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…… Continue reading Day 39

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…… Continue reading Why Bother?
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…… Continue reading Sometimes You Need a Little Time
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,…… Continue reading It’s Hot

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.

It depends on your story. Your story has starts, stops and transitions. It will end for good…… Continue reading Endings are Beginnings
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.

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.…… Continue reading Because you Can
Do you read?
Do you read? Books are all the things you’re thinking of right now. Books are movies in your mind’s eye while you are reading. They are tickets to far away lands, windows into other humans’ lives and vessels to worlds unknown. Books are a way to connect with other people who share the same interests…… Continue reading Do you read?
Slow Yourself Down
If you don’t slow yourself down life has a way of doing it for you. Even if the timing is bad, rest when you need it. Because when life throws something at you to slow you down the time it happens is always inconvenient. Pick up a book and relax a minute.
