Put Your Heart Under the Tree
Author: lauraLin
I am the mother of three, Concord University alumna, over Youth Services at a local library, and weekend pharmacy technician.
I have self-published two books - In Death There is Life, and A Day at The Fire Department - and have recently signed with a publisher for my third book - Routines. I love to write as it allows me to live vicariously through my characters in a world that is of my imagining.
In addition to writing, I enjoy photography, hiking, and spending time with my family.

Daily Decisions
If I waited to make a decision until I was 100% sure, I would still be standing in the middle of a toy aisle trying to decide which Barbie to get.
A Day to Celebrate
In a time when so much strife and division seems to be surrounding this country, the world, it is sometimes difficult to understand what there is to celebrate…
New Perspective
Change can be scary, it’s a step into the unknown, but it is necessary, even good, for it allows us to grow. It allows us to look at the world through a new window.
Unmasking the World
Just as an individual may choose to wear a jacket or jeans in the summer, so might one chose to wear their mask after the requirement is lifted. Let us be supportive and kind to one another as this crazy wold continues to change and evolve. Nobody shames Batman for wearing his mask after all.
It’s Not Just Writer’s Block
You have to like what you are writing before anyone else can. Forget the grade, the publisher, the stats and just write because you love to write. Stephen King's advice, however, doesn't just apply to writing, it applies to life.
