Reclaiming the Light paperback giveaway!

*Reposted from Medium.com

As some of you may know, I have published a memoir, Reclaiming the Light,which is available on Amazon via Kindle or paperback. It deals with childhood abuse, domestic violence, and the journey from victim to survivor. It is my story, but it could be anyone’s story.

I would like to offer a signed copy to someone who has not had the opportunity to obtain one, or would just like their very own copy from me. :) In order to qualify for this giveaway, I just ask that you leave a private note here with your email address so that I may contact you if you are the winner. I will be posting this giveaway on my twitter account as well with the same request, and on the day of the giveaway, will be assigning a number to each email and enter them into a random number generator in order to choose.

You may also choose to subscribe to my blog, here and leave a note there. I post a lot of my articles there as well, and other posts about self-help, self-awareness, self-improvement, philosophy, and things of that nature.

Take care, and find your light. ❤

Finding my way

The writing is coming, in bursts, but at least it is happening. At this point, I think I may have two different stories going on; and I am ok with that. There is some character development going on that feels like it has long-term potential for my novel (novela?), and the paragraphs that are flowing a little more smoothly, possibly another novel, or maybe a short story. I really don't know yet. I will cross that bridge when I feel like I can actually put the scattered notes and pieces into something a little more "whole". I've been reading in between writing as well. I finished a fantastic book last night, "Children of the Salt Road", by Lydia Fazio Theys. I have the paperback version, but it is a signed copy, and I didn't want to bend it, so I ended up getting the Kindle in Motion version; something I have never experienced. I recommend it, at least for this book. The art is quite beautiful, and not at all intrusive while reading. If you go to Amazon ...

First review on My Memoir!

I received my first review today for my novella, Reclaiming the Light. I never expected to get a 5 star review, much less the words that followed. I have no idea who left the review, but to whoever it was, thank you. I truly can not express how thankful I am for them. For a writer, and someone who is rarely unable to keep her mouth shut, I am rendered almost speechless. I have always had a hard time accepting praise. I'm sure it goes back to childhood, and rarely being told that something I did was good, or that I did a good job. When I do receive praise, I usually beg off, or I find something wrong with a job well done. This is something I am still working hard to get over. It is difficult to teach your own children to love themselves, to accept praise, and to be different people than you are yourself, when you are still struggling with it on your own. But I try, and I guess that's all I can do. Thankful, that is the word I am trying to bring with me into 2018. Revie...
Now wouldn’t this be wonderful? To be covered in paint, without a care in the world, with a grin plastered on our faces, happy and carefree.  Well, why aren’t you? How did you make yourself smile today? Yesterday? Last week? In today’s fast paced world, it is rare for anyone to take the time to think of their own personal development, their own personal needs, their self-care. We are so caught up in the here and now, the selfie moment so to speak, we don’t take the necessary time to stop and smell the roses.  Stress, anxiety, and depression have become commonplace in our society. As we get older, especially women, studies have shown that benzodiazepine prescriptions increase. The majority of these prescriptions are not even written by psychiatrist, but by our regular internists. What does this say about how we are living our lives?  Rather than set aside a few moments per day to work on ourselves, we take pills to ease our pain, physically and mentally....
