So Far, So Good...

peace everyone...

i know i haven't blogged in a while, i am going back and forth with blogging on my website, www.soufulbooks.com (which is in the process of being transferred to another domain host), and here, so to avoid repeating everything i have been blogging on my website's blog. i will have to update that once the transfer is completed...

in other GREAT news... i have finally completed my book, "the other"...finally. i am ecstatic about it... so effing excited!!! right now, i am working on editing the book and it's going to the publisher in two weeks... i have decided to publish with a local publisher and i think that's going to be beneficial to me on this road to getting a permanent publishing contract. all good things are still in the works for me, i know this...

i am also having surgery... it is scheduled for April 29th at 10am... i am glad that this step in my life is approaching completion... i have so many wonderful and supportive people in my life so i know that my recovery is going to be smooth and almost painless...lol. my surgeon and her staff are wonderful. nice, kind, and i trust them 100% and know that they are going to take good care of me... i've been working out, so my pecs look pretty good, and i have about 7 weeks so i'm going to continue to work out to get the best results possible... i'm excited like shit!!!!!!!!!!!

oh yeah, i quit smoking... had a relapse (i know...bad.) but i'm back at it and i'm going to stick to it so that i can have the best opportunity for a great healing process after surgery... it's also for health reasons... i have started taking better care of myself so this is just another stepping stone... i'm doing it cold turkey, no patches or gum needed...

this year started off kind of rocky, but it's working itself out... because i have taken the time to think everything through, learn the lessons, and move on... everything happens for a reason...

i am truly blessed.

peace.
