I myself am getting ready for the summer and not looking forward to working the World Cup. 7 matches likely in the scorching heat for 8 hours a day, ugh. Not looking forward to it but I am looking forward to doing things this summer like going places and enjoying the reasonable weather.
I recently read The Picture of Dorian Gray and yeah...it's an interesting read. At least I can say I read it. Finally, I just published my 14th novel which I am now going to spend my times into the summer promoting.

During college one of my friends was sleepy all the time. She ate well, exercised, classes were not overloaded. At first doctors could find nothing wrong eith her... they finally determined it was the 4 liters of diet coke she was drinking. Apparently excess caffeine can make you so chill you feel exhausted! She cut down caffeine and got her energy back. I still don't get drinking a coke product when you can get great coffee, but to each their own.
I drink as much coffee as I can but stop by noon. I usually don't have more than 4 big cups. Stress on the BIG. But I will be telling my doctor about this study!

First congratulations on book 14! I have The Portrait of Dorian Gray on my reading list for this month. It's a group read with another group and I figured why not I can finally say I read the book.
As for the World Cup, where are you working at? Logistically I think there will be problems. I feel bad for people coming to the US and having to use such poor transportation infrastructure and unfriendly pedestrian cities in terms of getting to venues. I just hope it's a great experience because I know people who have been waiting since the announcements to go this year and like me they live in Delaware so it's not far but even knowing the region it will be crazy travel wise.

Hi Beth, thank you kindly! I've been slowly promoting it but hoping to build up more focus on it. Yeah, so its a good book but it's brutal in terms of the old English language they use. Some descriptions run on for over a page and a half and at several points I forgot what was being talked about! lol. But at least after you read it you can say to people that you did.
I assume you went to my profile because I didn't post about the World Cup in this group but I did in the other group I'm a mod for. I'm working at Gillette Stadium or as FIFA has it for the time being, Foxboro Stadium(dumb licensing thing). Yeah, the exhibition game back in April was a mess so I can only imagine how much of a disaster this was. There were people using people's backyards to go to the bathroom! Crazy. I guess we'll see.
Thank you for commenting. I'm really hoping to get this group and the other one I just become mod for back to decent activity.

Look above at post #2 I'm getting myself ready....... World Cup.... but now I will stalk your profile!
I used to live in New Orleans and between Mardi Gras and the Jazz Festival alone I have horror stories and that's just two annual events in a city designed for visitors. I think were you are will turn out much better than NYC/NJ and Philly.
What other group are you a mod for? I have a few of my groups that have shut down over the last year and a few that have lost mods.

I just became the new mod for Books, Blogs, Authors and More.
After more than 20 years in banking, debt collections, and financial services, I’ve learned something that no textbook could ever fully teach me:Financial struggles don’t discriminate, and sometimes the people who need the most help are the ones afraid to ask for it.
Throughout my career, I’ve seen people face overwhelming debt, financial hardship, and the devastating effects of fraud. I’ve witnessed the fear, frustration, embarrassment, and uncertainty that can follow.
And I’ve always wondered: What if I could help someone avoid that pain before it happens?
My professional journey has given me a unique perspective:
Master of Business Administration (MBA)
20+ years of banking and financial services experience
Experience in first- and third-party debt collections, seeing firsthand how financial decisions can impact people’s lives.
QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor and small-business owner, helping people better understand and manage their finances.
CCBRS credential, further supporting my financial services background.
But here’s what matters most to me.
Knowledge means very little if we don’t use it to help others.
That’s why I wrote Fraud Hit. Now What? The 9 Things You Need to Do to Protect Your Money, Identity, and Future.
I didn’t want to write another book filled with complicated financial terminology or lectures about what people should have done differently.
I wanted to create something practical. Something that could sit beside someone during one of the most stressful financial moments of their life and say:
“You’re not alone. You don’t have to figure everything out today. Here’s your next step.”
My goal is simple: Make a positive difference in the world, one person, one family, and one financial decision at a time.
And now, I’m asking for YOUR help.
I’m looking for readers who would be willing to read my book and share their genuine feedback!
Whether you’re experienced with personal finance or just beginning to learn, I’d love to know:
⭐ Was the information easy to understand?
⭐ Did you learn something that could help protect your family?
⭐ Did the book give you practical steps you could actually use?
⭐ What could I improve to make it even more helpful?
I’m not looking for compliments. I’m looking for honest feedback that will help me become a better author and help more people.
If you’ve already read the book, I’d be grateful for your thoughts or an honest Amazon review. If you haven’t, I’d love for you to give it a chance!
Available on Amazon in paperback, Kindle, and through Kindle Unlimited.

Success isn’t always measured by how much money we make. Sometimes, it’s measured by how many lives we positively impact along the way. ❤️
Thank you for helping me turn a lifetime of experience into something that can make a difference.
Chat away, my friends!
