"As a writer I feel as if I walk two distinct paths. On one path, I am drawn in the direction of non-fiction family pieces. I believe that if we can understand our family relationships, we can get a better understanding of who we are as individuals.

On the other path, I enjoy the creativity involved when plotting out different fictional stories. As the characters

2016 Year of Me

2016 is here and I think it should be called The Year of Me. It sounds selfish when you say it out loud, but when applied correctly, there’s nothing wrong with a little selfishness at times. Last year was the beginning of my LIVE LOVE LAUGH mindset, which taught me the importance of creating time (as opposed to finding time) for fun. It just seems like we can never find the time for something as f Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Nina Guilbeau  (?)

“Everyone keeps telling me that time heals all wounds, but no one can tell me what I’m supposed to do right now. Right now I can’t sleep. It’s right now that I can’t eat. Right now I still hear his voice and sense his presence even though I know he’s not here. Right now all I seem to do is cry. I know all about time and wounds healing, but even if I had all the time in the world, I still don’t know what to do with all this hurt right now.”
Nina Guilbeau, Too Many Sisters

“When you lose someone, you get used to living day to day without them. But you’ll never get used to the “10 second heartbreak.” That’s the time it takes to wake to full consciousness each day and remember…”
Nina Guilbeau

“As soon as you stop making everyone else responsible for your happiness, the happier you’ll be.”
Nina Guilbeau

“A sure sign of maturity is being able to accept people for who they are. You stop agonizing over changing those who don’t want to change. Because the truth is, little victories aside, that’s a superpower you don’t have. What you can do is decide what role you will allow them to play in your life. Then …you live with it.”
Nina Guilbeau

“When we get too comfortable in our routine we stop challenging ourselves. Complacency is the silent dream killer.”
Nina Guilbeau

“As soon as you stop making everyone else responsible for your happiness, the happier you’ll be.”
Nina Guilbeau

“Sometimes it's not about your opinion; it's about what's right...and knowing the difference.”
Nina Guilbeau
