If you write, chances are someone wants to read it. If they'd want to read it, let's make sure that when they do read it, they want to read more! That means you're going to have to accept some basic realities, the first of which is: not all writers get paid for their work. Personally, I think that's a shame. If you're a writer, I want you to get paid! I want you to develop a reader-base so you can get your imagined realities out there for other people to enjoy! So, what this group will be …

There are very few Christians that live a life that is fun, content, fulfilled and genuine. Most Christians remain of this world; artificially calibrated, affected, lukewarm, conveniently, religious robots. God has great plans, peace and internal harmony for those who walk in truth. My purpose is to encourage those few. I've been blessed with an authentic spirit to glorify His name and bring mindful harmony to the world in which I live and the people with who I surround myself. I do not believe …

It is all about letting of what really does not matter...
