A Day to Celebrate
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.

Wash Your Attitude

From Dormant Ground Springs Flowers
While winter presses on, and the apathetic mood might hang about a bit longer, I have faith that like a daffodil, wonderful things are happening even in the coldest ground
What do you know?
We are not alone with our feelings, imperfections, and struggles and that alone makes us all the same. Disease, love, hunger, hope, death....none of it distinguishes between religions, skin color, gender, education, jobs....and neither should we.
2020, a Year to Remember
When you reflect on 2020, think long and hard over the entirety of it and not just one aspect.
A Different Kind of Christmas
Thanksgiving was tricky for some, but Christmas is so riddled with traditions, that to break from them rattles the senses and foundations to which we have grown accustomed.
