Today’s Challenge: For extra exercise, park farther from the door… Unless it’s dark, freezing, or slippery… Then park as close as you can. 🙂

Today’s Challenge: If you can take a break from something you love, do it!
I had such a wonderful week! I missed blogging and some of the social media, but taking a week break was very good for me. I spring-cleaned my house. I caught up on home repairs and maintenance. I started reading a fascinating book. I solved the Rubik’s Cube. I took longer walks with my now cancer-free dog. I ran errands that I had neglected. I tied up loose ends on a couple personal issues. I watched a couple of movies. I started daily stretching and tried meditating–the breathing part. I worked on my new manuscript…
Because of this week, I’ve decided to make a few changes with my social media. I’m going to turn my two Facebook accounts into one… that will take some time, but I think it will be good for me. I’ve also decided to change the way I tweet. Instead of the mainly random tweets, I will work on finding a clearer direction–I have some ideas, so I’ll test a few. My Blog, Facebook posts and Pinterest will all posts as tweets, too. I’m not making any major changes with my blog. 🙂
If you have any pointers on how you improved your relationship with social media, I’d love love love to hear about it.
So nice to be back. I’ve missed everybody’s comments and blogs. 🙂
Take a Break When You Need To…
Today’s Challenge: Take a break when you need to… and have a great weekend! 🙂
I’m going to “try” something…
I’m going to “try” to stop all social media and blogging for 1 week.
I’m afraid I’ll miss it, and I’ll never last a week… but I’m going to give it a “try.” 🙂
Wish me luck! I’m going to focus on my new book and some personal stuff… I need to shake things up a little!!!! 🙂
But don’t be surprised if I’m back in a few days…Â LOL
Bring Back #Memories with a #Childhood Toy
Today’s Challenge:Â Bring back memories with a childhood toy.
I was at Wal-Mart yesterday and ended up in the toy department searching for the Rubik’s Cube. I’m not sure why… I didn’t know if the Rubik’s Cube was still around or easily available. I assumed I’d have to order it online, but to my surprise, there it was, updated and hanging on a hook at Wal-Mart. I decided to buy it.
This toy brought up so many memories and I’ve discovered the Rubik’s Cube is a great conversation piece.
What are your memories of the Rubik’s Cube? Were you able to solve the cube?
What is your favorite childhood game or toy? Is it still available? Or do you have it hidden in the attic or garage?
Make it #Easy
Today’s Challenge: Make it easy.
This goes for the goals we want to achieve, dinner we want to cook, work we need to complete, weight we want to lose, friends we want to keep, errands we need to run, habits we want to break, and everything else in our lives.
We tend to complicate things when there is almost always an easier way. I’m guilty. 🙂
Recently, I’ve had several people (reviewers, bloggers and other authors) contact me about reviewing my books. THIS IS VERY EXCITING!!! So I’ve decided to try to “Make it easy” and I now have a For Reviewers page on my site. YAY! Â (Upper menu, far right.)
I’m also available for interviews and guest posts. 🙂
About my Novels:
The Gentlemen’s Club is all about the struggles of a young woman (Angie), and deals with many women’s issues: Domestic Violence, Rape and Sexual Assault, Equality, and so on… This novel is not about women being victims, it’s about women overcoming hard times and becoming stronger and better than the people who try to knock them down.
 reprinted with new cover
Touchable Love is about a woman (Christy) who has made bad choices causing her to build up walls for protection. Two amazing men come into her life and teach her all about love and healthy relationships. (I’m not sure why a reviewer claimed Christy had a sexual relationship with both men–Clearly she did not read the book. LOL) Anyway, Christy bravely and creatively faces her demons in hopes of a better life.
 reprinted with new cover
Returning Injury is about a woman (Rebecca) who is being tormented by a stalker. She has to find her inner strength, trust her instinct, and face all of her insecurities and doubts about her life.
The Dumpster is a light-hearted romance about a naive woman (Nicole) who falls in love too easily. She suffers heartache after heartache because men do not want to marry her. When Nicole’s two best friends start to settle down and her own parents go through uncertainty in their relationship, Nicole realizes she better make changes in her life or she’s going to end up alone.
Traveling for Love makes divorce not look so bad. Amanda is lost after her divorce. She feels rejected and her self-esteem is in the toilet. After she finds a job she enjoys and starts getting out with friends, she slowly discovers that divorce is not the end of the world. In an unconventional way, she learns more about herself and her wants and needs.
I also have a children’s book, Blue the Bird On Flying, a gift book, The Woman’s Handbook and two self-help booklets: 2 Days to healthy Self-Esteem and Secrets of a Thin Woman for .99 each. Oh, and my app, I’m Upset! which is a check in for women and was inspired by Returning Injury and The Dumpster.
Contact me here for a review copy. Or if you are just interested in reading one of my books, they are available everywhere books and ebooks are sold–They’re on Audio, too! 🙂
