Just looking back on when I started writing, it is truly amazing. I remember my first paper, entitled “Encouragement.” I remember trying to bring a group together, which I called Networking Friends Network. That is when I thought of instead of just having a regular flyer, I thought of the idea of inspiring people, with positive thoughts on my flyer. After that point on, I continued to write encouraging papers. I noticed the papers started to increase to the point that I decided to create a book of my writings, called A Little Bit of My Every Thought. I am truly happy at the response that I have received from people. Mrs. Martha Parker, a wonderful person and close family friend told me that my writing made her look at her own life differently. I plan to continue inspiring and motivating people. I believe that life should be as pleasant as possible despite life’s challenges. One way that people can be happy is by helping others. Remember, it is always more blessed to give than to receive.
