Folks who soar through life without a trace of stress are generally better at hiding it! DON’T COMPARE AND JUDGE YOUR FEELINGS! FOLLOW YOUR HEART!

Author, Kim Knight
Well guys I have just interviewed three brilliant authors today, and the line up is so diverse! The feature has become popular ,I’m doing two authors per month as a feature. The next spot open is from August onward, so if you’re an author and you have a new summer release, or you fancy a spot light (even if you don’t have a new release for the summer) come and strut your stuff….do get in touch. Everyone is welcome, but male authors are encouraged to participate and authors who hail from ALL genres, you wait until July there’s a lot of diversity there.
I’m loving meeting you all, and reading the author review copies of your books I get. I promise I’ll read them and review them.
You can read some previous author interviews here.

I pray and I pray
“Lord, give me strength!”
All He did
was infuse me
with His love.
Thank you!

LOVE IS GREATER
They pointed and shook their heads.
“Not a grain of common sense,” they said.
Still she moved ahead.
“What is she thinking?”
She followed the path.
They called her names,
but it did not sway her.
Throwing things at her did nothing
to change her mind.
EXHAUSTION,
heat,
hunger,
threats. . .
loss of friends,
still she answered the same way.
“Follow me!” He’d invited.
Eagerly, she did.

We have been commanded to love our enemies.
When we refuse to pray for them,
we are holding hate in our hearts.
LET IT GO.
Give it to GOD!
Be free!

LOOK FOR IT!
The sun still shines
on dark rainy days.
You can see it reflected
in EVERY puddle!
POUNCE!
SPLASH!
SMILE!

Enlightened
Beauty in a storm
when I do not look in fear
sun peeks through the clouds
