Happy Fun Fri-Yayyy Everyone!
It’s sunny in California!!!! Yayyy!
I’m so excited to share one of my poems that will be in Gabriela Maria Milton’s Book HIDDEN IN CHILDHOOD ,that will be released at the end of the month on Amazon. As you most likely know, Gabriela is an Amazon bestselling poet and an internationally published author. She is the author of the #1 best-selling poetry collection Wounds I Healed: Poetry of Strong Woman (I’m honored to be featured in this book as well), Woman: Splendor and Sorrow: | Love Poems and other writings.
I am so honored to be featured with so many other talented authors and I can’t wait to read all of your poems. I know I speak for all of us when I say how honored we all are to be part of your book Gabriela❣️
Have a wonderful weekend! Lots of love and laughter as you move into the weekending. My husband said if I put this much energy into something like this that paid, I would be rich. He obviously doesn’t understand the life of of a writer or my fame and fortune coming soon, or how much fun we all have here. 🤣💗😂❣️
Don’t forget to listen for the exact release of Gabriel’s book and get your copy and some extras for gifts❣️
Cheers,
💗🥂
Cindy
P.S. I tried to have Elvis accompany me in the background but it was either too high or too low as in this case so here you go.

Happy Friday, Cindy. Congratulations on your poem’s publication!! Love your video. The weather looks marvelous. Ollie is a star!!

We gotta follow our fav girl someday and go alnatural.. but not yet for me.. lol/. Oh thanks.. that was just a little giddy up from the costume closet. Oh I like the sound me looking refreshed dearie. A little secret, I am truly mousey brown. When the kids came out blonde, I was like I look like the nanny so dyed my hair. Ha!

LMAO 😂😲🤣 Girl you are a barrel of laughter and I love it!!! Well, honey chile, I am on the same page as you with the “natural hair” color. I am so not ready to look like a great grandma, 👵🏽 so the box of my favorite colored hair dye is right up my alley! 👩🏽 I love the way you roll dawwwwlinkkkkk!!! This is how we do it!!!! 😍💖🥰🥂😘
Oh am I glad to hear that Kymdawwwwwlink. what can I say but you bring it out in me honey chile.. ha. see.. No grannies yet, coming soon enough. Have a great say dearest! 💞😂🥰

“My husband said if I put this much energy into something like this that paid, I would be rich. He obviously doesn’t understand the life of of a writer or my fame and fortune coming soon,” I hear ya Cindy, you won’t understand if you’re not a writer. 😛😉😂
😂🤣😂👏 Hear hear Ken!!! love you loved and laughed. Thanks a lot! 💞🥂
Congrats, Cindy! I loved the video and Ollie is the star of the show!💖
Thanks so much Eugi! She always is!!! We could get paid royalties on her for sure 💞😂❣️
You’re welcome, Cindy!💖
❤️💗
Fun poem full of all the memories. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing some of that California sunshine.
Hi VJ! Glad you enjoyed it VJ! Thanks a lot. You’re welcome, glad to share it. Nice the rain has cleared. It’s colder now which I can never figure out.💞
I love the hair, Cindy, LOL. I lost mine once while ice skating in those teen days. I couldn’t help hoping that yours stayed on in the breeze. Your poem and makeup were fabulous! Big eye makeup is the rage. Glad you had such a great opportunity and so much fun. 🙂 Happy weekend. BTW, my husband says the same thing. Hi to Ollie.
Glad you got a kick out of it Marsha! Oh that is too funny. You lost it like on the rink? Hysterical.😂 I was shocked this worked. Oh remember the cat eyes and I couldn’t find the right glasses but good enough. If I had your photo /video talent, I’d a had a movie with Elvis in the background and a Cadillac driving by etc. I do dream up these opportunities of fun which keep me going. Thanks so much and you have a great one as well! Awww tell Vince Ollie sends scratchy kisses and meows! ❣️💗
I’ll tell Moji, too. She’s missing Nutters. http://alwayswrite.blog/2012/11/30/a-wig-and-a-promise/ Here’s my first story.
awwww I’ll go see!!! 🥰
I think I remember the skating picture of you but I thought that was your real hair. I couldn’t comment there. Oh that must have been something else to loose it. Hi Moji. Ollie and Star send their love! 💗
It was an experience not to forget! You can’t comment on any of my older posts. I cut off comments after 30 days to cut down on spam. Most of our spam comments are made on posts that are old. I went from about 700 a month down to under 10 but cutting off comments on old posts.
Oh got it. I was looking and looking. that’s so weird. is that something we should do now?
It’s totally up to you. I read all my comments, and delete spam, and got tired to deleting spam comments. I should probably put warnings up somewhere, just in case a reader is not a spammer.
It’s all a blur to me for sure and I try that too! Thanks ❣️
Wonderful poem! That really brings back some memories. Congratulations on the good weather! And your cat is so beautiful! Have a blessed weekend, Cindy!
Thank you so much Dawn. Glad you liked it and it so did. Thank goodness we have a break in the action. Awww thanks. She seems to be the mascot here. She says thanks. You do the same Dawn!
Thanks a bunch! 💗
What a gorgeous reading Cindy! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sending lots of love.
xoxo

I loved your reading, Cindy, and how much flair you have! It was a delight. Congrats on the publication! I can’t wait for the book to come out. Hugs.
Thank you so much Diana and glad you enjoyed the flair. My dad liked it mostly and said well I liked it until you said you were trying to you know. I said “Dad, I was referring to you (he was a player).. I should have said passionate kisses or something instead. Kinda racy actually. Oh well, I can’t go back. My poem a dog with a bone (my fav) did not get accepted also referring to him.. lol! I can’t either, it will be awesome.💗
I don’t know which of mine were accepted or whether they both were. Lol. I’ll find out when I read!
Oh great.. I can’t wait to read them!!! 💞
