Friendship

Good morning, my Lovelies! I've been absent and I'm so sorry. I've been preparing for this book release at the end of the month and I've just had a load of shit going on. I hope you are well and that you have had wonderful things happening in your corner of the world.

I'm going to be so damn honest with you right now - I haven't been myself lately. Not at all! I've been emotionally and physically needy and that is absolutely not me. I like to think I shoulder my shit well and that for the most part, I'm a very independent person. But I swear I feel like I've been a whiny, pain in the ass over the past couple of weeks.

I've shared with you before that I have some pretty serious depressive episodes at times, and yes, I have other things that fuck with me. (I exhibit all the symptoms of ADHD though I've never been diagnosed. I'm obsessive-compulsive, and to top it all off I have gradually worsening misophonia.) But what I've been feeling lately is something that doesn't happen to me often and it makes me feel like I'm being a pain in the ass to everyone around me.

I have friends I don't normally get the opportunity to speak with that I have been messaging repeatedly (probably driving them crazy) just because I feel the need to talk to someone, anyone. Yes, I have friends and family that I talk to regularly, and I'm so grateful for them. But for some reason, I've just needed thoughts, opinions, and/or support from a different perspective. Does that make sense?

I recently had one of these friends tell me that I take on too much, that I shoulder too much. They said I'm always the dependable one - the rock. Their thoughts were that I just needed to talk to someone who doesn't rely on me for anything other than friendship, and I think maybe they're correct. It was nice to have a conversation with someone who wasn't looking for something from me or looking for me to do something for them.

Does that sound crazy? If so, then I guess I'll just add it to my growing list of disorders. I'm better today, by the way, and hope I'm slowly getting myself back on track.

Anyway...if you haven't heard, I have a new book coming out in a couple of weeks. The cover is gorgeous and sexy, and the story... Y'all, my beta reader told me it was chef's kiss perfection! If you take the plunge and read Logan's Flame, please let me know your thoughts, and damn it, go leave me a review! I need them! 

Until next time and as always,


Much love and mental illness from me to you!

Find Out Who Your Friends Are

Good morning, my Lovelies! It is time once again for me to get a few thoughts out of my head (maybe more than a few) and I just know that each and every one of you is itching to hear what has been floating around up there. Well, maybe not, but y'all love me and will humor me anyway. I don't know if this blog will touch you in any way, will make you feel anything, but I know it will me. As most of you know, my father passed away a couple of weeks ago. Neither of my parents has been in particularly good health for quite some time now. And while nobody is ever prepared to lose a loved one, not really, I feel like I had thought about the inevitability enough that I'm handling it better than I thought I would. Oh, I still have my moments. Believe me when I say I miss my father, but he was in pain and had been in pain for a long time. Maybe it just eases my mind that he is no longer suffering? Maybe it eases my mind that I never had to put him in a nursing facility, which is one

Taste Of You

Good morning, my Lovelies! I hope this blog finds you doing well and that things are groovy in your part of the world. How's things in my world? My epic game of Frogger continues. I guess my getting food poisoning over the weekend was the equivalent of my froggy self getting splatted on the speed lanes. Good times. I actually started writing this blog a couple of nights ago and about halfway through it dawned on me that everything I was saying sounded horribly familiar. I had to go back and check myself. It turns out that I had already talked about that particular topic so I kind of started over again. I mean, I assume you guys don't need more details on the night my ex-husband stabbed me. We'll move along. Instead, let's talk about... Desire. Has there ever been someone that you craved beyond all logical reason? You just can't get enough of them. You think about them all day, dream about them at night, and they're the first thought on your mind when you wake in

Crazy

Good evening, my Lovelies! Gracious! I hardly know where to begin. This is my first blog of the new year and I would be remiss if I didn't take a moment to acknowledge everyone who started reading and following my blog over the past year. I've gained some amazing followers and new friends and I'm thankful to each and every one of you. The past year brought many changes and challenges. It also brought some heartbreak, but at the same time, it brought many heart smiles. I had many blessings and I'm grateful for them all. So what is it that I want to talk to you about tonight? I think I've touched on this before, but if you don't already know, I'm a very insecure person. I've had friends, family, and people that I love, to just walk away without looking back. I've always wondered what I did that made them leave or what I didn't do to make them want to stay. I've tried repeatedly to tell myself that their leaving falls on them and not me, but I&#
