    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.

  • The Therapist by B.A. Paris

    The Therapist by B.A. Paris

    By: Cece Hymes

    This book here had a twist to it. So, Alice and Leo move into a newly renovated house. They had been dating awhile and the distance they had they wanted something closer. So, they move in this house in the circle, a gated community, everything they ever wanted.

    Alice wants to get to know her neighbors and see about this house and she finds out that it was a murder/suicide that occurred in this house that her partner kept away from her. Alice finds out that the lady that was murdered, was named Nina the same as her sister that died. She becomes obsessed with trying to figure out what happened.

    She asks the neighbors questions, but they all want her to leave it alone. They all want to believe that Nina’s husband killed her, but they all don’t really believe it.  A supposedly detective comes and leave a card saying that he still looking for the real murder. Alice starts hearing things in the house. She starts thinking Nina is watching her and that her soul is there. She also starts being suspicious of her husband, the neighbors and their husbands. She trying to solve a murder while talking to this supposedly detective.

    Alice miss so many clues trying to find this murder and that it was a tragic at the end. You would have never thought of it. As she finds out who the person is it also puts her in danger. The whole time I believed that Alice is the one who really needed a therapist. This book was very good. It makes you think about things like the escape room, trying to find clues right under your nose, is it really worth it? Could you stay in a house where someone had died? Could you trust your partner that kept things from you? Could you forgive yourself to just walk away?  Great book and I love reading a lot of this author’s books.

  • The right of Love by Love Belvin

    The Series: The Low of Love, The Left of Love, The Right of Love by Love Belvin

    By: Cece Hymes

    This series of love was some great books Here is the Third one: The Right of Love

    This was the last book of the series. When I tell you, I loved this series. It was so good. Let’s talk about the third one.  So, Kennedi sees a therapist. She goes through the emotions but one thing she knows is all she wants is Isaak. She watches what he does from social media and still loves and does for his family without him knowing. She wants to prove her trust and love to him. She lost her best friend, lover and partner. She wants what her heart wants

    Isaak now is living his life but still never gave his heart to anyone else. He still follows and asks about how she is doing. He has been hurt and doesn’t want to move too fast in letting her back in.  He has his family and he been going through a lot of hurt also and pressure.

    They work it out and I love this book because no matter what was thrown at them, they made it. They worked at it and they were always friends first. I am glad in this one Kennedi stepped up to ask and to tell what she wanted.  This was definitely an emotionally addictive ride. Just two people who saw the world differently, making their own mistakes, learning life, learning love, breaking each other’s hearts not knowing that all they needed was each other. They finally came to common ground. Glad that she reconnected with the kids and they got married and became one. It wasn’t easy but what relationship is, what life is. We all learn as we go, and we just must find that right person to go through it all with. All relationships I believe your partner should be your best friend. One thing I did learn in this book and series is that communication and expressing yourself is a must in any relationship. Never think you are never good enough for someone. You never know what someone is going through and what they feel.

    This series was one of my favorites. It had me on an emotional roller coaster, but it had me wanting to know what’s next. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to read more books by this author.

  • The low of Love by Love Belvin

    The Series: The Low of Love, The Left of Love, The Right of Love by Love Belvin

    By: Cece Hymes

    This series of love was some great books Here is the Second one: The Low of Love

    This book is the second one of the series. Kennedi and Isaak haven seen each other since he left. They both were too stubborn to reach each other. Kennedi starts a bond with his family, and he doesn’t even know. She has helped his family in a way that was so much needed. She goes to visit and bring so much out of him that no other woman has ever done.

    Kennedi is so strong, smart, and amazing. She is just so naïve that everything that’s right under her nose she does not see. She is trying to protect a friendship that is so much more than that. She wants so much more but is so scared to admit it and she just keeps thinking she is not good enough when she is everything that balances him out.

    Isaak has all these emotions but doesn’t know how to express his emotions. He never was shown how to love. He has everything he needs but just doesn’t know how to put his family together. He doesn’t know all that is missing from him being gone and not being with the family he created. He is talented in so many ways. He thinks he is not good enough for this woman that really loves him unconditionally.

    They get closer and she experiences some love she never experienced before. She went to first base with the man of her dreams. She was inexperienced but willing and ready to learn. Ready to experience and take things to another level. Then she experienced a lot more. She got love and hate at the same time. The trips and the love everything was there but a commitment. A conversation for two people to take what they feel and put it together. They both go through so much and still think they are not good enough for each other.

    In this issue I had to ask is communication that hard to really tell someone how you feel? Can you accept someone’s family even when they don’t want that responsibility on you?  Can two people that think differently become one? Do things become too much that you must separate yourself? Why is love so hard?
