The journey of a year…

The year is almost over. Can you believe it? It’s been a hectic, crazy and learning year. Actually each year is a learning year some more than most. I could give you a long laundry list of what I learn this year but I won’t bore you. I’ll sum it up in one.

I’ve learned to prioritize the most important. Sometimes it is hard when you have so many things pulling at you. Everything seems as if it is a now when in reality there are a few that really knows. Yeah it sounds weird but it’s just as if someone calls you and yells fire and when you run there isn’t actually any fire. You look at them and wonder why you almost broke you neck getting there.

So I’ve learned to prioritize. During this last year some of my important things had been pushed aside and I know now I need them. So my writing, personal life, friends, me time and so many other things are all done on levels of priority. Some are higher up on the list than others and instead of trying to be everywhere at the same time I work by priorities one at a time. I find now that I have more balance for everything.

Prioritizing is a wonderful thing. Now I am off to do one of my top priorities some much deserved me time.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to you all!

Have a safe, joyous and wonderful time with family and friends.

Priceless Holidays

With the holidays upon us it started me thinking of some of my fav holiday memories.

My niece’s first Christmas. She was afraid of the Christmas tree and thought we were all silly for making noises when we opened her gifts for her and sang carols.

The first year my niece understood what Christmas was. The joy on her face as she sung Christmas carols in church in that sweet voice. Then later when she opened gifts and her eyes got so big. She opened everyone gifts having fun ripping the paper.

The fist time in many years my family was all in one state to have thanksgiving together. We laughed, ate and talked. Being together was so special since it had been so long.

The last Christmas I spent with my mom. When we baked, prepared Christmas dinner and opened presents. The joy on her face, her laugh and her striking a posing in her red hat and robe.

All these memories are priceless to me. Each year I build priceless memories that I cannot buy anywhere to me that is the true meaning of the holidays. What are some of your priceless memories?

New babies in the family and family significant others. New friends and so on. I made sure I shopped early this year. Got it all done.

Ah… I love Christmas. I took a walk the other day to see all the pretty lights and decorations. Sigh that’s when I realized I hadn’t gotten a tree. LOL. So much for the lists. Made a quick stop got tree and new decorations. Well off to finish my last minute Christmas Countdown things.

Body Cravings - Some Reviews

I’ve been getting some nice reviews for Body Cravings.  Very excited about them.

Here are some snippets from the reviews.

Lakisha at A Romance Review gives FIVE Roses! She says in part: “Readers I Love this book. Taige Crenshaw delivers a smart, interesting story about two people falling in lust then love with each other. Jacques' sexy seduction of Amara will have you on the edge of your seat. When their bodies meet, it is a sexual explosion. Go out and get this book now. Ms. Crenshaw, you go girl. Give me more, more, more!”

Mrs. Giggles gives a rating of 79! She says in part: “Mara is definitely Jacques' equal - she wants him as much as he wants her. I have to give Ms Crenshaw credit here because she doesn't turn Mara into a stereotypical haughty bitch who ends up being "corrected" into a feminine archetype after having sex with Jacques. Instead, Mara is a pretty realistic character. She's not some over-the-top frigid twit with neurotic tendencies smoking out of her eardrums. What you see in Mara is exactly what you will get, and at the end of the day, she is loved for that.

Body Cravings is a short story that sells a fantasy that exactly to my liking. I have a good time reading this no-nonsense sexy story.”
