Whether you are on the giving or receiving end of them, they can certainly be exciting, but also come with consequences. I recently had a medical scare that put me on the receiving end of a second chance at LIFE; which almost led to a second chance at a toxic relationship, but I woke up. I almost let my desperation and fear of ‘dying alone’ suck me back in, but that’s a whole other post. Ha!

Digital vs. Print: The Book Battle Rages On February 2, 2015 – Posted in: Blog, Books, Inspiration, Thoughts

As the holiday shopping season swings into full force, it’s interesting to watch people buying books. Many a wish list has everything from the latest by Stephen King to an Amazon Gift Card (an actual card or via email) to a new e-reader device. Yet the battle for which is more popular is truly running neck and neck. No matter who you ask, the answer is always different, and usually very passionate. Christine Donovan, from Deerfield Beach, FL, says, “I love my Kindle! I can have anything I want at my fingertips! The store is always open, no matter what my mood.” Essentially, she’s right. The internet is always open, and you can go to any site that sells digital books, pick what you want, pay and within seconds it’s downloaded onto whatever device you use.

Two Books with Horrible Dating Advice – Posted in: Blog, Books, Love

When I was single, I hated dating—which is probably why I didn’t do much of it. There are so many unspoken rules, and girls play games, and it’s enough to make you want to become a celibate monk. Okay, it’s not quite that bad. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to find the right girl, and the rest is history. But even though my “game” probably sucked, I knew some common rules of dating. I mean, the really, really basic do’s and don’ts. The same can’t be said for some of these characters from literature. These guys and girls really knew how to screw up some relationships.
