I can’t believe I haven’t blogged since the 2nd of this month. My Instagram is also suffering. I guess I’m going through a phase trying to figure out what’s important in my life right now. I’ve got two books I need to review from December and I have a book I had planned to publish in December too, but because I wanted to get it copyrighted, I wasn’t able to publish. It took a month to get the copyright certificate, which was around the first week of this month. Then, I had to decide if I wanted to get it into the Library of Congress and also if I wanted to purchase only one or two ISBNs or 50. I’ve been struggling with plunking down the money for 50 but I think it would be a better deal than to buy one or two.

I’ve also been thinking about future finances. I’ve got a few debts I need to pay off and then I really want to hit hard putting money away for retirement. Nobody tells you this but when you have kids, putting money away for retirement takes a back seat. The kids always come first. Speaking of kids, my youngest will be going to high school next fall and I think that’s hitting me hard. It could also be why I’m finding it so hard to blog and write and do every day things.

Here’s my playlist for January:

“Prism of Life” by Enigma

“Why!” by Enigma

“Looking Through Patient Eyes” by PM Dawn. The lyrics are crazy amazing. Nobody writes lyrics like this anymore.

“Million Miles” by Angelina Jordan

“Sleepwalker” by Qveen Herby. I have to be honest, I wasn’t a fan of Karmin (the name of the group before they switched labels and went with a solo name) back when they first became big. But I love the style of Qveen Herby!
