Guest Blogger Introduction

I am excited to be having some guest bloggers periodically on this site.  We all have something to offer and I love to hear about the experiences of others.This week, I am featuring author, Carol M Green, a founding member of the Idaho Creative Authors Network. Carol is a grandmother and she runs. Running is one way she helps ensure that she will be
around to enjoy many years of grand-mothering. Her motto is “Learn to laugh and laugh while you learn,” because - what else are you going to do? Once you have learned, put it on paper and help others to learn.

The Hard Run: Painful Lessons from a Running Granny is her third book. It examines pain and the life lessons that can be learned through the discomforts of running.

Her first two books, “Gold Pans and Iron Skillets,” and "Milk Cans and Quilt Blocks" are collections of essays that teach a lesson. Some of them, however, are just for fun. Her blogs, Running Granny Green and CMG Writes, are for those lessons that can't wait for a special project.

Gary Learns to Skate, her first children’s book, teaches the value of perseverance. It was illustrated by her granddaughter and echoes the sentiment of Ralph Waldo Emerson, “That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased.”
