A to Z blog for April

I'm accepting the challenge to write something every day in April from April 1 with A to April 30 with Z but won't be posting on Sunday so that will be my day to go to church and enjoy the word of God.
I haven't written anything for some time because I don't know what to write in a blog and another thing is I doubt anyone reads it anyway.  
So if you read it please respond and let me know you have been here.  Then maybe I will continue.  
Thanks for any support you can give me.

Happy New Year

Well 2013 is almost over, 4 more sleeps and we will have a brand new year,12 new months to fill with our dreams, wishes and things to do.  One of my goals is to publish another book.  This time with a traditional publisher.  I have sent a manuscript to a publisher but as yet have not heard anything.  Maybe that is my answer to do they want it. I had forgot to mark it down so I'm not sure which publisher I sent it to and which manuscript I sent.  Not very bright I would say.
I wish all of you who visit my blog a very happy New Year and do what you want this coming year.  Reach for at least one of your goals and be proud of yourself for your accomplishment whether you have reached it or not.

Christmas Wishes

In a few days it will be Christmas, did your Christmas wish come true?  There is still time for the wish to come true, if you make the wish. Then a week later a whole New Year arrives.
Did I, you achieve what I, you wanted in the 12 past months?  I did at least publish one of my manuscripts.  Yes it was what is called self publishing, but it was the publisher who did the work.  I paid her to do the work.  I still believe that traditional publishing is the way to go and my next book with be traditional.  
In the next week after we stuff ourselves with all the turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, ham, gravy and what ever else is in your Christmas dinner, take time to consider the next 12 months and know that believing in the Christ within you can do anything you, I put my, your mind to.  It is not I but the Christ within that does the work, what ever it is.  I am worthy and willing to allow the Christ within to lead me to my greatness in 2014.  What about you?

Kanata's Christmas Cottage

No one came to the Christmas Cottage at Kanata Hall yesterday and said they saw this e-mail  and that is why they came so no one got a free copy of The Wild Ones.  Well one lady did as she won the door prize which was a free signed copy of  The Wild Ones.
It was cold in the hall as we had the door open but it was a good day and everyone who came had a good time.  Hope the Americans who read this have a happy Thanksgiving this week.  I have had 4 good book signing and one more to come next week Dec 4 at the square dancing at Burnaby Lake Rowing Club.  If you are interested in square dancing, new dancers start the first Wednesday in January 2014.  Wow it is already about 2014, we just came into the new millennium a few years ago or was that 14 years ago.  As some one told me a few times the older you get the faster time goes like water going down a drain, the closer it gets to the drain it goes faster.  So true.

A surprising thing happened to me yesterday.  Two weeks ago I wore a pair of horse shoe earrings my grandsons sent me in a box of 7 sets.  When I went to take the earrings off at night there was only one.  I felt bad as I had lost one, I was going to wear them when I had a book signing. Well yesterday a day before my second book signing and after doing dishes for two weeks I saw a wire in the drain and pulled it out. It was my horse shoe ear ring, the day before my second book singing.  An omen or what?  
Thank you boys I love you and I will wear these when I have a book signing.  I am so glad I have you.

 I had a bad dream last night about my book signing Sunday 17 at Unity In Action at 17 and Edinburgh in New West.  I dreamed I was at church but had forgotten my books for the signing. What to do now so I decide I had to go home to get them then come back.    As I was leaving I saw two guys sitting in a lounge area which Unity In Action doesn't have.  Anyway I know I will have my books with me and am going to have a wonderful time and hope the people who buy the book will enjoy it.  
I am also having a signing at Kanata Co-op Christmas Bazaar Nov 24 at 7155 Blake Street in Vancouver for those who don't want to come to church Sunday.  There will also be other people at the Bazaar selling their product, from Mary Kay, Avon,  a lady selling candles, other books  plus many more.  There will be door prizes as will and those who tell me they saw my blog will get an extra door prize ticket.

Well The Wild Ones are on Kindle,  I'm sure if you want to purchase one for your e-reader, you know how to go about it.  The link for both paper book or e-book is the same.
 Just the www.amazon.com/TheWildOnes/GladysSwedak will work just as well as all this.  I hope those of you who have read it will send a comment either to the blog or via e-mail or facebook.  Any will get me and the others who may want to read it.  For those who I have promised to mail copies they will come after the book signing not singing hehe.
