Timeless Thoughts & Words of Wisdom From the Mind of Tonya D. Floyd; Volume 1–I’m Just Sayin,… & Volume 2–It’s All Relative (2012) Available in paperback and on Amazon Kindle!
Uh, who the heck is Tonya D. Floyd, and who cares what she thinks about anything? Well, you do. Because what I have to say was written for or about you; you just don’t know it yet. Once you get in there, you’ll find that this is well worth the read, and will make a good reference book—and gifts. Let’s not forget about the copies you’ll buy for your loved ones.
I’m no different from you really. Yeah, I sit around thinking a lot, and I’ve written a few other books already—pretty profound stuff if I say so myself. But the thing that binds you and me is life—the good, the bad, the relatives; we all have stuff. Regardless of where you’re from, or what you do in your spare time, neither you nor I can run from good ole life, and all that comes with it. So I write books to find the people out there who don’t mind comparing notes.
From Where I Stand, It Is What It Is—2005. But Sometimes There’s More—2006. Nothing New Under the Sun—2011. I poured all of me into those three books, and I found some pieces I didn’t even know were there too. Yet, would you believe I still had a lot to get out of my head? I would sit at my computer and compose emails about whatever was on my mind that day. It got so that I was sending one almost every day. I mean, I’ve had a lot going on in my life the last few years—and it’s not over. Not by a long-shot.
But before long, I had something like my own editorial column going, and my small circle of readers grew into a big one, and spread out into my readers’ circles, and then I found out I was a hit. Somebody recently told me, “Only you say the things so many people are thinking, but would never have the nerve to say.” Actually, a few somebodies (just go with it) have told me that over the years, and I’m cool with that. I actually started a blog last year because of this thought for the day concept. People really wanted to hear from me. I even tried quitting, but apparently I make sense on most days. I had no idea all this stuff in my head would come in handy on this level. Now I couldn’t stop if I tried. Each new day brings new challenges, new people, and so much to write about. I love it. Thank you all for allowing my thoughts and me to speak to and for you. I’m humbled.
