I just picked up A New Kind of Bliss from the bookstore and can’t wait to read it!

. IMO, they’re the same as the adult historicals, but without the sexy. These books are being re-issued by Kimani TRU next year as Josephine and Belle, respectively.

I just find it best to deal with my own issues and if I need to talk about it and get an outside view I do; but only after I’ve exhausted all solutions myself.

I so get it. I still have to struggle to get over things my sister shared with me about my brother-in-law though she is long over it and moving on. So when I married I was determined not to share too much, too often. Now that the marriage is over, I still don’t share the negative. We failed each other as spouses, but I don’t have the right to try to convince others that he failed them as in-law, friend, or acquaintance.

Loved this post. Best to you!!!!

Tenure finally is done!

Bit of a controversial issue among church folks, yes?

In general, I don’t gamble. It’s been many years since I bought a lottery ticket and I only went to a casino once, a high school graduation present. But I do usually fill out an NCAA bracket, usually just for the fun of it, although occasionally for a buck or two. One year, I won a set of marriage encounter CDs from a Christian marriage enrichment site that was hosting the brackets.

Then there’s the American Idol pool at work. This year I passed but last I did win maybe $10 one week.

I’ve got a story idea I’m playing with about church folks and the lottery. I think that’s my next story after I finish the current wip that just won’t end. Look forward to reading A Million Blessings.

Hi Rini, get back to work!

Shelia, I’m jealous. Don’t you enjoy yourself just a little more when you know you got a good deal? You did extremely well. So when’s your next cruise?

This is a great idea. It’s good that both parties know what they are getting themselves into. When me and my ex-fiance were in counseling, the preacher suggested we have one account. My ex was not good with money. There was no way he would have access to my account so I openly disagreed with the preacher.

Angela, I love going on cruises. I usually go by myself and end up meeting interesting people. I went on a 7 day cruise for $450 one year. I booked it the week of the cruise. I decided at the last minute to attend this book conference and the travel agent gave me a price I couldn’t refuse. LOL

I like cruises because of the variety of entertainment and destinations at a low price and of course the people are interesting and the food is good.

Hi Dr. Benson,

Got hooked to your blog! Not a good time to write a comment now except the last part of the dissertation. But reading about cruise was refreshing!
