This is How God Leads Us to Our Gifts

Why is it that our own gifts are often the hardest to see? We can recognize the beauty of someone else’s gift so easily, yet when it comes to our own, it’s as if we’ve lost sight of it completely.



I’ve struggled for a long time to accept that I’m a writer. And while I know I’m not alone (hello, imposter syndrome), that knowledge has never brought me much comfort.



Tell me if this sounds familiar: you see someone online, or even in real life, completely owning their gift. They make it look e...

The Truth About Starting Over with Christ

I just deleted six years’ worth of blogs!



Let me take you back to the beginning. I joined social media in 2017, and since then, I’ve written books—fiction and non-fiction—blogged regularly, created various products, and even dabbled in becoming a YouTuber. Some of the things I shared during that time I still stand behind, especially the writing tips. Others make me cringe. That’s why I decided to do a cleanse.



From 2017 to 2022, the core of my platform was built around promoting the law of...

Simple Living: What It Is and What It's Not

When you first hear the phrase “Simple Living,” you might think it means having to do without. Often, we believe it means we must adapt to a minimalistic lifestyle, that we must live in lack, or that our furniture comes from secondhand stores. But this is not what Simple Living is. While all these can be included in your version of Simple Living, it’s not what it means at its core. Simple Living means living a life of ease which often includes slowing down.





What does Simple Living consist...

COVER REVEAL

Today is the one-year anniversary of the release of my novel, Between Us. Last year I released the book at the start of the pandemic, and that was about all I did, release it.

This year I'm giving this book the attention it deserves, starting with a fresh new face. Without further adieu, here's the new cover.



The revamp of Between Us comes with a couple of additional perks:

1. The first chapter of the spin-off has been added to the book, so when you buy Between Us, you can hop right into the next story. Plus, you'll get to find out the title first!

2. From 03/23/2021 - 3/31/2021, you can buy the e-book for $0.99 on Amazon and online retailers.

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0841MY9CY/...

Online retailers: https://books2read.com/u/3k1LXn

I'm so excited to share this new launch with all of you. I'm so thankful for your support. It would mean THE WORLD to me if you would help me spread the word of this new launch.

Here's how:
1. Share the news on your social media accounts
2. Write a review on Amazon and Goodreads
3. Share my posts about the book
4. Buy the book

Thank you again for your support!

How to Use Goodreads as an Author

I recently took the webinar “How to Sell More Books Using Goodreads,” and it was mind-blowing. I was so impressed by the information provided that I purchased what they were selling.

And, what they were selling was an online course of 29 different classes (typically offered as an in-person conference) from industry professionals geared toward writers and authors.

The webinar was taught by Alessandra Torre, the founder of Inkers Con, an annual authors conference.

I’m still working my way thr...

RELEASE DAY: SUPER MANIFESTING JOURNAL



So, the journal was supposed to be released on October 1, 2020, but, Amazon was experiencing some delays, and therefore the book wasn't released until today!

There are two options for purchase. You can visit Amazon and buy the journal directly from there, or you can visit marisuggs.com and purchase the PDF and insert it in a binder of your choice.

I've provided this option because Amazon requires that I list the price of the journal for $40. And, even though I know the journal is worth it because it's 297 full-color pages of pure gold, I understand these are tough times. My goal is to help anyone I can transform their life until they feel the happiness that I feel today.

I am living my best life because I applied the techniques in this journal. My number one goal in life has always been to own my time. This meant, I hated going to a 9 to 5 and the restrictions that came with it. I felt unfulfilled, depressed, and hopeless every time I went. Because I was so aware of the life I wanted, I dedicated my days to changing that aspect of my life.

Now I'm happy to report that I don't go to a 9 to 5 job anymore and I am happy and truly fulfilled with the life I live.

If you don't know where to start manifesting your dreams or if you need a little push and guidance, then this journal is perfect for you. It's shown up in your life for a reason. Don't dismiss the push the universe is giving you. Grab your copy today, and start manifesting your best year yet.

Our Feelings Are Driven By Two Things



When I first started on my self-development journey, I was surprised to learn that our lives are driven by two things that evoke strong feelings: love or fear. 




How do we know if what we’re feeling is coming from love or fear? Well, these are some of the feelings associated with love:



Joy

Compassion

Generosity

Patience

 



While these feelings are associated with fear:

Guilt

Hate

Jealousy

Resentment

At every moment we are feeling something, therefore, it's...
