Do You Sometimes Feel Lost? #Advicebench




Hot & Sexy Romance for #99c Each 

  

So you feel lost sometimes? It is okay. You are not alone.

I watched a movie last night with my husband, titled The Catholic Priest. I was gladly surprised to learn that even Priests sometimes feel lost.

As long as we are human beings, we do not know the future. And uncertainty brings fear. Consequently, sometimes we feel lost about many things.

What You Can Do

A) About You

1. Look at yourself in the mirror, smile and give yourself a thumb up. sign 
2. Say to yourself every now and again "Well done!"
3. For example, it is your birthday and no one remembers, not even your boyfriend or husband. It is not the end of the world. Go out, buy yourself the gift you want and sing, 'happy birthday' to yourself.


4. You envy your friends, colleagues or others because they wear designer clothes or carry a designer bag. If you can't afford a Gucci Bag, buy a replica or a Zucci bag (unknown label)!!! The men can't tell the difference!
5. If you can't afford Brazilian hair extensions, (I don't see why anyone in their right minds would buy a wig or hair extension for £1000 anyway), buy a beautiful cheaper option. Your husband or boyfriend would not know one from the other.


6. Look good and feel good and you will be validated. Stop waiting for other people to make you feel good. You will WAIT forever. They have their insecurities as well.
7. Looking good does not mean buying the most expensive clothes or shoes on the planet! It means putting it all together nicely, wearing a smile and walking like you are wearing designers! Get it? I do it and no one is the wiser. Go shopping or order from online sites that offer sales or sell at rock bottom prices.
8. Smile: Take good care of yourself at all times, love yourself and SMILE.


9. Celebrate yourself: Open a bottle of wine, hold a  large piece of chicken in
one hand, whistle to yourself and sing in your heart. When your husband asks you what's happening, tell him you are excited about who you are and about how awesome God is in your life.

10. Be Thankful: Are you too big to praise the God who gave you life and sustains you? Then go to the mortuary, put an alarm clock there, go back in the morning and see how many dead bodies wake up to the sound of the alarm clock.

"Only great fools are ungrateful".
Be thankful for who you are, what you are and where you are. You are not a mistake!!!

Ques: How many people go to bed thanking God because of you?

11. Help Others: Stop throwing yourself a pity party and start helping those around you.
12.Be Humble and throw away pride. Proud people do not know God.

13. Be Content: If you do not have what you need today, you will have  it tomorrow. Do not get high blood pressure just to keep up with the joneses.
 B) About Your Marriage

1. Worry Less: If you kill yourself because your husband committed adultery, he will marry the other woman. Prove to the other woman you can keep your home.

2. Stay Committed: Once you make up your mind to get married, make up your mind to stand by your husband or wife no matter what you go through. 

3. Know this truth, no one will hurt you more than your husband or wife. Make up your mind to forgive him or her in advance.

4. Marry your friend because he or she will invade your privacy. Marry someone who knows your weaknesses and decides to cope.

5. Pray for your husband or wife and help him or her to succeed.

6. Wives, submit to your husbands and respect them. Note: Submission means strength put under control, not wife slavery.


7. Husbands, love and cherish your wives.

8. If a husband or any man lays his hands on his wife or girlfriend, he needs psychiatric attention urgently.


C) About Your Children

1. Give your children spiritual values, societal and cultural values. Teach your children your language. Love your child. Pray for your children.


2. Do not kill yourself because of any rebellious child. Go on your knees, pray and never give up.


3. For example, if your daughter gets pregnant or your son impregnates a girl, you should rebuke her, (or him) cry if you must, but do not abandon her or throw her out.

Stolen Valentine Kiss - A #NewRelease is on #BookTour & #Giveaway

Flirty & Feisty Romance Novels is doubly delighted to announce the release of their Valentine Romance Novella, STOLEN VALENTINE KISS.

To celebrate this season of love, I am very pleased to welcome you to STOLEN VALENTINE KISS book tour and giveaway.

How to enter to win

To win $15 Amazon Gift Card and eBooks of my New Release, simply complete the rafflecopter below and leave your comments on your ideal Valentine Gift(s).

First, I want to share my Valentine's Day Plans with you and tell you a bit about my New Release.

My Valentine Day Plans

My Husband and I plan to go to the movies, eat popcorn and ice cream, have a romantic dinner, talk about our fourteen Valentine seasons together, hold hands, cuddle up and do the many things lovers do, *wink*. I already have my brand new provocative lingerie on hand!!!

Of course, I'm going to get him a gift and I hope he gets me a pair of great shoes.

My Writing Journey

Writing this Valentine Novella Romance was an exciting experience. Lorna and Logan kept me wide awake as they wrestled with their bottled up fears and grief.

They sometimes veered of course and did what was on their minds. As a writer, I tried to steer them towards the end, but it didn't quite work out. You've got to read the story to find out what happened.

Enjoy the book spotlight





Stolen Valentine Kiss by Stella Eromonsere-Ajanaku

Publication Date: Feb 1st 2014

ISBN/EAN 13: 1495237931/9781495237935 (Paperback)

Genre / Categories: Fiction/Romance/Contemporary/Interracial/Multicultural













One broken heart. Two grieving minds.

To Lorna Ibe, Departmental Manager with one of London's multi-channel retailers, Valentine's Day lost its romantic flavour years ago. An unplanned holiday to New Jersey is her perfect getaway from the stress and emotional turmoil locked in her heart, just what she needs to take her mind off her troubles. That's until she runs into Logan.

Magazine publisher, Logan Blake has had his fair share of stress in the past few years. When his sister asks him to drop off old clothes to charity, he has a minor accident in front of the charity shop where Lorna volunteers. When he sets eyes on her bare midriff as she wipes the display window, he clears his busy schedule to volunteer his time. Two burdened hearts afraid to get entwined.

One Stolen Valentine Kiss. Will Valentine season bring them romance or will their fears keep them apart?




Logan's left arm draped round her waistline as if he couldn't bear to be away from her. ''Are you trying to make a few women jealous?'' Lorna breathed in his ear, nearly tempted to nibble his fair earlobe.
''Why do you say that?'' he whispered back, his gaze darting towards the couple standing a few yards from them.

''Too many women have given me knife edge glances already. I feel the sharp end of their stinging glare. As I don't know them...I can only conclude they want you...and they think am standing in their way.'' A cool smile passed her lips. She shivered when his breath caressed her eyelids. His fingers, cleverly hidden from view stroked beneath her ribs absently, giving her undeniable pleasure.

''Are you bothered, Lorna?''
She tried to stand upright, but her knees still buckled. One hand reached for his abdomen. Oh, it was as taut as she expected with ridges but she didn't bargain for the piping hot desire shooting through her arm.

Snatching her seared hand away, she sucked in air. ''Should I be? Is there any one of these glamorous women you fancy? I can arrange for her to come over?'' Arabella approached with a pretty blonde woman in tow.

''Logan, meet Isabella. She's a doctor in Christ Hospital. I've told her a lot about you. Isabella, keep Logan happy for awhile," she instructed. Logan's face showed no expression.

With a nod at her brother, she tapped Lorna's hand reassuringly. 'I'll borrow Lorna for a few minutes." Before Logan could respond, she hurried off, introducing her to her circle of friends. ''What do you do?'' Arabella asked after almost ten minutes of circulating among her guests. Lorna’s cheeks hurt from constantly smiling at people who didn’t give a wink about her presence at the party. She hasn't been in such a large gathering since...

Arabella nudged her. ''Are you dreaming about my brother?'' her eyes flashed angrily as they entered what must be a guest bedroom. Lorna's eyes darted round, her brain suddenly registering the other woman's intention.
''Do I look dreamy?'' she replied equally sarcastically.
''What do you do, Lorna?'' the room decorated in neutral colours of magnolia and beige soothed her wary nerves.

''Are you asking out of interest or spite?'' she retorted.
Arabella’s deep blue eyes narrowed with simmering hostility, but she quickly averted her gaze, shielding her expression. ''You're a guest in my home. I want to get to know you.'' She nodded. ''I volunteer at the cancer charity store but I...''
''Is that where you met my brother?'' the other woman cut in sharply.
''Yes, if you must know. Is our pep-talk going to be about Logan? You plan on warning me to stay off him, right?'' her gaze raked Arabella's flesh.

Logan's elder sister sat down on the bed, her chest heaving. ''Look here, Lorna. I know Logan may have shown a little interest in you for the moment, but trust me, you're not his type. He needs a woman with...wealth, a true professional.''
''Does he know you're bent on securing him a wife?'' she countered tartly. Arabella's gaze mirrored barely disguised anger for a split second.
''What do you expect me to do? Watch him marry just any woman? Oh no! Logan deserves a woman who can fit into his world.''






I am Stella Eromonsere-Ajanaku, a fun loving mother of two, married to my very own gorgeous alpha male. I recently 'retired' from an eighteen stint working as a Quality Assurance Manager. Writing romance novels is an exciting adventure.



In 2010, I created Flirty & Feisty Romance Novels. There are six contemporary romance novels in the kitty, varying from sweet & sensual to spicy hot & steamy - LOITERING SHADOWS, STORMY DEFENSE, BEYOND the LADY, THE GARDNER'S ICE MAIDEN, SPARKLING DAWN and HUSBAND to RENT. STOLEN VALENTINE KISS is my first series and my first Novella.

On my writing desk at the moment, my first historical romance, a trilogy is taking shape. A daunting challenge I must confess, but I love the characters and their journey so far. In my leisure time, I go swimming, read romance novels, go to Cinema, and watch TV.
