Holiday seasons are probably the worst time for grieving people because that’s when you miss your love ones the most.  The first year my mom passed we decided not to do Thanksgiving together and I think that was the worst thing to do because we should have come together as a family and grieved together instead of staying at our own homes. Christmas was very hard for me because Christmas was my mother’s favorite holiday.

If you know me, you know I love a good group.  I even host a few groups myself.  I’ve made some amazing connections from the groups I’m in and I’ve met many clients from these groups.  For the next few Thursdays, I will be sharing some of my favorite groups with you. My advice is to check them out.  See if they are a good fit for you, and then participate. Groups are about participating,

I had a fantastic weekend at the Produce*Publish*Promote Summit. We had twelve amazing presenters share their book publishing knowledge with us and 103 attendees eager to learn. I’ve decided to open the summit up to those who missed it. So if you wanted to attend but had other plans, here’s your chance to see what you missed out on. Sign up HERE.  The link to the summit will be at the end of the welcome

I received the dreaded revision letter. I put off reading it for a few days. My editor sent me an email asking was I Ok. I laughed because I hadn’t read it so I didn’t know if I was OK or not. I printed the letter out and read what she had to say. Yes the manuscript needed a lot of work. I must confess this was draft 2 of the book, so it was

I told you all my exciting news of being picked up by Brown Girls Publishing.  Now I have to share my sad/exciting news.  There were a few changes with Brown Girls Publishing and I’ve decided to publish my own book.  Yes I’m a little sad to not work with a publisher, but very excited to try my hand at publishing fiction. My book is currently with an editor and she informed me she would be

It hit me the other day that I’m a published author because of my mother’s death. I asked myself would I have walked past my fears if she were alive and I had to answer no. When she was alive I was afraid to deal with my fears. I wasn’t even acknowledging them. Her death woke me up to all the things I wasn’t doing in my life. She’d always believed I’d be published and

  When I decided to go natural I honestly didn’t think it would be a big deal.  Man was I in for a rude awakening.  I started a journey to learn more about me and my hair and what made us happy. When it came to my hair I never thought about it as being happy but as the years passed I realized that I had to listen to my hair and not to what

I’m always asked how to write a book.  I always say, to sit down and write.  It’s easy to say you want to write a book, the hard part is writing the book.  Many people will leave this earth because they want make time to write the book that’s in there heart.  They’d rather talk about it. I was that way for many years.  I loved talking about writing, but I wasn’t doing much writing. 

The first time I was called the “N” word was last year on a scope I was doing. A troll came into the scope and decided to shake up my world. I politely blocked him. When I thought about it later, I realized that was the first time I’d been called that word and I thought that was amazing since I was 48 and a Black woman living in America. Yes I have experienced a
