Hello everyone, I am still uncertain how this all works but I am grateful for even your prayers at this time. I am a divorced mother of 3 wonderful children. I have joint custody of our 3 children but there dad recieves all the tax benefits and moneys from the governement. I have a common law spouse who works so hard and has provided so much for me and my children. I have terrible anxiety and Ptsd which makes it difficult for me in the work place, but I followed my dream and became a published auther of 2 books. It is not easy starting out being a writer. I have given away many of my books for free to people in hopes to get my name out there and  begin making money. I believe my books will become known but as anything it takes time. I have begun working at a temp agency nights and as well a part time waitress job so some of our bills could get caught up. Yesterday I visited the food bank and we now have some food for the kids. Our heat has been disconnected and to get it hooked up again the gas company wants a deposit of 1000 dollars. We have a house and so because we pay on a morgage the helps is not available for us from the government. Even though now we have been forced to put our house up for sale. I want to keep faith and believe that everything will work out. Many people still say when I say I cannot give away my books for free anymore, they will say well money isnt important........but  I am not sure they see that I have 3 children and bills as well...and if money meant nothing then why would they not pay? I had bought 300 copies of my books from my grandmothers inheritance in hopes of reselling  them and each book cost me 13.00 american. I am selling them now for 10 dollars canadian plus the shipping cost. I realize I am taking a loss but these books are here and we need the money right now.I wonder where the balance of giving and recieving is, somedays I need help in seeing this. Anyways hope to hear some thoughts from you all. Blessings and LOve........
