SOMETHING INSPIRING
I was going to post something insightful and inspiring….. Yet nothing is coming to mind.
A video I did end of June https://youtu.be/erWBFpcn7RQ?si=awyxG29CqOQiRWI0
I am tired and that’s ok. I’m human after all and far from perfect. That’s ok too. We all put to much pressure on ourselves. Pressure to not mess up; to not let anyone down, to be strong, to complete the to-do lits you have; to be successful in your tasks and passons; and most of all not to disappoint. We all get this way especially during the holidays. It is important to remember you’re just one person and it is ok to breathe and enjoy life. If you overwhelme yourself you’re putting your life and health at risk.
I know its not always a option to slow down but if you can make 15 minutes several times a day or even just 5 minutes to stop what you’re doing and just take time to take in your environment and life. Taking time to breathe. Then I believe that you’ll feel at least a little better throughout the day.
WHAT’S THE POINT OF LIFE if you are not taking time to breathe anjoy the life God gave us? Genesis 2:7
None of us want to have regrets and we all could use more faith. The Devil lies saying that we’re not good enough or not worth it ect….. Guess what? He is wrong!!!! The enemy doesn’t want you to succeed! John 10:10 But God does! Not because we’re perfect or we deserve it; because God loves us! So much so He gave us Jesus and The HolySpirit!
You matter and are loved!!! John 3:26; and 10:11 That’s whe God sent Jesus so we don’t have to stress over the stuff we can’t control we give our concerns to Jesus and trust them with him. Because lets face it we can’t do everything on our own. You’ll be surprised what God / Jesus and the Holy Spirit will and can do if you give up your need for full control. My life and family’s life are full of examples of Jesus’s mighty love and power and the differences becausewe let go and let God!
A video I did end of June after the last one above. https://youtu.be/BGxCkJLDcpA?si=uA6s2ZTCZJgW3Yls
Oh look at that. I guess I was wrong about having nothing to say 😅
You are loved! Life here is temporary we all move up or down at the end… according to the Bible, which I believe. however I pray that all you especially my loved ones and close friends will join me in Heaven one day whenever that time comes. Till then please don’t let relationships, or friendships die people are precious and you don’t have to agree with everything because it is impossible because we’re all unique. It takes courage work and time to build relationships with others. Don’t throw them out when things get hard or uou feel impossible instead fight for them and give them to God. Its not your job to handle everything. because being alone is much harder. IV’ve been there. Tho you’re not fully alone if you develop a personal reallationship with Jesus and accept him into your life. All you have to do is ask he’s waiting for you if you haven’t. Please don’t let the stresses of life or people to bring you down. Smile more evn if you don’t want to and eventually you will find reasons to smile!
I pray that you all have a blessed month and l am grateful for each and everyone of you especially those closest to me. You know that I am full of love ❤️ so much so it can get annoying. But I am glad God made me as me. I don’t want to be anyone else and neither should you. You are one of a kind !!!! ©️Amy Jane Sandberg
Ps You may see this post elsewhere and eventually on my website amyjanesandberg.com Although I still have not updated much or made many drafts public yet. I will. Right now, I’m just working on things I need to. I will get it done and work on my books a lot more next year!

The Battle is not Yours Alone.
Hello Everyone, Good Morning I have a lot to say today. Let us start off with this. 💌
It has been quite hectic here lately and we’ve been through many little and big issues. The most important thing is to hold fast to the word of God, stay strong, and do not lose faith! Especially when things seem unsure and answers are not to be seen. God has your best interest at heart and He knows best. One of the reasons I stand on –John 10:10. God wants us to have abundant lives. The enemy wants to separate us from God’s love and the enemy gets pleasure from seeing us suffer. That is why it is important to not get lost in the maze of chaos and strife. I know it’s extremely difficult and frustrating. Especially when you don’t feel like you matter or feel like you can’t get ahead. You may not see a way out of the struggles. You’re overwhelmed with stress and anxiety….. Yet I am here to remind you – Don’t get lost in the trials! Work on embarrassing the joys no matter how small they may be. If you lose sight of the good you are letting the enemy win if so. Yes, it is harder said than done but not impossible. Even if we have to do it many times a day. Giving it to God and letting go of what we cannot do or handle is important. It not only gives us peace when we do but it is also healthier for our bodies. Sure there may be ways we can fix things if forced. If we are stripped financially or broke in another way. Yet if we trust God we see and receive solutions we couldn’t even imagine.
“But Amy….. You don’t understand what I am going through.” You’re right maybe I don’t or can’t. I do, however, know how hard life can get. I have a long list of trials that I have survived and overcome. Time after time. I saw God solve issues and give miracles with my own eyes when I let go and let God take it into his hands. Even when I held onto them and solved them on my own. I can count in just the last two years. However, letting go and letting God gave me much better results than I could imagine more than my own imagined solutions. I am still waiting for some prayers. I know God is working on them still and I will see the results eventually because God has never left me. The fact I am still on this earth is proof of that.
I’ve learned there’s always something going on. How you choose to face it is what matters…. I have seen some of the strongest believers I know lose sight of God’s love and decide to follow trends and desires. They spend their lives seeking what they already had with God elsewhere. Sadly I watched them suffer turning their backs on God. I say suffer because The world and our desires don’t fill that void in our hearts and lives like Jesus does. even I turned my back on God once looking elsewhere for answers once. That is not the answer. I found more fear and hate than I would ever wish on anyone. God is Love which I will get into further down in this post.
God sent Jesus so we can have eternal life and live Abundantly. Not to live a life of fear. Forgetting who has our backs and. Our Father God. -1 John 4: 17-18 “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”
I truly believe that God made us all unique and we all have a purpose fults and all. When we accept Christ Jesus into our lives we become stronger and grow in ways that you may not understand. Being a believer doesn’t mean we won’t suffer. But we have tools others don’t. We have the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and our Father God on our side.
–Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Amen- and don’t forget ⬇️
-Romans 8: 26 – 39 King James Version⬇
26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 27 And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. 28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. 29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory. 31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us the right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. 35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.” 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I know I’ve given you a lot of process but I also pray for you to have a sound mind, and one of wisdom, a spirit of fear…. But of love… Love is what keeps us going It is more powerful than fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 King James Version For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. [ You can’t have self-discipline without a sound mind. ] Love is powerful and a blessing.
Next time you’re in a situation where you have fear, anger, stress, or something else. Ask yourself what verse should you stand on through this. Remind yourself that God loves you just as much as He loves Jesus…..
You can’t earn that love because He gives it willingly and freely!
You are important and special ❤️ What you’re dealing with matters to God just as much as what other’s are dealing with. Don’t compare yourself or your issues with other people because everybody has unique experiences and walks with God. You are unique and have value. Don’t dwell on your issues either find your footing and lean on Jesus because He is here for you always! I know easier said than done. It has taken me years of practice and still have times where I break down. I’m human after all – As are you… Don’t hold onto your faults Jesus isn’t – so you shouldn’t either.
⬇️One last thing you are not in this alone. Jesus is with you!⬇️
Why am I posting this here and not on www.DeeplyrootedInHim.net I felt the need to write early this morning around 1am. I was going through old drafts like I always do and I found this one from March. It was recent to my personal life and others around me right now. Usually, when I find a post like this I move it to Deeply Rooted in Him. But this time I felt led to keep it here for those who may not know God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit and I want to reach out to you who Question and are curious. My faith is a part of who I am. I am who I am because of the struggles I have overcome and grown from thanks to the Lord. I want you to know that He is here for you and Loves you just as much as He loves me. As stated above in 1 John; John 3:16, and John 10:10. Those aren’t just words, but a love letter reaching out to you. I am not just saying that. It is true, despite what you have been told or think You are loved and you have value and you matter! If you want Jesus in your life too all you have to do is ask. It is that simple!
Thanks for your time and I hope this helps you in some way.

Updates are happening…
Hello All,
I started editing and updating my websites/blogs as I said I would. 😅 I have a lot of work ahead of me. The good news is I started and it’s satisfying my need to write while I save up for a PC. One with all the specifications for my needs and desires. Apparently, the host I use changed how everything is coded and formatted. Thus it is a much bigger project than I expected. Please bear with me as I accomplish this long-overdue challenge. Not only do I have to edit my drafts and upload them, but it looks like I have to redo every post and page one by one. Remember I started these sites many many years ago, first on Yahoo then on I bravenet which ended. Was blessed when I found WordPress and have been here since. 🙃
If you keep up with me you know I run three websites two of which are 3/4ths blogs… I will be focusing on updating only these two. AmyJaneSandberg.com and DeeplyRootedInHim.net It would be nice to have a PA to help, however, I am enjoying reading and updating them myself. Having someone else do this would not be true to myself or my sites. If I had someone else edit, update my stuff, and rework the posts in the ways I have to and such. Then I feel my sites would lose their core. It wouldn’t be my voice or my heart in these posts any longer… I put all my heart into these sites. If you want to know me then read my stuff. I am honest and sincere. I don’t play games and I don’t write to please anyone except God /Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The way I express myself best is through writing. It would be nice to have an editor to help me proofread stuff. But I find when I re-read what I wrote I see things I forgot to add or better ways to say what I was trying to say in the first place. Yes, it is a long overdue project and I am lucky to have the time and means to do it.
The reason why I am taking on this massive task now of all time is that people are actually starting to visit my sites regularly and buy my books more. I was in the habit of posting in a hurry because my life was so fast-paced. I didn’t submit the posts as well as I would have liked. Then my dad passed away and I was feeling too dark and drained to do anything much. I didn’t want to be around anyone or talk to anyone. Except for those who fought to keep me close. On top of that, the host WordPress/ Bluehost / Jetpack have merged together recently and they changed so much that the coding I have is outdated. There has been such a huge amount of upgrades since I started these sites that it’s a little overwhelming and I am out of practice. In the past I would make time to edit the sites often, but only minor editions. Now there is so much that needs to be addressed. Most of my posts can’t easily be edited. I get error messages when I open them now. I used to be able to do everything from my phone over the past five years. That is not an option at this point. I literally have to go one by one re-post them while I edit each one. Like I said I already stared. Be prepared to see changes and updates to posts you may want to wait and read my stuff. Unless you want to witness the changes.
Speaking of changes some people suggest that I to change the overall look of my site AmyJaneSandberg.com because they feel it is outdated. I am not sure if that’s how people really feel or if they are trying to get me to buy their stuff. However, That is not going to happen all my products gifts, banners, profile pictures, and such are directly linked to my whole color scheme. My life is all about colors and I love how my page is a spatter of colors because life is messy and colorful.
One last question you may have….. How am I doing this without a PC? I am using my mom’s laptop when I house-sit and my old Apple laptop that has no memory whatsoever ( they were doing a cloud memory-only thing. ) As you may have seen in my previous posts. When they ended the program I lost all my updated books and Apple was unable to retrieve them. I thought I had saved them on my external hard drive, but sadly I didn’t. I had a crazy couple of weeks where I was on a writing spree and got so much done while traveling… Fortunetly I have the un-updated versions still -minus one small book- that was completely lost…….. The Apple laptop was a gift and we had no idea it was cloud only memory. I remember when I first received it I used it all the time. Now I only have the extremely bare basics… No word no writing programs no memory but it works for my emails and websites. The lack it now has is the same reason we aren’t doing any vlogs including the gaming one I started with the Sims 4. too. Maybe one day I will have updates installed on the Apple laptop or Ill gift it or sell it….. for now though my goal is to get a fully loaded and sweet functioning well-staked desktop computer. I have a friend who is helping me find/build. Something I am truly excited about and motivates me to get what I can do while I wait for it.
😊 Thank you for your time and support.
Have a great day and stay safe Strong and kind.

Hello Everyone 👋
I have been getting back into the swing of things finally getting back to my books and other projects.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
-First of all I want to say thank you for praying and continuing to stop by and share your time with me. I know that with how busy we get where you spend your time matters.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
-Second WordPress has joined up with anchor to create podcasts! Exciting right. I always thought about doing them but never looked into it. Now I have! I created a podcast account on anchor that I can use to branch out to other podcast sites. You can find here: https://amyjanesandberg.com/amy-janes-world-podcasts/
I already started creating some as well as converting audio files from our youtube vlogs wich you can find listed here: https://amyjanesandberg.com/vlogs/ I plan to read some of my already posted blogs from here and www.deeplyrootedinhim.net for those who preferer to listen. I am really excited about this 😍.
I am also going to make a product page I’ve actually had an online store for a while and other things I would love to share with people.
I just have to find the time and best way to display the products. I already have a book page with a place you can request to purchase singed coppies from me. https://amyjanesandberg.com/1023-2/
I may possibly add a donation page if anyone is interested. I feel wierd about it tho. If you think I should please let me know. I would really appreciate your feedback on this. 😊
I know I have been pretty irregular with this and writing but I am still determined to publish the books I’ve been working on. I am pretty stubborn. Life is messy and unpredictable its all about how you choose to act and live. It is up to you to decide what you want and how to make it happen. If you do nothing then nothing will happen. The important thing is that I keep trying and haven’t given up. Just like a turtle 🐢. I may move slow but I keep moving. There is so much I want to do an accomplice. I will do whatever I can when I can.
Again I really appreciate you all. You’re encogement means a lot! I hope you find your passion if you haven’t and stay safe! 💕

Hey There World…
Hello friends,
It has been a bit since I said hello👋.
Hard question to answer? It can be huh… You matter! Honestly you should be asked how you are more often. Sadly that isn’t always the case or possible. So here I am asking you.
-I am also here to say to you and I –
Getting back on topic, I thought I would stop by to say Hi. While giving an small update. I’ve thought other then just talking about what is going on around me and in the world, I’d talk to you about myself and some thoughts that I’ve had.
Where do I start… Hmmm. I am not in depression, tho I’ve been there before. Although sometimes I feel like I’m dancing on the edges of it constantly. Yet, I am always having to be on guard, staying strong looking for those silver – linings…
Which reminds me of a passage in the Bible. Stay with me please even if you don’t belive. I’m not trying to sway you. I am a beliver in Christ, yes. Even if you are not, I wanna ask you to have an open mind. I wish share something that has helped me. Maybe it will help you. Maybe not… Please at least read the blog post in its entirety. Thanks.
Psalms 23 <KJV>
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
I’m not gonna dissect the whole thing. However, I feel it’s important to share the full character. What I want to talk about is this part- “Walk in the shadows of death, I will fear no evil.” I didn’t fully understand what the shadows of death meant for many years but now I feel like I do. I remember it like yesterday. I almost ten years ago, I was driving through a canyon. It was a sunny day out but the canyon cast a complete shadow over the long road that I was driving. Then suddenly it clicked for me. To me, that verse meant constantly surrounded by death, yet not dead. Not to be morbid, but true…
My life kinda drives that point home. I’ve had so many near death and serious life threatening situations; due to heath as well as just living.
Do you want a current example being surrounded by the threat of death. Many people would say covid (whatever you want to call it.) is right now the major death threat. Many would also say that it is everywhere and its breathing down our necks constantly… It is a threat in so many ways. A perfect example for my topic. We try to live on but everywhere and everybody effective, affected, and talking about it. Why… Due to covid our lives have been turned upside – down and inside – out. Why? Because the threat of death is scary!
This post isn’t about covid tho. I am just trying to make a point the fear of death is truly scary. You never bern afraid of death before, never had it thrown inbyour face so dramatically. Lets be real death is scary point blank! No matter where your faith lies. And- if – when your always afraid of it – then you’re not fully living…. That verse Psalms 23:4 points out the true fact Death is everywhere constantly threatening. To me that suns up depression pretty well too. Depression is a sickness based on fear, self worth ect… Always there hiding in the shadows waiting and wanting to attack! That sums up a lot actually.
With that said, It has not been easy for me to open up, let alone write for quite awhile now.
I haven’t been depressed, but I’ve been in the shadows of depression. For over a year now honestly. Not just because of Dad, but other things as well. I haven’t even touched my books in months. If you know me and follow me, you know how important they are to me. It has taken me weeks just to write this post. I have been emotionally and a bit physically feeling like I am running on fumes- out of gas.
Depression, fear, anxiety, and emotions, seems to been running rampant. Fear, especially of the unknown, is really trying to take center stage. For a while it was successful at it. Not just for me, for so many otheres, I know and some I love, as well peopleI have briefly crossed paths with. Fear is a powerful enemy. Just as depression, loneliness and self-worth. All the above is more powerful now then ever… These stresses’ can really wipe you out, and severely damage your life. Not just mentally and emotionally, but also they can be physically crippling. I do not say that lightly. 😒
Usually its best to go talk to someone. I’ve got God, Jesus, and The HolySpirit. For that. This is my go to verse, the one I live by. “The Devil comes to steal, kill and destroy; but I come to bring Life and to bring it Abundantly! –John 10:10 Along with “I am the good Shepherd; the good shepherd sacrifices his life for his sheep” –John 10:11
= Jesus. Jesus is my Shepard. So I will fear no evil, like Psalms 23 says. Even when it gets gets hard.
Personally I am just trying to adjust to a new lifestyle and re-figure out my place and goals. While I get through the grieving process of loosing my dad, my dog and our cat last year. I do not like to mention or talk about the rough hardships nor how negative it gets and feels at times. I don’t like to be weak or show weakness. But God showed me it is apart of the growth process and I needed to write about it.
That way I can help others like me maybe, you. I bet I am not the only one who feels down, and stressed too. But keep fighting for yourself, keep looking for the silver linings in life. They may be small but they can have huge impacts, if not now possibly later. Either way they’ll encourage you to smile even if its just for a moment. Trust me. I know. That one smile is a small step towards more smiles.
I remind myself everyday of all the accomplished and stuff I have been through.. which is a lot… Also that I have a purpose and I owe it to God, myself and my loved ones to stay positive and to keep smiling through it all. Especially when I don’t feel like it. I suggest that you also remind yourself of your own accomplishments big or small. Along with your survivals as well… I highly recommend you build yourself up especially when you don’t feel like it.
Here’s a few pictures to briefly recap some of the hardships that I have lived through.
I broke my foot and was in a boot for almost 9 months. 
I had my 4th stroke. 
Was in deep depression for no reason. 
Depression 
Went to hospital for Arteral-Flutter 
Not sleeping much at all anymore. 
Dad almost lost his foot 
After all dad survived and a recovery, he moved to heaven. 
My youngest sister had two near death experiences in 2020 one giving birth and one later in the year. 
Grieving and fighting depression again. 
Still covid drama around the world. Me trying to entertain you. 
Me infront ofvtbe last painting dad did. 
Making myself go out and run dr check up, dentist visit, errands when I’d rather stay home 
Completely drained and burnt out physically, mentally, and emotionally. But staying strong 💪
These images are proof if I can survive this I can get through the current and forthcoming temporary challenge too.
Its hard for me to be vulnerable. I truly try to stay tough and cheerful. But when I don’t express myself I end you ferling worse then before or have an emotional moment. I tried to keep all the moments captured in images correctly ordered. It is a little hard to do via my cellphone. Sadly lost a lot of pictures due to computer and phone issues. Including the involuntary removals from social media sites. Thus, I don’t have many online anymore. I’ve learned that you just have to make the best of what you have. Easier said then done, I know… A lot of theses pictures are from previous blogs I’ve written. Some I may not have covered here but in preson, but will in my books. Don’t forget thatI and my mothe. Have some Video blogs on www.deeplyrootedinhim.net
Now here are some more positive memorable achievements and moments from my life so far…

One of the many road tripsI went on. My brother, dad and I when I was 20.
This is not all I’ve survivied or accomplished. I don’t have the time or space to go over each event. I have years worth of posts here from instagram and Facebook as well. For you to read if you really want to know more. I promise to keep working on my books; those which I pray will change and help your life in a positive way. Not every day is promised so all I can do is give you the best I can and trust God with it.
I realized in doing this post just how much I’ve gone through and how little I’ve opened up about. Repression always cones out in some form. Sometimes not in the best complimenting ways. Thus it is better to talk about what goes on and what you neded. You matted. Don’t take the people in your life for granted, and open up to someone.
We are not alone. I have friends, family, and a wonderful man. Even if i was by myself I have my faith in God. I see Jesus as my bestfriend. With the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, in my life. As you do too if you so desire. That gives me and you a reason to keep moving forward.
I wake up and thank God for a new day. One full of possibilities and chances to spread love -joy, be productive, and spend time with the ones we care about. Its not always easy for sure, but its better to try then give up. My passion is to spread love and joy. To encourage you that you are treasure. That you are loved and mattered especially to God.
Here are some places you can reach out to if you don’t know who to talk to or don’t want to discuss anything about it with people close to you…

The Forth and Last leg…Part 3
Hello Fellow friends,
Well, I am home now but I had a wonderful time with my man and his lovely family. I learned so much about him and all of them. We did so much with and without his family. My man and went on dates and walks. It was really nice. I got him some shirts he liked and some collector books he wanted. He got me a Totoro purse and wallet and some lotion and body spray too. It is not about the things, to me, the gifts are special because they are from the one I love! As for the rest of the family, they have to wait for Christmas…
When we spent time with his family as well as doing outings and everyday tasks.. We didn’t go to the beach or Disneyland unfortunately. We did however go to Medieval Times! I hadn’t been there since I was thirteen for my friend’s birthday in Florida. Here are some of the pictures I took. I hope they don’t mind me sharing them.
One weekend we watched movies and games. I even exchanged birthday and Christmas gifts as well with him. One of the weekends we had an outdoor bbq, watched a movie on a projector and did some rock painting, played soccer and other outdoor games.
I really enjoyed the one on one time with his mom too. We had a nice heart to heart talks. She even gave me a very sweet heartfelt gift from Starbucks as a surprise one night! It is special for so many reasons. It has all the state specialty emblems, I collect cups, it was a surprise, it showed she cared and was thinking of me. I wish I could have done so much more for them! I wish I had got to know his dad more tho.
I stayed for almost three weeks. When I had free time alone worked on writing my books in progress.
I can’t believe it is only a few days from Thanksgiving!! I look forward to coming back there often. It helps that the man I love has family in California. I totally felt at home with his family and in California. I was really nervous about staying with them but I think it went well. There was so much more I had wanted to do with them and for them. I miss them all so much. His family is my family as well. That’s how I feel in my heart. I never felt uncomfortable or out of place. I just wish I could bring them all back with me! It would sure make things easier for us all. California is one of the few states that I wouldn’t mind moving to. Though I am unable to take permanent residence there mainly because of my Medical specialists and health care requirements.
I can not believe I had to say goodbye. It really broke my heart. I cried so much. I keep telling myself it is not over tho and we will be together again soon. The most important thing is I have so many wonderful memories from this trip and all the trips I have been on this year. I can not express how much I appreciate everyone and everything. To me making memories and spending time with the ones you care about is more important than anything else. Remember to take time for your loved ones and friends as well! I feel so refreshed and drained at the same time.
Stay safe and God blesses you today and Always!!

TheThird Leg of the Trip Part 1
Hello Y’all,
How are you today? I am doing well. I am on my third leg of the trip. I left Arizona a few days ago. It was awesome! Our hotel was one of the best I have ever stayed at. It was huge, with a restaurant, a cafe, sports activities, several pools, gardens and in a fun area. I adored the whole place and I hope to go back one day! We also went to a cactus garden and went to a butterfly garden and an aquarium with some insects and reptiles. It was my first time seeing a rainbow chameleon and poison dart frogs in person! I Loved all of it. Just wish I could have got to the titanic museum too.

Exciting right! It is a bit nostalgic for me living out of a suitcase once again for the past two months. Just like I did when I first moved in 2011. As I have been doing so for almost two months with only a week and a half at home in-between. I have been making sure to work on some of my books during my downtime… I’ve been mainly switching between two main books. When I get stuck on one I work on the other. Apparently, I am not the only writer who does this. I see the challenge of re-writing what I lost as part of a character challenge for myself. I am very determined to get some books done as soon as I possibly can. 🤔 I was gonna participate in NaNo. Obviously, I can’t this year. Funny last NaNoWriMo I was traveling as well… Maybe next year I can join in NaNo. Here is the link if you are interested in participating, or curious about what it is. Good luck, break a pen! https://www.nanowrimo.org/
Why am I traveling you ask? Why not? I love to travel and enjoying time with people. Life keeps everyone very busy but is important to enjoy life. If you are lucky enough to get a chance to spend time with people, especially those you care about you shouldn’t pass that up. Most of the best Christmas movies are about busy people not taking time to enjoy life and time with their loved ones. The main Characters then remember what was most important to them. Then a Christmas miracle happens or Santa gets involved and things get better. If you were in a Christmas movie what would the storyline be? To answer the question seriously as to why am I traveling is mainly because I had the chance to help my sister😀 and to go on the trip I had planned for in July. 🥰 I want to make the most of life and not pass up any opportunities! I do not want to have regrets in my life.
I was planning on doing some live videos along the way, but honestly, I get shy on camera and stumble over my words. So like the picture says I write better then I talk. I am grateful that I have met some awesome people! I love how everyone is unique and awesome in their own way.😄 Along with having new experiencing and seeing new places as well! I met a pretty famous author without knowing it until now. That was pretty neat. As I say famous people are just normal people too.
This is where I enjoyed several days outside listing to birds and getting inspired.
Grackle birds make the most unique beautiful sounds. I really enjoyed spending my mornings and afternoons with them. We have black ones here but now one believed me. I will try and take a picture of one and post it later. They are my second favorite bird besides vultures.
Grackles are quite the efficient foragers, and will even steal food from less savvy birds. They are omnivores and will eat anything from bugs to minnows to different types of berries and seeds. Of course, these birds aren’t snobby at all and will snatch human food at a moment’s notice. Common Grackles are blackbirds that look like they’ve been slightly stretched. They’re taller and longer tailed than a typical blackbird, with a longer, more tapered bill and glossy-iridescent bodies. Grackles walk around lawns and fields on their long legs or gather in noisy groups high in trees, typically evergreens.

Stay safe and God blesses you today and Always!!

Here I go again!
First off let me say sorry for not being on Facebook or any social media much in months. I just really needed some me time off line, and off the computer. I will be working on that tho.
Guess what? 🛩I am off on another adventure! I didn’t think I’d be traveling again. Especially so soon… 🚗 Wow! 🙉
I was asked to join my sister this time on her work trips. I will be away for about a month. I feel really blessed to be able to travel so much. I get to visit some of you and some new places as a bonus.🤝 Exciting right.! 🥳 I am overwhelmed and looking forward to it immensely. I left home yesterday and will be back sometimes mid November. I already miss my dog.
I also plan to take this opportunity to get some writing done. ✏🗒 I’ll have an abundance of inspiration 🤩 and some quality quiet time. I already spent six hours doing so today. It took a while but I finally got the equipment, I needed for my Mac. After losing my work due to update malfunctions, human error, and again for some unknown reasons… I’ve had a hard time getting into writting again. This time around I’m gonna be extremely overprotective of my work. 🔐 I am very determined to finish theses books! I think they will be better then before, because of the passion I have. I am putting all my heart into theses books. When they are done I hope you will enjoy.
Life is to short to let opportunities slip by. I wish I had done a lot of things differently. I did some really great things in my past so it’s not all discouraging… But I shouldn’t dwell on the past.🤭 I am who I am because of that past. I am pretty awesome too!😋 Thus, I am gonna be brave and not let fear hold me back from making the most of life. I will have courage and not hold back. I will trust God and make the most of what I have while working towards my dreams and goals. Remember- people are precious to me, especially those who I am close to. Just because I’m working on me doesn’t mean I’ll stop caring about you! 💕
👱♀️I feel I leaned a lot and grew in may ways on my last trip. I look forward to seeing the results and enjoying this one as well. I better get to sleep now.
Take care and be safe! God bless you today and always!

I’m back… I did a Vlog.
Hello Everyone!
It has been a while. I know I missed you. Did you miss me? I have been taking a break from the online world for the most part. Other than some side projects, which I will get into later. I have been really bad and been on facebook more than this blog. I have a lot of backdating to do. (meaning I need to move things I wrote here.) Let us be real. There is a lot I need to update and change here and elsewhere. I know not everyone uses Facebook, Instagram or social media. Thus, I will be working a lot on that and my books.
Moving on to the point of this post, I did a vlog! A video blog… I have been practicing with a side project which I will tell you about next time. Right now tho I would like to share this with you. This came from my heart and was really personal. It took several tries to finish and I was really nervous. Here it is from the other blog and ministry I am doing with people:
DeeplyRootedInHim.net
Every year or on my other blog I reflect on my life and I write about the growth I have been through. This year I decided to do something different based on the ministry we are getting off the ground. I did my third official Vlog, where I am on camera speaking to you all. I was really nervous. I pray that me stepping out in faith really bless you all. I love you! You Matter! Don’t forget that…
Here are the references she mentioned in the video.

✞ Hebrews 13:5-6 Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,” so that we confidently say, “The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. “What will man do to me?” (New American Standard Version)
✞ John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (King James Version)
✞ John 10:11-12 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep. 12 A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming.

✞ Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (New International Version)
