A fun video that will brighten your day if you need to smile.

I have something fun to share with you today. I’m proud to say I did this all by myself. I hope it brings a smile to your face.

I’ve been so busy working on my latest book, among other things, I’ve felt a little overwhelmed. I realized I hadn’t been doing things I enjoy. Plus, it’s been too hot and humid.

I found this first slide on Canva and thought, “I wonder if I could create a video from this? So played around with it until I came up with this.

It fed my creative bent.

While writing is creative for me, certainly, it’s also a lot of work. It’s a solitary experience to begin with. Secondly, one feels like they’re spinning their wheels a lot. Then there’s the research. I love it all but it can be overwhelming. Changing focus helps me get back on track.

Plus, remember Distraction is a Wonderful Thing. This little phrase works for anxiety, depression, and a host of other mental plagues. I hope you enjoy this

Here it is.

Now wasn’t that fun?

God bless, and have a great weekend.

  How To Find Joy In God When Life Feels Heavy

  What does a simple life look like for you?
  Simple is different for everyone. I’m all for simplifying our lives if it makes them better. But to simplify, just so we can say we did and sound all hep and everything, is ridiculous.
