A New Beginning after a hiatus - Being Intentional
The last time I wrote a proper blog post was 10 years ago. In that time I have made up excuses and formulated reasons as to why i could not carry on with my book reviews. That excuse was that i did not have the time. However, in fairness to myself i was not twiddling my thumbs and doing nothing. In these 10 years I got married, had two beautiful daughters and then got divorced. So that was a lot of emotional investment and hands on hard work. I also managed to pen a very short motivational companion called Let Me Be Your Carrot published in 2019 and my latest novel The Mirror Without Reflection. The latter was completed during the 2020 Lock down, a time where i decided that in order to accomplish the things that i want in life I have to be intentional. Meaning intentional at setting aside time to work on being the person I want to be -i.e. the person that God intended, even if it means burning the midnight oil. After all, building greatness takes hard work right?.
To add to that I started a new business where I bring people lip care with an experience. I combined my love for lip balms with Therapeutic Grade essential oils and gave birth to Queen Amakele Lip balms. You can follow may page on Instagram for some lovely lip balm pics Queen Amakele on Instagram.
So on top of all this I have decided to be intentional about reading books and writing book reviews. When I first started this several years ago it came from an authors perspective that its such an incredible feeling for someone to read your book and give their feedback. I decided to be a solution to writers out there who were looking for the same thing that I was - someone to read and review.
So now the test begins- whether i will continue at being intentional. Only time will tell and I hope you will be on this journey with me.
My next line up of book reviews will include children's books ( because I have 2 children) and grown up books. I have bought a few books in my kindle so i will start with these before i go onto new books.
Mr Wrong: Learn from Mr Wrong and Claim Mr Right by Daniella Blechner
FINDING MY VOICE : Unlocking hope in times of grief - Chipo Chiware
Children's book - The Christmasuarus by Tom Fletcher
So that is a lot for now but more will come. So here is to New Beginnings and being intentional into a bright future.
