I’d been poor as shit for my entire life. I’d learned to roll with it most days. Other times, like this morning, it punched me in the teeth.
In Harmony- Emma Scott
I’ve never been hit in the face. My mother didn’t bother disciplining me. Though I saw men hit her and my aunt from time to time, no man has ever hit me, so I didn’t know. I couldn’t have known that the first hit, that baptism into violence, doesn’t just sting the flesh. It startles the soul.
Long Shot- Kennedy Ryan
His children were left behind, like a sock in a drawer that was almost empty, and that was a million times worse than if there was nothing left at all.
Bring Down the Stars- Emma Scott
I’m just a girl, standing in front of a salad, asking it to be a doughnut.
Lost and Found Sisters- Jill Shalvis
Ragged police tape swung from the columns. The double-wide front door had been blown open, like the house had died mid-scream. Like it is still screaming.
Every Deep Desire- Sharon Wray
Gorgeous!! How’s your mom?

That’s good. We are doing OK. They’ve opened a few things like hairdressers, barbers, and coffee shops(just the outdoor patios). If everyone follows the rules, we should be OK.

Slow and easy, that’s the way. 🙂
They’re doing the same here, but I think I’ll wait a while. I have a feeling we’ll get a second surge from this, though I know we have to move forward at some point.
Stay safe ❤

You did a good job showing the beautiful colors. It takes the right time of the day and right sunlight to so that. The sun here is either too bright or not bright enough.
Thank you for sharing. 💐
