Everyone wants to know what the can do to keep safe in light of the present coronavirus outbreak. The main emphasis is on hand washing which everyone must do frequently. However in addition to hand washing I would suggest if you have to venture out into the public, on returning home you should wash your face as well and use a rag to clean your nostrils. This may sound a little extreme but remember the portal of entry for the virus is through the eyes, nose and mouth so it would make sense to pay attention to those areas too. Keep safe everyone.
Coronavirus Pandemic
As the threat of Coronavirus become more evident people are engaging in panic buying stocking on commodities from food to household cleaning items.
Uncertainty is part of the reason for this increased shopping. I can understand people wanting to make sure they have enough food supply in case they have to quarantine. What I cannot understand is the unnecessary shopping for toilet paper. What is the link between toilet paper and the virus. I saw one incident where one individual whi had a trolley full of cases of toilet paying engaged in a fight with anothet individual who just wanted one case. Can toilet paper cure the virus? This is so confusing. The bottom line is we all need to think of each other.
Goodbyes are Never Easy
I wrote the poem a while back. I came across it just now and thought I would share with you.
Goodbye
The cool crisp air was as salty as her tears
The waves came in, washing away the sand
from under her feet, and taking with it her dreams.
Deep shadows formed as the sun whispered goodbye.
The tears dried up slowly, yet her eyes would not smile
Deep pools of darkness equates the sadness in her eyes
It is over the night wind whispered
It is over the sea gulls cried
It is over the waves echoed
It is time to say goodbye.
A Tip for New Writers
As a writer it is important to value your craft and take pride in your work. Along with proper grammar and punctuation, correct formatting is also important to make your book readable. I once had a fellow writer who was promoting her book on Face Book. I went on Amazon to check it out and realized it had no proper formatting. Sentences ran into each other with no separation or paragraphs. It was unreadable. I reached out to the person via private message relaying what I had discovered and was shocked when the individual acknowledged that she was aware of it. I found it mind-boggling that someone would promote a book knowing it was next to impossible to read. Weeks later when I checked back it remained the same.
There is no point in publishing a book if no one can read it. Do not make that mistake. Good luck and happy writing.
Does your Zodiac Sign Determine Your True Character
Many people will argue that your zodiac sign can tell a lot about your character. If you are of a particular sign you are expected to behave in a certain manner because that is how people in your sign usually are. Do you believe this? I don’t believe it applies to everyone. For example I am a Gemini and our sitting president is a Gemini, but I am nothing like him, ha ha.
I suppose the conclusion one can make is that persons of a particular zodiac sign may share some characteristics but not necessarily all of them. What do you think?
International Women’s Day
Throughout history women have had to fight and claw their way to get recognition in a male dominated world. This is not because women are not good enough, not educated, talented, or as hardworking as her male counterpart. However the stereotype that governs society dictates that she is the weaker sex and she is treated accordingly.
This is of course nothing short of a joke, if we allow our conscious minds to meander down the path of the life of a woman. Can you imagine men dealing with monthly period, the discomfort, pain and mood swings that go along with it? Can you picture a man pregnant and walking around with another human life growing inside of him for nine months, experiencing the throes of labor and giving birth? Some men are so squeamish they would drop like a fly at the sight of blood. So let us be clear women are important and play a vital role in society not only as mother and a wife but as unique human beings.
Today let us celebrate the women of the world. Happy International Women’s Day!
Book Review
Today I will review Blood and justice by Rayven T. Hill. This book is a Murder/ Mystery. Overall, I give it a 4 star.
The story is about a sixteen-year-old girl who goes missing. Her mother hires a couple who are private detectives to find her. It appears as if the police were not doing as much as they could to find her and were comfortable with this couple do their own investigation.
Soon after Jenny goes missing there is a series of murders, which grabs everyone’s attention. A serial killer is on a mission to rid the town of anyone he sees stealing. In his crazed mind he considers murdering them justice. When Jenny’s boyfriend is identified as one of the victims, fear increases that she might not be alive. The big question was who was committing the murders, and why. Was there a connection between them and Jenny’s disappearance. The killer turns out to be a seemingly harmless man who worked at the local grocery store. As a child someone had broken into Jeremy’s house. His father had shot the intruder dead but went to prison for manslaughter. Now he hates all thieves. Did he kill Jenny too? You will have to read the book to find our.
The pace of the story was slow but it was an interesting read. Some might not consider it a mystery since the reader knew who the killer was from the beginning. So, the only mystery was whether he would kill Jenny or set her free which I suppose was a mystery.
A Writer’s Dream
It is the dream of every writer to. write a book that readers find hard to put down. You want to create that work of art that everyone wants to read. It is possible. Just put your heart and soul into your writing and your hard work will pay off. Good luck and happy writing.

As more and more people become infected with corona virus it is important to take every necessary measure to stay safe. One should note that wearing a face mask is not enough to prevent the spread of the virus so do not become complacent. Practice hand washing and use hand sanitizer if hand washing is not possible.
Most people spend a lot of time on there phones so it is important that you sanitize those phones as well. Avoid touching public surfaces where necessary. Educate yourself on the symptoms of corona. We all have to do our part to keep safe.
