Hi! Long time no post, been a bit busy with writing and training and... the seasonal flu, of course. But I have so many wonderful news to share, and at this time it will be about the latest edition of Adventures To Go, Book 7 released by OffBeatReads publishing (Ohio, USA)! This edition features an article titled "A Look Back At Real Glamour" written by me. It offers many interesting information and a look back through the Roaring Twenties, 30s, 40s and 50s. I also compare the trends from these periods of time to today's trends. It was a blast to do the research and write the article! I did a photoshoot on the same theme, and one of the photos is featured on the cover. The photoshoot was a blast and I was hoping this shot would end up on the cover! What I'd like to talk about now is the poem featured in this edition. This particular poem was written 9 years ago and it was to commemorate a friend of mine who, unfortunately, committed suicide. He was battling with mental illnesses throughout his entire life and, ultimately, he lost the battle. The poem was a way of mine to express how I feel about it, but also to spread awareness. Mental health is important, and I believe that people often ignore some of the symptoms that might and will turn into something much worse with time. If you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders, and the burden of existence crippling you, pinning you down - making you feel like you can't get up - PLEASE seek help. There are always people who care. There are difficult things in this life and I'm not saying it can be easy - it can't and it won't. So what's the point? We don't know, do we? Only God knows. And yet here we are and we might as well find a reason to smile instead of thinking of horrors. There are so many ugly things we have to deal with - but there are also so many beautiful ones, too! Something has to be worth it, so find it. If you don't find it for yourself, no one else will. Click below for the Amazon link of this wonderful spring edition! Until next time, Elmedina
