Hello 46….

It’s about to get even crazier as I have reached a new level of chaos queen….

I had planned to celebrate another year of survival by taking myself out and making a day of it, but Fate had other plans. My mom was in a horrific car crash, and I had to go back to KC for two weeks after just leaving 24 hours prior. I can’t give you details, because they have a legal case, but it was really bad. So, it wasn’t how I had planned to bring in another year, clearly. I got some text messages, but I got a cherry pie to eat with nana, and that was my celebration. Most people forgot or just bypassed it completely, which isn’t out of the norm when it comes to my blood family. Hence why I write about my amazing found family instead.

And yes, I know the world is a dumpster fire, but the universe keeps telling me it’s finally swinging back to the positive, so I’m hopeful and don’t plan on giving up anytime soon. This month may be rough, but it’s only the first month of a new year for me. And I’m stepping up my chaos game…HA!

Although, I have come to realize, when I turned 40 and I thought I was full in, I don’t give a sh!t mode, I couldn’t have been more wrong! 46 took me to a whole deeper level that I didn’t know even existed! And I’m loving every minute of it! *evil laugh

Kickstarter Update….

All rewards have been officially shipped! Which means the campaign is officially over! That is all.

Well…not really. I plan on doing another one in July for my Christmas romcom since I can’t finish it and give it justice before the holidays. So, be prepared for Christmas in July! Because I can’t wait until the end of the year. LOL! But you will be able to get an autographed copy through the Kickstarter! Okay. Now, I’m done.

Christmas Romcom Update….

I’m more than halfway through! And I’m very much in love. I really hope you like it as much as I do! I guess I can be less bitter at the universe for dumping it on me. I don’t know if I will write anymore, but this is definitely a fun one. If you want regular updates, join me on Patreon! I did watch several Halmark Christmas movies while I was in KC, so I got plenty of inspiration! LOL! I also was working some on this while I was away before my migraine hit a level, making me stop for the last few days.

PS: Merry Christmas Ted Cooper was definitely one of my favorites…

Sophie Lee Saga Update….

“Have you given up on finishing the saga?”

Oh, absolutely not! While I was away, I cleaned out some of the basement for mom, and went through some of the genealogy that my dad had been working on for over two decades! Why? Because I wanted to add more of my Scottish/Irish background in.

Winifred is an actual person on my tree, and her background story is real. Both sides of my family came from Scotland. The McMillians (my mom’s side) came from Glasgow, Scotland, and Northern Ireland! And my dad’s side, the McDannald’s, also came from Scotland in Kintyre. It’s going to be fun to share some of that with you in Reign of the Raven and Family of Fate.

I haven’t given up. Just been collecting things the story demanded to be added. Don’t fret…it’s still coming. I give you my word!

Health Update…

I’m still waiting to hear about my case. With the government shutdown, everything has been delayed. The pain keeps trying to increase, but I’m fighting it by being good. (Which is very hard for me, by the way!) I walked the Zdog almost every day, and started paying for it towards the end. I also did a lot of cleaning to help out, and it’s amazing how much physical activity can take me out.

I’m mouthier and tolerate a lot less, which I didn’t think was possible! But here we are. I’m hoping to hear sooner than later, though, because I’m ready to start looking for a new neurologist! I really hope that Wichita can help me out. *fingers crossed

I do hope this finds you surviving, at least. I know we’re all just trying our best. Hang in there! And make sure you’re taking care of yourself, mentally and physically. This is a rough time of the year, already, for many. Check in on your friends and loved ones!

All the best,
Stormi
