Not Everyone Will Like You

Yep. It's true— at times, a hard pill to swallow.
Not everyone will like you. Not everyone will support you. Not everyone will applaud you.
Nope. It won't happen.
And it is perfectly okay.
You cannot make people like you.
You can be kind and courteous. Yet I afraid to stand up for yourself. 
Always strive to be supportive of others and applaud them, but remember the courtesy may not be returned in favor.

Over the past year, there have been many firsts... holding my published children's book in my hands for the first time, attending my first bookstore author events, first library events, visiting elementary schools as an official author for the first time, reading my book to children across North Carolina, and the list goes on.
The opportunity to share my children's travel and adventure picture book has been a priceless gift to me.

Ghost Tales of North Carolina

North Carolina is filled with ghost stories stemming from the shores of the Graveyard of the Atlantic down to the southern coast in Wilmington, up the Cape Fear River to the Sandhills in Fayetteville, and westward to the Blue Ridge Mountains.
I've loved hearing these tales my whole life and have a collection of classic North Carolina ghost stories and legends books I cherish.
My love of ghost tales started as a child while listening to old folks, cousins and friends whittle yarns of things that go bump in the night.
I'm not much on horror films and gore, but I love a good old ghost story. So I decided today on Halloween 🎃, I would tell you all a few of my favorite ghost stories.
