Goals for 2017

I am pretty excited for my goals for 2017. This was a long, arduous year, but I got through it, and I think next year will be ten times better. I just wanted to share some of my goals for next year (I have a lot).


  1. Finish "The Clockmaker's Quest" - This is the book I've been writing since 2007. This year I focused on plotting, and I am not finished, but I hope to finish the first draft next year. Then I will submit to an editor, a critique group, and start finding an agent. 
  2. Finish recording and release my 2nd album! - I have already finished writing songs for the album, submitted them to my producer, and I hope to go back to Nashville in January to finish recording. I hope to release sometime in the Spring, then go on tour in the summer. 
  3. Get a synch license- I have been researching different ways to make money as an indie artist, and synch licensing is the way to go. Basically, that means getting your songs into TV/film/commercials. They pay big bucks for these things. 
  4. Exercise and eat right more regularly- I'm in my 30s, and taking better care of my body is just a requirement as I get older. I would like to be able to keep up with the kids. Right now, I can't, and that's just sad. 
  5. Spend less time on social media and more time reading or pursuing goals- Seriously, I spend WAY too much time on my phone. I want to put it down and get in the habit of reading more. I have a shit ton of books that I need to finish. 
Those are my main goals. I won't bore you with the others. What are your goals for 2017, and how do you plan to achieve them?

7 Reasons to Love Being Single

You attract people when you're living your best life.  Men are attracted to women who are driven, who are up to big things, who are committed to their vision. Not someone who is waiting for a man to save them.  Men want a woman they can convince to have a relationship with them, not when they have to "save" them.  Spend time on learning a skill set. Do what you love. Reconnect with your vision personally and professionally.  Spontaneous socializing. Experiment with the types you like hanging out with.  More time to date and love yourself. More 'me' time. Appreciate yourself for who you are, not for who you're with.  Get out of your comfort zone. Explore.  Time to focus on your health.  Take risks to tell people that you find them attractive. Make rejection your friend. Approach people you're attracted to and say 'hi.'  Surround yourself with family and friends you love.

Broken Homes

So life has been so crazy that I almost forgot to blog. Actually, I've been avoiding the ole blog because I really didn't want to talk about what was going on, which is alot of CRAP! Anyway... Alot has been going on. God has been testing me. But... it's all good. I got a job. A temporary job for the holidays, so I'll be kept busy. I need it. A good managerial job to keep me responsible and busy. Seriously though, the past week has been rough. There have been good times, mind you, but emotionally, things have been tough with my family. Through my Recovery group, I've been learning to deal with conflict differently than how I learned in my family, and going back to a family that still practices bad habits is not good for someone recovering from those things. Talk about high stress. So I've been in a lot of deep sorrow, anger, depression, you name it. I just thank GOD that I have the geographical distance from my family, and I have an amazing group of friends here...
