Good morning to all. It is eight-thirty here in Dalton, Georgia with a gray cloudy sky. My husband just left to go to a doctor's appointment and I am here working on my list. I was pleased with yesterday because I completed the majority of my list and still manage to have time for my husband. It is going to be a trial and error thing right now until I can perfect it and get on the normal routine. Once I have it memorized, things will move quicker and then there will be more time for pleasure activities.
Sorry, I had to walk away for a minute to take care of my dogs and sweep and mop the house. I have taken all of my lists and combined them into one to simplify things for me and keep my stress level down. My sugars are running high due to stress, I think. I stayed in my room pretty much all day yesterday and my sugars ran normal and I even had a bought of hypoglycemia again. I will get it regulated eventually.
Well, time to finish working. I have another short story to write for my erotica book and some other things. I hope everyone has an awesome Friday and "Happy Birthday" to all those who are another year older today. May you all have many more to come. Please keep the homeless in your thoughts and prayers during the cold season. Also, we have obtained a passenger bus for Hope Station to accommodate traveling with supplies and eventually when our program of the tiny community gets set up we will be able to transport people back and forth to work. So, "Yay" for us. It is another milestone for Hope Station USA, so please pray for the funding we need to get the project off the ground and begin building. Take care.

12/22/2019- Happy Birthday to Me

Hello everyone. Today is my birthday and I am forty-nine years old. I do not look or feel that old. It is my day off from house cleaning and cooking, so they need to figure something out for dinner. I have been sitting here with my husband since we got up. I have a plan to relax and write today and nothing else. I have no more birthday cake left and don't know what else to do.
I have plans to make cookies over the next couple of days and also watching my sugar which has been running good numbers. My husband takes really good care of me and makes sure that I stay on my medication and do what I am supposed to do. I love him for that because no one really cared about me so much.
I will be working on my addictions book today and hope to have it completed by the end of the month and ready for publishing on Amazon. I feel confident that my books will help people and make their lives better. It is a part of me and my life with addictions. If I can overcome them then I know that anyone can overcome them with just a little support from friends and family.
Well, I will let you go from here and I want to enjoy the rest of my day. "Happy Birthday" to others who join me in celebration of our day. For the rest of you, I hope that you have a blessed day and many more to come. Please join me in keeping the homeless in our thoughts and prayers. Take care.

It is a beautiful day here in Bethel Springs, Tennessee with the sun coming up over the tree line and my husband already outside burning tree stumps to clear them from the path of our house being built. Hello everyone. I got up this morning to a fresh cup of coffee and a smiling husband. It has been difficult these past few days with it being the end of the month and we are running out of things.

Our car has enough gas to go to town, but not return. We have run out of generator gas and almost out of weed eater gas which puts us at a stand still on clearing the property. We did manage to get the front yard taken care of for curb appeal and most of what we have cleared already. I ran the weed eater yesterday while my husband was burning piles of brush. I must say that I got a little too much sun and my arms and shoulders are a bit burned, so there will be no working outside for me today.

Our food rations are depleted except the one can of soda I have remaining and enough food to make a goulash for dinner. We both have been losing weight and the energy levels are low. My husband was hypoglycemic yesterday and I needed to give him some of my glucose tablets to help raise his sugar. We have no way of getting to any of the food banks for food because of our gas issue and my husband’s pride can be an issue with asking for help. He reminds me we are not a charity case.

Our neighbors filled out IBC totes back up with water for us the other day so there will water to drink, but no food. I have written my father asking for help to buy food but haven’t gotten an answer yet. Things look grim for us and my husband is afraid we will lose too much weight especially with me being diabetic. My sugars have been running very low and he fears that something will happen to me. We are running on fumes and don’t know how to take a day off because there is so much to do around here. We just have to get to the 29^th of the month to see any money.

What we have left to do while our gas has been depleted is burn all the brush we have piled up in groups which means it will get really hot and we will be drinking a lot of water. Well, it is time for me to get on to something else and I will talk again tomorrow providing I have battery life on my computer. I wish everyone an awesome hump day and a “Happy Birthday” to those who gained another year today. May you have many more to come. Take care.

Hello everyone. It is a new day here in Bethel Springs, Tennessee ad everything is beautiful after a good night’s rainstorm. My husband and I watched the electrical storm the came before the rain which I was in bed before the rain started. He told me this morning that it poured rain. I love the rain but my medication makes it difficult to stay up late.

My husband woke me up this morning as he was making coffee for us and I spent a few minutes with each of the dogs. I love my little family to death. I feel pretty good this morning and ready for the day even though my body wants to lay back down. I can’t because I have a doctor’s appointment for my foot this morning.

Upon returning home from the doctor’s office, we will be going back to work since the rain has kept us from finishing our jobs. Things will go back to normal with us working on our property and getting more things done and ready for the building process and fencing in the yard for the dogs. I have everything laid out in sketches as to what goes where and what we are building.

I can already see the big picture while my husband stresses over the bills and having no money. He has no vision or optimism as I do. He must see everything in front of him and not in imagination. That is okay because I can be optimistic for both of us.

I already see me getting up every morning and taking care of all the animals and then tending to my gardens before sitting down to write my books. It gives me the strength and motivation that I need to keep going. This will be our forever home and a place of solace for both of us. I will take pride in what we have accomplished.

We might be moving slowly right now but things are going to turn around for us in the coming months. Well, time to get ready for doctor’s appointment so I will bid you all a happy “hump” day and a blessed one. Please keep the homeless in your prayers and keep smiling. To those celebrating a birthday today, “Happy Birthday” and may you be blessed with many more. Take care.

Good morning to everyone, it is eight thirteen in the morning here in Dalton, Georgia and it has been raining throughout the night. The countdown has begun for our move and the closer it gets, the more excited I get. I have approximately half of our stuff packed in boxes and totes and hopefully tomorrow we will begin loading the trailer up with what is packed so that I can make more room to move around and pack the rest of our stuff.

I have had a weird night with waking up several times and just sitting here. I sit for about thirty minutes and then go right back to bed. It is crazy. I have been looking over our bills and things are going to be tight for next month, but they will get straightened out and we will be back on track financially.

For some good news, I just published those two manuscripts that I had been sitting on and now I have seven books published. Yay Me! I just had to share that with everyone. Now I can finish the one I have been working on and hopefully, after the editing process it will be ready for publishing. I know that while we are living on our property I will be able to get more writing done.

I have informed my husband that while up there, I will work half a day on clearing the property and then the other half goes to writing my books to which he agreed. We both know that this will be a good thing for both of us and really for me with my mental illness. He hates to see me stress so much and go through changes, so being up there by ourselves and with peace and quiet, I will be better.

I just fed my dogs and gave them their water and now it is time for me to get other things done before my doctor's appointment this morning. I get to go see my diabetes doctor today and show her how crazy my sugar has been since getting my epidural. It will be okay because I am getting it back under control again.

Well, time to get off of here and do some other things. I wish everyone a blessed Thursday and a "Happy Birthday" to those celebrating today. Take care and keep the homeless in your prayers.

Good morning everyone. It is eight-thirty-seven in the morning with cool temperatures and the sun is trying to poke it's head out. The dogs have just been let out to go potty and I am sitting here with my husband drinking our first cup of coffee together. I am still a little tired and can go back to sleep, but I won't. I am going to stay up because I have things to do today.

We finished my roommate's bedroom and got it switched around. Both of us were hurting by the time we were done. He has a four poster bed that weighs more than my husband and I together and it is a monster. We went to get something to eat after we finished the room and then I showered getting the dust off me.

We took our medications and then went to bed with the babies and I slept most of the night with only a few bathroom breaks but slept pretty good. I got up this morning with things to do. I have to do my daily house chores, make a store run, and then I will be editing one of my finished manuscripts to get it up and published.

I am slowly waking up and trying to get myself motivated to get things done. I have an article to write which is simple enough in itself and then working on my newest manuscript. I fell behind a few days on it but I will be trying to do my best at catching it up to where it should be. My coffee isn't helping right now and I need to get a refreshment so I will be right back.

Okay, I have my drink and just checked my sugar and took my insulin. I know that when I finish here I will have to go clean up the kitchen since no one in this house likes to clean. I feel like I am being used because no one will clean except my husband or me. So, I will end this here and go take care of it so that I can sit and get my stuff done.

I wish everyone a blessed Sunday and a "Happy Birthday" to those who were born on this date. May each and every one of you be blessed with many more. Take care and keep the homeless in your thoughts and prayers. Take care.

Good morning everyone. It is nine forty-seven in the morning here in Dalton, Georgia. I have been up and down just a few times during the night, but I was able to go right back to sleep. I got word yesterday from my dad that he mailed out some money to me to help with the permits needed for building on our property. I checked today and it isn't here, so we should it on Monday which will be good because we need to go back up and burn our brush piles.

We need to get them done so that we can make plans for the fence to begin being installed for the dogs. I am excited that our move will be in four weeks and then we can live a normal happy life without all of the stress. It will be a very quiet and serene living for us. I will be able to write my books and work on the land at the same time.

I will be doing a final edit on one of my books that has been sitting here shelved and getting it published either today or tomorrow. It is a fantasy about elves and ogres and more of a young adult book. I enjoy reading the story and maybe every other adult will too.

Today I will be busy cleaning and rearranging his room to make it better for him to get around in. His ex-wife came and got her things last night that were still left here and now today is the day to clean it up.

I will also be catching up on some writing from the last couple of days that I have missed and it will get me close enough to publishing it. Granted it will still have to go through the editing process, but I look forward to having it published next month.

I am slowly getting things for me done as well as taking care of the house. It has been such a stressful time since buying the new property and getting things ready for the move. I will have to get shots for all my dogs before we move and get them up to date so that we have no problems with them up there.
I know they will enjoy it because they will have their own big back yard to run around in off chains and runners. I can't wait to see their reactions.

Well, I need to get off of here and get to cleaning my roommate's room before I can shower because of the filth. I wish a blessing over everyone today and please keep the homeless in your prayers. "Happy Birthday" to those of you celebrating one today and may you be blessed with many more. Take care.

Good morning to all. How are you this fine morning? I wish that I could say that I am fine but, seriously, my shoulder is hurting really bad and has been for the last several days. I have tried everything like IcyHot, my TENS unit, and a hot shower and I am getting no relief at all. My husband swears that I have slept on it wrong, but it would normally be fine by now. It grows weak and hurts to rotate it.

I have my epidural for my lower back today and I will be asking him if he could put a shot in my shoulder to help with the pain as well. It has been causing me to lose sleep because I cannot get into a comfortable position. I had my TENS unit on for almost four hours yesterday and it hardly touched the pain. Now my arm is going weak and there is no sign of relief anywhere or anytime soon.

I slept with Prince Valium last night for my procedure today and slept like crap. I was up every couple of hours with pain in my shoulder. I am hoping that it will go away soon because I can't take too much more.

I have asked my husband if he could take my household chores today while I am sleeping off the medication from my procedure and then I can get up and begin finishing the packing of our stuff in the back room and getting the room cleaned up. I guess he will because I got no answer from him.

Today is a day for me to do very little with an epidural being placed in my lower back, but I will sleep some of it off and then be able to get up and get some writing done today. Tomorrow is the first day of May and the months seem to go by fast. Soon Christmas will be here and a new year. This year I plan to clear up a lot of debt and make it stress-free for both of us.

I will be making small payments to everyone to clear up some credit report debt and help raise our scores. I want our credit cards back down to zero balances by the new year. Everything will be good from that point on as long as it is God's will.

I will probably work on editing one of my books today if I am unable to sit here and write and have it ready to get published. I still have to pick out the cover for both of them before publishing them on Amazon. That will make seven books published and lots more to come.

I WILL be back on my schedule tomorrow with everything including my writing and get manuscripts completed as scheduled. When we move up to our property, we will hopefully be on generator power so that I can keep my laptop charged for writing, but until we get internet, I will have to drive to the nearest McDonalds for internet access to publish them.

Well, I am about to get ready to get going for my procedure and wish everyone a blessed day. "Happy Birthday" to those celebrating their birthday today and may you be blessed with many more. Keep the homeless in your thought and prayers as you go about your day. Take care.

Hello everyone. It is four thirty in the afternoon with a bright sunny day here in Dalton, Georgia. My morning was to start out nice this morning, but everyday life gets in the way every time. I could not make it to noon without a blow-up between my roommates and I and it just makes it that much easier to move away from them. Everyone here is about drama and it drives me crazy. I told my husband that if I need to get away I will check myself into the hospital.

Other than that, I just finished reorganizing my binder which holds my day's activities in it like my to-do list. I live by this binder and it gets difficult to keep to it on days when there is drama. I am waiting for the day when we get to go back up to the property where I can be calm and less stressed out. I am going to love living up there where it is peaceful and I will be able to write.

As far as my writing goes now, I changed my writing schedule again to start me back to writing on the first of May. I have a plan to write at least three-thousand words per day to stay on my schedule. I still have two books waiting to be edited and halfway through writing the next one. I am hoping that I can finish it within the time frame that I set out for it.

My motivation for writing is there, it is just trying to keep my sanity that is the problem. I have new stories popping into my head as I work on the ones that I have. I probably have enough material to write another forty to fifty books. It is okay though because I love writing and it will become my passion for the rest of my life.

Well, it is time to start dinner and feed people that are unappreciative. I hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday afternoon and to those celebrating a birthday, may you have a blessed day and many more to come. Take care.

4/17/2019

Good morning everyone. It is sixty-seven degrees and very sunny outside today. I just woke up and had my first cup of coffee and let my dogs out. I have to leave in about an hour to go to my back doctor and to pay some bills. I am a little sore today but it is manageable. The bruise over my left kidney is finally starting to go away from my fall in the bathroom but it is still a sore spot to the touch.

I ran both of my finished manuscripts through a spell check and grammar yesterday and made a few corrections and now they are ready for me to read to check for the flow of the story. So, you can say I am beginning the editing phase of those two manuscripts before publishing. That will make seven books published while I am halfway through the next manuscript.

I WILL get some writing done today and get that manuscript closer to being finished. I have fallen behind on my writing schedule due to mental health issues that have been affecting me lately. I spent quite a bit of time with my husband yesterday because I felt depressed and had no reason for it. I love how he cares for me.

I have started another article for another site and should have it submitted today as well. I feel like writing today and through my books, I can release a lot of emotions which make me feel better. Most of my stories are created because of things that I am feeling which helps me therapeutically. I always feel tied to my stories because of my mental illness and my past.

Today, I feel is going to be a good productive day for me and I like the way I feel upon waking up. My medication really has helped me sleep since being prescribed it. As far as my mental health medication go, they can't guarantee that depression or anxiety won't slip through every now and then, but I do have a lot more good days than bad since being put on new medications.

Well, my husband just made and brought me my second cup of coffee and I am enjoying it because it tastes so good this morning for some reason. Last night we sat and discussed the plans for our homestead and came up with some ideas that I have to research and get more information for. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation last night because he mostly leaves everything up to me to take care of but this time he actually put his opinions into the conversation.

Well, I must end this post now so that I can get ready to leave and I wish everyone a blessed day. For those who were born on this date, "Happy Birthday" and may you have many more. Please keep the homeless in your prayers and thoughts and do something nice for someone less fortunate today and you will be rewarded for your good deed. Take care.

Hello everyone. How are you today? I am feeling pretty good today. The weather is awesome outside and a bit breezy with the clouds moving fast across the sky. I got up and had my coffee around nine this morning and did my house cleaning. I have taken my shower and ready to sit down and write. I have to change up my tweets today to new ones to keep positive and remain that way.

My husband just returned from a visit to his sister's house and is now hanging out with me and the dogs. He has been showing them attention since I got up this morning. Things are looking good for the day and I feel good about it since my emotional break the other night.

Today's writing will include adding another two-thousand to twenty-five-thousand words to the one book I am working on, possibly doing some editing on one of my finished books, and I have been looking into submitting some short stories to magazines for a little extra cash. I know that I have to write another article for the one site that I submit to, but things are looking up.

Later in the week of the twenty-second, we will be taking another trip back up to our property to clear some more and to meet with the consultant to get our soil mapping done. We will have to get our septic permit after that, but the goal is to be able to move up there July first. Which we look forward to and while living on the property we will be able to clear more of it and start the building process of our house.

I know the first year will be the hardest, but after that, we should be able to live a little easier. Our house will be built during the first year and my giant greenhouse and outdoor garden. After that, it will be building the chicken coop, pig pen, and turkey pen. I see my little farm taking shape.

Our cabin and the new car will be paid off around the same time, which means that we can purchase the lots next to ours and expand the farm to add beef cattle and a milking cow for fresh milk. So you see, we have everything planned out. Then it will be time for the solar panels to be installed which will make our homestead fully self-sufficient.

I just spoke with my husband and I am going to draw up a five-year plan which will put in full description every stage of our becoming self-sufficient and homesteading. I look forward to everything and living a solitary life with my husband and family of animals.

Well, time to get to work and make things happen. I hope everyone has a lovely Sunday afternoon and that it be blessed with love and family. "Happy Birthday" to those born on this date and may you be blessed with many more. Take care.

Good morning everyone. It is sixty-two degrees here in Dalton, Georgia with rain showers this morning. The roommates are leaving for an overnight trip this morning so it will be just my husband and me here. My husband is still asleep and I just got up a few minutes ago and let the dogs out and fed them. I am now sitting here with my first cup of coffee trying to wake myself up all the way to get motivated.

I have plenty of things to do this morning and writing being the major part of my day next to exercising. I am going to try and get back on the treadmill today because I haven't been since the swelling of my ankles. I have a goal of forty pounds to lose by August thirty-first so that I may be able to go on my charity walk in September.

I have not worked on it for a minute because we have been working on our property stuff to get ready to move there in July. We have plenty of things to do to get it ready for the move and plus I have to get tables set up for Hope Station to collect donations and writing grant proposals for our project funding. So, there is plenty to do.

I am going to be working on my diabetes menu today and going through the cabinets to see what food we do have and what needs to be bought when our food stamps do come in. The caseworker has been playing around and she missed our phone interview so we didn't get our food stamps on the eleventh like we were supposed to. So, now I have to make do with what we do have in the house if anything at all that I can eat.

Today's writing goal is to have another twenty-five hundred to five thousand words written in one book and begin the editing process of another already finished one. I know that I can do it since it will be nice and quiet around here.

Well, it is time to get going on things and my husband needs his coffee. I hope that everyone has an awesome and blessed day. "Happy Birthday" to those who were born on this date and may you be blessed with many more. Let's also show our support for Hope Station USA by making a donation which is clicking one of the links below. Take care.

Good morning to all. It is seven forty-seven in the morning here in Dalton, Georgia. It is a bit chilly in the thirties but we have a forecast of upper sixties and seventies today which is nice weather. I have been up since five-thirty and took my friend to work for seven. I am feeling okay but still feel a little stressed about things because of it being close to us moving even though it is two months away.

Today, I will be working on my schedule but my husband and I need to take a trip to the Social Security Administration to update our direct deposit first. Everything is a work in progress it seems and everyone's stress levels are moderate.

My apologies, we just got back from social security and the bank so everything is straightened out. I also just finished the housework and now I can get some writing stuff done. Did everyone see yesterday's post about the FREE copy of my latest book? Until Friday you can get the ebook for FREE and I know everyone likes free things, I know I do.

Well, it feels good today knowing my mind is a little clearer and I am in control of my day now. I have a book to work on still, some editing of a finished book, and some marketing strategies to go over and this is all within my writing day, but as far as everything else is concerned, I have some nonprofit stuff to do too.

Well, we are getting into the afternoon and I need to get stuff going. I hope everyone has an awesome day and a blessed one. "Happy Birthday" to those who were born on this date and may you have many more. Take care.

3/30/2019

Good morning all you early risers on this Saturday morning. It is four fifty-four in the morning and I am sitting here with my husband having coffee. I got quite a bit of writing done yesterday and will get more done today. It looks promising that I will have this next book done by Monday morning and be right on schedule. It is coming done to the next scene of the book which to me is exciting.

I am working on my schedule right now to get a lot done for the day, but because I am up so early I will need a nap this afternoon and that will be getting my dogs back on their schedule too because they have a quiet time nap time with me during the afternoon for a couple of hours. Then, they go back outside to play and be dogs.

I have plenty of things to do and one is posting about my new promotion that begins on Monday and runs through until Friday where my latest book will be free on Amazon. I will be pushing that today on Twitter and Facebook so that everyone can get their copy of it. It is a four book series about a woman becoming a vampire to be with her true love and queen of his country to rule on the throne.

This will be a busy week for me to come because I need to set up tables for my nonprofit to raise funds so that we may be able to keep services going while raising money for our new project that will help end hunger and homelessness and for them to regain their self-sufficiency. We need funding and I have to get it in gear to research foundations that will help fund the project.

Yes, I will be very busy writing books which a percentage of royalties will go to the nonprofit, raising money for the services of the nonprofit, and setting up donation tables, plus searching out funding for the new project that will greatly benefit the community and the homeless. We have had a good response from many of the homeless that will benefit from the project which will be a program that they will graduate from.

So many things to work on with very little time to get it all done, but I am strong enough to handle it all. I have a total of three books in the editing phase that will be ready for publishing soon. I have a lot of books to write and look forward to each one's story. I find bits of myself in the story and it makes it worth writing. Such good therapy for an individual with mental illness.

Well, I will end this post here and get started on other things. I hope everyone has an awesome Saturday and that you will be blessed. Everyone born on this date I want to wish a "Happy Birthday" and may you have many more. Take care.

P.S- Please show your support for our organization on ending hunger and homelessness by clicking a link below and making a donation. We need for all our communities to pull together to get this project up and going to assist the homeless in regaining their self-sufficiency.

Good morning everyone. It is seven twenty-six in the morning here in Dalton, Georgia and I have not seen outside yet but I know that it is thirty-eight degrees outside and a bit chilly. We have been up since six this morning. I have plenty of things to do today and writing being one of them. I am making preparations still for our move and getting things ready and also making preparations for Hope Station USA.

I know that I need to get back on the treadmill and workout in order to do the charity walk in September and I need to begin making phone calls to set up tables for donations. I need to get that done.

Sorry for my absence, I laid back down with my husband for a bit and fell asleep. Anyway, I have got some things to do. I have some articles to write for journals and I have to finish working on my book. I plan on having it done next Monday and starting on the next one Tuesday. I have to balance my writing with everything else and these are the things that are important for me to get done.

I wish everyone an awesome day and to everyone born on this date, "Happy Birthday" and may you have many more.

Good morning everyone. It is eight forty-six in the morning here in Dalton with gray skies outside. My husband and I are drinking our first cup of coffee and I just fed the dogs and got them outside. We have an appointment with his lawyer this morning to get the rest of his money owed and then I am coming back home to get back into my writing.

I have a week left to get one of my books finished since I had to change my schedule around. So now I can get back on schedule and have some more books ready for editing. I still have two being edited now. I lost my motivation for a minute because of having to buy our property and then taking trips there to begin the clearing process so that we can build our home.

Now, I have to make things work together so that both can be done. I know it won't be easier said than done, but I will remain positive through it all. Working together with my husband should make it easier with clearing the property and right now we are just clearing the space where the house and septic system will be going since it all has to be inspected.

Well, I will make this post short due to getting ready to leave for our appointment. I wish everyone a blessed and awesome day. "Happy Birthday" to everyone born on this date. May you have many more to come. Take care.

3/19/2019

Good morning everyone! It is such a lovely day here today and I just got back from the endocrinologist which is going to be taking over my diabetes care. I will also have diet management too. I just got the dogs fed and they are happy now, and I just got off the phone calling about our cabin that will be placed on our property in Tennessee at the end of May. I just gave them the specifics of what size and they build to suit. So, things are moving nicely there.

I have been busy helping around the house with everyone cleaning and getting ready to set up the pool too. I have my list of stuff that needs to get done by tomorrow, but that is fine because I can do it. I am going to be looking into getting a paid ad out for my books which hopefully will boost sales. There are so many things to do so I won't hold everyone up this morning with a really long post, but I do want to update everyone on my progress.

I am here taking care of things while my husband went to his sister's house for a visit. I would have gone too but I need to get things done here for myself since it has been all about the house the last couple of days. I need to get back into my writing.

I had to change my writing schedule again to make sure everything hits my schedule on time. I hate being thrown off schedule and having to change things again. I am back to working on one book with two in the editing phase and one more waiting to be finished after this current one I am working on.

I am still pushing my nonprofit stuff as well. I need to get some things done for it. We are hoping to have the funding for the new project by the end of the year so that we can break ground on building the new community for the homeless and help them begin their journey to self-sufficiency. It will be a momentous occasion for us.

Well, let me get off here and get things going so that I can have some free time for my husband when he gets home. I hope everyone has an awesome day and "Happy Birthday" to everyone born on this date. May you have many more to come.

Good morning everyone. How are you this morning? "Happy Friday" to all. the weekend is here and it is time to celebrate good times, come on. It is nice and sunny here with the temperatures in the sixties. The dogs were just put out in the back yard and I just took all my medications and insulins. Once I get done writing this post, it will be time to get on the treadmill for my first walk today.

I woke up feeling pretty bad this morning where I stayed in bed until about eleven when I could actually get up. I had been up and down all night and felt like crap. I have things to get done and I can not afford to let things get in the way like being sick.

Today will be a good positive day if it kills me. I will be getting a lot of writing done today and tomorrow to have more books ready for editing. I am excited about getting the second book in my "How I Survived" series done and it will be full of great information for everyone. It is on addictions.

I hope everyone will have an awesome day and be blessed with whatever your hands touch. I need to get going and I wish for everyone to have a great day and be safe. "Happy Birthday" to those who were born on this date and may you have many more.

I know that this post is a little shorter than normal, but after posting last night, I need to get other things done today. Please show your support by clicking a link below and making a donation to help end homelessness and hunger. Take care.

Good morning everyone. How are you? I am doing okay this morning just having a small cold that I have been battling for the last couple of days. Sorry for not being here yesterday, but had to run errands since we finally got our checks and had to go pay bills and all with late fees. Then, we had to go run an errand for a friend who was busy with what else I don't know.

It is ten nineteen in the morning, fifty degrees outside, and very rainy. There was a thunderstorm most of the night and yesterday it was difficult driving with heavy rain and flooding going on, but we made it. I am enjoying my first cup of coffee and I have taken all of my medications and insulin. With errands and me not feeling so good, it has been difficult focusing and concentrating on any writing.

Today I just have one errand to run and that is to the bank to make a withdrawal and then to the store to pick up some cleaning supplies. I feel like crap, but hopefully, it gets better. I am still currently working on two manuscripts at once. I work on one during the day and the second one in the evening. I am hopeful that both will be done by next Saturday. That would make four books in the editing process and then publishing them.

My sugar is still out of whack and I have an appointment this coming week for an insulin pump to be given to me to help with my battle of diabetes. I began my charity walk training the other day and I am walking every day even in the rain because during the walk it will not always be sunny, so I train in the elements as well.

I am looking forward to the walk and my GoFundMe account just became live, so show your support by making a donation. I want to raise homelessness awareness, raise money for food and supplies during the walk, as well as raising money for the new project that we think will be a huge benefit to the homeless and the communities they live in.

I will be interviewing homeless individuals during the walk and placing their story in a book that I will be writing in November because I want everyone to get to know these individuals' story of why they became homeless. Not everyone out there is homeless because of drugs and alcohol. I will be making this journey for myself as well to do a thorough cleanse of things from within myself. There are some things that I need to let go of and this walk will make it possible.

I have the support of my husband on everything, but I am always met with adversity even in the home we live in. Being made fun of and told it is stupid to walk doesn't do a lot for me mentally, but I know that I can do this and that it will change things tremendously in our communities. We need, and the homeless need this new project to make them feel human again and get back to work.

Well, I need to go and get things done for today so I will publish this post now. Thank you so much for listening and we appreciate you. To anyone making a donation, thank you from the bottom of my heart. The homeless thanks you and appreciates it very much. Just remember to click the link below to make a donation.

I wish everyone an awesome day and keep those sleeping outside in your thoughts and prayers. I wish everyone a "Happy Birthday" that was born on this date and may you have many more. Take care.

Happy March to everyone! We are already three months into this new year and soon the holidays will be upon us again. So, how is everyone doing today? It is Friday and the weekend is here again. Do you have any plans for the weekend? I plan on sitting here and writing my next book.

Our checks got screwed up this month because the agent we went down to see got our account number wrong and now we have to wait until the bank sends it back and then for the Social Security Administration to resend it, so it could be a week before we see our money and that means all of our bills are going to be rejected at the bank which is going to cause all kinds of fees. We could be so lucky. :(

Last night I sat here and gathered all my information for our nonprofits new program and started putting together a grant proposal. It will take a lot of work but I believe it to be a huge benefit to the community. It would be one giant step to assist the homeless in getting off the streets and becoming self-sufficient. I have created a crowdfunding account and hopefully, we will begin getting donors to help us fund this project.

Other than that, it has been raining here in Dalton, Georgia for several days and it is still raining. It is one of those days where you just want to stay in bed and sleep. My husband went back to bed, the dogs are sleeping with him, and I am sitting here getting some things done. I have to play catch up on a couple days as far as the certain things that needed to be done.

Basically, it is just writing a short story for an erotica book I am working on, a couple of articles that need to be submitted, some editing on one of my books to get it ready for publishing, and then a short story for another book which will become a freebie in exchange for an email address.

Then the rest of what day I have left will be my free time, but I don't know what that is, lol. A writer's life is never dull and boring, nor is it never finished because there is always something to do or finish.

Well, time to get started so that I can get everything completed. I wish everyone a happy and safe Friday and a very "Happy Birthday" to everyone that was born on this date. Take care and do something nice for someone less fortunate today.
