Opportunities You've Been Given (week 47)

52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge

When I first started thinking about what to write for this post, I thought about the amazing places I’ve been on vacation.  I’ve been lucky enough to view active volcanoes on 3 continents, which is something I feel very thankful for!  I’ve toured Scotland, Ireland, Israel, Greece, Hawaii, the Caribbean, and many other places. 

But, bla bla bla. 

There’s an opportunity that I relish even more.  MUCH more.  That is the opportunity to raise this amazing young man who chose me to be his mother.  In doing that, it’s been more rewarding than any fancy trip, and more educational than a fancy college would have been.  Watching him grow and change every day, has helped me to grow and change with him, and for him.  He is autistic.  He is unique and beautiful and his mind amazes me.  Even though he’s 8, I still watch him sleep sometimes, to look at his beautiful, peaceful face and wonder what he’s dreaming about.  I have a feeling that I always will, except, probably, when he’s grown and married, because that would be weird.  Haha.

 

THIS is the opportunity that, although it give me the most stress sometimes, is the most rewarding.

Being a MOMMY. HIS Mommy!

Love and Peace,

My Sexy Saturday #MSS168

This week's "My Sexy Saturday" theme is "My Sexy Holidays".  My paranormal novella "Under the Granite Lies" which was a finalist in the "I Heart Indie" contest, covers the timeline between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day.  

Here is the blurb:

Lauren Madison’s life started unraveling at a speed too fast for her to keep up with. Every truth was torn away, and the pieces that were left painted no clear pictures at all…only more confusion.
 
The pillar of strength in her fragile life was David Wagner, her bodyguard who was placed in witness protection, and she was to have no more contact with him. But, what had he seen that day, and why couldn’t she remember?

She had no choice but to run. And if her life was threatened again, who would be there to protect her?

Technology (week 46)

52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge

Love it or hate it, it’s not going away.  Technology is embedded in our daily routines almost as sure as breathing.

 

I see it as both good and bad.  The good part is that it has made so many things in our lives easier than they ever have been.  Remember the old days before Google, when you couldn’t remember the same of a movie or a song, and it would drive you nuts for days?  Then, finally, usually at some inopportune moment, you’d remember and triumphantly yell out “it was Busta Rhymes!” in the otherwise quiet grocery store while shopping for melons?  Well, maybe some of you still remember (and some of you are probably Googling who Busta Rhymes is).

So, is it a good thing to have such immediate access to information, or has it made us lazy?

A bad side to this information overload is the fact that there are so many input sources for internet news, that there is almost no filter as to what is accurate.  As evidenced in our recent election, no matter which candidate you wanted, you could no doubt find positive and negative spins on each.  The truth was hidden.  Not meaning to make this a political post, just want to illustrate how an overload of information can complicate things.

I challenge you to turn off all devices at least 4 hours one afternoon this week.  See what you can accomplish the good fashioned way, without technology.  And that means the TV too!

Good luck!

Love and Peace,

My Sexy Saturday #MSS167

This week's "My Sexy Saturday" theme is "Sexy in the Sky".  Perfect timing, as I've just redesigned the cover for my short story "The Plane Truth".  99cents, always has been, always will be.  

Here is the blurb:

What would you do if you thought you were going to die, and you were strapped into a seat next to the person that might be the love of your life, especially if you had never told them how you felt?

Locked in their seats, Emily and Aiden are forced to face life and death together after fate throws a lightning bolt their way.
