· What am I Reading? – Over the past
year I have been reading a lot of horror. Some of it amazing and some not so
much. I’ve been trying to focus on more of the stories with ghost hunters in
them as that is a huge part of my latest WIP. I gotta tell ya, I am finding
myself in a similar place to when I wrote my first series, Trust Me. There is
some awesome horror fiction out there, but nothing seems to be satisfying my fickle
appetite. This must be remedied.
Currently reading Surge
by Donna Elliot - In a flash, her
world changes. And with only the touch of her hand, she kills him…When an
X-class solar flare collides with Earth’s atmosphere, high-energy radiation
annihilates millions and collapses world-wide power grids. Simultaneously, the
electromagnetic storm rushes through the body of sixteen-year-old Mya Bernal,
leaving her with “shocking” abilities. Suddenly faced with dwindling food
supplies, a hostile town take-over, and the murder of two schoolmates, Mya
struggles to control her new powers. But when she and her best friend become a
killer’s next intended targets, a slowly-brewing storm explodes. Ideal for fans
of the Red Queen, Divergent, or I am Number Four series, Surge is a fast-paced,
electrifying adventure of friendship and survival.
· What am I Listening to? –
This year has been all about self-help, help for myself
and my children. I have listened to so many amazing books this year and all
seemed to have a different but specific message for me. This is a good thing as
I feel armed and educated to take on whatever comes at me in 2019!
· What Quote am I pondering? – “You are as young as
you feel.” Well I feel 35, not 45 so I am 35, right? That IS how it works? I
dunno, age is such a relative and subjective thing. A twenty-year-old thinks I’m
old and a sixty-year-old thinks I’m young. So, which is it? My thought is –it all
depends on where YOU are in your journey. For me, I feel like things are just
beginning. I have learned a lot of lessons and now life is saying – okay your
turn to make something happen! Ready, Set, Go!
· What am I Researching?
– Anxiety and Depression, a member of my family is
struggling, and I have had my bouts as well. Wanting to learn more about triggers
and ways to pull out of a slope when it happens. Seems like I have been researching
this for years. I am determined to find an answer.
· Yummy Meal of the week
– Slow
Cooker Sticky Chicken Wings – the key to the yumminess is the sticky! One
of the kids absolute favorites, these are perfect for a Friday night with friends
over (kids or adults!)
· What did I Learn this YEAR?
– “Lack of planning on your part does not constitute
an emergency on my part.” – Sometimes things happen, and everyone starts
freaking out. Is this really the time to lose your cookies? Or is this the time
to put on your big boy / girl pants and get it done? Get it done. Shut out the
noise and the screaming and just get it done.
· What am I Watching? – I finally finished The Umbrella Academy – so awesome. Best part
of the series is the music. A little predictable but the ride is so worth it.
Definitely take the time to watch The Umbrella Academy on Netflix. You will not
regret it!
We watched so many amazing things this year, I will name just a
few. Aquarius, Haunting of Hill House, Daredevil, Haunted, Riverdale, Travelers,
9-1-1, Blindspot, The Gifted, The Runaways, and Future Man. Still so many
missing that are on the list. Will get there eventually!
