It
has been a long journey as 2017 is upon us. We can remember
that time doesn’t wait for anyone, and the years
are passing as fast as we can blink our eyes. Hopefully,
2017 will be the year of changes.
Of
course, there will be many new trials and tribulations
of 2017, and I’m a witness to this important fact.
The stresses are like bouts of snow in Chicago, Illinois.
We hate the snow, and we wish it would go away and never
come back. We also know that we will go through the
good and the bad as this year continues.
I
find myself stressed most of the time, but what gets
me through the day and night is romance therapy. I could
be stressing about a bill I need to pay, but can’t
pay it because of lack of funds, a job I’ve been
trying to find since 2016, a new relationship or a broke
relationship, teenagers, thinking they are grown and
not, I say! The list is endless for me, but there’s
a rainbow at the end of my tunnel and it’s in
the forms of books.
After
a long day of stress at work, I come home and relax
with my iPad mini or kindle paperwhite, and believe
it or not, this peace and calm comes over me. I’m
so in awe of this magical feeling that takes over my
being, and brings a smile to my face.
When
I open my kindle paperwhite or iPad mini, I’m
moving into an arena of its own, like living on another
planet, and in a world where my problems are on the
backburner. I can still relate to someone who might
be going through the same thing I’m going through.
I might just find a solution to my problems right here
in a romance novel. What do you say about that?
In
2016, I found some very interesting books I’ve
been reading. Let me list a few:
•
Love Over 50 - JA Fielding (Club, BWWM)
• Only Love - Victoria H. Smith (BWWM)
• An Unlikely Love After 40 (BWWM)
• Big, Mature and Still Got It: (BWWM)
• More than Business (BWWM Billionaire)
• 14 Day Fiancée (BWWM Billionaire)
I can go on and on about these new books. They are only
0.99 a book, and free if you’re a member of Kindle
Unlimited. These stories are short, and about everyday
life for interracial couples, full-figure women, and
rich men meeting regular women. BWWM is the acronyms
for (Black Women White Men) I love them and recommend
them to everyone. Please check out BWWM-Club/
at Amazon to find these amazing books.
It
amazes me every day the books that continue to invade
my reading pleasure. They just keep coming and these
books are so realistic that you will escape into their
world for a moment or two, and forget about your problems
of the world.
Therapy
– to heal a disorder through treatment; healing
power or quality; a treatment that helps someone feel
better
I
can go on and on as therapy gets into the mental conditions
too, but this isn’t the definition I’m searching
for. When you add romance to therapy you get another
totally different definition of the word. You are finding
an escape of happiness for a hero and heroine as they
encounter the trials of life, and find a satisfactory
solution at the end of the rainbow.
When
I discharge into a world of romance, I am their family,
the hero and heroine, and I want them to find happiness
despite all the minor characters trying to disrupt their
lives for the good. It’s a wonderful seepage of
adventure and peace of mind. It’s like meditating
and yoga together. You will feel that inner peace.
So,
when you’re fighting the demon of bills, and more
bills, life in general, and everything in between, pick
up a book of romance and live a little into a bliss
of heaven. Try it, because you’re going to like
it! Come on and take a romance ride with me! Why not? |
