Did you ever want to swim with the fish? Of course you haven't, because you're free. Your life is so much different from mine. You see a sea of water, an ocean of freedom, a boundless expanse. You have no concept of life in a cage, where one can't see all this. But when you crave freedom, you dream, of submerging into the sea and swimming with the multicolored fish. The waves carry you, washing away the pain, and you are in no danger of drowing because of the great levity in your body, The pain in your soul drags you down, but the waves take that pain away. Do you realize how easy it is to drown when soul pain drags down your body? You have come into my life and washed away the soul pain without me submerging into the sea. If you could only grasp the angs of my soul, fearful that the waves of the Black Sea will carry you to distant lands without me! How could i live without you when I see your face all the time, and my heart is brimming with you?! Do you belive in love from the first sight? I am the living proof that it exsists. Have you ever wanted to kiss me? Sometimes when I'm sitting with my friends, drinking wine and getting lightheaded, my heart would suddenly open like a flower bud, and my lips would ache for the touch of your lips to spark the flame of love. That flame was blazing in my heart, but there were no lips to sear me with love. My lips were waiting for you so long, till the long road led you to me. Kiss me now, and fill my soul with the vitalizing touch of your lips, the scorching breath of your heart yearning to possess me!
The pandemic affects everyone, I know it is not easy to have lost someone dear to us, or our dream job, or our chance for education. There is a need to take better care of our spirit and mental health. And that is why I start writing this book.

Prolonged turmoil in family lives, social lives and financial stress will have long term damage to our mental health. But if we address these issues timely, we still have a chance to stop turning a season of mourning into a lifetime of grief.
I am lucky to be born as a millennial. So, like my peers, the society label me as such, and as usual, I rebel such labels as most millennials did.
Until, when I met my fiancé, and spent time in knowing his family, I get to understand more about the silent generations and the baby-boomers. Then, by comparison, I realize that the 'characteristics' of millennials, as described by the internet, are somewhat authentic.
In January 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic begins, I predicted this event would come to an end within several months, like most of the world's population did. These miscalculations did cost me a lot. Borders between nations were closed, and my life was stuck here for two years, without any option and ability to move forward, and financial stress starts to become overwhelmed.
I never did imagine that one day I would become an author. It was the pandemic, this special situation that left me no choice but to pursuit a completely new career path, and thus, I chose to start writing books. The next question is, what topics to write?
Hence, I start writing about self help books. I think humanity as a whole has experienced something unique in our time of history, and such traumatic experience will take up several years even after the pandemic has past, to recover.
When I am writing this book, there is news that Pfizer is applying urgent approval for the Covid-19 pills, and the company has plans to overt the chemical formula of the drug for others to mass produce. That is a noble move. I hope this is it for the pandemic.
In any time and situation, being optimistic is the best choice. We cannot control the outside world; all we have control is ourselves. The danger and chaos are real. But being optimistic or pessimistic, is simply a choice that we have free will to make. This is what I learnt from my fiancé, during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
I hope this would help you to get through any tough situations.
Why Our Homes Are Full of Stuffs That We Don’t Need: A Look at Materialism and Our Spiritual Well-Being
We all want our homes to be comfortable, inviting and clutter-free, but often, our homes are overrun with senseless objects bought on impulse or without a true purpose. Why Our Homes Are Full of Stuffs that We Don’t Need takes a deeper look at why we fill our homes with useless clutter and how this affects our spiritual well-being.
The book explains that the cluttered and chaotic homes we live in is a direct symptom of materialism running rampant in our society today. We are always looking for ways to buy more things, whether it be with the latest trends, marketing campaigns, or just playing into our own sense of insecurity. In extreme cases, some people accumulate so much stuff that their homes become cramped, cramped and health- hazgered, deteriorating their mental and physical health.
The book goes on to explore why materialism does not make us happy. Although retail therapy might offer temporary relief, it can quickly lead to guilt and overspending, creating a cycle of unhappiness. As we seek validation in things that don’t provide any true fulfillment, we become disconnected from our life’s mission and from a spiritual perspective.
The book illuminates how reorganizing our home and giving ourselves permission to part with the things we don't need can help restore balance to our lives. It explains that taking control of the clutter around us can be beneficial for our mental health and for our spiritual journey.
Should you choose to read this book, you can expect to learn about how your home can become a sanctuary of peace and why materialism will not make us happy. You will be provided with a roadmap of reorganizing your home to create a more balanced living environment and reap the rewards of spiritual well-being.

Lynne Renoir was born into a fundamentalist Christian family where the Bible was the central focus. She was not allowed to make mistakes or to challenge her father’s opinions. Such behavior, in his view, was the work of Satan. As God’s representative in the family, her father believed it was his duty to belt the devil out of his daughter, and he did so regularly and severely.
When the beatings continued into her twenties, Lynne finally broke free. Convinced she was a failure as a believer, she left home, and for several decades she endeavored to live by the tenets of the faith in which she had been raised.
Then when she was fifty, Lynne had an amazing experience of communication with beings in the spirit world. Under their guidance she completed a Master’s degree in Psychology and a PhD in Philosophy. She then investigated quantum theory and mysticism, coming to the conclusion that everything in the universe is one. This led her to question the idea of an external, all-powerful being who sits in judgment on his creatures.
For Lynne, the experience of realizing the oneness of all reality has been life transforming. In sharing her fascinating journey from religious indoctrination to spiritual freedom, she reveals a way to those who are seeking to find their own pathway to liberation.
"With a goodhearted serpent, a benevolent goddess, and a flawed but determined hero, Loukas and the Game of Chance offers excitement, magic, and, most of all, hope that it is never too late to make things right."
- Vivian Turnbull, Foreword Reviews
While Loukas is playing his flute at the seawall one day, he befriends a mysterious talking, dancing snake that rewards him with fortune and favor. Some years later, tempted by greed and pride, Loukas loses all his riches and his family. He must now set off on a treacherous journey through a frightening forest filled with suspense and strange creatures to find Destiny, her son Ilion, the Sun, and her daughter Luna, the Moon. These celestial guardians will surely allow him to reverse his misfortune, restore his honor, and win back all that he loves and treasures, won't they?
A reimagined Greek folktale, Loukas and the Game of Chance is illuminated with dramatic and evocative pen and ink drawings that provide an ideal backdrop for the dark intrigue that fills this haunting story of human struggle, courage, and resilience.
