Relax, Relate, RELEASE

This week was a strange week for me. It was a strange week for America. “Strange” is putting it lightly. I found myself needing the weekend to just relax, relate, and RELEASE – in more ways than one. I wrote until my fingers couldn’t write anymore. I purged. I purged EVERYTHING. Some may make it into my…

A day of memorial, sun and fighting relatives

THIS IS THE BLOG POST THAT’S BEEN COMING FOR ABOUT TWO AND HALF WEEKS. (As you can tell by the title…) I was going to write about Memorial Day/my dad’s 60th birthday back home in Jersey. I was going to get into a huge spiel about the DRAMA that going back home/visiting my extended family…

Why I Write

It’s 2:40AM EST on the dot here in Atlanta, GA. Just got off the phone with the #boytoy (my boyfriend). [He’d kill me if he knew I called him that.] And I’m sleepy, but I can’t quite lay down. Today, one of my close friends asked me, “What ever happened to that story you were…

PARADISE FORBIDDEN RELEASE: August 28th

Paradise Forbidden is releasing AUGUST 28th… and I couldn’t be any more excited! I can’t wait to share the story of Trevor & Kat. A twisty tale of two people surviving, sharing and saving one another…

Vacation Rundown: The “Yes’s” and the “No’s”

SO. I went on vacation. In Jamaica. For five (5) whole days. With 16 other people. Yes. You read that correctly. SIXTEEN other people. (Well, it was really me, my sister and 15 of her close friends. Turns out none of my friends could make the trip.) *wails in Patois* Nonetheless, I had a serious BLAST….

MOVING SUCKS (+ a list of other things that BLOW)

FIRST THINGS FIRST… Moving sucks. I’m having to down-size like a MO-FO because of a lot of lifestyle changes that I’m making. I’m not making NEARLY as much money as I was recently, and while I am infinitely happier, I miss the ease with which I used to do things. So, my lease is UP (I hate…

Love…(According to Anthony Hopkins)

“Love is passion, obsession, something you can’t live without…” I LOVE the movie, Meet Joe Black. Love. I mean, LOVE this movie. (Maybe because Brad Pitt was so delectable in this movie, but I digress…) Mostly, I love this movie because of the meaningful and underlying themes about love. One of the greatest things about this…

You think you know…but you have no idea…

Have you ever misjudged someone completely? Had a preconceived notion blown out of the water? Wasn’t it scary? Wasn’t it nerve-wracking? To think that you could be so… WRONG? That the close friend you had was your biggest heckler in the stands? That the “shallow” girl you encountered was really a gift-wrapped God-send? And how about that…

FIVE (5) Honest Things about Myself

So, I’ve seen the “Five things about yourself” game/tag floating around Facebook. Now, I wasn’t tagged or anything (*sobs uncontrollably*), but I did find it intriguing AND I didn’t want to be left out, SO… Here I am, forcing “Five honest things about myself” down everyone’s un-inquiring throats 🙂 : (1) The middle “e” (I love it lower-cased….

The Butterfly Stage

…Do you remember yours? There’s something to be said about that beautiful butterfly stage of a romance… When things are new Fresh Flirty Fun That stage… it comes and goes throughout the course of a romance. It can start in the beginning and fade… It can roller coast across the relationship… Only one thing is for…
