Stubborn and very determined. It can be a pain some times.


7. What’s your favorite book and why?
 


There is so many. One I can point out that I read in the beginning of the year was Primal by D.A Serra. Survival well illustrated when a mother fight for the safety of her family, kicked some serious ass and beyond all odds tracked the men down and killed them one by one. Becoming primal in her protectiveness. I can relate with the main character in so many ways. This is where the stubbornness and the willingness to fight comes in. Touch my children and you touch me.

 
8. If you had a million dollars what would you do?
 

I hope can give more than one answer

  1. Vacation, I am so tired and can use some time away.
  2. Trip to Tuscany. A definite must
  3. To see more of my country. Meet people
  4. To start a Book shop.

 
9. If you could, would you travel to the past to fix mistakes or travel to the future to prevent ones that could be made?
 

The problem with this question is how far must you go back to fix the mistakes. Since it has snowball effects that changed your life. The one rolling into the other. I would have to be reborn for this to happen. So what I have learned is to take it day by day, live the best you can with what you have and be still graceful about it. Learn, gain knowledge and do not be afraid to let the naughty side of you come out once in a while. We are allowed to let our hair down and just enjoy life.

10. Do you think it’s possible to hate someone?
 


O yes. Hated a few people in my life. Part of growing older is gaining wisdom in who to trust.

  1. Determined
  2. Observant
  3. Teachable

  7. Excellent blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a
    little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option?
    There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused .. Any tips? Bless you!

    1. Thanks for the compliment Rashed.

      Yeah it can be confusing and intimidating at first but once you find your feet it would be worth while.

      I will recommend to start with a free platform like WordPress or Google Blog to familiarize you with the whole scene and the content you will add on the site. It can be overwhelming if you have no idea what you will add.
      Only recently I have I went for the paid option as well, to broaden my horizons. Using both as a platform to advertise my own books and those I help as well.

      Hope it helps
      Bless you
