So how do you like my new revamp blog?

I’m digging it and will probably play around with it later.

Why would I change my blog?

I’m moving into a totally different direction in my life that’ll eventually have to do with writing, travel, and adventure.

Eventually.

This is a year or so plan in the making.

What’s the plan?

The hubster and I bought this RV A.K.A. Aesop, last September.

Once the weather warms up, we’re going to renovate it and make it our own.

Here’s what it looks like inside right now.

It’s the total Vegas look.

Gag.

We’re going to rip up that nasty carpet, put down like a barn wood flooring, get rid of the blue velvet and brass and paint the cabinets among other things.

We’re going to document the whole renovation, so I’ll share it with you.

What’s the plan?

The hubster and I are going to travel the U.S. in our RV and be digital nomads. We’ll be creating a documentary about our adventures/travel, and I’ll continue to write as well as put other social media content out.

I just opened an Etsy store called: DARETOLIVESHOP. It’s another way to hopefully bring in some extra cash to help fund our documentary. Right now, there are cool inspirational t-shirts to buy. I’m still working on putting other products in my shop, and I’m having fun doing it. Here’s the link if you want to check it outà https://www.etsy.com/shop/DARETOLIVESHOP?ref=search_shop_redirect

It’s also on one of the tabs above.

Anyway, that’s my crazy plan—travel the US as a digital nomad in my RV and living off grid—and I'm so happy and excited about it.

I’ll be doing an update on my current writing in progress soon.

Cheers!

Hi Everyone.

2018 is a year of change for me.

Big change.

But believe it or not, there will be even bigger changes for me in the future.

Life-changing.

#futureplansinthemaking

I’m going to keep this post short, so if you want to know more along the way, keep checking back.

One of the changes is going to be this blog. I love Blogger and I love the way my site looks. It’s so cute.

Love it!

However, the life-changing events in my life demands for me to revamp this blog, therefore, in the near future it’ll be under construction. Once it’s done, I think we’ll all love it . . . or must of us. We can’t please everyone, right? I can see in my head how I want it. Now it’s a matter of putting that same picture into the web designer’s head. But it’s going to be a mixture of my books/writing/travel/adventure/inspiration

So that’s one change out of many in my life that will occur this year, and I thought I’d tell you that one straight up since you visit my blog and you’re awesome. J

I don’t know if you've noticed but my rebekkahford.com link I had redirected to here. So now this blog has two links.

Why did I get rid of my Wordpress landing page for my books and had the URL redirected to Wandering Thoughts of a Writer?

Honestly, Wordpress is a pain in my ass. I’ve had it for a few years and from the start, I’ve had nothing but technical problems, and I’m not techy. I wish I had the techy brain for it, but I don’t. So I kicked Wordpress to the curb.

Anyway, once the new and improved blog is live, I’ll share with you the decision the hubster and I made that’s going to change our lives and leave some people scratching their heads.

Hey, Everyone!

I have some major things going on in my world—life-changing events.

Seriously.

On the book side of it. The rough draft of Legends of Deceit book two is more than halfway done. I should have a title for it any time now, then my cover artist and I will be working on a cover.

Do you love cats or know someone who does? If so, check out my Cat’s Corner collection hereà https://www.sunfrog.com/RebekkahFord/Cat's%20Corner

This is one of many T-shirt collections I’m creating and soon I’ll have my own designs and store, so stay tuned.

This is all part of my life-changing plans.

Baby steps.

Do you want to know what it is?

Okay, I’m going to spill the beans as they used to say. Remember though, this is going to take time. It’s a 2-year plan—hopefully, less. And if you want to take the journey with me, I’ll give you the link to my new website once everything is up and running.

1.) I’m going to open up my own online store.

2.) I’m going to continue writing books AND start freelance writing.

3.) My husband and I are starting our own website with our own brand/trademark that we’re filing with the government so no one else can use it. So right now I’m not going to tell you what it is yet, but it’s inspirational. We’ll have our own Youtube channel and e-store--separate from my own store--on our site along with my books, of course.

4.) We're working toward a minimalistic life and let me tell you, it’s liberating. Honestly, it makes me happy. Collect memories, not things is one of my mottos.

5.) I’m eventually going to be a digital nomad which is very exciting. I can't wait.

What the hell is a digital nomad?

Basically, we’re going to live full-time in our class A RV and go on adventures in the United States. I’ll be working remotely (digital nomad) on my laptop. So we’re still paying our way. We’re going to do a documentary of the whole thing among other things.

See? Life changing.

I have a lot to learn, you guys. That’s what I have been doing lately, besides writing my next book.

So now you know.

Once I get our website up and things into place, I’ll post the link here and give you more information on what’s going on and how we’re doing it. I hope you’ll follow us and on our nomadic journey and my books as well.

Cheers!

Fading Memories

by A.M. Willard

Cover Reveal

Contemporary Inspirational Romance

Goodreads | Amazon

Synopsis

Isabel Nichols’s life changed in more ways than one through the years. As a young child, she experienced a loss that devastated her. It wasn’t until she was an adult that the universe around her shattered. In a twenty-four-hour time frame, she lost what she’d thought was her world. What followed was a year of mourning, a year of grieving, a year of darkness. Now, there’s one man who can show her the light.

Dakota Jackson left his life behind on a whim, moving to a beach cottage away from the big city where he grew up. He sees through Izzie’s clouds as he gets to know her, with the drive to be everything that she’s ever needed. The only problem is, Dakota holds the key to a secret that could ruin both of their hopes and dreams.

Passion isn’t always enough to heal a broken heart; love isn’t always enough to guide you through the darkness.

This is about two souls that were meant to be together from the day they were born. Two people who have to figure out a way to look past the memories. It’s the now; it’s living your life as you’re meant to, loving the one your heart craves. It’s about letting go of the grieving, learning to be who you are, and accepting life for what it is.

Can love cure all things despite its hardships?

August 12,2015

I've always wanted to be a writer. I started reading James Patterson's books, and he was the one who made me want to be a writer like him. After that, I was writing every day. I never knew my dream would come true. I'm a memoir writer with my second memoir published. It's a very inspiring story about never giving up on your dreams. I'm working on my third memoir now called Miracle Baby, about my baby growing up.
