Forever Loved


This is the cover of our second book, which will be finished soon.  We are hoping it will be published by Michael's birthday.  There have been a couple of adjustments to this picture, but this is the general idea.  Isn't it fantastic?  Of course, the title means that Michael will be forever loved, and he will forever love us and the world, so this picture says it all!!!  I wrote the story almost two years ago, and it has taken me this long to have the courage to make it into a book.  It is not as universally acceptable as Ever After.   Although Ever After is written like a story, it is actually a non-fiction book.  Forever Loved is quite a bit different, which is why I have held back on publishing it, to avoid facing my fears and possible criticism and judgement from others.  Now I am ready, and completely proud of it, and so anxious to see it in people's hands.  Mimi has made the whole thing a work of art, as is her way, and I am so excited for you all to see it.

In the meantime, Ever After will soon be on Amazon in a new printing.  It is a little bit bigger in size, soft cover, and so beautifully printed.  I am waiting to receive my second proof, with corrections that needed to be made (such as putting the pages in the right order!!!)  As soon as it is perfect, it will be available on Amazon which will make it much more accessible to everyone.  I will let you know as soon as it is up.  I am hoping for new sales of Ever After to help me pay for the publishing of Forever Loved.

I want to thank all of you for your loving support.  I can hardly believe my life!  I am so abundantly blessed to have all of you as my beautiful friends in Michael's Love.
Love is the Answer,
Brenda

In Your Love



Who Am I?
I don't recognize myself
what matters to me
the things I think about
my hopes for the future

Three years ago
the old me began to transform
becoming a brighter version of me

Every cell in my body changed
by you

Forever grateful
forever humbled by your love
I can only imagine 
how far we can go together

What a sacrifice you made
for me, for us
that we might taste
the joy you told us was there
by following you
loving you
giving all to receive all

we have come a long way
and only just begun

Every moment is bliss
in your love
