We all have pet peeves, yes? That one, maybe two things that just irritate the hell out of us; you know what I mean? I have one MAJOR PET PEEVE and it’s a liar! I know the saying goes, ‘the truth hurts’, but I personally think it is FAR WORSE to be told a lie, believe a lie, and then find out it is a lie. I tell everyone, regardless of relationship, ‘please don’t lie to me about anything. I will…

Write a story about: ‘A soldier falls in love with the daughter of the enemy’

“I’m sorry we can’t be together, my love. I dream about you every night. We share a deep passion that no one can take from us. I’ve been a warrior my entire life, but now that I know you, I just want to honor you. Your father runs my nation’s enemy, but you are so sweet. My attraction to you doesn’t see your lineage.”“We go to battle soon and I may not return. I pray to my Lord and savior that I…

An Excerpt from Book #2 (Sexy Saturday)

An Excerpt from Book #2 (Sexy Saturday)

‘He leaned in and kissed me. His lips were so soft, and his breath was warm like the scotch. It was a nice mix to the vanilla, sandalwood oil he was wearing. Instantly, I went into attack mode and began to kiss him more vigorously. He loved every minute of it and proceeded to undress me and himself. We fumbled passionately through the removal of shirts and pants; he incredible hulk tore his way…

Toxic; by definition, means containing or being poisonous material especially when capable of death or serious debilitation. A sub definition mentions being harsh or malicious…

When you chose that word, did you mean it? Did you really think I would’ve been cool with it? Was I supposed to laugh and walk away from it?

When you chose that word, was it because I stood in your face and laid a scratch…

A "love-ly" short story

A “love-ly” short story

She loves him because he loved her first. He loved her from the first day he spoke to her. She walked in the room, smelling of sweet perfume. Her heels clicked lightly, as if she was gliding. Immediately, he noticed her, and knew he had to meet her. He was nervous, but he took his steps and followed a path that led him standing in front of her face. “Hello; you’re beautiful, and I’m Jack.” He…

Moved On...

Moved On…

“I don’t care what I accepted in the past, I’m not accepting that sh** now!” She was adamant as she stormed past him. He’s an ex and he left her when she was at her lowest point; he was part of the reason she was down so low. Now, she’s on top of the world and the CEO of a major corporation. He ran into her at a party; mutual friends celebrating their engagement, and he cornered her. “Let’s catch…

Blogging...and, Goals!

Blogging…and, Goals!

Hey!!! Hypothetically, I was asked about goal setting; What are your goals? Have you written them down? What goals do you wish to set with your blog? In full detail, I answered within the pages of my journal; but I will share a small piece with you. I’m a writer, I’ve always been a writer, and I am finally developing my craft and exposing it to the world! I am scared out of my mind! But, I know…

Breathe In...

Breathe In…

Inhale… Exhale… Let it all escape… The big mistake, the long day, the leg pain and the headache

Clear your mind…. Gather your thoughts… Rest and regather your strength

Talk it out… Write it down… Handle it the best way you can

Inhale… Exhale… Contemplate your life… Are you doing enough? Could you do more?

Do it all… Despite the unknowing…. Do not quit…

Inhale… Exhale… Stretch your arms and your…

P I N K P O E T R Y

You used to make me smile and bring me joy

You were smooth to my soul like a latte with soy

You used to make bad days better

You brought balance to tipped scales and wore armor as if it were light as a feather

Good things don’t last forever

Good things will perish

But you made life appear sweet and clever

You used to bring sun on a cloudy day and rain boots for the storm

You used to be the…

My Best Friend (s)

My Best Friend (s)

‘Oh, this is my bestie.’ ‘Let me introduce you to my best friend.’ ‘My bestie has one of those.’ ‘One of my besties and I went to…’

These are all common phrases from my mouth and they describe not one or two people, but about seven or eight people who I hold dear to my heart. These common phrases describe wholesome, warm-hearted, strong-minded, funny, intellectual, attractive people and I am…

Food for thought

Parents….

Don’t stay together for the children…

It does more harm than you think…

Imagine thinking everything is fine and your family unit is tight, and later in life you find out it was a lie and there was no love and minimal respect. Imagine never seeing what true love looks like. Imagine not having a positive image of your family. Imagine hearing strong undertones and loud whispers. Imagine…

FroM the DesK of P I N K

Do what you do with clear understanding of what may or may not come from it…

‘This will never work out for me; in my opinion, we should just move on in different directions.’

Understand that that situation may or may not ever rekindle again…

Don’t make long term decisions based off short term feelings…

Life will always cultivate…

Don’t get caught standing still…

the LOVE letter

Hey Handsome,

When I look at you, my heart flutters. I remember meeting you and thinking, ‘I’ll do whatever I can to keep this soul in my life.’ At 15, I knew I would love you. I learned what you like and you had no issue telling me what you don’t like. You kissed me, for the first time, in a park and you kissed me hello and goodbye every time after. You shared your interests with me. You…
