Excuse Me for the Radio Silence, My friends! 

I thought I was going to get back into my daily routine last week but along with some unexpected grief I am facing, vertigo has hit me with a vengeance so it was hard to read on a screen, I have battled some new family diagnosises and a bad heartbreak. I had to withdraw myself to go through my grief and process through everything. I don’t understand the reason as to why “when it rains I pours” but it does. But Hey, That’s The Way The Cookie Crumbles! I am still going to strive to keep my positivity and not let everything hold me back from what I love doing and the support of our amazing community ! You guys are the best and have been such a fantastic support to me! I am so thankful for you! I can’t wait to get back into blog hopping daily, interacting with you guys and sprinkling my positivity like glitter!!!😍 I am really in despair about starting to catch up on all my behind book reviews and to be honest I am overwhelmed so kind of froze from doing that because of everything and so much to do. But I am a badass! I am going to brush my mother effin shoulders off and push through! No matter what is going on in my life and how overwhelmed I am, I can’t let my fear take away something that was my passion! Thanks so much guys for all the faith y’all have in me and giving me support and friendship! You are the BEST!!!!

  1. I am sorry about your pain and heartache, Dani. I hope it starts to ease soon. My advice, for what it is worth, is to just delete everything and start afresh without feeling bogged down in a backlog.

    1. Thanks so much for your support, Robbie!!!😊📚❤ I can’t just erase my backlog. I have many authors and publishers awaiting my reviews! Just going to have to be a bit later than expected!😊

  3. Much love, Dani! So sorry for everything you’re going through! Don’t forget to take care of you first! We’ll all be here when you need us! Don’t worry about your backlog of reviews…I review what I can when I can-it comes with having chronic illnesses and chronic pain, plus dealing with all the other things you are! You’re readers will understand and so will the publishers…if they don’t, then oh well! You’re a sweetheart and a tough lady! I know you’ve got this, but know that I’m sending you lots of love and support!! 😙❤🤗💜😍💗

      1. You’re welcome, sweetie! I hope you’re doing better. I know it’s hard. I’ve been having a rough time too…not so much healthwise (that’s the same as it always is, lol) but personally. Not anywhere like you, but I know how it eats you up. I’m dealing with a rough time with my 18 year old, and I’m almost at the end of my rope, but it will work out one way or another. It’s hard when they are still kids who think they are grown ups and know what’s best. I guess they have to learn the hard way…. You’ll always have my support! Hugs! Much love! 🙂 ❤ ❤ ❤

        1. Awww. I’m so glad we are friends, Stephanie! I have been praying for you! That is a tough situation you are going the and you’re right sometimes we all have to learn the hard way. I realized I should have listened to people wiser and older when I was that age but learned the hard way as well. I never think my situation is worse than anyone else. We all have struggles and we all have pain. You are a strong woman and I know you will make it through! You always have my support as well and you are a great person. You got this!

    I had noticed your absence of course, but after your last message, I guessed something was going on to keep you away.
    Take your time, and don’t worry about catching up.
    Best wishes, Pete. xx

    1. That means so much, Chauncey! Coming from a talented author like you and comparing me to Luc, just made my day! All these kind comments truly touched my heart. I am working on my review for Happily btw but I am having a little technical difficulties with WordPress. They keep putting my post in the drafts folder when I try to post it so I am trying to change things around a little and contacted tech support. Ugh.🤤
