Happy Leap Year!! This day only comes around every four years and I love the extra day. I sure can use one every now and then. Well, we just got the van for Hope Station USA that will be used to transport fundraising items and eventually transporting homeless individuals to and from work. I am so excited. Now, we just need to clean it up, get it painted and reupholstered, and ready to go. I can't wait to get it on the road.
I am trying to get things back in order and in routine since the fire. It has been stressful and just coming out of the hospital with a wound on my foot doesn't help matters. I am just trying to do my best with everything and now I need to get grant proposals written to begin bringing in funding. Everything is coming out of my pocket which I have no problem with because this organization is my baby that I gave birth to.
As far as my writing is concerned, my newest book on addictions just went up for sale on Amazon and I am excited about that too. You can check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084RWTZSK. It took me months to write it and a year researching everything. I thank webmd.com and drugs.org for keeping their information up to date. It was a beast to write, but now I must get to work on some other books that I have started. I have two books that will be book two in their series and need to get them finished. I have a lot of things going on right now and will be working diligently on them to their completion.
Things here at home are finally starting to get some normalcy going and it takes some of the stress away but I still need to keep myself healthy and mentally stable. Everyone is being respectful of the fact that I need to stay off my feet so that the wound under my foot will heal. Thursday I will know if my foot is going back to normal or if it will be placed in a cast again. I am also doing a weight loss class for my diabetes and have lost two pounds this first week and it should be even more this week since I have changed my eating habits and began exercising again.
I began this post earlier, but I got called away to check and do some things in the house like clean the kitchen, which I finished and now I can go back to my writing and get some things done. I lost the motivation for a few days plus the instructions of staying off my foot as much as possible. I love writing when left alone and having completed scheduled things which bring on the motivation for more.
I want to get things back to normal fully and get back into my routine so that everything runs smoothly. The bills got messed up for a minute but I am taking care of them, we are going up to the property office to sign a contract buying the next three acres to us so that we will own six acres and I can begin putting my farm together in June. With a greenhouse in place, I will be able to grow fruits and vegetables all year long and plant some fruit trees so that I can jar some fruit for eating. With the next three acres, I can begin clearing the land and designing the livestock enclosures.
This year will be paying off our vehicles and getting our well drilled by Thanksgiving. Then, next year, all the spare money that was used to purchase the vehicles will go towards building our house and putting the money together for my restaurant which I haven't forgotten about. There are a lot of things that need to get done and with my schedule, everything will get completed.
Well, it is time to get things moving forward, so I want to wish everyone a "Happy Birthday" that is celebrating today and for everyone else to have a blessed day with your loved ones. Please keep the homeless in your thoughts and prayers while we live through this cold season. Say a prayer for Hope Station USA to move forward with its plans to help the homeless. Take care.

Hello everyone. It is beautiful outside here in Dalton, Georgia. The sun is shining and there are squirrels running everywhere. My dogs are out playing on the back porch while some are still eating. I got our room cleaned and the kitchen, so my day can begin with writing. I am excited that I have given away two free ebooks just this morning on my newly published book about addictions. I hope everyone gets their copy before the end of Friday.
Today I will be writing a short story for my erotica book, a children's bible storybook, an article to post online, and some of my newest book which has already been started. My day will be full of writing and I really enjoy that. It makes me happy to be writing again and that my husband supports my writing. I love him so much.
Well, this will be a short post today because I need to get some things done and I got started a little late. "Happy Birthday" to everyone celebrating today, and may you all have many more. Please keep the homeless in your thoughts and prayers and pray for Hope station USA to get things and the funding we need to get out there and help them. I wish everyone a blessed day and a "Happy Monday". Take care.

Good Morning Everyone. It is me again. I have been up for a couple hours now and have done some free advertising for my new book which will be FREE this Monday through Friday on Amazon. I think that it will help a lot of people. It certainly took a lot of time and effort writing so that I could share and inform people about addictions.
I have fed my dogs and taken them outside and it is kind of cloudy but still a bit chilly too. I am going to go get my second cup of coffee, be right back. Okay, I have my coffee now and ready to work my day. I can now write per my schedule since the beast of a book is done. Now back to regular books with stories and fantasy.
Today, I will be setting my lists back up to get started with the regular routine. I am so looking forward to it. I haven't been on a schedule in months because of having to work on this big book to get it done. Now, I feel accomplished and the next book in that series will be about rape and abuse. That book will be the hardest thing to write because it will bring back memories that I didn't think I would have to relive, but I must in order to help those dealing with the same issues.
Well, it is time to get going and get stuff done. "Happy Birthday" to those having one today and may you all have many more to come. God bless every one of us and please keep the homeless in your thoughts and prayers and do something kind for someone today. Take care.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hello everyone. How are you today? I am doing pretty good and excited that my new book is up on Amazon. It took me months to write it and months to get the research done on it, but it is finally finished and live on Amazon for sale. I am so proud of myself and happy to be done with it. If you want to know anything about different drugs, legal or illegal, this is the book to get. You would be surprised to know about the other addictions as well like hair pulling and anime. It is full of lots of information, so get your copy now.
Now that that book is done, I can work on some of my other books that are in the making and that I have been working on since the beginning of Addictions. there are three that I am working on and they should be done around the end of this month as well. I can now get back on my writing schedule to get my books out there one at a time, but keeping up with the publishing of them is fun.
Today is one day for lovers and couples to share their love with each other. I also like the chocolate that comes with this holiday too. We have no plans except to spend the evening together and watch movies, maybe play around a bit, lol. My foot is doing okay but it is still oozing and I have a doctor's appointment with wound care on Tuesday to get a cast on my foot until it heals.
Well, I need to get back to work or go spend time with my husband watching movies. I hope everyone has a funny valentine's day and with someone they love. Please keep the homeless in your thoughts and prayers this winter season and may you all be blessed. Take care.
My new book "How I Survived Addictions" is now live on Amazon and everyone should check it out. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084RWTZSK

Hello everyone and "Happy Sunday". It is so beautiful outside and the temperature is not so cold. I love it. I have been working so hard lately on my addictions book that I am right there at the end of it. The goal was to have it done by the last night of January, but because other people want me on their schedule and doing things for them instead of me, it has pushed my book off a few days, but it will be done today, I guarantee it.
I have a slight headache and it is making it a bit difficult to manage writing on the computer, but I am a strong woman and headstrong to boot. I have goals and I will complete my goals with the thought that if no one likes it they can kiss my rear end. I am living life wearing a mask to play out a character that makes everyone else happy but me.
I cannot be myself in the situation we are in and I regret moving back here to live miserably. When we do take a trip back to the property, I feel so much joy and happiness, but when we leave to come back here, tensions rise and then we start arguing and it can get pretty bad to where one of us wants to throw the towel in and say to hell with it all.
Well, it is time to get the ball rolling on my writing. I still have a little bit of stuff to put into the book and then I can begin the editing and formatting. I have taken care of the dogs and got them set for a while and now it is time for me to get the job I started done. I am supposed to be two days into my next book, but thankfully, I have written almost one chapter of it, so I just need to read it and get back into the story.
I hope that everyone has a blessed day and look for my new book to be up on Amazon soon. It is full of a lot of information that can help everyone. "Happy Birthday" to all of you who have turned another year older today and may you be blessed with many more to come. Please keep the homeless in your thoughts and prayers because they need us. Take care.
