Tell Me Mother You're Sorry by Nicholl McGuire
After writing family history books and thinking back on mother daughter relationships including the one I have with my mother, I realize that there was a pattern. Those ups and downs in mother daughter relationships that were typical, you talk and then you are distant, you talk and then you break. But there are those daughters who distanced themselves and never picked up the phone or came around again,
Tell Me Mother You're Sorry is a nonfiction book that supports those adult sons and daughters who have had enough of their mothers to put it quite simply. In the work, I share the experiences of others, the personalities of those I have personally encountered and how I became an adopted daughter to them as well as advice from women who have gone no contact for years.
I hope that when the book is released you will support me and thanks for stopping by. Do check out YouTube video, Distant Daughters, Troubled Mothers - No Contact nmenterprise7
God bless.

Nicholl McGuire - Back to Hub Pages
Lately, I have seen much advertising for Hub Pages around the web at various work at home websites and job boards, so I have returned to the site and it seems that things are getting better. For those of you unfamiliar with Hub Pages, it is another place, like Blogger, for writers to create, share and learn more about public opinion related to just about anything you might want to talk about.
There are templates now that help with creating hub pages. You will also notice there are more quality hubs since there are certain restrictions on the site. The site is still quite active and is doing well in search engines. So if you want a place to share what's on your mind, you might want to head over to the site. They also still have their systems in place to help you earn money too.
Here are my latest Hub Pages:
Black People Around the World
Questionable Epidemics in the United States
A World of Toys Not in Walmart, Toys R Us, Target and Other Mainstream Stores
Loved Ones with Toxic Behaviors
Population Reduction Issues - Greed, Power

The Older I Get, The More I See Children Inside Grown-ups
They might look old, have some wit about them, and experienced much, but underneath the adult exterior are men and women who have a myriad of personality issues, ignorance, and downright weirdness.
Sometimes I try to talk myself out of what I'm seeing. I pretend at times that I don't see what I see in people. It's as if I hear a voice from their souls that wants to be let out of their dysfunction. There are moments that I can feel their negativity and ugliness. I have to work real hard not to reveal what I know about some of these people.
Supernatural gifts are powerful and can make or break a person or group depending on how you use them. In the past, I have become quite angry and revealed my foes' issues in battle as far back as I remember and of course didn't win any friends doing so. I have physically fought with another foe's demonic energy and we both lost wearing permanent scars on our bodies as a result. I have experienced so much pain from some that I felt sick to my stomach for a long time, had headaches, and shared their heartaches as well while asking the heavenly Father for strength to get through another day.
Some admire my strength, courage and boldness for being that spiritual person that really knows how to connect with others, but then there are those who look at me with eyes that wish I were dead. They know I see their demons and worry that I might expose them for who they really are.
As I mature, I see children in many troubled adults, grown men and women who have yet to grow up. These little people that were abused and used and were never released. They still hold on to adult bodies like infants clutching the fingers of mothers, but rather have beautiful angelic looks about them, they are dark, ugly babies within.
Mean-spirited, angry, frustrated, bitter, unforgiving, and resentful adults with agendas, schedules, appointments, money, and other material goods and still unhappy. At times their eyes are like daggers with envy on the tips of them as they look you up and down from head to toe. These sick people fake interest in you, smile half-heartedly, and if they should see the slightest flaw or weakness, these miserable people will amuse themselves by pointing it out.
Ugly men and women on the inside, yet attractive on the outside, tend to create offspring who wear their demons like badges of honor. That's why for some they have no desire to bring human beings into this world because they know what they are, children of darkness.
Some of these evil adults will quite boldly tell you, "I am what I am. I'm not interested in Jesus, God, wisdom, love, peace, patience...nothing! Leave me be." If you're wise, you will do just that, but if you were once like I was, you will try to play a Good Samaritan role and get burned. When a person warns, "I'm not who you think. I can't be who you want me to be. I am incapable of loving others. I don't want to be bothered. I don't like you..." heed the warning! You can't save them, so don't try. No amount of gift-giving, patience, love, or nothing else will win that person's love, his or her soul to Christ or anything else! Rather than make the individual's life or others miserable with feel-good tactics, prompts to get others to tip-toe around the individual, or try to persuade him or her to change, save your energy for those who are willing and able to reciprocate love.
These lost men and women with childhood issues and tantrums are unfortunately headed to dead-ends unless they face their demons, purge their bodies of them, and embrace all things good.

Special Thanks from Nicholl McGuire of nichollmcguire.blogspot.com
I just wanted to take this time to say, "Thank you!" My twitter followers, YouTube subscribers, Hub Pages family, Plurk folks, and others who have passed on my article, blog and video links! You have helped out so much over the years by showing your online support, thank you, thank you!
Just the other day a link I remember posting that only had less than 10 views a year ago attracted over a thousand clicks, and others like this that started off the same way, increased far more than I ever expected. It turns out that people online do actually care about others and how they have handled various life experiences, there was a time I doubted this. Back in those days (1992-93), the Internet (World Wide Web), was nothing more than a landfill of sites that wanted nothing more than to get you to buy something without establishing any kind of relationship with you. Site after site had paragraphs of text, boring images, and many links. Back then, you didn't need to subscribe or join anything to see a site.
These days with so much socializing, link sharing, chatting, and more, it is very easy to establish a real relationship with someone or many miles away. I hope to reach more people in the future and add many more to my circles around the web.
Have a great day or night!
Sincerely,
Nicholl

What is Making a Difference?
Lately, I have revisited what appears to be a simple question when thinking of my business endeavors, "How is what I do truly making a difference?"
We are so consumed by numbers, performance, dollar signs, marketing strategies, business planning, and how much is coming and going out of ones back account that we oftentimes lose sight of "the difference," whatever that might mean to you in your business or workplace.
So I explored this thought of making a difference and I have reached the following points:
1. What others view of what you do is "the difference." So compare that with what your mission statement, objective or view of your business says and make the necessary changes. Since what you do affects the people, wouldn't it make sense for them to have somewhat of a say so on what you are supposedly doing for them?
2. Making a difference doesn't come without hard work. As much as we would like to think we are on the right path, seek the one or those you sought for assistance and see what they think. Are you working too hard, not enough, or just enough? Are you doing some things with dismal results? When do we cut those tasks out and replace them with new ones?
3. Choose what you do wisely. If what you do is truly making a difference you wouldn't care so much about "the numbers"-- what about how you feel?
4. Knowing that doing something that is impactful on society doesn't come without sacrifice. Depending on how passionate you are about it, something or someone is going to lose around you, you. Be ready to wipe the tears from your eyes and keep going.
So I continue this quest which isn't always profitable, politically correct, or seemingly purposeful, but what I do know for certain is I am making a difference somewhere in this world!
Thanks for reading!

Ancestry DNA - Answering Questions You Always Had About Who You Are
One of the best things anyone could do to find out more about their ancestry is to have one's DNA analyzed. I will admit I never liked a label put on my ethnicity especially when it doesn't explain the breakdown of who I am.
Not that long ago (9-23-2014), I got the answers to questions I had about my family history and as an added bonus--through the DNA test--I was able to discover other relatives online.
I will tell you that parents might want to consider purchasing the kit, if not for yourself, but for your children. Even though we live in a large world, it is small too. Nowadays, people are able to connect with half sisters, brothers, cousins etc. online via dating websites very easily. Just think, one's son or daughter comes up to you one day talking about how compatible he or she is with someone only to find out that they have a white, black or another ethnicity for a cousin.
So do consider taking the time out to get your Ancestry DNA done. By the way I found out that my ancestors came from the Congo/Cameroon, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Benin/Togo, West Europe (Iberian Pennisula, Ireland...), Native American, and Polynesia.

The More Things Change, The More They Stay the Same with Me
I will be the first to admit that all things haven't changed in my life, just the characters who play different parts. I still have a husband, children, and a past. I still have a present and a future that remains consistent--still reading and writing--love it!
I am still that strong-minded, serious at times, friendly lady people use to know. Yet, these days I consider myself to be more spiritual than I ever was back in the day. These days I permit my online and offline work to be my escape from the things that disappoint me. Having cash in your pocket is better than having none even if your muse isn't always what you wanted it to be.
So I take a moment to just say, "Hello" to those who stop by periodically to see what I am up to. Thank you for reading.

I Thank My Inspirations for Writing
Every now and then I have to show appreciation to those that have supported me-- those that keep me motivated to write, to them I say, Thank you! Those that listened to my verbal concerns, rants, flattery, and more--thank you! Those that read my work and paid for it--special thank you!
In addition to supporters, there are "Inspirations" that move me to pen my thoughts. From the beatiful artwork that someone has left on a wall for observers to analyze to someone nice I meet while working/shopping in public, these people, places and things are motivations for me.
Despite living in a world that promotes/glorifies/upholds evil, it is up to us as writers, speakers, teachers, parents, and others to bring good! Wherever we might work and whoever we might talk to, it is our divine job to utilize the light we have to shine on lost souls in dark places. As a result of our Heavenly Father using us, we should see atmospheres cleaned, rearranged, broken down, and/or built back up again since being in a troubled person's presence or walking in a challenging atmosphere.
I know that there are many in our world who don't like to read or write. I also realized that these same people oftentimes don't like the ones who do especially those who are skilled at exposing falsehoods. But rather than show disdain for one's hobby, skill or craft or attempt to compete, he or she might want to embrace it--be grateful that one is courageous enough to say the things you could never say and read books you have no interest. The naysayers, thieves, backsliders, and liars are also my inspiration as well for writing.
Thank God for RELEASE, now it's time to get on with a new chapter, stay tuned.

Small Town Mindset Can Kill Big Dreams
One of the biggest mistakes people from small towns do after being exposed to big city life is to go back home and adapt to the small mindset of locals once again.
After months or even years of broadening one's horizons, far too many individuals relocate back home and accept ignorance. From negative comments about big cities, lifestyles, and cultures (that most small minds have never encountered personally) to what they think they know about a neighborhood because they "read somewhere...heard about...my cousin use to live there..." so this makes someone knowledgeable? How about living and staying in the big city rather than running into the arms of worry and fear? What about walking the streets, riding the buses, attending events, and lending your service to that new community rather than finding solace in the ever-popular statement, "I just want to be close to family..."? Aren't those the people you needed to get away from in the first place in an effort to grow up?
I simply have little patience for the little know-it-all mind who spreads his or her limited view of the world. Then later, he or she wants to go back home and act as if this individual is the authority to speak on big issues in a big city that he or she ran away from. Is anyone paying attention to that kind of action? It wasn't about family, it was about survival. The mind could no longer handle big city life coupled with the fact that a loved one or friend whispered repeatedly over the years, "Why don't you come back home?" Think of the many people who did relocate only to later wish they had never returned home. Now they are nothing more than a problem to the family since returning, because they are filled with so much regret.
I have sat with those who came from backgrounds that were mainly decorated in white or in black. These people chose to live that way, not because it was necessary, but because they enjoyed the comfort of dealing with their "own people" or "own kind." I didn't argue or persuade these folks to "...think out of the box" because I could tell from their conversations that it just wasn't an option. They were either "too old to change...was afraid...liked their simple life..." For a few, they went so far to say that they "didn't want drama in their lives..." I didn't know that opening one's heart and mind to other people outside of one's ethnicity was "drama."
Anyway, since living in various cities and talking with many people, I recognize that a leopard just isn't going to change its spots. It doesn't matter where he moves, who he meets, or what he does, underneath all of the smiles and so-called "open to all" conversation, is still an ignorant, angry or fearful person who just doesn't like the idea of living in a world with people who aren't staying up late at night contemplating on how to hurt him. Some just look for fights that were never there in the first place--good riddens, the small-minded should go back to their small towns and while there, tell the locals the truth, "I thought it was for me, but it really wasn't...I couldn't handle it."
May today be the day that those readers who happen to stumble on this blog entry, awaken or reawaken to the life you know you are expected to live--not being governed by the ignorance of the small mindset, the fearful or the worried.
Live your best life now for you are not promised tomorrow!

May today be the day that those readers who happen to stumble on this blog entry, awaken or reawaken to the life you know you are expected to live--not being governed by the ignorance of the small mindset, the fearful or the worried.
Live your best life now for you are not promised tomorrow!

They Say, "I Need Someone to Write My Book"
For years, I have offered my services to assist individuals and businesses with writing their books, articles, reports, press releases, etc.. From memoirs to a simple two-page biography, if someone dared to come out of his or her shell while trusting me enough to write about him or her, I did it. Well, that season is coming around again, where I say, "Here I am! If you need assistance with your book, then let's get started!" But I am only offering this service for a limited time only before I am back to preparing my publications.
Sometimes people are all talk, because they know I have written a book. Others are no show and no go because they aren't about to share what they believe are their precious secrets. Then there are still others that want to do business, but don't have the time or money, so they put their book writing project off.
These days I am willing to assist with the beginning of one's most desired book project for $99 down. This means that I interview with the subject who is determined to write the book and we get some of what is in his or her head onto paper. Now the kind of book, the target market, and everything else related to publishing will come later. What is most important is getting some of what the person wants to talk about the most out in the open.
So if you know someone who strongly wants to write a book and he or she is very much willing to pay for the book assistance, then have that person email me at nmcguire7@hotmail.com so we can further discuss.

She has attended many churches over the years and is certified to teach Sunday School. In recent years, Nicholl talks of God moving her to write books and speak his word. Many years prior, leaders in the churches that she attended prophesied what she is doing now. May God bless them for boldly speaking God's word into her life!
