What’s Next

February 11, 2020 by Dana

It’s been a while since I wrote a post to share with you all. I’ve been busy trying to figure out the direction I want to continue with for this blog and website. Life often changes direction unexpectedly and we are left figuring out what’s next. I’m in the “What’s Next” stage.

I started this blog over a decade ago with the intention to share about our family life with others. At that time, I wanted to share about our homeschooling adventures, as well as who we are for our family and close friends. Over time, it became so much more. I added in reviews and then our time on the Homeschool Review Crew. But this year we moved on from the Crew and because of that, we can now change direction of the blog as well.

Epilepsy was never intended to be the front man, yet over time it became center focus. 3 children with seizures is bound to make me pour my heart out. And I’m glad I did because we have gained so many wonderful friends who needed that encouragement and needed to see a family like ours sharing our heart and life.

This new year has brought in a new career choice: Marketing for Authors through a small publishing company that I’m greatly enjoying being a part of. The authors I work with are beyond wonderful and I’m glad I chose to take this on. The experience itself is beyond my original expectation. My readers can look forward to me sharing more about these wonderful writers soon.

I am continuing with reviews as well, but these will be personal and chosen by me. I love sharing reviews of wonderful written works and plan to keep on with that. I also love sharing wonderful products with you all.

This month brings a new release as an Author for myself. I’m extremely proud of the success of the last collaboration I participated in and I look forward to continuing my writing journey in the future. Publishing my story was a huge step for me, but it’s one I am so thankful I took.

As for the kids and the family, everyone is well and enjoying life as always.

I look forward to continue to share with everyone, and redeveloping this blog to better fit our current position in life. I look forward to continue to share, to develop and to write our story.

Thank you for traveling with me on this journey. I appreciate all of you!

They Say When You Have Arrived, You Have Haters

December 2, 2019 by Dana

They say when you’ve arrived, you have haters. Well Baby, Here I am!

But then I’ve had haters for a while now. I have readers who are extremely obsessed with me and with my life, who stalk me online, who post on my social media until they’ve been blocked, then somehow find a way to comment even after that. I’ve removed commenting from my profile because of their personal obsession and vindictive behaviors.

But let me point out, I am not the one who is stalking them, commenting on their social media profiles or even thinking about them every waking minute of my day. I don’t need to – their lives are insignificant to mine.

I live my life daily and I’m pretty proud of who I am.

Recently, I collaborated on a great book project that has released on Amazon. I, along with 15 other authors, share our stories of abuse, or hatred just like this person is doing to me, of being torn down only to overcome what we faced to move forward with our lives and keep going. We share about how we overcome our struggles, how others treated us, and how we’ve moved on to become the persons that we each are today.

Y’all my haters have found me there and they are determined to prove that I am a liar. I really don’t understand this ridiculous obsession with me. The comments left just go to show the abuse I’ve endured is true. I have never hidden anything about my past. If someone asks me, I share it. I’ve used my personal stories to help others. And those closest to me were there to verify what happened, as well as the photos I took to document bruises and abuse I went through with each of my exes.

The thing is that abuse doesn’t stop when you leave a place, and it doesn’t stop just because you block someone on social media. Obsession with someone is real. Seeking to destroy a person because you feel wronged, that’s real, too. Trying to destroy a person because you don’t want them to be successful out of your own spitefulness. And this obsessive stalking of me is just one more part of what I do deal with in my real life on a day to day basis.

That said, it’s not going to stop me from speaking out. There’s a lot more to my story that I didn’t share in the book. There is a lot more to my story that has yet to be written as well. I am not going to be bullied by someone who simply cannot let go or has a need to prove my story isn’t true. If you could do that, you would have already – you can’t so just stop.

The 15 other authors in this story don’t deserve a bad review just because you have issues with my story. The 15 other authors deserve top reviews for sharing these deep thoughts about who they are. But instead petty vindictiveness caused them to receive a low review just because it can be done. And when that one was deleted this obsessed individual wrote another in it’s place. That’s not fair to these individuals.

Cyber bullying is a real thing, y’all. I’ve spoken of it before. The laws against it are lax. And it drives people to suicide every day. That’s the truth of the realness of this kind of obsessive behavior.

For me, I choose to speak out against it, as just another part of my story. I chose to share it for you all to read and not hide in horror because it’s happened to me. This person obviously has a deep hatred of me, is suffering from their own mental health issues and needs help. I feel for them. I would help them if I could but this kind of help is one I cannot personally give. Medications are out there that help control obsessive behaviors, that help with mental stability when you have this type of mental health issues. I truly hope this person seeks help.

And if this happens to you, don’t give up hope. I have a whole team of authors and personal friends who stand beside and support me in my story, in my writing and in my day to day life. I won’t let them down by allowing anyone to continue tearing me down. My life and my story mean more than a couple of abusive comments online. My purpose in sharing it is to help others and that’s my continued hope for all my collaborative projects.

God’s Mail {Crew Review}

November 15, 2019 by Dana

Have you ever just needed a book that you lift you up and give you great encouragement? Do you enjoy inspiring messages that are filled with Biblical insight? God’s Mail is an encouraging series of books that help bring joy to the every day. For this review, our last for 2019 with the Homeschool Review Crew, we were gifted a copy of God’s Mail Volume 3 to read and share with you all.

God’s Mail Volume 3 was written by Ron Hardin and includes over 90 different inspiring poems that bring God’s word to the forefront of your day. Each poem is unique and designed to help you see that you are not alone in the things you may personally feel in your day to day life. Most of the poems are short, but a few do fill an entire page.

These poems can be used as a daily devotional. They are the perfect length for a short reading. On the first page of each poem section there are suggested related scriptures for you to read, and study, as well. These vary and go along with the subject matter that each of the poems discuss.

And there is no shortage of poems to pick from with over 90 selections in this volume. Additional volumes are also available for you to purchase and be inspired by. Each book being unique in it’s writings.

I actually chose this review for my Mother to read and enjoy. She has been having many health issues lately and she struggles with depression, which makes it hard for her to find inspiration in the day to day. So I felt this would be a great encouragement for her, giving her hope in our mundane world, and inspiring positive thoughts through each reading.

She has greatly loved all she has read in the book and even has some of her favorites bookmarked to review as she wishes to read. At first, she wasn’t sure if she liked the content but the more she has read, the more she has found hope in the words within each page. She also enjoys taking time to look up and explore each Bible verse, sharing them with my children as she does so.

She has asked me for the other volumes of God’s Mail, and is excited to read more of them over time. She believes this book is a great inspiration that many will find hope and comfort, even a few laughs with reading. The content is appropriate for any age to read and enjoy.

The book itself is softback and uses 8.5×11 formatting for the pages. It is 221 pages in length. In the front of the book, you will find a Forward, Introduction, Table of Contents and more.

In the About The Author section, you can read about the life and family of Ron Hardin and how God inspired him to bring God’s Mail to life as a project for others to read. Their family is sure to inspire you as well.

God’s Mail Volume 3 is available online and through Amazon for $25.99.
Additional volumes are also available.
