Had anyone told me that I could retire from my job a year ago, I would have asked them what they put in their coffee, and could I have some? With downsizing my home and getting my finances in order I was able to leave the corporate world and start living instead of existing. This guide shows you how I did it and should give you tips on starting the next chapter in your life. Also included is my book: Two Hours of Baby Sitting plus Cupcake class for $15, How I started my cake business and made $50.00 the first day. For more information see my website: LynnDavisCakes.com

Each year I put together many bake sales to raise funds for the local homeless shelter and other local charities. This is a great way to get involved in the communities. The past five years we have provided some spook treats and a lot of Halloween fun. This last year I decided to include some craft items. This was a great success. Not only did we increase amount we were able to donate but it was a great morale booster. Bake/craft sales are a lot of work but well worth the effort. For more cakes, cupcakes, candy and craft projects see my blog LynnDavisCakes.com.

Lock had a dirty little secret, he was adding Human Growth Hormone to accelerate the growth of his bait fish. The black-market dealer who sold to Mr. Lock, also was using the Human Growth Hormone to make a drug that with a drop or two you could get drunk. He gave out samples at the last football game.

A Southern University campus. A Ghost. Two boys. Thousands of dollars in University equipment. What could possibly go wrong?

When I moved into my house everything was great except, the previous owner had red and gray stepping stones and red lava rock everywhere. I decided that the stepping stones needed more color so I went on Amazon and order 100 Mexican tiles. I had so much fun with the stepping stones, I wanted to do more. Seven months later, 450 Mexican tiles, countless tubes of Liquid Nails and tons of glass accent pieces, I finished my little project which I photographed for this book. I hope you find this helpful and have as much fun as I had transforming my yard.

"The Outcast"The Outcast is about living our everyday lives in pursuit of happiness--but always in the wrong places. Jennica, the main character, is a self-loathing and absorbed teenager, who sees the wrong doings of others. She is in pursuit of the acceptance of others even when she failed to accept herself. She narrates every aspect of her life in a matter-of-fact way to show her innocence. At the end of the novel, she comes to the realization that she was not an outcast as she believed. She finally settled into a life of bliss because of her acceptance of who she truly was -- "one chosen by God."Jennica uses wide-ranging quotations to represent the author's use of them as personal mantra. It also represents the life of Christ as an outcast on earth, yet a representative of God--a clear indication of our need to be accepted by people, but lacking heaven's backing.

Once upon a simpler time, a child's fun included an intense interaction within its environment, whether on a bus to a beach, swimming lessons in a city pool, or working tobacco fields. Interaction was also between machinery and the processes that made things function such as an icebox, iron furnace, clothesline, or oil jug. She writes of a time before technology took over and computers did all the work. The author recreates with her narrative and photographs a nostalgic reminiscence of those earlier decades for all who grew up in them and introduces the times to those who didn't. She recalls the years when life and living was hands on, when youngsters played and worked hard being part of life's assembly line. Today's children can switch on or plug in to make things function, but the fun is gone and with it, the knowledge of how things work.
