Memories, Dreams, Secrets & Flashbacks

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.

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.

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 great 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.

Success Doesn't Fall Of Trees

Success is not something that falls off trees, it's something that is planted one seed at a time, watered and produces a harvest in the right seasons.

For the quick path is not always the right path and success comes through hardwork, effort and patience.

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.

Cookies, Milk, Cartoons & Chocolate Sundays

Dad, Dad, can we have cookies and milk and watch a cartoon? Oh come on dad, please? Fifteen minutes later, Dad, Dad, can I have ice cream and watch some more cartoons? Oh, please Dad. Ten minutes later, Dad, Dad, can I have some smarties? Please, please! please! dad!

Have you ever been there? If you have children, I bet you have. It's like where do they put it all? How is it possible to eat and eat and eat and still be skinny. Kid's eat and eat and eat. They also play, and play and play and run, and jump and play and run some more. I'm getting tired just thinking about it.

I don't know which is harder. Getting older or being a father. Both are definitely challenging at times. Well, I'm off, we are now having chocolate sundays with cherries (multiple) on top. I guess I should enjoy this, before long she will be asking for a new car.

It's fun to have fun with your kids, especially while they are young and exploring life.

Online Product Purchasing

There are some really great sites online that offer great products at great prices. You'd be surprised how much money you can save if you're willing to wait for the shipping time. Many of these sites even offer free shipping. Think about some of the things that you buy monthly and consider Googling them and checking out the potential online savings that you can find. Especially if you purchase in light bulk.

With a little homework, you can save money and still get great products, merchandise and service.

Brain Virus's

The mind is like a computer. If one's not careful the data corrupts and overloads the system. Next thing you know the trash can has your name on it and the mouse won't work, and your keyboard gets caked with junk. One good look in the mirror and you realize your screen's got a virus.

Be careful what you download into your brain.

Spoiled Rotten Eggs

What aroma do you put off. Do you have a sweet loving aroma about you. Are you sincere, truthful, loving, compassionate or do you smell liked rotten spoiled eggs? An egg yoke is protected by a shell. In side that shell is where the yoke is found. What's beneath you're shell?

We should all have a wonderful beautiful aroma about us, and not that of spoiled rotten eggs.

That Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind Additude

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 bakc 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.

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? 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 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.

Character, Maturity & Perspective

It takes character and maturity to put things into reality and perspective. Without such, it's like sailing without a sail and with no wind.

Keeping The Flame Burning

Sometimes we all seem to give up and quit just a tad too soon. It's like the sardines vs. the tuna. We plan our game plan, put things into motion and then right about the time it's time to set sail, we give in and quit. Sad. Other times we do all our homework, put our plans into motion and start bragging about our accomplishments before we win the race only to give up because something fell short of our desires. The reality is that success is staying the course and finishing what we set out to do.

Now who would want a bucket of sardines when you could have some huge nets filled with tuna? Imagine the captain of a ship setting sail for a big catch, for tons of tuna only to set anchor just outside the break water. Can you see the sea gulls feasting on the spoiled sardines? Many times that is exactly what we do. Rather than staying the course and sometimes even facing our fears, we throw in the towel.

There is more to writing sayings that pushing them or selling them to others. You must live them. Otherwise your flame burns out.

Imagination Checked

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?

Too Many Fiction Movies

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

Bugs On Windshields

Finding success requires pressing through the challenges before you and overcoming the battles along the way. Quiting before you've reached the finishing line shouldn't be a option.

On & Off Ramps

Life's freeway has many on and off ramps. Becareful which ones you take.

Life Celebrations

Life comes with many celebrations and victory parties. Just be careful what you set out to celebrate. Not all victories lead to happiness.

Just A Simple Thought


Wounding others, what fruit is in it?

The Fear Of Failure

It's good to stay the course, finish the race and not throw the towel in before one had accomplished what they set out to accomplish. The end result is the difference between failure and success.

Run, Run, Run

The wise stay focused, have faith, and stay the course. Fools dream HUGE dreams, run from one thing to the next, and never accomplish what they set out to accomplish. They become tossed to and fro, like wandering stars, always looking for the next BIG DEAL while living in shadows.

But hey, there's fun in that too!

Your Words As A Bond

When I was a kid, my mother use to say "remember son, what goes around comes around". At the time, I didn't realize that she was expanding on a scripture that says " we reap what we sow". Therefore, sow good things, that you may receive good things.

A Saying Of Old

But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
