I have been blessed with not ever having the Fear of Missing Out curse. I’ve never worried about what other people did or thought. I never worried about what material stuff others had either.

I’ve always wanted to be in a position of being able to get whatever I wanted when I wanted it though. I’d absolutely be irritated and annoyed when I couldn’t get it. But I would work hard and earn my way into getting whatever it was I wanted. Or let it go.

I am not one for traveling either. *Gasp* Honestly, it’s hilarious to me when the folks who love to travel hear me speak the words, “I don’t want to travel.” They act as if I have commited the ultimate sin. I do enjoy listening to the travelers stories and adventures. I enjoy seeing their eyes light up and the joy on their faces as they recall their memories.

I’m not into gossiping. I admit, though, I will listen as others gossip. But I do know not to take all that is being said as real. No one truly knows what is going on in others lives.

I’ve never been a fashionista. I’m all about comfortable clothes. But I do have my moments when I wish I had a sense of style. I have my moments when my introverted self has a burst of energy that desires to be around other people. I have my moments where I want to get dressed up and go someplace fancy-smancy. I have my moments when I want to feel special. I think we all do.

I haven’t been blogging much. I’ve come to the conclusion that if the people closest to me want to know what’s going on in my life, they can simple reach out to me.

As far as the writing life, yes, I am still writing. I will always write as long as I am able. I have been focusing on children books and a childrens series that has been out and available since February 2023. It is written under a pseudo name for branding purposes. Perhaps in the future I will reveal the name here on the blog. For now, I am keeping it close to my heart.

I am also working on the next book for the Beach City Cozy Mysteries series as well as a romance trilogy. I will provide more details soon… most likely on 2025.

Be safe out there. Do what makes you happy. Don’t worry about what others think, have or do.
