the Life and Times of Miss Madison

  When I was a young woman, I thought about my life. I needed to decide what I wanted to do with my life.  I have lived in the city all my life (although not a big city like Los Angeles). I remember swinging on a swing at a school and it came to me that I liked children yet I didn't think teaching was in my dna. I'm not a leader. I'm a follower so I set my course to get the education I needed to become a teacher's assistant. However after I completed a 3 unit course called Child Care Aide, I learned I needed 12 ECE units. I had to go to a junior college and get my AA. One thing lead to another. To make it short, all doors to that position had closed and I had no other recourse, but to aim higher and that's when trouble began. I had returned home from trying to find a teaching aide job in Washington State. I stared out applying for admission at a couple of colleges (one a university and one a college), but problems surfaced. Fresno State University kept asking for my...

Ever since I published Baby Blues, my whole life changed and I am not sure for the better. It didn't seem like no one shared my joy. Although during the writing process people couldn't wait to read my book, the excitement died down once my release party began.  And the reviews slowly poured and stopped at  number three leaving with poor  rating average.  Why?  Several people told me the story line was good and  I even had a promise that if a blogger she would write a review about it but I saw nothing about it, The same of another woman. I know I am not a  terrible author. This is the story God put on my heart. I wanted to give my readers an update on my two characters and didn't know that would be a sequel and not a series so I had to fulfill a promise. And since a romance was usually between unmarried couples, I turned it into a woman's fiction. It had to be about Julie. So what kind of issue could she have. First I thought her husband could have a ...

My heart continues to have an outpouring of gratitude every day.  Every day,  I am seeing that my dreams are slowly coming to pass. Never in all my life, have I seen God's goodness to me until this year. Although in the past, He has been good, I just have failed to see it. Over a year ago, Kenneth Copeland received from the Lord the prophecy about this year. He said that 2013 is the year of Great Grace. Normally, I would believe and receive it but it never came to pass for me. Now at this point, some of you may shake your head and stopped reading. You will be thinking, "That is because he is a false teacher." Don't stop reading. God has worked in my life more so this year that I can see, but in ways I have never expected. For many years, I have asked God to please do something about this bulge in my body. Due to my ignorance, I thought it was just muscles so I asked him to remove it. Meanwhile, I have suffered several medical problems not knowing it was related to...

I began a new tradition that I have  found myself asking: "Why?'  The tradition is dressing up before I go anywhere. I would put on cosmetics to give my cheeks and face some color.  My first reason is that I am an author and I should look nice when I go out, but I still ask why. Who  knows that I am an author?  In November I had my first book signing and not one person I know came!  It was depressing! Only my family was there for support. Although I got my interview, not many still knew  about me. I am still an unknown author in the city of Hanford.   The second reason is my hope of attracting the opposite sex.  I even ask myself  why bother? I have yet seen  a man I am attracted to. My ideal man has to sweep me off my feet and wow me!  I read about him in a book called She Belongs To Me by Carmen DeSousa. Although he is a bit controlling it is in  a  good way and then I read more and find out there is a ...
