Fall For Something Worth Falling For

-


 Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and are looking at the future bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. 


I have experienced an exorbitant amount of emotions in the last two weeks. I blame myself though…. My expectations were set high and because of that they weren't really met. Oh well. As the saying goes, “That’s life.” 


Instead of dwelling, I decided to reset and refocus my energy. What I cannot change is out of my control… What I have control of, is under my spell per se. 


Meaning, that I am focusing on these things over anything else. 


For the past couple of years, I have spilled energy into areas of my life that have just disappointed me. They have been at the forefront instead of taking a backseat. Just as I have taken the backseat… because you know, “That’s life.” 


And life is busy and YOU are more or less a choice in prioritizing. I guess it took these past two weeks to see that. To really understand it. 


To finally accept it. 


So here I am… acknowledging this and forging ahead. My priorities have shifted. It's no more about other people… It is about me. I am already here and the tools I have, I will use. The one biggie is this- I don't have time for people who barely have time for me. The applications for the bare minimum have been filled up and that job has been taken. 


If I am focused on that then the focus is where it should not be and the only thing I should be focused on right now is my book series. 


I don't want to be anyone’s story they tell. I don't want to be an acquaintance that cures a lonely night or the last thing anyone has going on… because I have made my books what is going on. 


This may sound harsh but after years of feeling like I have been placed in a corner, I fully understand that the only way to step out of that place is by getting up and walking away. 


Maybe it is true that in order to receive you have to let go. And this year that is what I am doing… BECAUSE BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR… I truly want to say, “I got everything I worked for.” 


New slate, I guess. 


Again friends… thanks for the support and yeah… check out my book. The second part of the series comes out soon. 


Let's do this and may you all strive and receive what you have been asking for as well. 


Until next time, 

Regina

Sleepless Nights at The Chateau...Visualize

  When I say it’s been one hell of a wild ride this month, that’s no exaggeration. I have said on repeat, “Someone pinch me...this can’t be happening?” Because that’s exactly what has happened. Things I’ve been hoping for and wishing on every night since I can remember are coming into fruition.   I can’t even really describe it...because I have no clue why the fuck this is all going now? Especially now. Shit. Like. This. Doesn’t. Happen. To. Me. And I’m not complaining...I’m over here like, “Hell yeah...I welcome you with open arms.”  Still...I can’t get over the surprising manifestation of it all. I’m shook y’all.  Smiling and stoked but shook.  I have put a huge amount of effort into the things I want my life to include and I got especially descriptive last year. I guess you could say, being in a locked down state...gave me no other option than to truly focus on these other tasks at hand. Tasks, before the pandemic, I dismissed    then got angry when they didn’t magically appear. In

  Hi! Happy Thursday. I'm not really sure what is going on but my blog is exploding with readers.  This is the most exciting feeling ever. So, thank you!  Anyway… it's almost the weekend and since the surge in views has me motivated, I wanted to share a “mixtape” I made that inspired my first book,  Falling Backward .  Falling Free  will have an equally wonderful playlist but I won't share that until December when book two officially comes out.  For now though and because  Music is Life … enjoy this magical, musical selection. And if you like it or have enjoyed my other posts and what to support me even further, I'm attaching my book link as well. Let's get this thing sold!  Cheers, to goals! Cheers, to you! Cheers, to us!  https://spotify.link/n3vePIWdhDb  Falling Mixtape/Book One https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1639886672/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=  The Book!

Into The Wild

  All it takes is one song. Just one...to make the words trapped in mind find their proper release.  Yesterday...after many jumbled thoughts still couldn’t find their outlet, I heard a song. It got me thinking. About the past...the present...and of course, the future. You know...the type of shit that keeps one up at night.  So much of my story is still very much unwritten. I’m 40 after all but ‘line by line’ is waiting to be etched in. One day down, one step closer. The unknown waiting to be written down.  The words to the song were reminiscent. They reminded me that the feelings I have are real and tangible. They were never fleeting. It just took an awakening. It took eyes opening. It took a triggering of sorts.  Songs and music have always done this to me. I’m sure I’m not the only one? A specific track can take me back or propel me forward and no matter what these songs and these lyrics always find their way to me at just the right moment. Much like many things in my life-the timing
