    Book: White Smoke

    Author: Tiffany D Jackson

    By: Cece Hymes

    This book was different from the other books by this author. I enjoyed this book. The ending was dry but it was good. It was about a family that moved to start over to get a new start as the saying goes “Change is good, Change is necessary, change is needed. They move into this house that Marigold think it’s haunted and that she keeps thinking about the past. Her family thinks that she may go back to her old ways when her little sister keeps saying things out of her mouth. She sees things , hears things and no one else seems to see.

    (Quick funny tip) while I was reading this book I went out of town and Maigold had a phobia of bed bugs. As I kept reading about that phobia I kept looking around the hotel room and bed looking for bed bugs. The book made me keep the lights on all night. Just a funny thought glad that wasn’t the case whewwww but this book had me searching..

    This book wasn’t one of her best books but it was good. The whole time had me thinking the whole town knew about this house and something wasn’t right. Marigold was smart and looked into things. Sometimes we all need to go that extra mile and do research. If you are looking for a classic haunted house story you might enjoy this one.

  • Intimacy

    Intimacy

    Intimacy is being close
    To your partner or maybe a spouse
    The closeness that you have
    Between the two also can
    Be a turn on for both of you

    How close do you want to be
    Maybe in between the sheets
    Grabbing them and holding on
    For mercy

    The fire we make
    Sometimes have your legs shake
    Them emotions you have
    Going through your body rate

    Intimacy can start with a kiss
    It can be so passionate and sweetness and can get you intense

    Open up to me
    Let’s be private and cozy
    I feel safe with you
    So many things we going to do

    Relax your mind
    I am going take my time
    Treat you right
    And sex you all night

    Intimacy you have to be
    Vulnerable and sexy

    Dont be shy
    This is the time
    Got to make sure
    I am on your mind

    I am ready as you can see
    I want to have a commitment and intimacy

    Let’s see what 2022 brings
    A good man and great things
    And alot of intimacy…….

  • Friendship

    So I joined with a friend doing poetry every week so last week was friendship what you think

    Friendship

    What is Friendship
    A bond between the two
    A trust within me and you
    The time that is spent between the two
    And people we look up too

    We have friends that are strong
    We have friends that are wrong
    But that friendship boy
    We have to build bonds

    We have friends for years
    We have some that last for days
    But the good thing we have
    Is great memories

    Friendship is important
    And we all do need
    That one good friend
    We can talk to yes indeed

    Tell your friends
    You love them
    Every chance you get
    Time is short
    So enjoy the present

    I am grateful
    For the friends that I have
    And hope you are too
    This poem is dedicated
    To friendship
    So tell them
    I love you

    Thanks for reading this poem and thanks for this challenge
    Your friendship means alot and glad that we bonded

  • Act Your Age, Eve Brown

    Book: Act Your Age, Eve Brown

    Author: Talia Hibbett

    By: Cece Hymes

    This book was a very good book. I enjoyed reading about Eve Brown and Jacob Wayne. It all started as Eve being all over the place. She is 26 and still staying home with her parents and they help take care of her. She is very smart. She has had plenty of business but not a career. Her parents get on her to get it together and at least hold down a position for a year. Eve leaves and pulls up at this Bed and Breakfast and sees that they are hiring.

    Jacob Wayne is the owner of the Bed and Breakfast. He likes to be in control and very demanding of things. He is looking for a chef and very particular on who is going to work there. Eve comes in and she is very firm with him. She is leaving out and as she is about to pull off she doesn’t look back and hits Jacob.

    So, she feels guilty and stays to help him out. At first, they both kept throwing a lot of mean shots to each other. Then they get to know each other and fall for one another. Eve brings happiness to the Bed and Breakfast and tries out new ideas.

    These two fell in love and the thing I loved about the book is how they communicated. Majority of the time Eve was straight forward of what she wanted and how she wanted things. She was really good at what she does, and she really loved it. She had found something that she really enjoys, and, on the way, she found a friend and a lover. They say Love can come when unexpected it can be days, months, years and sometimes love at first sight. I feel that if you see something you want you go for it. Communication is the key to a lot of things.

    Do you think that sometimes you are put in the right place at the right time? Do you think that you can fall in love at first sight? Do you think love has no color? Do you think that being straightforward with a person and letting them know what you want is a good thing? Do you judge a person by their first interaction?

    I can’t wait to read more books by this author. I love a great love story. Especially one with some hard times and real life. It had some Juicy things in there also to keep the excitement going. I am hoping there is a part 2. I would love to see how this story ends.

  • Cowboys vs Buccaneers


    Thursday Night Football

    Cowboys vs Buccaneers

    By: Cece Hymes

    It’s Thursday night football and the Cowboys looked good out there against those Buccaneers. They say T. Brady is the goat and those boys look good out there against the goat. A little disappointed on how the kicker missed a couple kicks at the beginning. Defense definitely needed to tighten up more; they got run over a lot of times. Some calls didn’t get called but that’s all a part of Football. Can’t let that be a reason for losing.

    The first game was a great way to start off. Amari Cooper had 13 Receptions, 139 receiving yds and 2 touchdowns. I see some of Dez Bryant’s ways in him. Dak Prescott had 42/58 Comp/Att 403 pass yds, 3 TD while Tom Brady had 32/50 Comp/Att, 379 pass yds, and 4 TD.  Cowboys 29-Buccaneers 31 very close game.

    The Dallas Cowboys are America’s most hated team. The Cowboys were down one point with 1:24 to go in the kickoff to the NFL season and Brady pulled it off with the win. The team did a good job distributing the ball on the perimeter.

    Really love watching a good game. These are the kind of games fans love. Where everyone is out there playing some good Football. Glad that the season is here. Look forward to a great season. Lets Go Cowboys.

  • All That Really Matters by Nicole Deese

    Book: All That Really Matters by Nicole Deese

    By: Cece Hymes

    This book was such a good book. Molly McKenenzie was a bright personality and on-tend fashion and beauty social media Influencer. Her manager, who is also her boyfriend, tells her that she has to get to a million views also to do a shoot and advertise for this company to move up. He wants her to volunteer more. To gain an edge on her competitors, she plans to volunteer for the summer at a transitional program for aged-out foster kids, but the program director, Silas Whitaker is giving her a hard time. The Program Director has so many rules and terms for volunteering. It’s like he judges a book by his cover.

    Molly has a best friend Val that edits and posts all her videos and has been working with her for years. She has become very close to Molly even though they never met in person. Molly also has a twin brother that’s a pastor that she meets up with once or twice a month. Him and his parents don’t believe in social influencers.

    Molly dives into mentoring and really enjoys helping them. She puts a lot of time into it and really gets connected to one of the girls. Her and the manager/boyfriend have a break up over something he wants her to do that she was not willing to do. He tries to turn her whole career into shambles even by taking her best friend Val away.

    The mentoring program that she is helping needs to raise money in order to keep things going, Molly gets close to the Program director which he sees her for now they gain a big attraction to each other and work as a team. Something tragic has happened with her career, the girls, the mentoring all at once. Molly finds and tries to figure out who she really is. Salis is right there for her the whole step of the way.

    This book showed me so many tips like how to get a following and be organic as a social media influencer. Also it showed me that mentoring and volunteering can do for a person. Also what the youth needs from this community. I also learned to let love find you and to give forgiveness. A lot of people deserve second chances especially if they are trying to change. I loved this book in so many ways. It’s positive and inspiring. I can’t wait to read another book by this author.
