I just wanted to check in to say I’m still here. I finished my edits and turned them in and now I’m working on book #3 in the Lip Gloss Chronicles series. Have a good week!
I’m busy working on edits and a new manuscript. Have a good week all.
Dating and relationships can be so complicated. When do you know it’s time to go from “just dating” to a committed relationship?
Is it when:
Should there be a time line from dating to relationship–should you date for months before deciding he or she is someone you want to see exclusively? How soon is too soon?
I try to keep a positive attitude about things. Every now and then however, I let something bring me down. During those times, either one of my trusted friends tell me what I don’t want to hear, but need to hear or I have to check myself.
How do you maintain a positive attitude?
Do you feel like you’re in a rut? Are you tired of doing the same old thing day in and day out? I have a solution: Stop and Smell the Roses.
A lot of times we get so busy with life, that we forget to stop and enjoy our surroundings. Lately, every morning when I wake up, I’m greeted by the beautiful sounds of birds chirping outside my window. It’s music to my ears.
I know things happen and we get busy working on this project or that or a family member needs us. We have to stop letting life pass us by. Whether it’s birds chirping or noticing the new bloom on a flower, take the time each day to enjoy your surroundings. Live your life instead of letting time slip by.
Thought for today: If you don’t love yourself, then who will.
Loving one self is not being selfish. If we are to treat others like we treat ourselves, then loving oneself is a must.
Do something special for yourself today.
Letting go is hard at first. Letting go is a process, but if you practice it daily, you can do it.
I haven’t always been the calm and sweet woman I am now. I admit there are times when I might slip back into that I don’t give a d*** mode because some man I’ve encountered is showing me that he’s full of B.S.
When my ex-boyfriend showed his a** and hurt me beyond words it took me a minute (okay more than minute) but eventually I had to let go of the anger and move on. Before I let go of the anger, I was hard on men. I allowed my built up frustrations to be taken out on unsuspecting men. If the guy didn’t do exactly what I wanted, he could hang it up. The new guy didn’t stand a chance. I eventually got over my anger and became the loving and kind woman that I am today:
If you live long enough you’re going to experience some things–good and bad. I don’t know one person above the age of 18 that doesn’t have baggage. It’s what you decide to do with that baggage that matters. Are you going to let it weigh you down? Are you going to put it to the side and keep on moving?
Whatever a person decides to do, in order to move on and be happy with self and the opposite sex, Letting Go is a must.
March will be a busy month for me as I finish writing the third book in the Lip Gloss Chronicles series. I hope that when The Ultimate Test comes out in May, you will share a copy with a teen in your life.
If you’ve missed some of my stops on “The Invisible Love” tour, be sure to check some of the interviews and posts out on my blog.
Thank you to everyone who signed up to my mailing list over the last few months. The fact you stayed around even when I didn’t have a contest going on means a lot to me.
I hope March is a good month for you all.

She applies and is later approached by Jake with a proposition she can’t turn down.
