VLOG- A Day in the life of a Magazine Publisher.

 



Come with me on a typical day--well maybe not typical because my life is pretty unpredictable.  But I try to bring as much order to it as possible. On this day I went out for a morning walk thanks to my oldest son's encouragement.  

I also met up with Kathy Lewis, the author "My Life in My Pocket" book collection for lunch at Brick City Pizza in Lutz Florida.  Kathy will be the next cover person for Pasco Connect Magazine, and we sat down for lunch to review the first draft of her article, conduct follow up questions and have a nice catch-up chat.

I attend Kathy's virtual book club which is very exciting.  I love the books that the group discuss, and I learn a lot from the discussions.  Everyone in the group bring a lot of valid points and we don't always agree which makes for exciting discord.

We used this time to also discuss wardrobe for her photoshoot.  I was able to bring her designs shipped from Jacksonville Florida from Syn Style Fashions.  




Syndy Noisette is the head designer for Queen Connect Publishing and the garment that she made for Kathy is amazing and I can't wait to see it on the day of the shoot and pick out the perfect picture for the next cover of Pasco Connect Magazine.

She also received her bespoke jewelry pieces from Blessed Jewelry in Jacksonville Florida.  I'm so excited for everything to come together and today was just another step towards that.

We finished up our lunch and took some cute pictures next to one of the Ninja Turtles, (at the restaurant hosts suggestion).  It was a great time.  I hope you enjoyed this quick trip with me on my day.  I plan to share more of my journey.

 No Earthly Good Available on Amazon What happens when faith no longer fits the shape you were given? When love requires boundaries? When legacy feels more dangerous than divine? No Earthly Good is a fearless, reflective exploration of belief, sacrifice, love, judgment, family, legacy, and acceptance, told through lived experience rather than doctrine. With honesty and spiritual maturity, Candace L. Smith interrogates the ideas we are taught to revere and asks what they cost us when left unexamined. This book is not a rejection of God, love, or community, it is a reckoning with how they are practiced. Through personal reflection and cultural observation, Smith challenges performative faith, unbalanced sacrifice, conditional love, and the pressure to build legacies at the expense of integrity. Written for readers navigating disillusionment, spiritual fatigue, relational grief, and personal growth, No Earthly Good offers clarity without certainty and peace without perfection. It inv...
