Yesterday I attended a book signing at my local library.  I met many local authors.  The mayor even showed up  at the book signing. The library also provided lunch for all the authors.  The event inspired me hugely since today is world book day.

FRIENDSHIP FRIDAY

Question of the week

What is your biggest blogging goal?

My biggest goal is to learn more about SEO. I  have a lot to learn.  I want to reach my target audience because  I want to make my trilingual books available to as many young children as possible.

Inspire Me Monday Blog Hop

Since coming across Create with Joy website, I have been hugely blessed each and every week.  I can't quite explain it, all I know is I so look forward to participating each week .  Reading the  different posts and blogs bring a serenity to my soul like none other.  I truly believe  all the participating bloggers that are part of this website are Godly inspired.  Thank you to all for bringing peace and joy to my overly stressed life.  I teach high school French and Spanish and much to my dismay I have 39 students in one class period.  I think I earn my salary by teaching that one class each day.  It is a very difficult situation, but with God's help I will survive.

Thank you dear friends  I am closing with a poem I wrote a while back but I think it represents my true sentiment  of what I think of  Create With Joy.

THERE IS A PLACE... There is a place I know of that will make you forget all of your woes , come, I invite you , grab your things let’s stroll leisurely along the seashore where you can forgo of all your worries There is a place I know of that will make your dreams come true ,all you have to do is wish away There is a place I know of that will turn any heavy burdened heart into a carefree   one, won’t you please join me just for a moment? There is a place I know of that will embrace you with open arms and will nourish your soul with  much needed love and tenderness There is a place I know of that will force you to remember that you are very special and unique and the world would not be the same without you in it There is a place I know of that will help you see how much you are needed, for my life is now complete because you are here with me where we can learn and grow together THERE IS A PLACE…

FRIENDSHIP FRIDAY

I am extremely blessed with my youngest son Luc.  He made the honor roll this semester. I am inspired to continue to love him unconditionally and to do what I am supposed to do as a parent.   I do not always like getting on his case about doing well in school, but I am thankful he is finally making wise decisions .    Here is a poem I wrote, hope you too will be inspired to love your child with the love of God and help him/her to be the best he/she can be.  Have a great week!

A mother's desire for her children.

Son, daughter I shall be to you what the marrow is to your bones I will nourish you with my love for I wish you length of life. son ,daughter till you are twenty and one I will pray to God that day by day your steps may he guide. son, daughter may in my absence wisdom becomes your best friend for common sense will keep you out of harm's way Son, daughter though sometimes you will heed the advice of fools I know you will indeed find ways to succeed Son, daughter never, ever give up for wherever life's journey takes you, I will remain by your side forever and ever

MY TRUE TREASURES-WORDLESS WEDNESDAY BLOG HOP

I will keep this short and sweet, I love my three children!  Thank you lord for blessing me with them.  I took this picture just before my oldest  left to return back to Chicago.  It is always nice when he comes home for the holidays.

INSPIRE ME MONDAY BLOG HOP

 This week I am hugely inspired by God's eternal mercy upon my life.  I have a wonderful husband, three wonderful children and a great job.   I am inspired to keep God first always, because if it were not for him I would not  be here.  Thank you Lord for your mercy and grace.  I  was born in country where the majority of the people believe in vodoo. I am hugely blessed God called me out and spared my life .  I pray daily for my fellow  Haitians who do not worship the true God.   Here's a poem  I wrote to honor my one true God:

THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE Today, Lord and Savior I come to drink from your fountain my heart and soul are parched and all dried up thank you Lord for letting me drink until I am full no other drink will do, for I know with you I shall thirst no more, how blessed I am that you have granted me my wish Oh! Dearest savior I do have one more request  I ask for you to keep close to your heart and thoughts those who have not yet tasted of your divine water of life I ask that they too can one day have the same desire to come savor your fountain of life for them , my Lord and Savior I pray AMEN, AMEN, AMEN

FRIENDSHIP FRIDAY

 Last Monday I came across a wonderful blog, today I joined the Friendship Friday blog hop.  The question of the week:  How did you come up with your blog's name?  I named my three blogs so bloggers would know what the blogs are about.  I am an author of four published books, it makes sense for me to use the name of each book as the title of the blogs.   Here are the names of my three blogs:  My Sister Is My Best Friend, Marie and Her Friend the Sea Turtle and  Remembering Nine Eleven.  Join me in making new friends!
