 Happy New Years Eve!! Hope your last day of 2022 is a wonderful one. Have fun. Live life. Be safe. Take care.

 Happy December to you all!! I hope you are having a wonderful month and if not I hope it gets better for you.  Surround yourself with people who care. I hope all yourself dreams and goals come a reality for you. 

 In order to change the world it starts with us as people. We can't keep making the same mistakes and think things are going to change because they won't change. You are in control of you. You have the option to change.  It is okay to make mistakes even if you repeat them as long as you break the cycle and learn from it. Stop repeating history.  History has been on repeat for so long. Break the cycle. Change it. Stop being blind and deaf to things. Listen. Pay attention.  Produce thoughts of your own. Stop being negative and toxic. The world doesn't revolve around us. Putting time into the things you love and people who love and care about you is better time spent. Wake up people. 

 It is okay to not be okay. It is okay to be sad. It is okay to be angry. It is okay to feel what you want to feel.  No one has the right to tell you how to feel. It is okay too cry. It is okay not to clean the house when you don't feel like it. It is okay to not answer the phone or see people during that.  It is okay to sleep more. Take time for yourself.  Do things for you.  Take a shower or bath. Listen to music.  Color blow bubbles.  Watch movies.  Take a walk. Even if you aren't okay now and everything is falling apart distract yourself. Sometimes that is what you have to do. I know it might be rock bottom and the worst stuff you've ever endured and something I know is that you can work through it. You find ways to cope. There are going to be times you think you aren't worth it. You are worth it. You will think you don't deserve the best and you do deserve the best. You might think that you aren't worth love and you are worth being loved. You are worth bein

 Everyone thinks that November is when it is the time to give thanks and be thankful in America because of Thanksgiving. We should be thankful all year long. Sometimes things might be going bad and it might be at its worst at times. We can always try to make the best of the bad and worst.  Be thankful for the ones who care, if you have a roof over your head,  can pay the bills,  have food,  and all the small things in life. If you don't have food go to a food bank or see if your local churches have food banks. If you don't have a roof over head ask friends to stay with them or look for a shelter in your town.  There are many things to be thankful for in this world. Some of the things I am thankful for are my kids, family,  friends,  my land, house,  the time I get with my kids,family, and friends,  flowers, trees,  rain, my therapists who help me, being able to write my stories,  and many other things.  Thanksgiving should bring people together to be thankful for each other and

 Happy November to you all!! Hope you all have a wonderful November and that all goes well for you. 

 Even when things seem like they are better keep working on yourself. You are going to have up and down days. There will be days you will get in your own head.  Sometimes you will be your own worst enemy.  Be kind to you. Cut yourself a break.  Yes, I know the world's a cruel place. Know that after the abuse you might think you can't do it , go on, your worthless,  lazy, crazy,  and all the labels they stuck on you are NOT TRUE. YOU ARE NOT THOSE THINGS PEOPLE SAY. THEY ARE PREDATORS PREYING ON YOU. YOU DESERVE LOVE, LIGHT,PEACE,HAPPINESS, RESPECT, BOUNDARIES THAT PEOPLE RESPECT, TO BE SAFE,FEEL SAFE,AND THE VERY BEST IN LIFE.  Keep trying. Keep shining through in the dark. Know that each and every one of us is worth it.  There is hope.

 Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love all holidays for different reasons. For Halloween it's the decorating. I like carving a pumpkin with my kids. It's the dressing up and being who you want to be.  I like the horror movies and some of the kids Halloween movies.  When my kids were younger I loved taking them trick -r- treating. We've been doing Halloween parties for the past few years. They are teenagers now. Time flies. I buy food and candy. It's about the memories we make.

 Happy October and may all your dreams and wishes come true this month.

 Sometimes I get discouraged because my books don't sell very well. I just want people to read them. Even though not many have bought them I continue to write because I love writing.  Writing is a way for me to cope. Sometimes it is a way for me to escape reality. It has gotten me through a lot of rough times.  When people buy or read them it makes me happy. It is okay if they don't like it because I know there are people who will love or like them. I keep promoting on different platforms and interact with people to try to get the word out about my books. I am not giving up on my dreams and goals. 

 People think they are so entitled to know what you are doing, what is going on in your life, what is going on in your relationships, and much more. Guess what it is none of their business unless you want to tell them and even when you tell them it still doesn't make it their business.  You don't have to share anything.  The ones who think they have a right to know do not have the right. People dig around and want to know your past.  You don't live in the past so it shouldn't matter. You are trying your best. If people can't respect you they aren't worth your time.  If they judge you they aren't worth your time.  Everyone has a past and has made mistakes.  No one is perfect.  Just be the best you.  Be careful who you share things with because sometimes they use it to prey on you or they have a big mouth. No one has the right to know everything you are doing and things you've done all the time. Some want to use it to have control.  Other people are just n

 People like to assume things about people rather than ask them.  Just because someone might be fat or skinny, you have people who assume they're lazy or they are on drugs,which isn't always the case. A friend might post good morning beautiful posts to you and you might be single so everyone might assume it is your significant other when it might just be a friend.  You might dress nice and someone assumes you have money when you might barely be surviving.  Who cares what other people think. Stop assuming stuff about people.  You might miss out on a good friendship or finding the love of your life.  You don't know their story.  They might have health issues, suffer depression, and many other things.

 Happy Labor Day!! Hope you all have a wonderful day and had a wonderful weekend!!

 Happy September and hope that your month is filled with happiness, love,and light. Keep trying your best. 

 If you are unhappy with things in your life change it. No one can change it,but you.  Stop blaming others for being miserable. Cut them out if those people make you feel miserable, drag you down,toxic, abusive, or whatever.  Stop making excuses for these people.  Work towards it. Keep trying.  Do things that allow you to heal. Heal your mind and soul. Forgive you. Love you.  Surround yourself with people who build you up, listen, hang out, who actually love,and care about you.  Set boundaries with people.  Set goals. Work on them. Try your best for you.  Keep trying.  Don't give up on you. You deserve happiness.  You deserve love. You deserve inner peace. 

 I try to use my past experiences in life or observations of other people's lives to get people to understand things. That it isn't okay for people to talk to down to you, be ugly to you,hateful,negative, toxic, or abusive. I want people to wake up and see the light. Get out of the dark. You deserve better. You deserve love. Deserve happiness.  Not someone controlling you, making you feel less,  hitting,  raping, or whatever bad thing. No one deserves abuse. Use your voice. Let your heal. Know it isn't your fault.  It is their fault.  They preyed on you. That isn't right. Good people don't abuse other people.  Get help. See a therapist. Talk to someone. Write in a journal.  Do what makes you happy.  Don't suppress it for the rest of your life. Suppressing it or shutting emotions off just makes it worse.  Find a way too cope. Walk, support group, aromatherapy, music,  meditation, or whatever helps you.  Just know you trying is your best. Know that you aren't

Live life the way you want.  Do the things you want to do. Do it for you because you deserve to live your best life doing what makes you happy.  Eat that good food.  Watch what you want.  Read that book.  Spend time with people you love and care about.  Blow bubbles. Dance in the rain.  Walk barefoot.  Soak in a bubble bath.  Watch the stars and moon. Jam out to music.  Talk to family and friends for hours. Play games. Have bonfires.  Go to college if you want.  Heal yourself for you. Love you for you.  Sit outside. Sit on a porch swing. Watch the birds. Rest when you need to rest. Take a drive. Drink hot tea.  Drink iced tea. Dance like no one's watching. Make silly videos.  Take pictures.  Color.  Make a splash out of life. 

 Even with how the world is going I have hope for a better world. Most have given up hope. They have slipped into darkness and even though they have there is light in the dark,yet they don't see it yet. The world is bleeding.  It needs to heal. People need to learn from the past. People are so divided.  So much corruption, greed,lies, hate, war, starving people,  sickness, death, and more. Are they blind? Wake up.  Stop repeating past mistakes over and over. We all bleed red. We all die. We all have feelings. Stop spreading hate, negativity,  war,toxicity and everything bad. You have a choice. You live with those choices. You can change if you choose to.  Every single person across the world has to better themselves to set a better example. Learn how to listen and communicate.  Open your eyes. Stop following blindly. Be your own person. Use your voices to be heard. You don't have to use violence. That is a choice.  You can make videos and post them. Make posters and spread them

 Today is my youngest son's first day of his Sr Year of High School. I am proud of him. He will go far and do a lot after he graduates. He has already figured out where he wants to apply to college.  Next step is signing up for every scholarship we can find because college isn't cheap and he wants to go for 4 to 6yrs. He knows what he wants to do.  I know he can do it and support him in whatever he chooses to to do in life. 

 Sometimes people say or act like they want to be your friend, but they don't really act like it.  They don't make an effort to text, call, or see you. Some make the bare minimum effort when you are the one constantly checking up on them. You hear I'm busy and many other excuses. People who actually love and care about you make time for you. It isn't all about them. The world doesn't revolve around any of us. Yew, people work, have kids, have significant others,  life happens, and so forth. Guess what you can include friends and family. You can text and ask how are you. That doesn't take long at all. Sometimes people think that you don't care if you don't make an effort and why should they?!? Even if you get significant others or get married don't exclude family and friends from your life. Include them in dinners or lunches. Have a game night. If you have kids do the same. Listen to your friends and family. Put your phones down sometimes and spend it

 Don't give up on your dreams or stop dreaming.  Sometimes people tell you grow up and stop dreaming. Ignore them. Dreamers are the creators who power imagination. Work towards your dreams and goals. You might fail.  That's okay. Dust yourself off. It's your life.  It's okay to change your dreams and goals. Sometimes things change and it's okay. What we once thought make us happy might change. Don't give up no matter what.  Keep trying.  You can make your dreams and goals a reality if you keep working towards them.  Tune out negative people who tell you that you can't do it because you can do it. Don't let others stand in the way of your happiness.  People who care about you will root you on and support you. 

 Do what makes you happy and not others.  Don't bend over backwards to make people happy. Everyone is going to have opinions about you. It is an opinion.  They will tell you what you should try to do differently and it is your life. Live your life for you.  If they don't like it that sounds like a personal problem.  People can make suggestions thinking it might help and sometimes it does. You also have some you tell things to and they make comments when you didn't ask for their advice. Sometimes people don't listen and that is the problem.  Just keep trying.  Be your best you for you. 

 Psychic Vampire Prophecies Volume 1-5 is about Alexis and Stephen who are twins.  There is  a prophecy that, you don't find out about until the 2nd volume. Not all the Vampires are blood Vampires or Immortals. Alexis goes through a lot with relationships with family, friends, and significant others through the whole series. There is love, lust, rebellions, war, hate, and much more.  She tries her best.  Sometimes feels her best isn't good enough.  Leads the best she can.

 This year has been an interesting year full off good and bad. My oldest son graduated high school which makes me super proud of him. I got to meet some friends this year that I had been talking to for 2 years or so. It was a great meeting. With good comes bad. I have had people from the past try to add me back to social media or be a part of my life. I keep blocking those people or ignoring the requests. I cut them out of my life for a reason. Some of them caused trauma, they were negative,  or weren't really trying to be a friend.  I have done a lot of healing and  reflecting.  My past is my past. Yes, I made some bad choices and decisions.  No one has the right to judge me for that. Everyone makes mistakes.  I am not perfect. This year I published 2 books which now makes 24 books that I have published. I haven't sold many. I am going to keep trying my best. My youngest son is about to start his Sr. Year of high school. I am trying to be the best mom I can to my kids because

Some people from the past try to add me back to social media and act like a friend. I have recently started deleting and ignoring those requests. Some people don't change. The past is the past and I am not the same girl they used to know. I've done a lot of reflecting. I  cut people out for being negative, toxic, who mentally abused me, or worse.  I am not going to be there for people who say they care about me and don't make an effort to text,call, or see me. I am done with people's excuses.  So many fake caring fake loving people in this world.  They think that the world revolves around them.  I know that it doesn't revolve around me.  I know people talk about me and I don't care because that is a reflection of them not me. It's okay to cut people out of your life with no explanation.  

Even though I have depression,anxiety, PTSD, and have been through abuse, I am a person not just my diagnosis. I've been battling these things for years. I've been called crazy,  lazy,  told to get over it, your worthless, and many other things.  I've also heard things like ignore it. I thought there was something wrong with me and it was my fault. Yes, I did make bad choices sometimes that were my fault,but  I stopped taking the blame and stopped blaming myself for the bad things people did to me. My depression spiraled out of control when I lost my mom. I quit school my SR year. Fighting with my family is all I did is how it felt sometimes. I withdrew from a lot of my friends but it wasn't like they tried to be there for me really. I kept choosing toxic friends and boyfriends. People who were down right negative.  Listening to people talk about my weight, calling me lazy, crazy,and much more.They used me for money,food, place to stay, or whatever.  I have dealt with a

 July 25th every year is a hard day for me. On that day in 1998 I lost my mom to esophageal cancer.  It was like a piece of me died with her that day for a long time.  We were very close. Her and my dad adopted me when I was a week a old. She was the best mom a person could ask for. Took me places when I wanted to go. At every school function. She listened to me. Didn't judge me.  Was a very happy person.  Taught me so much in a short period of time. To be myself.  Love with all I've got. To be forgiving. Enjoy life even the small things. Watching her get sick and die when I was only 15years old was a lot. People wanted to compare it to losing grandparents and even a dog. I had lost 2 grandparents right before losing my mom, so it was like wham bam and boom. I fell into a deep depression and spiraled out of control.  Made poor life choices. Pushed people away. People weren't fully there for me fully.  Some made my mom's death about them.  I started sleeping a lot, skipp

 Thank you all who support me.  I appreciate it very much.  Thank you to the ones who listen to me and are there for me.  Thanks to the ones who buy books,  share books on your social media and word of mouth, share my YouTube Channel, read my blog, leave comments, likes, reviews for my books, and all that you do for me.  It means the world to me. You all are amazing. Much love to all of you. ❤❤❤

 Some people call you friend,  yet sometimes you wonder. They only text you if you text first or answer if you call first.  That isn't always the case either. Sometimes they call you friend and only follow you on social media yet barely like or comment.  What is the point in all that? People are making more excuses of why not to text,call, or go see each other.  They say they are busy. Make up all kinds of excuses. People who care about you will make time. Then you have people you ask how they are doing and they complain about their life, emotional dump on you, and don't talk about good stuff in their life just all negative.  They don't even ask can you handle it or how you are doing.  People need to start texting, calling, and seeing family and friends. One day they will no longer be there because they didn't think you cared,loved them, and etc. Actions speak louder than your words. No excuse to be crappy to people who love and care about you.  One day they will die. I

 My dream is for people to read and sell more books. I haven't sold many over the years.  I set a goal around my birthday every year to sell 100 and haven't ever reached that. It is disappointing and discouraging because I am not sure if people want to read my work and I have put a lot of hard work I to each book. No,they aren't all perfect.  Yes, they may have some mistakes.  I do the best that I can.  I do my own ads because I can't pay for advertising.  Not everyone leaves me reviews when they do read them and some say nice things and some are very ugly.  I share it on Twitter,  Facebook,  LinkedIn,  have a website,  YouTube,  and here. Sometimes I feel like it doesn't reach many people.  I need all of you to help by sharing it with family and friends if you don't like to read.  Leave me a review if you buy a copy.  Please help support me.  Thank you. I'm not giving up. 

 That moment you all have been waiting for is finally here I finally finished Psychic Vampire Prophecies.  I hope you enjoy.  The final book will only be in ebook because it is over 2,000 pages long.  It took me about 8 or 9 years to finish the final book.  Description Alexis had a lot to figure out in her life with family, friends, and relationships. There is a war that she isn't sure she can win. Things are constantly changing around her. So many secrets that come out. There are days she isn't sure of who she can trust. Her feelings are up and down because of everything she's experiencing. There are new adventures along with a lot of loss. People are coming and going out of her life. She did best by her people to make it a better world for them. It is not ever a dull moment.

 Don't let people push you over or walk over you. They will do it time and time again if you let them. They don't respect you.  These people don't care about you.  They say they do. They will continue doing it if you allow it. Don't allow them to disrespect you like that. Set boundaries.  If they can't respect your boundaries cut them out of your life. Be done.  You deserve better. Stop making excuses for these people. 

 Do what is best for you in your life.  There are always going to be people giving unsolicited advice, opinions, or telling you how you should live your life. Guess what it is your life not their life.  Some are projecting what they want in their life and try to pull you down. It is your choice on what to do. If you have to cut these people out of your life do it. You don't have to listen to what they have to say. Whether it is a job,money, friendships, relationships, or whatever in life. You don't have to share anything with anyone if you don't want to.  Some people feel like they have the right to know. It doesn't matter if it's family, friends, significant other,or whomever that is up to you on whether you share stuff about your life. It's not everyone's business but your own. People act entitled and above you at times when they are not. Everyone struggles in life. We all have a past and we all make mistakes.  Sometimes we repeat mistakes. It's a lear

 Sometimes people say they are nice and good people when they aren't very nice. What are they trying to prove? People can generally tell if you are nice or good people. Nice and good people don't have to prove that to anyone. I've heard people talk about being nice, good, kind yet tear someone down or make fun of someone in the same sentence. No one is 100% nice or good all the time. Yes, we make mistakes. You don't have to tear people down, make fun of, or other things. Actions speak really loud and words sometimes are empty. Show people quit telling them that you are good or nice. Let people make that choice for themselves. It is about being better than you were before. It is about changing for the better. No one should be made to feel less than. Think before you speak because it may affect someone and they might be struggling. There are good people in the world but some act like good people when in reality they aren't very nice or good people. Some will prey on y

 Be yourself because if people don't like you that is their problem not your problem.  You can't make everyone like you. Stop trying to please everyone they will drain you. Stop trying to fix and save everyone, you can't do it. They have to want to change. They have to want to fix and save themselves by working on themselves.  It isn't your job. If they make you miserable cut them out of your life.  Cut them out if they use you, lie,manipulate and whatever takes away from your happiness.  You deserve happiness.  Self reflect for yourself. Do what is right for you.  Have you time. Live your life for you and no one else.  Live your best life. You are trying your best. Don't let others pull you down.  Keep being the best you. 

I recently just finished writing this poetry book. It was recently published on Amazon in paperback and Kindle ebook.  

 Sometimes people have to do them for them. We need to it for ourselves because it is a way to recharge our batteries and energy. Anyone who says that it is selfish is wrong. It is important to take time for yourself. The reason why is so we can reflect on our behavior and other people around us. We need to sometimes take a look and see is this still the right path for me. Also sometimes we need to make sure that our relationships and friendships are still healthy or are they toxic. Sometimes we have to let people go not because we stop caring but because those people aren't helping us grow as a person and they are constantly negative. You don't need people who are constantly negative, full of drama, and don't want to change for the better to suck the life out of you because they can do that. Some people are all about them. They emotionally dump on you and don't ask about you. Talk about themselves or their problems all the time which can be a bit much. It is one thing

 I'm not for or against abortion.  Abortion has and always will be a black and white or gray area. Some people don't think about the reasons behind it and are quick to judge. Yes, I understand it is a life and has a soul.  For a minute take religion and politics out of the equation. Everyone is following and listening blindly. Quick to get in line. Here's the thing when rape,molestation, and incest are going on they weren't in control and it is something that they have to live with everyday. It should be a choice on adoption or abortion. There is psychological damage already done. No one likes being told what to do. Not having choices isn't right. If a woman is dying or the baby is dying it should be up to the woman and her doctor not the world. You shouldn't shame people for making that choice if they were raped or other reasons. Abuse is no laughing matter. I'm not saying that people should make rash decisions.  I think that people need to educate themselv

 You are worth it even if people say you aren't worth it. Get rid of those people. They are negative and toxic. They aren't worth your time and energy. They want to suck the life out of you. Get away from them. You deserve to be accepted. Your feelings matter. No one has the right to make you feel less. Those people prey on people or they are insecure in their own lives which means they are miserable and want you to be miserable with them. You deserve people who love you for you.  People who are positive and not negative all of the time. Value yourself.  You are worth it. You deserve the best.  Don't settle. Keep shining bright through the darkness. 

 The world has become a very dark place which is truly sad. So much bad going on in the world and it just keeps getting worse. You have wars, inflation, recession, women being told what to do with their bodies, people who can't find jobs, homeless people, and much more.  It's horrible that it has come to this. People need to learn from history and stop making past mistakes yet they keep doing it over and over again.  Wars don't solve anything.  People die and lose their homes. We all bleed red. We are all human beings who make mistakes. Stop being greedy and power hungry. Learn how to better yourselves people.  Raising the price of living to make people struggle more is creating more problems and not solutions.  No, person should be able to tell a woman to do with their body. Nobody should be able to tell anyone what to do with their body.  There are ways to change the world. It starts by people using their voices, learning from past mistakes, setting up new programs that c

 Don't let people treat you like you are a convience because you aren't one. Phones work both ways. Going to see people works both ways. If you are married, have kids, or significant others don't use them as an excuse either.  If your friends are married, have kids,or significant others then maybe include them also. Have get together. Cook out, have game nights, or whatever.  Don't use your job as an excuse either. Everyone needs a break sometimes.  Don't have family or friends constantly asking how you are or inviting you to stuff. Take time out to ask how they are doing and invite them or make them feel included. The world doesn't revolve around any of us. Start acting like you care or they will think you don't care at all. If you don't call,text, or go see people how do they know. You can post on social media but not call,text, or go see family or friends which is what is wrong with the world. No one is communicating.  They read a text and take it out

 Psychic Vampire Prophecies Volume 5 New Beginnings and Endings is still being edited.  I didn't realize how hard it would be to edit this book. There are so many emotions in certain scenes that sometimes I have to take a step back and go back to it. Yesterday I had to take a chunk out because I forgot some stuff I had put in it so had to rewrite certain parts. It worked out for the best. I have 304 pages left to go and then I will probably skim to see if anything else may need done.

 Make time for yourself sometimes.  Sometimes you need you time to decompress.  You need it to unwind from stress.  Do the things you enjoy doing.  Eat the foods you like to eat. Buy yourself something if you have the money.  Showers or bath to relax. Listen to music or dance. Act silly.  Watch a movie. It is important for your mental health to do that. You are important. You deserve the best. 

 Family or not they don't have the right to treat you bad. You don't have to tolerate them treating you bad,gaslight, mental abuse, physically abuse, be narcissistic, or toxic. Set boundaries.  Call them out on it. Tell them if you can. You deserve the best no matter what. Write it down if you have to. If you have to put distance between them and you do that. If you have to cut them fully out of your life because they are abusive do that. Get help if you need to. It effects your mental health. No one has the right to abuse you. People make excuses for family and they should not do that or turn a blind eye. Stop making excuses for bad behavior.  Stop telling people they will regret being it or family is family. No one has the right to be ugly to you,talk down to you,tear you down, talk to you condescending, or abuse you.  Some of them want you to  depend on them but make you feel like crap for it. Make it out like they will help you but make you feel bad for even asking.  Some v

 Some people claim to be your friend yet don't act like friends.  They act like acquaintances or strangers. This is becoming more and more common unfortunately. You see each other less, call less, and text less. Eventually you hear from them every blue moon and sometimes you wonder are they still a friend sometimes. You hear the excuse I'm busy. Everyone does get busy I understand that. You have families, work,appointments, or whatever the case may be. The people who care about you try to always stick by you but if you act like you don't care why should they stick around.  You learn to make time.It is important to have friends who you can talk to or go see to do stuff with. We have become a society who doesn't communicate with people well and texts get taken out of context because you can't see a person's facial expression and you might take it the wrong way.  I have seen this done time and time again. Friends are just as important as family.  Families do the sa

 Take care of your mental and physical health.  They are both connected in some ways. Go to the doctor when you need to. If you need a therapist or psychiatrist get one. Don't let others influence your decisions about your physical and mental health.  Don't let them make you feel bad or crazy for getting help. It's okay to start with smal goals and work your way from there. Don't listen to people who say you can't do it, your lazy,it's all in your head, get over it,and all the negative stuff people say. Do it for you.  Don't do it for anyone else.  Who cares what others say. Your journey is your journey.  Their journey is their journey.  People need to start learning to listen, be more supportive, and build each other up. Way to many tear each other down because they are miserable and insecure in their own lives. Stress effects many things. It can effect your heart, head,give you depression, and cause you to be anxious.  That could lead to a stroke or a hear

 This world needs to stop the hate,bullying, and violence.  It needs to do so much more than that.  How you ask? Stop feeding the negative.  Stop feeding the hate. Put a stop to bullies. Stand up for those who are being bullies. Don't solve violence with violence.  Everyone across the world needs to better themselves and that starts with mental health.  Educate yourselves.  Be kind to others. Listen to others. Smile at others it might make their day. Help those who need help and help yourselves. Learn how to communicate.  Learn to include people.  Make time for others. Stop making excuses.  Ask how others are doing. Go check up on people.  Don't tell people how to live their lives. They aren't you. Everyone is different.  We all express it and go through it in different ways. We have an understanding of how a person feels. NO ONE KNOWS HOW ANYONE FEELS BECAUSE THEY AREN'T YOU. You can go through the same thing and have different feelings. Don't make people feel bad

 Some people think outside the box of logic and reason.  Their reality is different than the rest of the worlds. Some want it to be explained in a scientific way or logical way. Just because you can't see it or hear it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. People feel the need to have evidence and yet sometimes there is none. It is about opening your mind to all the different possibilities and not being closed and narrow minded. Open your mind and wake up people. 

 People nobody on this planet is perfect and I mean nobody, so get over yourselves. Stop thinking you can be. It is not possible.  You can be the best you that you can be. We all make mistakes.  We all fail at different things. Stop shaming people.  Stop canceling people for it. People go get help. Everyone needs it every now and then. Help by being kind to others.  Stop being judgemental. Yes, we are all guilty of this. We need to be more helpful and kind to people.  Stop and listen.  It is okay to fail. It okay to make new goals and dreams.  It is your life. Be the best version of you for you and nobody else. 

 The people in the world need to stop with all the hate and stop spreading it. It is sickening how much hate is being spread each and every day. They spread it all over the place by the word of mouth, on TV, social media, and so many other places. It is wrong. They should be ashamed of themselves. Stomp out the hate and spread the love and light. Do it with kindness. Block the negative. Block the hate. Do it by sharing positive vibes. Be the light for others. There is enough darkness and it just keeps spreading everywhere. We need to start setting a better example. Do nice things for others. Say kind things to others. Give them a smile. Say a kind word. Support others. Listen to others. The world doesn't revolve around any of us.

 It is better to stay single than be in toxic and abusive relationships of any form or fashion. People tend to stay with toxic people or their abusers because they think they deserve it,  they say stuff like we share kids together,  they they have no place to go, and the list goes on.  Don't ever use your kids as an excuse because they aren't stupid and they can see how unhealthy the relationship is for real and you are causing them trauma of their own. Then in the future they think that's how a relationship is supposed to be which isn't fair to them. If you see the signs get out. I know it might be hard. Listen to your gut. No one deserves toxic or abusive relationships.  I understand you might get lonely but we tend to attract the wrong people when we are feeling that way. Being alone is better than being lonely and in a toxic abusive relationship.  Don't ever think that you don't deserve the best because you do deserve the best in life. Go get help. Allow you

 My oldest son graduated high school Friday the 13th.  I am a super proud mom. He had many obstacles throughout high school with his learning disability and it was a struggle.  He had his up and down days. There were times he wanted to give up. Timed he wanted to quit. Some of it was due to depression and anxiety.  He didn't always know where he fit in at school. There were times he was bullied throughout the years. I always made sure something was done about it but sometimes it wasn't always good enough.  Sometimes getting him out of bed was a struggle.  He had many people who have rooted him on and supported him from family,  to teachers,  to classmates, to teammates, other parents, peoples grandparents, and friends of mine. At some of his basketball and baseball games they would chant his name just to get to see him play or just root him on. It was amazing. He loved playing basketball, baseball, and bowling. He came out of his shell a lot over the years and opened up a lot.

 I recently started working on another poetry book.  Not sure when it will be finished.  I will keep you posted. 

 I have been editing Psychic Vampire Prophecies Volume 5 New Beginnings and Endings. It took me many years to finish it and now it is just taking me a long while to edit it because it is a very long book. I cram packed a lot of things into this book. It makes me happy that I finished it and now it's the long haul of editing to go back to make small changes or just small things. I will be happy when it is fully done so I can publish it. I will keep you updated .

 My oldest son is graduating this upcoming Friday. I am super proud of him. He has come a long way and really come out of his shell. He has overcome so many milestones. When it comes to goals he has accomplished many of those. After he graduates we are going to work on life skills. He wants to plant a garden and learn to cook. We are going to work on chores and maintaining a schedule and routine after graduating. Mental health is also important so we will be working on that. We are going to look into new things he might like to do and how to make new friends that are healthy friendships. I am over the moon for my son. I will be rooting him on in whatever choices he makes in life.

You don't have to share everything with everyone. Why? Many are going to judge you. They say they don't judge but they do. We are all guilty of it in our own way. Do what makes you happy. Stop trying to people please. Quit trying to bend over backwards for people who won't lift a finger for you. Not everyone has to know what you are going through. They aren't entitled to know. They might think they have the right to know every little detail of your life and they don't have that right at all. You don't have to share anything you don't want to share with them. Sometimes we need to keep stuff to ourselves or just share with people we know that aren't going to judge. Some people are so cruel. They are like this is how you should live your life or run your life. What? When did you become an expert on someone else's life? Are you an expert on your own life? I didn't think so. Get in your own lane. Get over there. You heard me. Take your own advice. You

 There is so much negative stuff in social media that it gets so ridiculous. Stop giving these people so much attention. They thrive on it. You are making them more famous. It is disgusting. They are human beings. It is down right toxic. Stop spreading hate and negativity. You are enabling these people. Quit it. You are feeding some of their egos. It's like you are patting them on the back and saying this is okay. It is like you are saying this is acceptable behavior. It is not acceptable behavior. Stop being sheep. Quit feeding these people. You are spreading a virus on another level. This is what you call social normal and it isn't normal people. Stop trying to normalize these behaviors. Quit making it out like it is okay to be toxic. Stop making it out like it it okay to spread negativity like it's a virus. Start blocking the ones who are causing the problems. If people would ignore them and stop giving them so much attention imagine how they would act. Just think about

 People need to stop making jokes about people who go to therapy like it's a bad thing because it isn't a bad thing. People who take the steps to get help for their problems are the ones who deserve an applaud. It doesn't make them bad people or crazy people. Stop making it out like you can't get help by seeing a therapist or any type of mental health treatment. Some people need people other than family and friends to talk to. Family and friends don't always listen.  Family and friends are sometimes the problems. Sometimes your family and friends are the ones who caused your trauma. Sometimes people need someone to listen who isn't going to judge. Some of you say get over it, it's all in your head,  your lazy, you should do this or that in your life, and the list goes on. Someone battling depression needs support and not judgment. Yes, people who suffer from depression may seem attention seeking because no one is truly there for them and they feel like a bur

 Sometimes we stand in the way of our own happiness. We do it for many different reasons. Some of it is we think we don't deserve to be happy when we do deserve to be happy. We need to learn to heal and love ourselves. We need to love every part of ourselves even the bad parts and the scars. It is okay that we have failed. It is okay that we've made mistakes. No one is perfect. There is no person who has the right to judge you. Do what makes you happy in your life. You don't have to be fake to fit into the world. So many are fake. So many thrive on drama. Many people are negative. Many people are toxic. So many are full of hate. There is so much greed. Stop promoting fake people. Stop following fake people. Stop feeding the drama. Cut the negative and toxic people out of your life. Shut them out of social media.  Stop promoting negative and toxic people through social media. People thrive off of it and it is disgusting. They will only know one side of a story and condemn pe

 No one in this world has the right to make you feel like crap. Stand up to people like that. Set boundaries. Tell them they make you angry and that they don't have the right to talk to you the way they do. You are aloud to have an opinion of your own. Think for yourself.  You are aloud to make your own choices in life.  Do what makes you happy in life and if people don't like it that is their personal problem. They only want to drag people down to their level and they aren't worth the time or energy. Don't waste your time or energy on the toxic and negative behaviors that people want to bring out of you. Keep shining bright in these dark times.

 When it comes to SR Year of High School things start sinking in for the kids especially the closer it gets to time to graduate. It gets overwhelming for them. They are trying to figure out what they want to do for the rest of their life and some don't have it figured out. They have people telling them take your ACTS, apply for scholarships, do job training, do this, or do that, and sometimes it is just to much. Some kids end up quitting because of the pressure or feel like they just can't do it anymore. All of the expectations are just so much. They are getting depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, and a lot of mixed emotions. Are they checking in on the mental health. Parents and teachers I know you care about your kids but sometimes you push so hard and it causes these kids to go into a shell. I think y'all need to start doing a mental check on all students and see how they are mentally doing because High School is rough enough with their peers and their peers expectations of

 People want support and people to be there for them. When it comes time for them to support you where are they? It's like they disappeared. Not really. I'm busy. Uh huh. Sure you're busy all of the time. They want you to listen to their problems and gosh forbid you have a problem or their problems always have to be bigger it seems like.  Why just why? People shut up with that crap because your problems might be big but everyone has big problems. Sit down and listen to your family, friends, fans,or whatever they may be to you. Support people in the bad and good. Be there through the bad. Be there for the good.  If you have a friend who needs help with dreams or goals help them if they are reaching out. Don't always make people reach out to you to check on you.  The world does NOT revolve around any of you.  If you have an author friends, photographers, broadcasters,artists, etsy,artists, YouTubers, or any type of business friends share their work by word of mouth, websi

 Tired of being there for people who say they care and love me when they make me feel like they don't really care or love me. It sounds so empty and like they just say it to say it with no meaning.  I know I am no alone in this.  Many are doing this to others as well. How does it make you feel? The many times you call first, text first, show up,or put others first. Do they ever call you, text,or,go see you first? I started seeing that if you don't call,text,or check up on them most won't call, message, or come see you. A true friend makes time not excuses. No one is ever that busy ever. Yes,  we may have things that change in our lives, stuff might come up, new hobbies, or other life stuff. That doesn't mean stop communication.  How hard is it to text asking how your friends are doing and what is going on in their life or doing a mental health check in with friends. Friendship isn't supposed to be one sided.  It is about supporting each other. Rooting each other on

 If someone is reaching out for help don't make fun. Don't say they are wanting attention.  Not everyone is looking for attention. Some people need someone to listen to their problems. They might not have family,  might not have a supportive family, or supportive friends. People might turn them away. People may need different need different types of help and no one has the right to judge that.  Sometimes people need to listen because sometimes people are in a very dark place in their life. There are signs. People just make excuses of I'm busy. Get over it. Your problems aren't that bad. Be happy to be alive. Be happy to be breathing.  Don't tell people that.  You make them feel like their feelings are invalid and they are a burden. They go into shell. Put up a wall. Some commit suicide.  Get help if it's really bad. Don't ever let anyone make you feel like you shouldn't get help.  It's okay to get help for mental health.  Mental health is important. 

 Sometimes we lose track of our dreams and goals. It might be because we got depressed. There are times where we just lose interest in what makes us happy. The lack of motivation is so real. It isn't that the dream or goal still can't be done it just gets put off time and time again. It is okay that this happened. Even if you fail time and time again doesn't mean that you can't do it ever. We sometimes put others before ourselves and other things. We also sometimes make excuses of why we can't do it. We can do it though. We are capable if we truly want it or maybe we have a new dream and it is okay to have new dreams. It is okay to work towards these new dreams and goals. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. That doesn't mean you are a failure. It just means that you are going in a different direction in life. There is nothing wrong with that. You are aloud to change your mind about college, dreams, goals, jobs, who you want to be in a relationship with, fri

 Things people need to start doing more often is spending time with family and friends with turning electronics off to talk to each other without distractions. Play games that don't involve electronics. Have bonfires, BBQS, watch the stars, play music, act silly, dance, make art, play cards, play board games, pot lucks, make up games, darts, volleyball, or whatever you like doing together. People need to learn to come together again and learn to have fun together with each other as family and friends. It is important to have fun and let your hair down. It would learn people of all ages to communicate and have fun. People need to learn how to reconnect. Maybe if we learn to shut technology and have family dinner we will know what is going on in our families lives. Take time out to ask them how their day was and see what was going on in their life rather than staring at technology all of the time. I'm just as guilty as the next person. We all need to start working together across

 If you are in a toxic or abusive relationship don't stay. Get out as fast as you can. Find help to get out of the situation. Some people say well I am staying for my kids. Don't stay for the kids because that is unhealthy for them to see you be physically or mentally abused. Kids are not stupid.  Kids can heal quicker than adults because they have more time to heal.  Don't make them suffer.  They also think those are the relationships that you should have as they grow up.  As people we need to set boundaries. Don't let people use us, walk all over us, manipulate, cheat, lie, talk down to us, hold stuff over our heads, kick us while we're down, and the list goes on. Start telling these people how they make you feel.  Don't sugar coat it. Don't walk on egg shells for the rest of your life. Don't make it to where they make you depend on them because they want that control and to isolate you from family and friends. Have a separate banking account so if you

 So many post stuff about mental health awareness and how people should copy and paste it to alert others about mental health.  They say they know who will be there for them. You have people who say I will be there for you when it's bad yet they aren't there when it's good or bad. They make excuses of why they can't respond or why they can't ever call,text or see you first.  Raising awareness is not about spamming the internet about mental health.  Educate them by telling them your stories.  You don't have to go into everything.  Educate them on depression, anxiety,  narcissistic people, toxic people,  suicide, and the many different signs. Do videos, blog about your personal experiences with it, write a book,  show it in art, show it in poetry,  and the list can go on. Start support groups for different things.  Use your voice. You have a voice.  Stop saying you are always busy because you make time for family, friends, and partners.  One day they won't be

 Don't apologize to others for how you feel. You are aloud to have your own feelings. You are aloud to have an opinion that doesn't align with theirs. It is okay to agree to disagree. It is not okay for people to invalidate your feelings.  Don't say sorry to people who are fishing for an apology or want you to bow down to them.  Don't let let others guilt trip you to make you feel bad for feeling the way you do about whatever it may be. If people can't sit and listen to you when you have a problem and make you feel bad about said problems or mental health or whatever the case may be then it sounds like they are the problem.  You don't need people in your life who are going to be ugly to you, negative, toxic, narcissistic, and down right abusive. Get away from these people.  They are the problem.  You can't fix or save them. They have to want to change. Most like that control. You can get away. Stop making excuses for these people.  It isn't healthy.  You

 When you feel drained of energy take time to rest. Your body needs to rest. Mental health effects the body just as much as physical.  It doesn't make you lazy to rest more with depression and anxiety. Sometimes it helps. Being around negative and toxic people is draining to your energy.  Toxic people are like Vampires in an aspect. They suck the energy right from you.  Once you are free of them the energy doesn't feel that way.  Sometimes we need to relax and rest so we can be our best selves. 

 In order to make a better world people have to want to change for the better. They have to stop being toxic and negative. Have to work on their personal problems rather than blame everyone else for their problems.  Yes some people may have caused them trauma and done horrible things.  Take time for yourself to heal. If you have problems dig deeper into your problems to better yourself so you can feel better.  Forgive others not for them but for your peace and you don't have to forgive them to their face. We need people to learn to respect others. That it's okay to say yes ma'am, no ma'am,  yes sir ,no sir, opening doors for others,basic manners, and common courtesy. We need people to learn to respect people's boundaries, opinions, beliefs, and the list goes on. With boundaries if people don't want you in their personal bubble don't push it. If they ask you to drop a subject because it makes them feel uncomfortable or triggered doesn't mean keep talking

 Addiction in today's world has become a problem and people make others feel bad or guilty for having those problems.  There are many types of addictions. It can be drugs, alcohol,  food, tobacco, and the list can go on. Sometimes people do use others, steal, lie, cheat, become abusive, and spin out of control.  If you need help don't feel ashamed to go to therapy or go to support groups to get the help you need. I am not saying condone bad behavior but you don't know their story to how they go to where they spiraled down that path. Some people don't have supportive family or friends.  Sometimes their own families judge them. Sometimes they do try to change and they make the same mistakes because no one will give them a chance.  Some of them feel like their backed into a corner. Some battle depression.  Others got addicted to their pain medication because the pain wouldn't go away.  Some wanted to feel normal.  Some wanted to feel numb. Others wanted to feel nothing

 People we need to start creating boundaries with family, friends,  and partners so we can have healthy relationships and not what the world calls society normal. If you get in a relationship don't isolate yourself from family and friends because you need family and friends.  If they isolate you from family and friends that's a red flag. They should want friends and want you to have friends.  Don't let people run you over. Don't let them make you become dependent on them because if they do that they will use it to control you and you don't need someone controlling your whole life. Don't make excuses for their bad behavior.  Tell them when things bother you or they will keep doing it or cut them out of your life. Be clear in what you want in friends and relationships. Don't settle for less. You deserve to be happy.  You deserve to be loved. If you want to be married and want romance don't let negative people tell you that it's not possible. It is poss

 Sometimes you have to do you. Anyone who says that is selfish is a liar. You have to recharge your batteries. Energy is everywhere around you whether it be good or bad. Sometimes people suck the life and energy from you so you need some time to recharge yourself.  Sometimes people emotionally dump on you before asking how you are and can you handle it. Some people don't respect that. It's okay to vent to each other but if it's just a one sided complainer who doesn't think of you or your feelings or emotions then set them free if you have expressed that they are doing this so they don't do it to you repeatedly. Take time out to take a bath,watch a movie, nap, walk,yoga, or whatever makes you happy.  It's okay to have alone time. Don't let others make you feel guilty or bad about it.

Battle within My scars run deep They don't see the pain  Judge is what they do Point the finger Get over it Your lazy Your crazy It's all in your head  Heard it all What a sickening world They don't see it The damage their causing Wake up world Stop making everything socially normal when it's not  Depression is real Anxiety I'd real The battle is real Mental health isn't a joke  Many laugh it off They go  haha People stop trusting  Don't want to share their feelings  Feel like a burden  People made them feel that way Some want to disappear not die but disappear  Others want to die Wake up to what is going on around you  It's not a laughing matter  Everyone's scars run deep and you don't always see them By-Me 

 No matter what anyone tells us we deserve the best in life. We deserve good friends and relationships. People who respect our boundaries and respect us as a person.  We don't need their validation or acceptance. If they can't accept us the way we are that is their personal problem.  If we want to change for the better or better our lives that is our choice.  We can't put our happiness in the hands of others or we will be left disappointed.  If you want to change it do it for you not for someone else or to please others.  Stop trying to please others or you are going to be left feeling empty.  All people do sometimes is take and take some more leaving you with nothing and drained of energy.  If they make you feel bad about your life still sounds like a them problem not a you problem.  Just keep trying your best.  Your best is good enough. 

 Stop giving the negative people of the world so much attention.  Stop making negative people so famous for negative stuff. It's disgusting that the people who are doing horrible things are being given that attention. We as people see it in people's real lives and social media. Social media is where we need to start drawing the line. If we would take that attention away and ignored the bad behavior maybe just maybe they would see that it isn't good. People have turned negative into this is a social normal. It is not a social normal. Stop feeding the negative and toxic behavior. Stop saying it's normal.  I'd like to see more of you sharing people who are trying to succeed in life, build each other up, helping one another with small business or businesses, spreading love and light, helping people who are less fortunate, listening to others, being there for people who have depression, anxiety, PTSD,and much more.  So many could be successful if everyone supports everyo

Family and friends are drifting apart so much. It has gotten much worse during the pandemic because of being told social distance and stay indoors.  Social media has become the in thing. Here is the problem people are still bending over backwards to text, call, or FaceTime someone first and some of you out there make excuses of why you can't do it first.  I understand some of you have had toxic ex boyfriends or girlfriends or wives or husband's or family or friends and the list can go on. If people are trying to make an effort it's okay to take baby steps and try to make the same effort that people are making.  No one can read emotions in a text. Things get confusing.  Make time for people.  We need to start making time for people and stop isolating ourselves from the people who do love us and do care about us. People should not have to reach out to you first all the time. The world doesn't revolve around any of us and sometimes we act that way. We all are struggling th

Do you have friends that tell you what to do with your life? I think we all have had those friends.  Sometimes it's like are you concerned about me or do you just always have something to say about my life. Sometimes it can be about relationships,  life stuff, and various other things.  Yes,you might talk to them about some of it but sometimes it feels like they always have a comment and it's like what is going on in your life?!?! Sometimes you wonder are they really for you anymore? It's like they don't stop and think what you want in life. If you don't like my life that is a personal problem.  That is not a problem.  You are aloud to live your life the way you want.  Not how your family, friends, or anyone else tells you to live it. Live the best version of you.

 When it comes to men and women being abused both sexes are both mentally,physically, and sexually abused. When it comes to men though it isn't talked about as much. People make it out like it doesn't happen to them or like they deserve it. No one man or woman deserves any type of abuse. It isn't funny.  It should not be normalized. It should not be swept under the rug. Each sex should be able to talk about their feelings freely and feel safe to do so. They should not be judged for what happened to them and I have first hand seen people laugh, be cruel, and make jokes about it. It isn't a joking matter. People should be ashamed of making fun of people who have been abused. It shouldn't be society normalized. It causes depression,  anxiety,  PTSD, and other disorders. Some become suicidal and commit suicide because cruel people. Stop feeding off of people's trauma. 

 Sometimes things in life get rough and we get overwhelmed. Don't stop living your best life. I understand it hurts.  Do what you have to do to heal and cope. Get help. If you need a therapist or medication Don't believe what the world had to say about it. Even if you have had crappy experiences with one therapist or different medications doesn't mean there isn't a match for you. If you don't want medication look into different coping skills or types of therapy.  Don't ever laugh at someone who uses therapy to get help. You don't know their story.  Many suffer from mental abuse,  sexual abuse, trauma,  have had mental abuse in childhood from family or who knows who, physical abuse,  abusive partners, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and the list can go on. Find someone you feel comfortable talking to. Keep a journal.  Write poetry. Color in a coloring book. Try deep breathing. Listen to music.  Sit outside for 30 minutes a day.  Take a walk. Do what makes you comf
