Monday Motivation

52 Inspirational quotes to start your week right

Message from DC Gomez:

I’m doing a happy dance! After months of studying, analyzing and planning, I did it. I hit the launch button and my first Kickstarter campaign was successful.  Monday Motivation is going to market on November 11th and I cannot wait to embrace this and share this project with the world. I can’t believe it. OMG!

Monday Motivation is a beautiful coffee-table book of 52 motivational quotes and reflections (like our Monday Motivations) that you can enjoy anytime and I want to thank everyone helped who helped contribute to my kickstarter and advocate for this project.  There were so many individuals who believed in this project and I thank each and every one of you for the support and contributions from an emotional, mental, and financial aspect.  

Finally, I also want to thank my fans and readers for their support of me because without each of you, I would not be here as a successful author or a USA Today Bestseller. Monday Motivation was written and created with all of you in mind and I hope that everyone will not only enjoy it but advocate for it and truly live for the principles within the pages!  

Mondays can be tough!

On By authoranthonyavinablogIn reviewsLeave a comment

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

Author Sajdah R. Nubee gives readers a beautiful and heartfelt journal to reflect on life’s journey and uses inspirational quotes and scripture from the Islamic Faith to help journal writers everywhere in the book “Today, I Choose Gratitude: Spiritual Gratitude Journal With Verses from The Holy Qur’an”.

The Synopsis

Created especially for Muslim brothers and sisters, Today, I Choose Gratitude gives Muslims of all ages a beautiful space to reflect on Allah’s words and develop deep gratefulness.

Given the fast pace of day-to-day life, it’s often difficult to take a moment to reflect and find the beauty in everyday moments. Author Sajdah R. Nubee’s striking journal poses gratefulness-inspired quotes from the Qur’an and other Islamic scripture as prompts for readers to reflect with. Included in the journal, you’ll find prompts about:

● Success.

● Faith and Mercy.

● Trusting Allah.

● Safety and security.

● …and more!

Today, I Choose Gratitude is lined and undated with 100 prompts, allowing for reflective writing that fits into your routine seamlessly. Readers can build a daily habit with the book, or take advantage of it when they recognize they need a moment to relax, reflect, and recenter. Each prompt differs slightly to help you focus on shifting pieces of life and the world-and how to be grateful for each.

Readers of this book will notice a difference in their heart after several days of journaling, and may even start daily gratefulness reflections once they start a routine.

While the journal is perfect for Muslims of all ages and genders, Today, I Choose Gratitude makes a wonderful gift for anyone interested in religious or spiritual motivation.

The Review

This was a simple yet powerful journal. The author was able to find the right balance of giving journal writers enough space to take account of their own lives and daily experiences while also infusing the author’s spirituality and faith into the prompts and inspirational quotes found within the book. The insight that readers gain from those quotes will stay with them as time goes on.

This was a fast-paced yet interactive and heartfelt journal to take hold of. The lovely artwork and design that the book utilizes and the emphasis the journal puts on guiding writers to find the gratitude for everyday life that we sometimes lack due to forces both within and outside of our control made this a truly memorable journaling experience.

The Verdict

Memorable, heartfelt, and engaging, author Sajdah R. Nubee’s “Today, I Choose Gratitude: Spiritual Gratitude Journal With Verses from The Holy Qur’an” is a must-read and must-write-in journal for both Islamic faith writers and those seeking to find the gratitude in life. The passion and insight the author provides in the pages of this journal will become both memorable and heartening to the readers as they push further and further into their journaling.

When Grace Found Me: Real Life Stories of Women of Faith Volume 1 by Kim Lengling Review

On By authoranthonyavinablogIn reviews2 Comments

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

Author Kim Lengling helps readers seek inspiration from powerful stories of women of faith in the book “When Grace Found Me Volume 1”. 

Advertisements

The Synopsis

With the turn of each page, you will find words of encouragement, hope and God’s grace living within the twenty women who share their personal testimonies within this book. Through faith, perseverance, overcoming fear, anxiety and loss, the women who have shared their stories realize that God has been with them every step of the way. When Grace Found Me is a book for anyone who may be seeking a reminder of God’s unending love for us.

The Review

This was an inspiring and heartfelt read. The author really dug deep into a wellspring of emotions and personal experiences to touch upon the stories of these powerful women who became resilient enough to trust in themselves and their beliefs to overcome great odds. The honesty and conviction with which the author wrote and brought these stories to life was moving to say the least and did a great job of utilizing imagery and tone to elevate each story to the platform they deserved.

While I myself am not a particularly religious person, any time a person can overcome something in their lives, be it a tragedy, grief, or any sort of hardship, the means by which they do it matter little to me, but instead the journey and process they took to get to that place is what truly matters. I found these stories to be quite moving, and readers of faith will, in particular, connect to the authors writing as this short yet powerful read paints a vivid image of what happens when a person puts their strength and faith into an idea or belief system. 

The Verdict

Motivating, engaging, and thoughtful, author Kim Lengling’s “When Grace Found Me Volume 1” is a must-read nonfiction inspiration collection of stories. The heart and passion of the author’s writing when coupled with the moving stories of these strong women overcoming lifelong and daily life experiences created a truly strong and emotional reading experience readers won’t be able to put down. Be sure to grab your copy today!

The Importance of Dreaming

On By authoranthonyavinablogIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

OK ladies and gents, its time for some life lessons. Today I wanted to talk about the importance of having dreams. I don’t mean the dreams you have when you are asleep. I’m talking about dreaming about the future. I’m talking about hope.

As I strive to achieve my goals of becoming a writer that can earn a sustainable living doing so, I think about the things I want to do in the future and use that as a means of motivation. It can be trivial things, like I dream of having year-long passes to Universal Studios and Disneyland. I dream about owning a PS4 and Xbox One. I dream about being able to go out on weekends to hang out with people.

It can be big things too. I dream about moving to my own place either in or near Los Angeles. I dream of having my books adapted into another medium, like a web series, television, or even a film or video game. I dream of finding love. I dream of meeting that special someone, and falling in love, finding that one person that gets you completely and understands what kind of person you are.

Whether your dreams are big or small in the grand scheme of things, they are all equally important, because dreams are what keep us going. They give us the drive to go forward in life. They help keep us motivated and strong. Dreams are a vital part of what makes us human, for dreams are what keeps hope alive, and hope is what keeps us going every day. So don’t forget guys, no matter what it is, always keep your dreams at the forefront of your mind.

What is the importance of dreams to you?
