When defecation hits the rotary oscillator. Or in other terms, $h!t hits the fan. I was talking with my mom like I do on a daily basis, and I said I just felt SO FREAKING LOST with my blog. I had a lot going on in the past year. Personally. As I was lamenting, she was like, just make a post and say $h!t happened, and now you’re picking up the pieces and figuring it out.

I owe a lot of people responses, reviews, and reading. Honestly,​ I owe myself more at this moment. Personal life got overwhelming. While I don’t get personal or heavy, I’m laying it out. I was in a funk. I wouldn’t say depressed, because I was still happy to do things​ and interact with people, but I had no drive, focus, and my passion asleep. I was in a funk. I needed to find me, my center, my balance.

Why am I boring you with that? Mainly so you know I haven’t completely fallen off the face of the earth, I’m climbing back up my mountain. I’m realizing I need to set boundaries, say no, and focus on the present, what I have, and my goals and dreams.

I started talking to a therapist and whether you believe in them helping or not, this one is. I will be honest this isn’t my first rodeo. Postpartum led me to find one for the first time in my life. Through trial and error, I found one who assigns homework​ and holds me accountable.

I want to say thank you. Thanks for being loyal and following, and thank you for reading thus far.

Going forward. I have three books that are new releases, that I had agreed to last year before the world went topsy turvy. You will be seeing those three posts in the next week or so. In between them, I plan to post old reviews​ that I had handwritten​ and my mom typed. She rocks BTW. Completely and totally rocks. If I owe you an email response, it’s coming. It is, I just need a bit more time.

In the last year, I have been to two signings, was honored to be a part and work a table for a fave author, even more honored to be asked to dance in one. I met some life long friends who have become integral parts of my life. There will be some swag giveaways and I even have a kindle fire to include in that.

I’ve had a lot of goals around the house​ and wanted to spend time with little man and hubby.​ We lost an officer last year, and I think that happening has created some of the urgency to have moments in time to cherish. Quiet moments, family moments, and happy moments. Some very happy moments have been made.

So thanks again for reading the rambling $h!t post. Enjoy the photos displayed throughout the post.
