Will she finally be able to let both of them go? The ladies retreat to St. Thomas to regroup and find themselves entrenched in a life threatening ordeal which follows Mercedes' to the island.

Can anyone shed some light on how to start your own publishing company?

Recently, I have heard several authors indicated they have launched their own publishing companies in an effort to compete in the publishing industry.

Anyone have any comments on the pros and cons to taking this route? Are there any websites or referrals you would suggest to research this option? What are the best "How To" guides to get this ball rolling?

I look forward to your thoughts.

Happy Reading!

Where do I start? I am in the final stages of launching the signature book bag for the Author Book Bag Club (ABBC) @ www.mgroupmanagement.ning.com. I am completing the manuscript for my sophmore project the sequel to "Me Time" slated for release Fall 2008. I have just signed on to host a workshop series in February at Kennedy King College here in Chicago, entitled: The First Time Out: Testimonies of a Self Publisher. It is a How To series on how to jumpstart your publishing career. I recently started a new assignment at my part time gig, at the airport...Need I say more.
Oh yeah, I have been working non-stop since Thanksgiving straight through the entire holiday season. But the good news is I will be taking some "Me Time" and shooting down to Miami/San Juan to relax and pen a couple more chapters next week. Whew...It makes me tired just thinking about all that I do. Nonetheless, I love the excitement and energy and would not change it for the world!
Anytime I wake up on this side of heaven with my sound mind, body and soul, I will not hesitate to work towards all that the Lord has stored up for me!

How about yourself? How have you been fairing these past couple of months?

Continued blessings, and as always...

Happy Reading!

At 9:02am on December 22, 2007, Pastor Sharon Billington said…: I send you greetings of peace and love from the rest of the family. They, like I, are always with you and never leave or forsake you. The angels and the rest of us want you to know how precious you are to us.

When I agreed to give up my divinity and be born in the flesh, I did so very willingly. I looked forward to the time when we, you and us, could all be together and share in everything that is. I looked forward to loving you, hugging you, comforting you and encouraging you so that, when your life gets tough, you will feel secure and supported enough to face whatever you have to face. I looked forward to being the one you could rely upon unconditionally for that strength, comfort and encouragement whenever and however you need it.

Not only that, I looked forward to sharing with you that we created you to love you, and that we so hoped and desired that you would love us back. We want you in our life, and we love it when you want us in yours. It was so exciting when I could turn to my disciples and expand our relationship to include friendship and true fellowship. I offer that friendship and fellowship to you today as well, and I look forward to your inviting me into your life in that way.

You can see there are many reasons why I came in the flesh so many years ago. There’s more! I also wanted to set you free from thoughts and behaviors that hurt you emotionally and spiritually. If you were hurt by people or experienced hard times in your life and lost things like your health, relationships, or your way of life because of disaster or unemployment, I wanted to give you the tips and tools as well as the encouragement to recover emotionally and spiritually from who or what hurt you so you could have the kind of life I want you to enjoy.

Most of you understand why I sacrificed my life for you and what an act of love that was. It is my hope that this letter will help you understand how very much more my life and ministry were to accomplish. I look forward to expanding our relationship now and forever.

Joyfully, Jesus
