Fantasy Verses Reality

Fantasy Made Into Reality

This Reality is taking me back
To my Fantasy
As you undress me
And your hands start to
Caress me
The anticipation of you holding me
Tends to excite me
As you make love to my body
I ride on the brink of ecstasy
As you kiss me
Lick me
Filling me up
With you inside of me
Making me wet
With each stroke
Until my mind is no longer in control
My body takes over
Shivering

Reality is better than any Fantasy

Wordless Wednesday – Peace

Sister Soldiers Packing Party

Here’s information about a project, my local book club, Sistah Circle Book Group, participated in recently.  Cynthia Harrison and Rosie Roberson (see pic below) from our book club helped pack supplies at Galilee Baptist Church. Tannie Bradley organized the packing party for the Sister Soldiers Project. The Sister Soldiers Project was founded by Myraline Whitaker.


One hundred care packages are on their way to be received by 100 black female soldiers stationed at sea and in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait…

Starting in January, Bradley started collecting money. In conjunction with Sistah Circle Book Group, Women of Wisdom Book Club, Galilee Baptist’s Angels of Love, the National Association of University Women and Organic Root Stimulator Hair Care Manufacturer, Sistahs BookClubbing raised $2,248 for purchase of items and shipping of packages, which cost $10.35 each… Read full article.

You Don’t Have to Be Beyonce to Date a Jay Z

Now that I got your attention, read on. Back in the day, it was every little girls wish to meet her fairy tale prince charming. As we grow older, the realization of that NOT happening can hit harder than a ton of bricks.  Although I’ve let go of believing in the fairy tale prince, I do think regardless of your age, your “Mister Right” is out there. No, he won’t be like the ones you read about in my books or like Beyonce’s Jay Z, but he does exist.  Here are some things you can do that will make you feel like the superstar that you are. I like to call them the 5 B’s:  

  1. Be Prettty. I don’t care if you’re the CEO of your own company or a young lady working behind the counter at McDonald’s, all women want to feel pretty. We want the man of our desires to find us attractive.  Being pretty doesn’t have to cost you. Try to be the best “you” by making sure when you leave the house your hair and clothes are together. If you’re not into wearing make-up, try Shock-o-late Lip Glass by M.A.C. or Wetslicks Sugar Maple Lip Gloss by Cover Girl.  Accessorize: earrings, a belt, a scarf, etc can bring a dull outfit to life.  Pretty is a state of mind—let it shine through from the inside–out.
  2. Be Friendly.  Nothing says “I’m approachable” like a big ol’ beautiful smile. If you’re in the store and pass by a man you find attractive, it doesn’t hurt to speak first. Don’t walk around frowning. Nobody wants to be around a sourpuss. A friendly gesture might be all it takes for your prince charming to give you a second look.
  3. Be Fresh.  Have you ever been somewhere and ran across a man where he smelled so good, you just had to know what he was wearing? Well the same works for women when it comes to attracting men. There’s nothing like wearing perfume that will get any stranger to asking—“what are you wearing?” Every body is different, so you may have to experiment until you find the right fragrance that mixes with your body chemistry. I will let you in on a little secret: Issey Miyake perfume is like an aphrodisiac.  When I’m feeling flirty, I’ll wear it and I get results no matter where I am. It works at the post office, at the store, etc.  Smelling good is a good first impression and opens the door for communication. Find a fragrance that works for you and let the conversations begin.
  4. Be Cool.  Never let them see you sweat. Life comes with its challenges, but there’s no need to have an attitude about it. Also when you meet someone who is in your eyes all that and a box of shoes, don’t sweat him. Let him come to you. If you’ve shown him that you’re approachable, then, relax and be cool. He’s the hunter; let him hunt.
  5. Be Yourself. Know yourself. Know your limitations. Know what you’re looking for in a man. Don’t settle for less. You deserve the best and contrary to statistics, the best is out there.  Be your best and expect the best in return.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Yvonne Fountain Copeland is determined to move on after her husband of fifteen years decides to leave her because their marriage became “boring.” Returning to her hometown of Durham, North Carolina, Yvonne is convinced that a change of scenery will help her draw closer to God and find inner peace. Yvonne didn’t know that the journey to peace would lead her to sexy, single childless basketball coach Curtis Parker.

Yvonne and Curtis soon discover that you can’t find true peace and joy without God’s help. What began as a series of “why me’s” evolves into an extraordinary journey consisting of victory, faith, joy and love.

I’ve Missed You

I know it’s been a few weeks since I posted something new.  Life has had me running in various directions–no complaints though.

I’m getting ready for my first teen book release (www.thelipglosschronicles.com) and working on completing the next book in the series. I’ve also been busy offline falling in love so my time online has been limited.

Enough about me–What have you all been up to?
