REAL 19 Oct 2026

Sleeping hasn't been great. Walking not so much. Some bad eating days and some good days. I keep forgetting to do PT, but trying. I'm trying to enjoy the little moments, like watching the sunrise in glorious colors of pink, peach, and yellow.

How to prepare tofu for dinner: Toss in the trash and make something edible. 

Yep, not a fan of tofu.

Them: "But it made you stronger." 

Me: "No. Jesus did."

The pain didn't make me stronger,

it brought me to my knees.

And there, Jesus met me,

held what was broken,

and rebuilt me piece by piece,

grace by grace.

I didn't survive because

I was strong. I survived because

He never let me go

Curiosity question: What if the mark of the beast is A I? 

TBR 2026

96. A Fine Gentleman (Jonquil Brothers series Book 4) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. A delightfully wild ride. So enjoyable watching characters grow from arrogant and self-centered to humble focus on the other.

97. For Love or Honor (Jonquil Brothers series Book 5) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. Heart wrenching, powerful, inspiring. Keeper, along with all the others.

98. Loving Lieutenant Lancaster (Lancaster Family series Book 4) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. Chronologically, this is where this story fits. I enjoyed reading it again.

99. Christmas at Flagstone Castle (Lancaster Family - All Hearts Come Home for Christmas anthology) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. A sweet novella that fits between Book 4 and 5 of the Lancaster families. It's found as a stand alone but also available in the above anthology.

100. The Heart of Christmas (All Hearts Come Home for Christmas anthology) by Anita Stansfield Regency romance. A sweet story of mending broken hearts.

Reminder

It's okay to not be okay, even at the holidays.

Dear Press: You may report the news, but to be honest I haven't heard you do much of that, not in a long time. What you have become is an opinion outlet and mostly for one side. The stats are kind of hard to ignore. In the last election, one side received 98% negative coverage while the other received 78% positive. Then again, this is not news to me. I've watched you do this for years. It's why I quit watching you decades ago. I saw the truth of who you had decided to be and it was neither honest nor honorable. You're going to have to go a long way before I take you seriously.
