Trick or Treat? No time to waste
The night grows short, decide
Come to me, my Fantasy
Cast your Fears aside
I’ll trick you into Ecstasy
And satisfy your Desire
The Treat is mine, you understand
I’ll set your Soul Afire
Come closer now
And Feel the Heat
Of Passions open Flame
Give in to Me, My Sweet Trick
You’ll Never be the Same

I’m thrilled to announce that my second book of poetry “Marrow of the Soul – A Collection of Poetry from the Heart”, is now available as a pre-release from the publisher. This book contains 100 poems, including over 35 poems never before seen and I’m excited to share them with you!
The cover has a very significant meaning to me. My son, Jonathan, designed it based on an idea I presented to him. The cover is actually my daughter and me made to look like we are sharing our souls, our marrow.
This book will be available from Amazon in paperback & Kindle editions on or about November 1, 2014.
If you would like a signed copy, please email me or leave a comment with your email and I will let you know what to do.
As always, thank you to everyone who has supported me this past year. Here’s to many years (and books) ahead!

Truth is, it’s no joke. I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Along with that comes the daily blood testing (my fingers are rebelling) and all the “you can’t have this” and “watch your carbs”. You have to understand that telling me to “watch my carbs” is like cutting off both arms and legs. I am a carbaholic. But, cut them I have. However, I absolutely refuse to eliminate them from my eating plan.
I guess it was inevitable. My paternal grandmother was diabetic, my dad was and my mom is. Genetics is not on my side. However, I refuse to let this dominate who I am. I am in control. And I say “TAKE A HIKE, GET LOST, GO AWAY!” So this is my next journey in this thing called life. I refuse to allow any illness to take over my being. I have fought all my life, from my birth, a major car accident (in which the officer on the scene said he was only dispatched for fatalities. I told him I was sorry I ruined his day), to being diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis, an illness that completely turned my life upside down. But here I am, still standing, stronger than ever and more determined to rid myself of these evil entities.
I guess you’re wondering why I am telling you this. It’s like this. If you’re following my blog or reading on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, etc, then you’re already on my journey with me. The ups and downs of my writing are a reflection of me. And you’re along for the ride. Buckle up, it may get bumpy.
If you have Diabetes and would like to share your story, tips, etc, please feel free to leave a comment. I would love to know how others handle their condition. Thanks!

Mystical winds blow
A Mystery unfolds
Held in my hands
Fate hidden, untold
Conjuring Spirits
Bound, Beholden
Your Future unravels
Resplendent, Golden
A Crystal globe Shines
With Sun’s Magic Spell
Revenant, Fortune’s Favor
Enchantingly dwells
