Hello from Me, May Leigh

Good Morning, I was up until 230am and finished A Stranger in the House, SHIT, this book!!! A little over halfway through I thought I had it figured it out, and then I didn't. I absolutely love books that allow you to think you've figured it out and then not only show you that you're wrong but then surprise the shit out of you over and over again until the book ends. I love that an author is able to do that, The Woman in Cabin 10 is another book I've read recently that was the same way, The Girl on the Train is another, these are the books I apparently love!! I'll head to pick up the Couple Next Door shortly on my way to an escape room (ahhh yah), cannot wait to start it on another front, I HAD no idea that Scarlet Gospel was a book based off of Pinhead/Hellraiser #completeandtotalshock 

I am 14 books into my 30 book challenge for the year. Granted I did not begin until mid-July, so I figured that 30 was reasonable. I started off reading a 300 page book within 24 hours, it has spaced out a little more now, more like 48-72 hours, a week for bigger books. I did get stuck on IT and the Pet Sematary, seeing those movies beforehand slowed my reading and interest down a bit.  In the process I have come across some really great, exceptional books, that I have thoroughly enjoyed reading. In the past I have always leaned more toward Nicholas Sparks books, The Night Circus (if you have not read this book do so IMMEDIATELY!! It is truly an exceptional book that has my heart since I read it), but I have since found my love with thriller books. Started off with The Girl on the Train, Kind worth Killing, I'll list below the books I have read with the star review I gave it, and then the ones I have currently reading and in line to be read on my bookshelf The Shining Stephen

I've spent the past well, let's see, 47 days trying out new recipes, making changes, getting kind of a routine down for meals and snacks. Some have turned out great, but then like the one last night I was really looking forward to, well it did not. I recently received a great list of recipes to try out from the Peta mentor program, the ones I've tried so far have been amazing. So with all of that being said I'm going to spend some time posting some of my favorite recipes for meals and snacks on here over the next few days and week. It is actually quite funny, here in Louisiana, if you mention the word vegan, people become fearful for your life. Kids believe you are going to die from not eating meat, like how did that even happen?! There are NO local meet-up groups on being vegan, animal rights, etc...like NONE I mean I Figured as much on some of this, since hunting is a hobby and favorite past time, and they literally brought in black bears so when they become a t

I read a fe

For most of my adult life I have desired to write a book, to put everything I have onto paper, to tell a story, and hope that it could give hope to just one person. For most of my adult life I have struggled to put the words together onto paper, in a way that kept me writing full force to the end. It is very hard to tell a story about a life you are still living, my lines are often blurred with faded memories and drug induced fuzziness that the timeline never quite matches up. I've recently thought that I could literally do a timeline, the things I know for sure happened at certain age and time, and fill in the blanks to figure out the others. For almost  all of my adult life I have hated my father and often my mother. This is the story I wish to tell, how I arrived there, how I lived through it, and left it behind the best I could. How it turned me into who I am, a demented but thriving 30 something mother, who put so much into the carelessness of her mask to those looking at

For me, a diet wasn't enough to keep me on target, it wasn't enough for me to change to make the changes necessary to stay on track. For me, I needed a lifestyle change, I needed something I believed in, it had to be more than just losing weight I needed something to rid my life of toxins. This had been something I had been working towards for a year, slow intracit moves, directed towards results, and end goal, a destination. For me, honestly, it all started with my hair. My first step was going no poo or curly girl, realizing what those ingredients masked in the form of beautiful scents and shine were chemicals that hid their harm. To read and realize what I had been doing to my hair since birth almost was gut wrenching. That is when u began a search for peace, seeking harmony with my soul and mind. Next was yoga, this was a form of me being able to let go of so much negative energy and toxins that had weighed my soul down for far too long and I desperately needed them gone.
