Christian Authors For World Relief
This is wonderful.
Attention all Christian writers and nonprofit organizations. I’ve been discussing a concept with some people in different parts of the world to see how we can create a network to work with each other and both sides can benefit. What do you think?
Authors donate their works to nonprofit organizations who print those books in countries it costs a fortune to ship to. The nonprofit organizations sell those books to raise funds to cover operating costs. Here is the basic concept.
Authors must own all copy rights on their books and have total control over those copy rights. Authors enter into an agreement that protects both parties. Nonprofit organizations overseas receive electronic copies of those books with limited distribution rights. Nonprofit organizations have books printed locally and handle price and distribution. Nonprofit organizations cover the costs of printing, taxes, translations, and other costs. There is no financial risk to authors…

Fun Reality: House Wives of the Potomac
Well, here again another public enjoyment! I love this because I enjoy seeing all the various lifestyles. The clothing, the issues, the arguments are amazing. I am a woman of color who has worked for 25 years in law enforcement. I wore a uniform to work everyday. So my enjoyment is pretending that I have beautiful hair and slim body and walk in closets with hair dressers and makeup artists to put me together. LOL! I wish I could have some body to get my face ready for work everyday! The Housewives complain about silly things…but I enjoy it! Because I did a dangerous job and did not have time for such stuff.
I am retired now, so I can sit back and watch them dispute about personal issues or public ones inside of these wonderfully built modern homes with swimming pools, Bentleys, and private jets.
I will never have those things…I sit and marvel at the House Wives and wonder how come I was born on the OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKs. But I still enjoy the show.
Next blog I will highlight and actual episode.
Fun Reality: Keeping up with the Kardashians
Looking at the Kardashians is Great! I love the show. I can relate to it…on some levels. I love watching the family issues, light and heavy. I enjoy the lovely homes that they live in and the trips that they take. I love looking at the clothes they wear. I love the baptizing of little North West. I loved watching Kanye being present with his wife and child for the baptism. I love when the entire family went on trips with Bruce Jenner to Greece. I love the show. I just enjoy it so much. I love having the walk in closets and the family discussions and interventions.
Ok, now for the detail on my views. I just got cable tv in August. I have only heard or seen Kardashians on the internet. So I had the same negative views as some of the so-called haters. However, I actually did not know the story of the family or Kim Kardashian until I got my cable tv installed. But to be honest it is hard to comprehend some of their issues, but most are pretty clear to me.
- Sometimes it is fun to see shows that seem to present reality. However, it was so funny when Kendal’s large puppy pooped in the Chris Jenner home. It was so funny, because I have owned dogs and I know the struggle when you allow pets in the house. I was not laughing at them..but rather could so relate…no body ever seem to have an idea what it was like raising my son, caring for an sick mom and working a full time law enforcement job. So the poop on the floor episode was hilarious.
Tune in to next blog on more of highlights of the Kardashians and my views on them.
Flint Michigan? NO WATER??
What has gone wrong in Flint Michigan? No Water?
Boy am I scared. I am watching a reporter telling about Flint Michigan and the water that has been tainted with lead. When did this Governor go wrong? What is to become of the poor people of Flint Michigan. FEMA has been to Flint and delivered 28,00000 bottles to the 100,00000 people that live there.
Can that happen in New York? What are we doing to prevent tainted water in all of the United States? Can FEMA deliver enough water for the entire country?
I have seen water purchases increase over the years. I never used to be such a water drinker…however I am beginning to realize that I need to go out and just collect water as much as possible. I know that we have been told to create READINESS PACKAGES in case of emergency. But I have been unable to buy enough water that I can store for emergencies. So what do I do? I have to pay rent, I have to buy food, I have a family to maintain. Now this latest horrible mistake has caused me to consider buying more water.
What do you think? 
The sign of the times is upon us. How should we protect ourselves from the mistakes of the persons in charge of our drinking water? How can we stop this from going global. Suggestions please, because I want to be proactive on this issue. Thanks.
