Women Going Forward: This Can’t Be Happening

How long does it take

to see the truth?

How long does it take

for reality to set in?

My son is in trouble at school for bullying?

This can’t be happening

My son knows better

He would never do this

This has to be a mistake

Why does my husband have a woman’s phone number in his pocket?

This can’t be happening

There must be an explanation

He would never…

He loves me

My boyfriend just pushed me?

This can’t be happening

Are you kidding me?

Is he really one of those guys?

Maybe I’m making too much of it

He says he loves me

But how could he put his hands on my like that?

Is this pot in my daughter’s room?

This can’t be happening

She’s against drugs

She would never do drugs

She’s probably holding it for a friend

I’ll talk to her, but I know it’s not hers

Do I really have a stalker?

This can’t be happening

It has to be my imagination

But I thought I closed my blinds before I left for work

Has somebody really been in my house?

Or am I going crazy…

Maybe I didn’t shut the blinds

My test results show what?

This can’t be happening

Why me?

I need another opinion

Not me… No not me

I can’t believe this

How many excuses do we need to make?

What has to happen before we believe the evidence?

Why are we afraid to trust our gut?

When do we face the truth and stop walking on eggshells?

This can’t be happening… might be happening…

~~~

Rebecca from Returning Injury had a stalker and thought she was going crazy… could she really have a stalker?

What you will win ($60.75 Value):

The Dumpster: One Woman’s Search for Love is a Contemporary Romance Novel set in Miami, Florida about Nicole, a cute, chubby, twenty-something woman, who is looking for love in all the wrong places. Who would have guessed that a dumpster in the back alley below her bedroom window would hold the key to finding love?

With Jack away on business, Rebecca’s looking forward to four days alone to work on her new client’s PR campaign to help women take back their lives. But her past intrudes. Roy, the man who stalked and assaulted her years before, has been released from prison. Home alone in her big, beautiful house out in the country, Rebecca has to learn to take back her own life while facing her fears and regaining her strength. But will she be strong enough when she faces the ultimate test?

This story is about a young woman who hasn’t treated her body like the temple it is—she wasn’t careful with sex or her lifestyle choices—and feared she had contracted HIV. That fear causes her to avoid love, but she learns to love herself. Love will always conquer fear and Christy has much to fear. When she enters the lives of two men, they teach her everything she needs to know about love. But, while dealing with her past issues and trying to treat her body like the temple it is, she teaches them a thing or two in return.

Angie doesn’t want to be a victim anymore. Deep down what she hopes for most is to find a good man to love and to feel safe in this world, but her fears take her down the wrong path. After befriending other women down on their luck, they decide to get revenge on men who go to strip clubs.

Blue the Bird does not want to fly. Follow Blue’s journey of self-discovery. Blue the Bird is a lesson on self-esteem and independence. Great for small children, teenagers with a false sense of entitlement, and adults who need a boost.

Women Going Forward: Last Night’s “Basement” Dream

Last night I had a dream that I was in my home, in the basement… I had no idea that I had a basement. I was so excited and I kept finding new areas and old furniture and extra bathrooms and huge rooms, one with and escalator going up. My newly found basement went on and on.

In my dream I kept showing people my basement and although they thought my basement was cool, they weren’t as impressed as I was–I was so proud of my basement. I couldn’t wait to move things around and make it beautiful.

I’ve had this same dream before, many times.

So, over coffee this morning I decided to look up the meaning of dreaming about a basement.

According to The Complete Idiot’s Guide Dream Dictionary (laughing while typing this), I have serious issues!

Some of the words used: Hidden Inner Desires, Deep Seated Instinctual Side. The Basement represents the part of me that I don’t show to the world.

This fits, it makes sense to me. There is a side of me that I keep hidden and I’m not sure why.

My husband knows and loves my basement. My close friends know all about my crazy basement and they seem to like it too.

So, maybe it’s time I start showing more of myself to more people… I’m going to slowly find my way out of the basement. Maybe painting again is one small step out…

Returning Injury: Rebecca has a Stalker

Returning Injury: Rebecca has a Stalker… Have you ever had a stalker?

Wednesday 5:38 am

Rebecca hung up the phone. She took a deep breath and tried to relax. She couldn’t. She decided to call her mom because it wasn’t that early in New York. “Hi, Ruth. It’s Rebecca.”

“Hi, Rebecca. How are you?”

“Well, to be honest, I’m not doing that well. I feel like I’m going crazy. Remember I told you all about Roy and the trouble I had. Well, he’s been released from prison and I’m home alone and I’m just… nervous.”

“Oh, yes, I remember.”

“I know you don’t like to hear about it, and you think I’m making a big deal out of nothing, but I guess… I just wish I knew that he wouldn’t bother me.” She paused. “Strange things keep happening, and I get the
feeling that he’s watching me.”

“Well, I’ll tell you, Rebecca, he won’t bother you. Too much time has passed. He doesn’t care one bit about where you are and what you’re doing. Plus, he probably feels sorry for everything and knows the best thing to
do is to leave you alone. Really, Rebecca, you have to let this go. It will destroy you if you always live with this hanging over you, being afraid.”

Rebecca took a deep breath. “Thank you, Ruth, I needed that. I wish I didn’t get scared, but I do.”

“Rebecca, I understand, it’s fresh. Time will pass, nothing will happen and you will start to forget about it.”

“You’re right.”

“How is work going? You know, diving into work always helps me feel better.”

Rebecca smiled. She knew Ruth well. “Yes, I have some work to do.”

“Well, good. You get back to work and you’ll forget all about this Ray guy.”

Rebecca didn’t correct her. “I’ll do just that. Thanks, Ruth.”

Hard and Lonely Times

It’s easy to
forget how awesome we are because of our busy lives…

• Sometimes when the alarm goes off in the morning,
  do you ask yourself, “Why bother?”
• Sometimes do you find yourself in a rut of “couch
  potato” and “snacking” and feel guilty because of it?
• Sometimes do you lack the energy to wash your
  face before bed?
• Sometimes do you find yourself so lonely you daydream
  about somebody loving you, even if you’re married or in a relationship?
• Sometimes are you jealous of a group of
  girlfriends at a restaurant and wonder where all your friends are?
• Sometimes do you see somebody jogging and wonder
  how in the world do they do it?
• Sometimes do you wake up feeling energetic and
  make a list of everything you want to achieve for the day and at night you
  realize you only achieved half, so you beat yourself up before you go to
  sleep and wake up in the morning and again wonder, “Why bother?”
• Sometimes do you find it easier to stay quiet
  than to fight with your spouse or children and then you want to hide in
  the bedroom and cry so they can’t see your pain?
• Sometimes do you feel like you’ve become somebody
  else and wonder what happened to your life?
• Sometimes do you wish you had somebody who really
  knew you, could understand you, love you and accept you the way you truly
  are?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, pick up one of my books for some motivation, inspiration, friendship and a few laughs. I, and my characters, have gone through the hard and lonely times, too.

It’s time to pick yourself up, brush yourself off and get the life you want… my characters will help you!
