Exciting News!: "Love Letters"

So do you all remember the guy from my "30 Day Challenge: I know, I know" blog post. The guy that I didn't want to mention for fear that I would somehow jinx it. Well , maybe I was right. I hate when I'm right.
I won't get into the when, why & how , yet. See every man that has ever came in my life has resulted in the release of some kind of creative venture for me . I don't know why, but pain and passion is synonymous for me; I create best when I'm hurt. And this time is no different.

I give you the birth of my first book ,  "Love Letters I Would Have Sent" (If I thought you would read them.)

This book is an ode to all the men I thought I loved before and a look at how each of the lessons I have learned from them has made me who I am. I am excited but also nervous to be so open and honest about the hurt and the healing that has taken place. But I am confident that my pain will be someone else's breakthrough. I write to inspire and encourage you to love like you've never been hurt because each new person is a new beginning. I don't want to give away too much and I won't be doing too much marketing for this book either because it's not about the money. I just want to tell my story , at least the part of it that has already been written. I pray that you support this new chapter, no pun intended , of my life as I embark on a journey of learning to love, again. Be sure to check out my official website for any updates regarding the book and other events I will be apart of ! As of right now the set release date is 7/25/2016 , which is also my birthday <3 I can't wait for you to read this book!

P.S A special thank you to my most recent "Almost Doesn't Count," you inadvertently , made this book possible. And I'll always love you for that.

30 Day Challenge: Day Seven

Day Seven: Do you read? What are your favorite books?


How funny is it that both my blogs writing challenge for today is about books? Maybe that's the confirmation I needed to re-start my book club :) And don't worry , I won't copy and paste my other post here! For all those who read both my blogs, I love you all enough to give you different content:)


Do I read? Of course I do! Love it! Now do I have enough time in a day to read as much as I would like ? No, of course not. That would be too much like right ha-ha. But reading takes me to places I otherwise wouldn't be able to go. Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I am a sucker for a good love story , but I seriously will read any good story regardless of genre. I'll give you all my Top Ten (for right now) , in no particular order.


1. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green (TEARJERKER)
2.  Fifty Shades of Grey by E L James(My Inner Spirit Woman recommends it )
3. Detoured Destiny by Jessica Davenport ( So Inspiring!)
4.  A White Romance by Virginia Hamilton ( A bit of my Jungle Fever was born from this book)
5. The Bible ( because WORD)
6. The Entire Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyers ( yes I'm THAT girl)
7. GirlBoss by Sophia Amoruso( Yes Sophia! 
8. The Good Woman by Danielle Steel (True example of the strength women possess)
9. A Child Call It by David Pelzer (Sheesh, you just have to read it )
10. I cannot for the life of me think of this title so I'm going to leave this in its space until I figure it out.  

Like I said , this is just for now and I'm sure it'll change once I get back to reading like I really would like to . There are a few that probably won't change, but I guess I'll have to find out !
