The reviews are starting to come in, and so far they are all very positive which makes me smile. I'm just happy that we got it out relatively on time and that it is now in readers hands. </p><p>If you've read anything in my Wild Romance series, you've already met Becky, since she's a supporting character in Wild Country Hearts and Wild Imaginings. Now she gets to tell her story and we find out how hard life has been for her since her husband's death, three years ago. </p><p>As for Frank, well we all knew he was a bit of an odd duck when we met him in Wild Imaginings. But now we know why. He's spent his whole life trying to be the perfect son to make his mother happy but now he's ready to forge his own path. Especially when he runs into his high school crush while visiting his uncle. </p><p>I've really enjoyed creating this small town world and hope you fall in love with Frank and Becky as I have. Grab a copy of their book, <a href="https://books2read.com/u/4jLXjZ" target="_blank">Wild Awakening</a>, and read their story for yourself.

Love should never factor into it as love can fade, but good family connections with the right people do not. </p><p>Persuasion has always been my favorite Jane Austin book. Probabaly because there is something about Anne that reminds me of myself. How easily influenced I was in my youth to do things that were not always in my best interest and lived to regret them. </p><p>If you don't already know the story, Persuasion is about Anne Elliot who turned down a proposal from the man she loved when she was seventeen because he did not come from money. She didn't want to turn him down, but was persuaded by her late mother's best friend to do so for her 'best interest'. The book opens with Anne, now 27, still unmarried and absolutely miserable. She puts on a good show for her friends and family, who never suspect how lonely she is. She misses her Captain terribly, and while has had decent proposals from others could not bring herself to marry them.</p><p>Now Captain Wentworth, whom when he was courting her was considered to be so ineligible, has made his fortune and returned in search of a bride. But will that be Anne? </p><p>There is something terribly romantic about a second chance at love with someone who your heart never quite forgot. I think that's why I've always loved this story. And while I felt Netflix's version told the story in a more updated way, for me at least, it lost none of the underlying heartache and sadness that is at the core of Anne's character. </p><p>There has been a lot of outrage on the part of the Jane Austin purists because this version does not strickly follow the book and Anne talks directly to the camera. But in my opinion it makes the story easier to understand. In the original version, there were certain elements of the story that confused me when I first read it. The romance was always easy enough to determine, but the other moving parts of the book with the other characters at times confused me. Mostly because of how society worked and at times the way the book and several movie versions played out made it difficult to follow unless you were well versed in the culture of the time. </p><p>This version lays out things in a manner easy to understand and follow. Sure, it's updated to make it more relatable, but it loses nothing from the story itself, and in my opinion adds quite a lot to it. </p><p>If you haven't already had a chance to watch it, I highly recommend you do. Laugh and cry with Anne as she gets the chance to win back the man whose heart she broke when she was influenced to give him up. It is currently on Netflix. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744825418820379200.post-51981845069350005762022-05-11T23:25:00.008-04:002022-05-11T23:28:11.186-04:00Enter to Win a Signed Copy!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0vVDFvNV8Pw_yd_ugou0_eKOU-ysG_jzTkFIF5nowuANVbUGJPdlR-6MuzDeo7RE1k4CUakYV5t-B_CxqiNzeXkaP0hg6Cluen_dfabcOzPY1qQ8E5cMOBVuyNHZN5z4fdQlCN1-MFcYnCNx8VgmoU9WcJkd0ohpnzI0PvjYeciCWoVOv35mdiDbqw/s1200/BookBrushImage-2022-5-6-11-1825.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="457" data-original-width="1200" height="153" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM0vVDFvNV8Pw_yd_ugou0_eKOU-ysG_jzTkFIF5nowuANVbUGJPdlR-6MuzDeo7RE1k4CUakYV5t-B_CxqiNzeXkaP0hg6Cluen_dfabcOzPY1qQ8E5cMOBVuyNHZN5z4fdQlCN1-MFcYnCNx8VgmoU9WcJkd0ohpnzI0PvjYeciCWoVOv35mdiDbqw/w400-h153/BookBrushImage-2022-5-6-11-1825.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div data-block="true" data-editor="437b7" data-offset-key="8a8b0-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="8a8b0-0-0" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;"><span data-offset-key="8a8b0-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Author's Note:</b></span></div></div><div data-block="true" data-editor="437b7" data-offset-key="9ld7a-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="9ld7a-0-0" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;"><span data-offset-key="9ld7a-0-0" style="font-family: inherit;">I'm thrilled to announce the Signed Book giveaway for Wild Country Hearts paperback!!

Peter will do anything to keep her safe, including give up touring with his band. </p><p>In the words of one Amazon Reviewer, this story is suspenseful, steamy and keeps you on the edge of your seat! </p><p>This book will be available as a PAPERBACK in May, so all of you who insist on having a book in hand will be able to get a copy soon. I've also been asked to consider doing a couple of in person book signings at local bookstores. My team is working to see if we can make that happen, but no promises yet. </p><p>Stay tuned for more details and happy reading!</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744825418820379200.post-84996649870346309012022-03-18T13:50:00.004-04:002022-03-18T13:50:52.179-04:00Pre-Release Sale! <p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://books2read.com/u/bWQkez" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="1200" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiz0Zmw3MQTZf_v001Ignr1Z4OrRavnFYT9JY48bfDAHdc0VwCrzFkcNrpzkAiNfHUbNwqxSDfeyTKpK680UxntvsjL3xuiB2OBzTfUwsldJYhpg5QAk7uEc20QtqE7CsiES1ri4F-hqLV3N6wP5fh_uz6_uXdbAz5EsWTtrASbG3-7OSz6qgz_HXEabQ=w400-h209" width="400" /></a></div>Happy Spring! <p></p><p>Well, almost spring anyway. Here in Maine we're at that stage where the snow isn't quite gone, mud is everywhere and flowers seem possible. Today it's in the 60's, the sun is shining and the weather report says SNOW ON SATURDAY? As my mother loves to say, 'You can't have everything!' </p><p>Because I'm so excited to finally have completed it, and my publisher said I could, I'm able to offer my newest release, coming on March 31, 2022, for $.99 until release day! If you've already started reading the series and wanted to get in on this offer before the price goes up after release day, now is the time! My publisher was pretty gumpy about me asking if we could do this, so grab it while you can! </p><p>This book is available whereever you read - Kobo, Kindle, Apple, Nook and a few more I'm sure I've forgotten. </p><p><a href="https://books2read.com/u/bWQkez" target="_blank">Wild Betrayal</a> is the final installment of Peter & Kristina's love story, where they almost don't get the happily ever after when the killer who murdered her mother comes after her too! Will she manage to save herself and finally accept Peter's proposal, or will she be the next victim of a ruthless killer? </p><p>Prepare yourself for some twists you may, or may not, see coming in the exciting conclusion of Peter and Kristina's story. </p><p>Stay tuned - the paperback copy of the full story will be announced shortly as well as the box eBook set. </p><p>Happy Reading!</p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744825418820379200.post-10790143916373849962022-02-14T10:22:00.000-05:002022-02-14T10:22:33.638-05:00Valentine's Day Getaway<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEimHBdVIS0GHwvZNnkOJbwIzJCnNjnSPB4tPgdg1I_7GTskf1eBUdIOnCNymMt9vCLLVV7pdUibQrHqkmyw41xUP-QL47VB4IU34diecWD4vnzYlRspxHXupu0v0QcpSvYXZisbSkgxo6lw2Kvcjus0wpIP6-t1YNPr4DkIQumQx6OwJxvYOtdJMjlDqQ=s820" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="312" data-original-width="820" height="153" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEimHBdVIS0GHwvZNnkOJbwIzJCnNjnSPB4tPgdg1I_7GTskf1eBUdIOnCNymMt9vCLLVV7pdUibQrHqkmyw41xUP-QL47VB4IU34diecWD4vnzYlRspxHXupu0v0QcpSvYXZisbSkgxo6lw2Kvcjus0wpIP6-t1YNPr4DkIQumQx6OwJxvYOtdJMjlDqQ=w400-h153" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">It's Valentines Day.

I'm so grateful to be here, having survived my personal bout with Covid-19 when my family and I all got it in October. It seemed like everyone I knew all got it around the same time, but thankfully we are all still here. I know many were not as lucky, and so I feel very thankful. </p><p>Now to get down to what we've got planned for the coming year. </p><p>I know it's been a long time coming, but my publishing company is almost ready to announce the release dates for books 3 & 4 of my Wild Romance (Springfield Small Town Romance) series! Peter and Kristina's story comes to a Wild conclusion, with a few twists you may or may not see coming, in Book Three. </p><p>You may have noticed that we updated the covers for <a href="https://buy.bookfunnel.com/kqpna29ibt" target="_blank">Wild Country</a> and <a href="https://buy.bookfunnel.com/yxw9itj1u0" target="_blank">Wild Heart</a> to be more in line with the genre of steamy contemporary romance. </p><p>Once the conclusion of Peter and Kristina's story is published as an eBook, it will be bound together with parts one and two and will be available in print as a full length single novel! I'm so excited to have that available for readers who prefer paperback books. The paperback cover reveal and title will be announced shortly. </p><p>Book Four sets up Frank and Becky's romance, where you'll encounter characters you've met in the first books and be introduced to more Springfield residents. If you've read <a href="https://buy.bookfunnel.com/2lq7t2a1bp" target="_blank">Wild Imaginings </a>(technically Book Five) already, then you've already met Frank and Becky. Book Six is the conclusion of Frank and Becky's story, and will also have more from Mark and Holly (<a href="https://buy.bookfunnel.com/2lq7t2a1bp" target="_blank">Wild Imaginings</a>). </p><p>I can't forget about Agatha! I'm currently working on her backstory and expanding Emma's Wish (Newsletter Sign-up Free Novella) into a full-length book. I'll give you more details on these upcoming projects soon. </p><p>I'm also planning to take <a href="https://buy.bookfunnel.com/yax0dq7mgg" target="_blank">Man Out of Time </a>out of Kindle Unlimited and release it to a wider audience in April, so if you use Kindle Unlimited and want to read it for free, better grab it while you still can! </p><p>Thank you for your patience as I complete these books. My commitment to quality makes my process slower than I would like. </p><p>If you haven't already, <a href="https://dl.bookfunnel.com/8ky8q08bh8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sign up for my Newsletter</a> so you don't miss out when I announce new releases. You'll get a<a href="https://dl.bookfunnel.com/8ky8q08bh8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> FREE copy of my Novella Emma's Wish</a> as my gift to you. Be aware that I send out a newsletter every Friday and most weeks I'll send out promotions with other authors so you can discover other excellent books, just in time to help you relax for the weekend! You'll have the opportunity to choose what types of emails you prefer to recieve from me and of course you can unsubscribe at anytime if you change your mind. </p><p>In conclusion, I'd like to thank you, my readers, for your continued support. I appreciate each and every one of you and hope that you continue to enjoy my books for years to come. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><a href="https://dl.bookfunnel.com/8ky8q08bh8" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="6912" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgA0SHI7R4OpJT5P4yY8kleRZxBi3hq8xeeSD1AxagjpPYNZ_fTMXdgKJh8uq_NWknUvFRf9Q4UGs7stSjL42E-81oAwFhavncWrL0ALJGkmwJoH-LGhck3Zmu2aFIwHlEh2QswOtxgGBuDugRo-iL1IVVDjWihfSbsx-GJQbWz05ONQpDEavIk0sw8dw=w400-h200" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744825418820379200.post-53222512128424682992021-09-30T07:30:00.002-04:002022-01-11T23:54:04.880-05:00Wild Heart Release Today!! <p> Let's Celebrate! <a href="https://buy.bookfunnel.com/yxw9itj1u0" target="_blank">Wild Heart</a>, book two of Peter and Kristina's story is out today! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh_1RkppNpkGUeWnbTmWMv_sMnAEu6nVw7kPq_FaujcLsivrg-uB1dlHtHQc_goMaKcTo8wyIdP16UJrFV3AK5XeKTBD2Ibt6QGXSYJ0alpRFonzcH-9j0KuPwXTD341G0Uek1JGY1DOW6nWNnyJ3yYYyUa12ONfR9Zt17OsB0VwXpSF7Pk_RP3iTN1Xw=s1080" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh_1RkppNpkGUeWnbTmWMv_sMnAEu6nVw7kPq_FaujcLsivrg-uB1dlHtHQc_goMaKcTo8wyIdP16UJrFV3AK5XeKTBD2Ibt6QGXSYJ0alpRFonzcH-9j0KuPwXTD341G0Uek1JGY1DOW6nWNnyJ3yYYyUa12ONfR9Zt17OsB0VwXpSF7Pk_RP3iTN1Xw=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></div><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;"><b>Playboy superstar fall in love?

Part two will be here September 30th! (Cue squeals and happy dances!) <p></p><p>Peter and Kristina were supposed to be a one hit wonder - meaning just a quick, fun read and on to the next book. But they had other ideas. For one thing, Peter can't get Kristina out of his mind. The groupies he used to think were fun now seem trashy and way too easy. Where's the fun in that? </p><p>As for Kristina, she doesn't have time to think about Peter, she has too much work to do around the stable. But something is bothering her about her mother's death. And her stepbrother, Roger is acting really creepy. </p><p>Of course Peter comes back, just in time to help her save the day. The story also features characters who are in other books in the series, like Cassidy, Becky, and Holly.

Springfield is a fictional town I made up. I needed to have a place where all my characters for this series could live. It's a small town in New England. Could it be Massachusetts? Sure. Could it be in Maine? Absolutely. Or in New Hampshire or Connecticut or Vermont. Not New York, but you get the idea. It's small town New England. And even though there are real towns in New England that have that name, my town is Fictional, just like the disclaimer says. <div><br /></div><div>When I started the Wild Romance series, I was pretty sure I wanted it to be a steamy romance series. Then I realized parts of it might have christian elements, but that I wasn't going to compromise on the steamy. Voila! Introducing the Steamy Contemporary Christian Romance. Unfortunately, there isn't a category for that in Amazon, or anywhere else. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to create it. Apparently I love a challenge. </div><div><br /></div><div>This series is all about people you can relate to. Sure, they're fictional, but they're based on people and places in real life. One of my biggest pet peeves when reading Christian Romance was how they always stop short of the 'goods', so to speak. Just when I'm getting excited for the characters to discover each other that whole part of life is avoided and glossed over behind closed doors. Some readers like that. Some don't. I don't. I want to follow the whole journey. If a reader doesn't want to, they can always skip the naughty parts. (Wink) </div><div><br /></div><div>Where did I come up with the 'Wild' idea? It all started when I was a kid in church. All the gossips, and yes there were many of them, would whisper about the 'wild' daughter of so and so and how those miniskirts were taking her straight to hell. The sad part was she was the sweetest person and one of my best friends growing up. She wasn't wild at all, she was just exploring life outside the 'safe' confines of the church. I thought if I could take the idea that these couples weren't really doing anything wrong but according to church gossips they were 'Wild' and 'out of control', then it might make my series more relatable and realistic. </div><div><br /></div><div>Starting with Mark and Holly's story there will be six books overall. At least that's what I've planned so far. Who knows how many I'll actually write after those are completed. You can read Wild Imaginings now on Amazon and starting July 14th, 2020 it will be available wherever books are sold online. You can also get a print copy on Amazon or by reaching out to me. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744825418820379200.post-9260633823131010662020-06-12T10:05:00.002-04:002020-06-12T10:05:53.706-04:00Meh . . .<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br />
I'm weird. I know I am, but it doesn't stop my sense of humor from overtaking my good sense at times. Mostly I hide my weirdness from the world but, after the year that has played out so far like a badly written fantasy novel, my mind has finally snapped and I've decided to just say 'to heck with it' and write whatever comes to my mind. Not in my books, obviously, I still want you guys to like them. But here on my blog. This cartoon sums up my feelings perfectly for the last book I've written. That's when I realized that I don't do it for anyone but me. I want the books to be perfect and if readers find them and love them, then that's awesome but if no one does, then I won't let it define my writing.<br />
<br />
I've always thought I loved writing romance, but as I've gotten older I think I like writing all kinds of different things and while romance will always be my first love, don't be surprised if you see me dive into fantasy or women's fiction where romance isn't the focal point of the book. The woman's journey to find herself is. Today's world has a lot of differences and being from a small town in Maine, there is a lot of things going on that I don't really identify with. But something we all identify with is the journey of self discovery. No promises on how often I'll post, but I'm putting it on my schedule, just like I'm putting on my writing and editing. The next focus for me is focus. Not procrastinating. Who's with me? </div>

Well, let me clarify. I love planners, something I found I shared with fellow Indie Author, Sarra Cannon. Writing out my agenda for the week, month or quarter gives me a little thrill of hope that I will accomplish what I'm setting out to do.<br />
<br />
When I started this new journey of being a full-time author I knew that I was going to have to find a way to be disciplined in order to accomplish my goals. Organization hasn't always been my strong suit, so that was a huge priority when I started on this path. Lucky for me, Sarra has already been down that road and has helped pave the way by designing her own helpful planner for writers, which I found on Etsy.com. Created specifically for writers who follow her HB90 Quarterly plans, it's helpful for any author who is looking for a way to organize the chaos. You can find a planner for yourself at her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HeartBreathings?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=763794841" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a> .<br />
<br />
Planning wasn't the only thing I found overwhelming as a new Indie Author. Fortunately I found the help I needed by following suggestions made by fellow indie author and publisher, Sarra Cannon. She's got a YouTube Channel that is amazing for newbies, like myself. Ten years ago she started on her own journey, and has taken the time to develop a channel with all sorts of helpful tips and tricks that she's learned along the way. Without her guidance I can honestly say I would have given up a long time ago.<br />
<br />
Sarra has taken the time to create so much free content. You can find it both on her YouTube channel and in printable content on her website. But beyond that she has a class that starts on June 14-20th for learning her 90 day planning method. If you are feeling as lost as I was, then do yourself a huge favor and click on this link and <a href="https://heartbreathings.teachable.com/p/hb90-bootcamp/?affcode=145068_dhurfidw" target="_blank">SIGN UP</a> for the class. You will not regret it! <br />
<br />
If you're like me and have decided to launch your own Indie Publishing career, I would highly suggest you do yourself a favor and check out Sarra Cannon's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/heartbreathings" target="_blank">Heart Breathings Channel</a> and <a href="https://heartbreathings.com/" target="_blank">website/blog.</a> <br />

<br />
Featuring my book, Wild Imaginings on his very first podcast, <a href="https://www.ethanfreckleton.com/a-man-reads-wild-imaginings-by-constance-ruth-clark/?fbclid=IwAR1dzdW-iApQVsieCmQMgcav-vkyDMhmlgV-vlHFcXZaMd9NRt3Gn3huayo" target="_blank">A Man Reads Wild Imaginings by Constance Ruth Clark</a>. What an honor to be chosen. I was so impressed by the way he made the story come to life. Don't worry, he only reads the first chapter. When I asked him about it, he said that he'd read enough romance to know where the steamy parts usually started. He thought it would be fun to tease the readers and leave them wanting more. <br />

I pulled it down after ten years because it needs updating and I wanted to make a few editing changes. I will be re-releasing it very shortly under a new name.<br />
<br />
Past Destinies is also getting an update and as of this writing, only the print version is available for sale. Once those copies are gone, they will be gone for good, so if you want an original version of the book, better get it now!<br />
<br />
These books will be available soon under the Goddess of Destiny series and I will be releasing Agatha's story soon.<br />

The world turned upside-down recently. Like most of you, I've had to make adjustments in the new reality. I used to have certain times of the day I could work, and now, with two kids home all day when they aren't over at their father's house, it's very different. My schedule has been a bit wonky, to say the least.<br />
<br />
Having my husband home all day has also been a bit different. At first, I felt like I had to spend all day with him but then we both realized that we got more done if we assigned ourselves separate tasks. Since getting married almost a year ago, we've never spent so much time together. I know that it has shown me that I finally got it right with him. I don't think there is another man I could have been quaranteed with for a month where we wouldn't have started fighting. Instead, we've fallen into a routine. When we have tasks to do together, we easily complete them by working together. The most drama we create together is when the kids are home, and then it's the family type stuff about getting them to clean up after themselves and to stop watching so much television.<br />
<br />
After seven years of being alone and figuring it all out on my own, I'm now in the happy dilemma of figuring out how to share the woes and chores with another adult who is pulling their weight. I don't have to stress about how bills will be paid on just my salary because he's there to contribute. My husband is a superhero to me and I'm so thankful to have him in my life. He is the best change to have happened in my life, aside from my children of course.<br />

Release Day is almost here for Book One, Wild Imaginings.😍 I'm so excited to have written and created this new series of Romantic Fiction.<br />
<br />
It's all about conservative Christian people who follow the rules as they know them and have had life deal them a bad hand. So they decide to see what happens if they break those rules and go a little Wild.<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is Holly & Mark's story. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Holly and Mark haven't seen each other since graduation from their ultra-conservative Christian high school fifteen years ago. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They've both experienced the heartbreak divorce brings but still crave a real human connection. Finding each other again through social media gives them both a much-needed shoulder to cry on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The fun starts when they decide to take their rekindled friendship into the real world. Who cares what the church gossips say, they're headed straight to heaven on the road to hell.</span><br />

One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to take time with your significant other and connect as a couple.<br />
<br />
My husband and I weren't able to do this for Valentine's Day weekend as we had other obligations. Lucky for us we found a lovely, quaint little Bed and Breakfast with an amazing Spa Tub. To be completely honest, I searched for a place that had a spa tub because I've missed having one of my own so much and haven't had a relaxing bath in ages. My husband was only too happy to join me. Isn't that what a romantic weekend is all about?<br />
<br />
The entire evening was magical, completed with the white wine and Strawberries our host was able to acquire at the last minute. My handsome husband made me feel like the most beautiful woman on the planet and treated me like the queen he thinks I am. Altogether it was a most wonderfully romantic mini-holiday and I can't wait for the next one.<br />
<br />
Just as a side note, If you're still single, as I was for many years, it's also important to take time for yourself and treat yourself to some time away from 'real-life'. We all need a way to recharge our batteries.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744825418820379200.post-35994539793307384312020-02-14T06:00:00.000-05:002020-02-14T06:00:05.185-05:00Destinies Series<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVra8V1ShKXXeOKGx9Knwfn28TLKnbSKsJF_24v2L09HrtFpFYrZeEMm95Fc-2KuIDdfxYCLUROhGqVt5lX1es9mc6WTJ-3bwHE3vSKHTdwqPb1iUND83a2seVXlF8TVWAFUVbEXj_jMAq/s1600/Valentine%2527s+Day+Sale+Facebook+Post.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="789" data-original-width="940" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVra8V1ShKXXeOKGx9Knwfn28TLKnbSKsJF_24v2L09HrtFpFYrZeEMm95Fc-2KuIDdfxYCLUROhGqVt5lX1es9mc6WTJ-3bwHE3vSKHTdwqPb1iUND83a2seVXlF8TVWAFUVbEXj_jMAq/s320/Valentine%2527s+Day+Sale+Facebook+Post.png" width="320" /></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "lato" , "myriad pro" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "lato" , "myriad pro" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">A few years back I started a series called 'Destinies'. It is based on the premise that we all have soulmates out there, but we may not have found them yet. For some the reason is tragic. Death separates many. For others they were unfortunate to think they had fallen in love but it was with the wrong person. All can be corrected with a little time and attention and the right person helping. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: lato, "myriad pro", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "lato" , "myriad pro" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">To correct the separations of true soulmates let me introduce you to Agatha, a granddaughter of Zeus. While in a jealous rage, Zeus ripped apart the souls of the humans he had created, dooming them to roam the earth forever in search of their other half. His wife, Hera, was determined to help correct this horrible wrong. She convinced Zeus to talk to Hades and he found Agatha. Her status as a demi-goddess has given her the ability to unite soulmates, even through time and space. Cupid isn't exactly a fan of her doing his job, and will try to show her up by matching couples who aren't always the best fit. Isn't it great to think that the heartbreak you've experienced was just because some god was jealous of another and had a fit? At least we have Agatha to correct those mistakes. Now if she could just find her own soulmate, everyone would get what they want.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "lato" , "myriad pro" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "lato" , "myriad pro" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Using the Destinies Series as the backstory, I have plans for some hot, spicy fun short stories that will get the blood pumping and juices flowing. Some will be about self discovery, some about learning about love for the first time and others will be how to recover after a tragic loss. All will be stories of woman, as real as my mind can create, who experience life to the fullest to become the best or better version of themselves. I believe in happy endings and my own life is proof of that. If I found mine, you can too! </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744825418820379200.post-51709057608548063472020-02-10T17:51:00.002-05:002020-02-10T17:53:18.253-05:00Self Development - Planners<br />

It's a journal to plot out your goals for both personal and career. Since taking this leap of faith to become a writer full time, I've realized that I really need to plan things out and set goals to make sure that I can plan for success.<br />
<br />
I took about an hour of my morning to go through it and immediately fell in love with its design and helpful prompts for goals and success strategies. The stickers filled with helpful motivational quotes and colorful graphics made me smile. I know I'll be using this daily to keep me on track with my personal and career goals and am excited to share with you.<br />
<br />
I bought one of these planners for both myself and my 13 year old daughter. I'm hoping that it is something we can work out together. Mine is pink and hers is Teal, and we both love the stickers and themes. I bought some washi tape and more sticker books on this huge sale at Marshall's. (I guess they are going out of business, so everything was 70% off!) Stickers are such fun!<br />
<br />
Each morning I go through and check off the goals I'm tracking and update where I am. I love how it helps hold me accountable, and I love how I can customize the dates and goals for when I'm ready to set them. That way I don't feel like I've wasted pages if I miss a week or a month. For example, since I didn't get this until the last week of January, I didn't even put that month in the planner, I started with February. </div>
