Going Under

Good morning, my Lovelies!

I apologize for not blogging last week. As I told a friend this morning, the overwhelm is overwhelming right now. Work has been crazy, or crazier than usual, and is due to ramp up as we had an employee quit this week. This just makes for an awesome situation with the amount of scheduled travel I have on tap starting next month and ramping up next year. (No, they will not get someone hired into the position anytime soon.) 

I have some family health issues that are constantly on my mind and they are slowly wearing me down mentally, physically, and emotionally.

I'm horribly behind on what I want and need to do in the writing world. I feel as if I'm really letting my readers down and that is making me feel like shit. And I know, without a doubt all of my fans will tell me that my health and my family come first and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that, but it still breaks my heart that I haven't been able to produce for you all the way I want and have promised.

I feel as if I'm being torn into so many directions that I'll never be able to piece myself back together. I'm normally a very happy, positive, and encouraging person, but this morning I woke up in a dark place and I haven't found my light yet.

I noticed as I was scrolling through some of my Facebook memories yesterday that this time last year I had begun to make plans for my author's getaway weekend. I need to get on my booking site and get it scheduled, but I can't even seem to get excited about that enough to do it.

Today is definitely a "crawl-under-the-covers-and-hide-in-my-cave" kind of day. Unfortunately, that just can't happen.

I hope you are well and I'm sorry if this blog brings you down. Maybe next week I will have slayed a few of these depression demons and will be my happy-go-lucky, encouraging self.

Until next time and as always,


Much love and hope 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&#
