Is there anyone there?

[Anhelyna]

I had an email from Anjelica later on this morning. She'd been seen by her new Doctor - various prescriptions given and a follow up appointment made.

She was much happier after that. Is actually very busy sorting out some of her limericks to include them in a book

Thanks be to God!

The fact still remains, however , none of her medical problems are curable - she is going blind - that is only a matter of time. Her heart and probably other organs as well have been affected by the chemo - and if any improvement can be made there it will be very slight.

 

[anjelica]

Evenin' all LOL
Yes, as Anhelyna told you, I got what I needed from my new doctor.

Additionally, after having a bit of a low afternoon regarding going blind, because I LOVE God's Creation, i received a lovely phone call just now from someone in my writibg group. It was an amazing conversation. God is indeed with me, and she has repeted what some others have said. I. Am so happy that God is ysing my sufferings to help others. I wanted to throw in the towel this afternoon!

 

[anjelica]

Thankyou Anhelyna.
And thankyou so mych Michie for your faithful and continuedrayers and support. Hugs.

 

[Anhelyna]

Anjelica - I know what you mean about throwing in the towel

As you know I'm having a really bad patch just now , but then I look at you and say - why am I moaning - I can still drive my car , my vision is OK, I'm reasonably fit and well [ apart from OA ] - there's no good reason for me to moan about my lot

 

[anjelica]

Bless you Anhelyna. Thanjyou. It doesn't make your own circumstances any the less difficult or challenging though. But thankyou for what you have said.

I used to cry a lot because I felt that like I am now, my lufe was valueless. But it is not. I have to keep remembering that when I go down.

 

[Anhelyna]

Now get a wiggle on and get that kiddies book underway - I'll post the cover pic here if you keep on blethering and then folk will run away with the screaming heeby jeebies

 

[anjelica]

LOL Anhelyna. Nyou can post it if you like. Nfor anyone who is interested in knowing the title, it is "Oops and Whoops."

[Anhelyna]

And there's NO WAY I can post the book cover after that beautiful offering from Winter

 

[anjelica]

Oh WOW Winter. How did you KNOW?

My second book of poetry called 'Songs of Hope" has a white dove on its cover. WOW

Really? I had no idea! That's amazing!

 

[anjelica]

Yes Winter. The pucture is very similar to that one but it is a dove carrying an olive branch.

 

[Anhelyna]

Anjelica has not had the best of days today

Someone , who she thought was a good friend - they supported each other through good and bad times - but somehow the relationship has broken down

She could do with a few more prayers and some virtual hugs

 

[benedictaoo]

Thinking of her...

Just been sent this poem by Anjelica

I give You my eyes


Lord, I give to You this night my sight

I yield to You all that You gave to me

I give to You my eyes that see the light.



Although there are the times I want to fight

I know there are some things that have to be

Lord, I give to You this night my sight.



I know Your will will always be what's right

Only in accepting it will I be free

I give to You my eyes that see the light.



Sometimes the darkness shines with light so bright

Your glory then is all that I can see

Lord, I give to You this night my sight.



All my fear this night was put to flight

All must happen by Your own decree

I give to You my eyes that see the light



Angels sing this night up in the height

To this Mysterious Being One in Three

Lord, I give to You this night my sight

I give to You my eyes that see the light.

Self-publishing is easy here in the states, Angelica. Through CreateSpace you can set your book up as "print on demand." That means you don't have to order a large number of books that you might never sell, or spend thousands of dollars for a first printing.

You need to set the book up in pdf format, and set up the cover (using a template or designing your own). If your inside pages are black and white you can put in lots of black and white photos or drawings as well.

I have published several books on CreateSpace for my employer and our cost per book was only about $3. And if you only sell 200 books, or 100 books, or 50 books, or 10 books, you only pay for the ones that are published.

Your book is also listed on Amazon.

If you need help setting your book up, I can help you. I generally use InDesign for the set up and export it as a pdf.

Thankyou Fantine. That all sounds far too complucated for me. My silly brain won't take it in! I do orint my own books and have done two so far. They have gone far and wude. I need t ve led by God in this, so let me think and oray on it Fantine. I give all the money I make to the Lymphoma Assiciation in the UK and have made a lit so dar. Many go for gifts too, and I jyst let God lead it all.
