So as many of you know I wrote a book. I mean that isn’t even a surprise with all the early TikTok marketing I did with it earlier this year. But if you missed all of that and follow this blog there is something that may surprise you…
Open your eyes and see the world as it is. All the amazing, once in a lifetime experiences, and all the little moments that mean the world to families and friends.
As a photographer abroad working under a professional photographer and exposed to multiple other photographers from a renowned travel photographer to the then coordinator of photography and film for the Institute of Shipboard Education, also known as Semester at Sea, I had the opportunity an incredible fortune to learn from some of the best. Which is something I would never have been exposed to if I had remained in my hometown if I hadn’t jumped headlong into my entirely quick adventure plan.
So last week I posted about my Goodreads account and how I am trying to do better with it and actually did in 2022. Well if that didn’t give it away I am a fairly big book nerd. I love reading and have since I was a child, in fact, it is the one consistent thing about me that even my extended family is aware of and still makes off-handed comments if they see me with a book in hand — “You always had a book you was reading when you was a kid, I see nothing has changed.”
I have been a member of Goodreads for a long while, the problem is I haven’t always been faithful at review books on it, updating my books read, or really utilizing it. That is until last year and my addiction to Kindle Unlimited and since becoming a Goodreads Author!
On my tiktok feed I have been sharing little out takes from my book and a while back I shared perhaps one that could cause problems but speak a truth. One where the quote is representative of a very difficult time in my life but the song is representative of my soul, of the message I wanted to tell the individual who wronged me but was no longer in a position to do so.
