Honestly, you won’t hurt my feelings, and I won’t tell the other people reading this what an asshole you are the minute you go into the other room. I don’t know if you’ve ever experienced the Small World ride. ![]() That’s how we ended up on the subterranean It’s a Small World ride and how I nearly bit it at the place where America goes for fun. Even the stuffed animals started looking less like smiling, playful woodland creatures and more like furry POWs on a forced march through Toonland. The kind of hot that makes people shell out their life savings for a bottle of water without even bitching about it. I know what you’re thinking: WTF? Who dies at Disney World? It’s full of spinning teacups and magical princesses and big-assed chipmunks walking around waving like it’s absolutely normal for jumbo-sized stuffed animals to come to life and pose for photo ops. Like Career Day? Really? Do we need to devote an entire six hours out of the high school year to having “life counselors” tell you all the jobs you could potentially blow at? Is there a reason for dodgeball? Pep rallies? Rad soda commercials featuring Parker Day’s smug, fake-tanned face? I ask you.īut back to the best day of my life, Disney, and my near-death experience. I’m sixteen now, so you can imagine that’s left me with quite a few days of major suckage. ![]() The best day of my life happened when I was five and almost died at Disney World. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Latter-day Saint has faith that the Mormon religion began on Septemin New York, when Joseph Smith had an encounter with God, in which an angel granted him with the "Book of Mormon."

Tiger Eyes, based on Blume’s 1981 novel about a girl whose life is upended when her father dies violently and her mother moves the family from New Jersey to New Mexico, will be released on June 7, in theaters in 10 cities and simultaneously via video on demand. Mother let son choose which film to make. ![]() It wasn’t ‘now or never,’ but it was close.” “But I think she finally decided, ‘I’m not getting any younger,’ and she wanted to be on location, which is really grueling. “There has always been a lot of interest – people who wanted to adapt Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret, or, especially, the Fudge books,” said the author's son, Lawrence Blume. That someone doesn’t call her Judy, or Ms. And in every case, Judy Blume said, “Thanks, but no thanks.” Then, two years ago, someone finally persuaded her to make a feature film based on one of her 28 novels. ![]() Over the years, Hollywood came calling many times. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Being open with your insecurities paradoxically makes you more confident and charismatic around others. “By not giving a fuck that you feel bad, you short-circuit the Feedback Loop from Hell you say to yourself, “I feel like shit, but who gives a fuck?” And then, as if sprinkled by magic fuck-giving fairy dust, you stop hating yourself for feeling so bad.” It lasers in on what you perceive your personal shortcomings and failures to already be, and then emphasizes them for you.” ![]() “But when you stop and really think about it, conventional life advice-all the positive and happy self-help stuff we hear all the time-is actually fixating on what you lack. He explores embracing the negative, taking responsibility for how we respond to everything that happens to us, and prioritizing good values.Īccess My Searchable Collection of 100+ Book Notes Key Takeaways The problem with conventional life advice In this engaging and philosophical read, writer Mark Manson provides philosophical and candid thoughts on how we can live a better life. ![]() ![]() ![]() To be a Black woman in America is to know you cannot protect your children or guarantee their safety, your value is consistently questioned, and even being "twice as good" is often not good enough. ![]() Hidden mental health crisis of anxiety and depression. ![]() The syndrome calls on Black women to be the problem-solvers and chief caretakers for everyone in their lives―never buckling, never feeling vulnerable, and never bothering with their pain. For generations, in response to systemic racism, Black women and African American culture created the persona of the Strong Black Woman, a woman who, motivated by service and sacrifice, handles, manages, and overcomes any problem, any obstacle. Meet Black women who have learned through hard lessons the importance of self-care and how to break through the cultural and family resistance to seeking therapy and professional mental health care. "Marita Golden's The Strong Black Woman busts the myth that Black women are fierce and resilient by letting the reader in under the mask that proclaims 'Black don't crack.'" ― Karen Arrington, coach, mentor, philanthropist, and author of NAACP Image Award-winning Your Next Level Life Major Health Crisis Among Black Women Generated from Systemic Racism ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Brazen by Kelley Armstrong![]() Kelley Armstrong’s Brazen is a fun read for any Armstrong enthusiast (I am one, of course). ![]() There’s action and conflict aplenty for any urban fantasy lover. She has plenty of enemies to battle now: evil politicians who will reveal the existence of her race, and the Order of Nicomedia, who just wants to wipe out the Fangborn. Zoe Miller, an archaeologist, is a newly self-discovered Fangborn who’s had the misfortune to open Pandora’s Box. This is Dana’s second Fangborn book – in the Fangborn world, werewolves, vampires, and seers are dedicated to helping humanity – but of course, this isn’t going to go smoothly, since they must keep their existence secret. So you know I’m going to love her work, and Pack of Strays is well worth your reading time. ![]() Just about anyone who knows me knows that Dana Cameron is one of my best friends. 7/5/2023 0 Comments Get It Right by Skye Kilaen![]() ![]() ![]() Here are five of my absolute favorite LGBTQ romances where at least one main character really struggles before getting to that happy for now or happily ever after.Īn age gap, rock star, urban fantasy M/M romance that begins when Kris Starr, bisexual projective empath and washed-up rock singer, realizes with a start that he’s fallen in love with his manager, Justin Moore. And in romance, I have the guarantee of an HEA! It’s a type of romance I like to call “heavy topics and hurt-comfort,” where one of the main characters is going through something difficult, but the couple gets through it and their relationship ends up stronger because of the care and kindness within it.Ĭrying a little while reading a romance isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but that emotional catharsis is exactly what I’m looking for sometimes. My latest book, If You Want Me Close, is an M/M contemporary about a new friends-to-lovers romance that’s tested by tragedy. Please join me in giving her a big welcome! Skye has come to talk to us about her latest release, If You Want Me Close. Today I am so pleased to welcome Skye Kilaen to Joyfully Jay. ![]() ![]() ![]() James throws us straight into life in Shadow Grove and we immediately watch MK’s life explode on one unfortunate Halloween night. However, it soon becomes apparent that her supposedly perfect world reads more like a horror story that’s filled with more trauma than one person should ever suffer and it’s about to get worse. To the outside world MK is like a princess living in a privileged world most could only dream of. ![]() That’s where our MC Madison Kate Danvers comes in. Shadow Grove is a city divided in two: one side dominated by gangs The Reapers and The Wraiths and the other led by the privileged, namely our MC’s daddy Samuel Danvers. ![]() It was EPIC and also kind of broke me too because holy cliff-hanger batman… but I’m getting way ahead of myself! ![]() Full disclosure, I adore Tate James – something that was cemented when I first read The Vixen’s Lead (shout out to Amazon for dropping that on my recommended reading list way back when). So, I obviously jumped on Hate as soon as I could. ![]() |
