With Friends Like These....

I have been through a great deal of Trials in order to get my manuscript " Love TORN Asunder" edited and published. The list is a long one. Some of those very trials have been documented on this Blog. However this entry is about the LOVE that I have received and from some of the most unlikely people.

I have been FaceBooking for quite some time... Some Friends are fare weather but, that happens in life also.

And some have been a true BLESSING. The list is indeed long but I would like to high light some of my Sister on FaceBook and let them know exactly how much their support of my dreams have touched and fuel me to do better and to keep striving for success...

Rhea Alexis M. Banks- The Blessing that this woman has bestowed upon me are immeasurable. Because of her support and friendship I have found an editor that is willing to work with New talent. Someone that is taking her time to understand exactly what I need and patient enough to provide it. (( I will reveal her name in another entry)) She deserves an entry dedicated to her alone)). Rhea has kept me on my toes by ensuring that I continue to study my craft. I THANK YOU!

Authoress-Editor Kimani Nelson- Kimani- Is the True definition of lady and I am so thankful that I get to call her friend. Even if just on FB. On this site built to network... this woman who is an author and editor herself. Finds the time to give words of wisdom and helpful advice. All while climbing the ladder to fulfilling her own dreams. Who can't love someone that takes the time to look back and lend a hand?
I pray that her star continues to shine... Please support her as she does so many others by checking her Facebook page ((Perfectly Polished Words Editing)) You can also send any serious inquiries for her supreme services to ((http://Kimani.Perfectlypolishedwords@gmail.com)) I THANK YOU!

Astarte BellaOh Luccianno- aka(( Venus~ The Goddess))- This is ONE of the realest straight to the point woman that I have had the honor of making her acquaintance. Since she has NO tolerance for BS and she is a strict business woman, not many make it into her fold. Only the strong survive. I have learned from her as I have all the women on this list. That there is a line that you must draw when it comes to Friendship. When that line has been crossed.. the end result can be dangerous. Because of this lesson... I have made it a point to tighten up my ship. There are still a few stragglers but that is another story for another time... lol
Bella, is on her grind in the Music Business and Repping the West Coast. She is a force to be reckoned with and a face that you should look out for. To find her please type her name in the FaceBook search... then just sit back and take in some of the Cali wisdom. I THANK YOU!

Shaunita Toknowmeistoloveme Selby- :-) Her name alone brings a smile to my face. This woman is my SISTER for real. She is sunshine. I am so lucky that we met. I think that I identify with her the most. No matter what my issue she can give me real advice.That is a quality that is hard to find.. sad to say buy true. She also holds nothing back but she can say it in a way where you can receive it and process it well. I need friends like that in my life. Friends that mirror who I am in nature and have the same drive to succeed. Without allowing the past to hinder them. This is who I am and Miss Shaunita. We ALL have our personal battles but, we CAN NOT allow them to make you stagnant. I need people in my life who WANT more and are taking the steps to get it... in that aspect I need Shaunita. Because she reminds me to keep it moving and "Try New Things" lol. I THANK YOU!

Adiamond Isforever- She is sooo much more to me then just a FaceBook friend or Sister. I Believe that she and I have a connection that doesn't even have a word to describe it. I love her. When I need to talk things through she is on my short list of people who will listen and understand. WITHOUT judgment. Her name says it all a REAL DIAMOND. She has a spirit the will wrap you up and make you feel safe. When things are hectic she will offer solutions and talk you off the ledge. Her support of me and my dreams are abundant. I feel overjoyed knowing she is in my corner. I THANK YOU!

It amazes me how these women have made such an impact on my life and I have only met one face to face... I shouldn't be shocked though. Because GOD will place the tools, knowledge and people in your life that you need to receive your BLESSINGS and that is exactly what all of them have been to me... A Blessing:-)

Thanks... Lots of Love Liz.

Desperately Seeking....

Desperately Seeking.... A publisher!

I am in the phase in my Book where I need to find publishing. My book is finally with an editor and I couldn't be happier about how all the pieces fell into place. However, the hard work is still NOT over. I now have to find a Publishing company. The problem is I really don't know where to begin. I am doing my research and looking into options. All I can really do is pray that I am lead in the right direction. I feel like I have been fighting an up hill battle to have what I've worked so hard for and on to be recognized.

My dream is to walk into a book store and MY work be on one of the many selves. In the midst of Brilliant talent, critical thinkers, and wild imaginations. To be amongst the authors that have inspired me... and the ones that I have yet to discover.

I am asking for all my friends, followers, and family to help me in seeking a Publisher. I want to use all of my networking capabilities in order to move forward... I mean that is the point of networking. Right? :-) Please either post a comment on suggestions in my seeking or email me at lizfunrowe@gmail.com.

I Love and Appreciate you all...

Lots of Love Liz... :-)

Begin again ...

" Begin again as often as you need to in order to stay on track spiritually..."

I have to say this to myself when it seems I have tried EVERYTHING and NOTHING works out just the way I planned!
I have been off my game because I hit a massive wall in taking the next step with my Manuscript " Love TORN Asunder". I thought I was on the fast track to getting my book edited and then the Finale... having it published. However, the reality is I am NOT in a great financial situation to be able to afford such services. I was blown away by the fee that it would cost to take on such a project. Thinking about it... I understand that it does take time and scheduling has to be done. I was not prepared even still.... and after a long time away, I have decided that I can NOT allow this to be the end. I have worked this HARD for so LONG I will NOT allow this to defeat me. I just have to look into other outlets and get my network on to get my voice heard.
I have already began taking notes for my 2nd Manuscript... I am already anticipating my future as a successful author. You must believe in yourself first. Right??? That was part of my issue. Why I fell off. NOT that I didn't believe in what I was doing and what I wanted to accomplish. I STOP believing that it was possible. I thought that all my efforts was just for me and me alone. That I was not going to be given the chance to make it a reality. I mean how many people share this dream? Why would I think that MY dreams would come to fruition? The difference NOW is I NO longer believe that. I wont stop until I MAKE it a REALITY. I owe it to myself and ALL the people that believe in me and have supported me through this. I owe it to those that don't support me. Because if I accept failure I have proved them right. Most importantly I owe it to my Family. My children and the Man that has ALWAYS stood by my side. For them... ALL of these people. I will keep moving forward.
With ALL of their help and Yours I will be able to reach my Dream.

Thanks for hanging in there...

Lots of Love Liz....

This Man Makes Me Feel High....

This Man makes me Feel...

Sexy

Smart

Confident

Loved

Wanted

Needed

This Man makes me Feel....

High

High like The rarest of eagles souring through the snow covered mountain peeks

This Man gives me...

Chills

Chills... running down...down...down my spine

Until it explodes inside my belly

Giving me Butterflies

This Man makes my heart flutter

Skips a beat or Two whenever he speaks

The lyrical Bass in his voice

The fullness of his lips... Has me focused... In a zone

There is no coming back this Man has me so gone

His words so melodic like the sweetest song ever told

I listen to whispered words of forever

Close my eyes and behind the lids I watch my future unfold

This man has a way...

A way like no other man that I have ever known

He makes me feel...

Needed

Wanted

Loved

Confident

Smart

Sexy

This Man makes me high.....
