Excerpt:
There
are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects
it. – Edith Wharton
Are you
spreading the Light in your corner of the world?
I live in an old neighborhood in my town.
The houses and buildings are established with trees towering over the streets.
I love it!
As someone who walks every day, I run into
a lot of elderly people. Many of them smile and are friendly. I stop and chat
with them for a moment or two.
Why?
It makes their day and it's my way of
spreading the Light. It doesn't take any effort on my part and their faces
light up.
Want to make someone's day? Stop what
you're doing for one second and say hello. Acknowledging another person and
wishing them a good day is a great way of spreading the Light inside you.
There are
two ways of spreading light: to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects
it.
Author Biography:
Mrs. N. has been creating stories ever since she was little. Her grandfather remembers when she was two years old, she would stand at the top of the stairs and tell him a story filled with emotion (and in a language foreign to him) with her hands on her hips. Let’s just say she was a born storyteller.
They’re blissfully happy and loves all things chocolate, books, music, movies, art, sports, trains, history, cooking and baking. Their mantra is to spread the Light.
Most of the time you can find them on Twitter or getting new ideas on how to spread the Light on Pinterest. They’re a proud member of ASMSG and Independent Author Network.
In addition to being authors, they’re also book promoters/reviewers, social media marketers/influencers and the owners of N. N. Light Author Promotions. They both love books, have ever since they were young. Matching up books and readers is something that gives them great pleasure.
