provides valuable information for anyone who wishes to avoid the consequences of being victimized by fraudsters while using various social media platforms.

20 Short Ones by Dan Salerno was a good book that I was able to get through pretty quickly. I loved that each story in this book can teach you something different and I was able to learn from each one. I love that this book has god in it and things like that but none of it is shoved down your throat so even if you aren’t super religious I still think you would enjoy this book. If I has to pick a favorite story it would be the second story in the book. I liked this one because I could see myself in Tilley and I felt so bad for her. If you love reading short stories than I know you will love this book because you can just read one or two of them when you have a few extra minutes to your self.
About The Book
Human relationships can be intriguing, heartbreaking, funny, frustrating, and soulful (among other things). Sometimes all at the same time.
20 Short Ones takes you from Northern Ireland to New York and places in between. Each story offers a snapshot experience and an opportunity to emotionally relate to the age-old mystery of how friendships (romantic or otherwise) happen, told from a faith perspective.
This book is written from a faith-based (Judeo-Christian) point of view so if you’re a fan of Christian Fiction, 20 Short Ones is for you!

He eventually returned to New York and worked for a children’s ministry in Brooklyn, NY for 16 months soon after 9/11.

You can read a preview of 20 Short Ones on the Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Westbow Press and Christian Family Stores websites.
Mermaid Moon by Colleen Coble is the second book in the Sunset Cove series. I haven’t read the first book in the series so I am not sure what it was about but I do wish now that I would have read the other book because I did wonder about some of the back stories. With that being said you will be fine and able to get through the book without reading them in order but is plan on reading the series then I would start with the first book.
Anyway, let’s get on to the review for this book. I really like this book from the first chapter through the end of the book. Even though I was able to understand what was happening I do wish that I was able to know parts of the back story but that is mainly because I am super nosy and just wonder what happened to Mallory’s mom and that back story but that didn’t make the book hard to understand. I don’t know that I have ever read a book by Colleen Coble that I haven’t liked and this another amazing book by her. She was a way of making you sit on the edge of your seat and her writing also makes me love her characters. If you are looking for amazing books than I would for sure check out any books by her. If you love mystery/suspense novels then you will love this book as much as I do.
About The Book
Mallory’s mother died fifteen years ago. But her father’s last words on the phone were unmistakable: “Find . . . mother.” Shame and confusion have kept Mallory Davis from her home for the last fifteen years, but when her dad mysteriously dies on his mail boat route, she doesn’t have any choice but to go back to Mermaid Point. Mallory believes her father was murdered and childhood sweetheart Kevin O’Connor, game warden in Downeast Maine, confirms her suspicions. But Kevin is wary of helping Mallory in her search. She broke his heart—and left—without a word, years ago. When Mallory begins receiving threats on her own life—and her beloved teenage daughter, Haylie—their search intensifies. There’s a tangled web within the supposed murder, and it involves much more than what meets the eye. As answers begin to fall into place, Mallory realizes her search is about more than finding her father’s killer—it is also about finding herself again . . . and possibly about healing what was broken so long ago with Kevin. She just has to stay alive long enough to put all the pieces together.

I totally agree with this because the more you try things the better you become even if you fail when you try. After you have been failing one day you won’t fail and you will have mastered whatever it is you were trying to do.
