Questions for Pamela Cummins to be on my blog:
Jan, what an honor it is to be on your blog. Thank you so much for having me here.
Q: Pamela, you write in a very different genre than me. Can you tell our readers about your genre and how you came to write it?
A: I write in the self-help nonfiction gene to help people with their personal growth, spirituality, and love relationships. The way I came about writing in this genre is through my own self-growth and spiritual journey that began back in 1989. My life went from misery to acceptance, love, and happiness; which caused an inner knowing that had to share what I learned to the world. I opened my practice in 1993 and have been a teacher/student ever since. My articles, blogs, columns, and books …show more content…
LOL! The number one thing that helps me stay upbeat is my relationship with God. I trust God even if I don’t like what is going on in my life. I wasn’t always like that and had to learn how to be positive and trust God’s will for me. That took years and brought life experience wisdom. I ask God every day, “Please keep my thoughts positive and filled with hope so you and I can create an awesome life filled with love...” What helps me to stay upbeat is prayer, meditation, and trusting my intuition. I do my best stay away from negativity, whether that is the news, books, movies, and people. Another thing that helps is when something upsets me: I allow my feelings to come up, release my emotions, and may focus on what’s wrong with the person or situation for a little while (hey, I am human). Then I look within myself to see my part: did I cause it, is it a reflection of me, is there an issue I need to resolve, what steps I need to take, and what I learned from it. A wise woman once told me, “Out of horror can come beauty,” and I look for the beauty.
Q: When you’re not writing, what do you do for fun?
A: The physical activities I enjoy are yoga and long walks in nature because it keeps me grounded in a meditative way and make my body, mind and spirt feel great. These days my fun is the simple things in life: being with friends and family, good conversations, and quiet nights at home with my man. I do love going out to eat at different types of ethnic restaurants and Eastern NC shrimp and oyster burgers - yummy. Travel is fun once I get there; I’m looking forward to the day I can say, “Beam me up and beam me down, Scotty.” My favorite thing in life has always been reading; a day in bed reading is a day of
