The Grass is Always Greener…
You know that old quote “The grass is always greener on the other side”?
I justlearned a new variation on it and I LOVE it.
In my last post, I mentioned that I’ve been struggling with negative comparisons—both with myself and others.
I got some really wonderful comments and emails from people sharing their struggles, insights, and more than a few encouraging words. You have no idea how much I appre

In the Days: A Tale of the Forgotten Continent
(Literature & Fiction)
1 chapters
—
updated Mar 10, 2014 08:25PM
Description:
The Empire of Atlantis: the most powerful nation in the world. Peace reigns across the continent, and an age of prosperity and enlightenment has made the Empire the center of the globe.
But, beneath the peaceful façade of life in the Imperial City, trouble is brewing. Assassins lurk in the shadows, intrigue abounds in the court of the Empress. Will political ambitions topple the House of Tah, or could the threat be one much more sinister in nature? Dark forces threaten the land, and the future of the Empire is at stake.
One man is shown a glimpse into the future--a future that could be, or the future that is destined to come?
This is the tale of the last days of the great Empire - the Empire that the world forgot. This is the story of Atlantis, in the days when it ceased to be.

Child of the Night Guild (Queen of Thieves #1):
"Book one sets the stage and it’s a heavy one, full of horrendous life situations a child should never be exposed to. On the streets , it’s about survival, and majority of the time, it’s about choosing the lesser of two evils. Be prepared, this tale i"

“The gods are nothing more than the creations of humans needing something to blame for their problems.”
― Blade of the Destroyer
― Blade of the Destroyer
“The gods are but aspects of an unknowable divine power. Humankind has given them faces and names in an attempt to understand the power, and thus we have created the gods as we now know them. What was once something vague and indefinable is now rationalized into a concept humans can grasp. In our worship of the various aspects of the gods, we have transformed those aspects into the gods themselves.”
― Blade of the Destroyer
― Blade of the Destroyer
“The simple man needs something beyond himself to blame and credit for the bad and the good. If we were to accept all the blame and credit upon ourselves, it would be more than we could bear. Looking back at the horrors perpetrated in the name of the gods, our minds would shatter. This way, with the gods, mankind has a way to ease its conscience.”
― Blade of the Destroyer
― Blade of the Destroyer
“I must point out...that now is a good time to have these gods. For if they weren't created for a time like now, when the world could very well be facing an untimely end, why would they be needed at all?”
― Blade of the Destroyer
― Blade of the Destroyer
“Priests are meant to pass on the word of the gods, minister to the poor, and provide the services offered by their temples. No one said anything about being holy. Not even the gods are truly holy.”
― Blade of the Destroyer
