Fill ‘Er Up!
Half empty. Half full.
No doubt that expression immediately brings to mind the well-known illustration of the half-filled glass. This, of course, relates to the differences between how optimists and pessimists view the same glass of water.
A few years back, thanks to a well-aimed kick-in-the-pants from a good friend, I had it pointed out to me that my outlook on life had gotten pretty darned pessimistic. At first disbelieving, it didn’t take long for me to realize she had a point. Color me surprised. I saw myself as a realist, but at some point, when I wasn’t looking, I’d been taken over by (gasp!) the dark side.
Worriers Anonymous, Anyone?
Agonizing. Stressing. Stewing. Brooding. Fretting.
Worrying.
The list of synonyms is endless, I suspect because worrying is so prevalent a pastime. But, whatever you want to call it, the end result is the same – countless hours of wasted time and energy fretting over things you generally have no control over.
I don’t know about you, but I can worry like nobody’s business. In fact, I’d go so far as to say I could win an Olympic competition in the event. Why do I say that? Because I can take a miniscule germ of a concern that’s niggling away in the back of my mind and turn it into a monstrosity of anxiety that consumes my every waking thought.
Is it a waste of time? Yes. A waste of energy? Hell, yeah!
Ready Or Not - Released Today!
Hello Everyone! I’m very excited to announce the release of my first book, Ready or Not!

Genre: Contemporary Romance
ISBN: 1-59998-616-7
Length: Novella
Price: 3.50
Tagline:
He thinks she’s a flake. She thinks he’s uptight. But neither is quite what the other expected. Especially in the bedroom.
Blurb:
Brianna Michaels is in a fix. She’s doing her best friend a favor, and making a bit of much-needed cash at the same time. Sounds like a win-win situation all around—on the surface. But since the favor is to fill in as a bachelor-party stripper, and straight-laced Quinn MacRae, the man she’s been fantasizing about for years, is in the audience, all is not so great in her little world at the moment.
Quinn MacRae has a problem of his own, and the problem’s name is Brianna. He’s been secretly lusting after her for ages, but as an attorney with a stodgy and prestigious law firm, he has a reputation to maintain, especially if he wants to make partner any time soon. What he needs to do is find the right woman—one who’ll be an asset to his career plans. Which means Brianna’s the last person he should be looking at. Or lusting after. But lust he does, and with a vengeance. Especially after her oh-so-sexy stripper act shows him exactly what he’s been missing.
