We interrupt the normal random ramblings and loose thoughts of this blog to shamelessly plug the latest work from my friend (literary AND literally), Linda Dominique Grosvenor - THE PLURAL THING (aka Princess Dominique). I’m so excited about this book (ok, ALL her books) and can’t wait to crack the spine on this one. Hop over to her website to read an excerpt.

AVOID COUNTERFEITS. LOVE BETTER. MARRY WELL.

Are you having the same recycled relationships year after year and expecting different results? Are you expecting your mate to come up and be more but can’t see your flaws or are unwilling to change yourself? Have you all but given up on ever finding a compatible mate? Are you at the point that you are finally tired of doing it your way and are ready to cast your relationship cares on Him once and for all?

The Plural Thing: Spiritually Preparing for Your Soul Mate is Changing Lives!

The Plural Thing: Spiritually Preparing for Your Soul Mate by Linda Dominique Grosvenor is unadulterated, hard-hitting, tough-loving, no-nonsense truth. With Biblical principles, keen insight, self-disclosure and candidness Linda Dominique Grosvenor provides guidance to those struggling with sexual soul ties, an adulterous relationship, low self-esteem and have resigned themselves to settling for second-best or finally want the freedom to receive God’s blessings for their lives.

“Christian women all too often settle for someone that is not God’s intended soul mate for them. They may get in a rush and run ahead of God or they simply settle for the first opportunity for marriage that comes along. If you are currently hunting for a man, please consider reading The Plural Thing: Spiritually Preparing for Your Soul Mate first!” — Diana Pederson for BellaOnline.com

“Real love-God-give love-isn’t always found in expected places. Neither are good reads. The Plural Thing by Linda Dominique Grosvenor is one of those surprises. Single or married, all women will find encouragement and healing here.” –Marilynn Griffith, author of Pink, Made of Honor and If the Shoe Fits

This book is a labor of love and the pre-ordering frenzy began in January when the author hinted at a revised edition. Because relationships are a sensitive subject, guidance like this is sorely needed. It’s guaranteed to SELL OUT. Don’t wait to borrow your best friend’s copy. Don’t end up on the waiting list for a copy either. Get your own copy of The Plural Thing: Spiritually Preparing for Your Soul Mate today at Amazon.com.

Can I share a quick story with you?

OK…once upon a time, there was a girl who was looking forward to having lunch with two of her friends. She went to pick them up and they drove to the restaurant - laughing, talking, and enjoying each others’ company.

They parked and went into the restaurant. Conversation flowed. Laughter sat down with them the entire time. They had a great time. Two hours later, they decided it was time to get back to the get back.

The girl searched her purse for car keys. None to be found. She turned the purse upside down, inside out. No keys. Thought aloud they must be IN the car. Not panicking, they walk out to the car, musing aloud how they’d get to their destination if the keys were lost…or locked in the car.

One of the friends ran ahead to see if the keys were in the ignition. They were.

And the car was still running.

The End.

Princess Dominique…maybe she saw “Cakeman”. That’s enough to unnerve any female. Can you say “Da-YUM” with emphasis on the “YUM”? Um…well, that’s what she said, I’m just telling her story.

How’s this for a review? I didn’t know it had been posted until someone contacted me about helping me promote my book. Check it out! Oh, and for you, I’m dropping your book in the mail tomorrow morning. I promise. It’s just that, the “perfect” inscription eludes me. I’m working on it. For real.

Love’s Reparations: The Learning Curve Between Heartache and Healing

ISBN: 0978760204

RAW Rating: 4.5

Naked…

Jackie Young’s collection, LOVE’S REPARATIONS is a beautiful, honest, truthful and talent-filled compilation of poetry. The personal pieces are thought-provoking and will resonate long after the last poem is read.

Choosing favorites from this collection is almost impossible because each poem has a beauty of its own. LOVE’S REPARATIONS is divided into three sections: Heartache, Learning Curve and Healing. Each of the poems in the separate sections reflects in earnest the feelings of loving, healing and learning from one’s experiences. “Last Supper” uses metaphors of food to acknowledge a lover’s heartbreak. “Bewildered” is taking a look at one’s self and not recognizing who you are anymore. “Musings” is a beautiful piece about becoming one with your poetry. “Homecoming” is welcoming back love after not embracing it due to heartbreak. “Harvest” is about cultivating love. “Peace” is about finding just that. Finally, “Baby Steps” is learning how to follow in God’s wake by taking little steps at a time until you learn how to walk with the Lord.

LOVE’S REPARATIONS is a metaphorical and lyrical collection that made me smile, cry and most of all reflect. The poems are to be read slowly so you can absorb their meaning and understand their truth. Young’s collection speaks eloquently about the pain of heartbreak, how we can learn from past mistakes and begin to walk the path of healing. Whether the poem was long or short, the strength of its meaning are easily discerned. Young is a very talented poet who is able to use metaphors in a way to capture the emotional depths of each poem. My words cannot adequately reflect my feelings after reading this collection, but I can say poetry lovers and readers alike will be awestruck by this book, it is just that good.
