    Why Bother?

    We recently read an article that said the average income for a published author is less than 10k a year. If you factor in that Ebooks are easily pirated and copyrighted material is easily duplicated, the average income drops significantly. One reason that we O’Garas offer ebooks exclusively through Amazon is that if a Dear […]

    Sometimes You Need a Little Time

    I have taken a few days off from writing. Before my short break I had posted to this blog every day for 569 days. I was a little disappointed in myself for breaking my streak, but I needed the time to regroup. I need space to think about where my writing was going. By taking […]

    It’s Hot

    The O’Garas live in Florida and it is hot. Not just hot but humid and hot. It’s like living in a sauna. What did people do before AC? Thank you Mr Willis Carrier. What do you do to stay cool? Are you one of the lucky humans who live in a constant temperate climate? Anyway, […]

    Choose Your Humans

    There is nothing wrong with being selective about who you choose to be with or who you choose to have in your life. You can respectfully decline invitations to protect yourself. Don’t apologize for being choosy. Stay home and read instead.

    Bone Weary

    Some humans have a tendency to keep going until they drop from exhaustion. Others work for a bit rest them work some more. As long as work gets done, do it your way. You could always take a break and read.

  • Because you Can

    Because you Can

    Humans are not always good at decision making. We often make decisions based on emotional response. We often decide to do things just because we can do it. We don’t consider that maybe we would be better off if we did not do it. Just because you can do a thing doesn’t mean you should. […]

    Day 39

    If you follow the O’Garas and read our words, it’s no secret that we believe in God. We have a very open idea of who God is. We pray every day for God to bless us and believe with no uncertainty that God did bless us this week as we are going through the journey […]

    Endings are Beginnings

    We have reached the end of a story. It’s the end of one tale and the start of the next. It’s easy to be happy about beginnings. Endings can go either way. They can be happy or sad. It depends on your story. Your story has starts, stops and transitions. It will end for good […]

    We talk a lot about humans and the importance of loving each other. Actually, We are all life loving humans, including animals. We love most if them from a distance, except for dogs and occasionally cats that I love in person. Humans are not required to love animals. In fact animals were created for man […]

    Stories are all we have in the end.

    “We are all stories in the end, just make it a good one eh?”― The 11th Doctor Matt Smith I love this quote from Doctor Who because it is true. All we are at the end of life is the stories told about the good and bad of us. It is up to us to […]
