Ghetto Chick Is On Sale On Amazon!!

This week has been super exciting!!! On June 30 Ghetto Chick was released in eBook format on Amazon. It tells the story of the point in my life where after a failed marriage I entered into a relationship that resulted in even more heartache. Through that brokenness, in 2008, I began to write and journal. During that time http://www.lindarinsights.blogspot.com and Ghetto Chick were birthed.

I’m so humbled by the response to it. When I finished writing Ghetto Chick, I had no idea what to do with it. I put it on a site to sale with a stock book cover and I just left it there. As I learned more about graphics I created the current cover and I knew that I was getting closer to what I wanted to achieve for my first book. A chance scroll on Instagram in May landed me in a two day course about making eBooks. After the first class I was already formatting the book. The interior reflects the beauty of the writings and the beauty of the cover.

I hope that when you receive your copy that you experience words of heartache, love and the desire of a woman, who after a failed marriage, while raising two incredible sons desired more and kept pressing despite the obstacles.

If I’ve learned nothing else in this process, I’ve learned that I was created for more. Check it out!!!!

And At Midnight ~ The Ghetto Chick eBook Release

Ghetto Chick

This moment right here is more than exciting. I'm awaiting for Ghetto Chick to drop on Amazon at midnight and I am so full of emotion. Just thinking that the book that started my journey to writing and self-publishing is coming forth in 2020. I had plans for this book to come out but not like this. 

I'll never forget my excitement, sitting and watching a webinar on creating an eBook and how afterwards I began to work immediately on the Ghetto Chick eBook. While I am no longer in the space of darkness and heartache that I was in when I wrote this book, I'll never forget how that pain and brokenness brought forth gifts that I didn't even know existed within me. Sometimes God has to break us to make us. This will also be the forth book that I have on sale, under my publishing company LindarInsights Publishing LLC,  since suffering a stroke in 2018.

My prayer for Ghetto Chick is that it speaks to another woman and she's blessed by my honesty and transparency. If this book blesses one woman then it was all worth it. 

Be Safe. Be Blessed. Be Encouraged.

Self-Care Saturdays ~ Get Still

This morning I thought about how my mom would always tell us to get still when we were little. We were busy little people. I can only imagine that my mom wanted us still so that she could have a moment of peace. 

Often we want people to get still. What happens when we get still ourselves?

Here lately my mind has been racing with all of the things going on in my life, in our country and ideas that I need to get out on paper. One evening I went for a walk and I came back and sat on my porch. As I sat there I thought maybe I should get my laptop or maybe I should finish the book that I'm reading and God said, "Just sit still. Do nothing." I looked out from my porch and I saw the trees swaying in the wind, the beauty of the sun going down and children riding their bikes up and down the street. 

I sat still and realized that more often I need to say to myself, "Get still. Do nothing." Even if for a moment.

As you go about your day, take moments to be still, to calm your mind.  Listen to what God wants to tell you, listen to the wind blowing, listen to the laughter of those that you love and in that moment, just be. 

Be well. Be blessed. Be encouraged. All things are working together for your good.
