Let's Talk: Awareness (Day 2 of Concordant Vibrancy book tour)

-

Hello Awesome Visitors! Welcome to Day 2 of the Concordant Vibrancy book tour. Today the 1st of the participants, C. Desert Rose, stops by to discuss how awareness plays a role in one's survival.

C. Desert Rose, take it away!



I know you're there!

😁

I’m just kidding! Hello, everyone. C. Desert Rose here; just stopping by to say hello and share the 411 on my “Concordant Vibrancy” adventure throughout the year.


Going into this blog tour I was asked these questions.

What prompted you to be a part of the Concordant Vibrancy concept?

Which Concordant Vibrancy books are you featured in?

Why did you choose a certain attribute as your answer to CV5's theme question?


Honestly, where do I begin?
How can one fully encompass and quantify the value of the above questions without potentially leaving something out? It seems difficult but I will do my best.

I’m going to try to answer all of these questions at once, albeit, potentially not in order.

I, gratefully, have been in all of the Concordant Vibrancy books. In Unity, I wrote a story called “Her A to Z”. In Vitality, I wrote an essay called “An Ocean of  Questions”. For Lustrate I wrote a comedy called “The Boo Thang Convention” and in Inferno, I pitched in with “Calliope's Inferno”.

Now, for Extancy, I’ve brought another essay. This one is called “Frequencies Towards Illumination”.
Each one of these stories means a great deal to me in their independent ways.

I came to join the Concordant Vibrancy project when my publisher, All Authors Publishing House, asked if I would like to be a part of it. We were being offered a compensation of sorts for being a House author. I was thrilled when I was first invited, but also rather nervous. Mostly because I knew that I would be joining a collection of phenomenal writers and I wasn’t sure that I could compare to their talent.

My very first entry, “Her A to Z” was written with great trepidation as I fully expected it to be rejected. But, to my great surprise,  it wasn’t. All these years later, here I am, having participated in the entire collection.

Solely speaking on “Extancy”, at first I chose “Self-Love” as my theme question word. But upon further scrutiny and feedback from the publishers, we settled upon “Awareness” which seemed to be a better-suited interpretation.

Why “Awareness”? Well, in the simplest of terms, because awareness is true life … but I won’t get too much into that because then you won’t read my essay. LOL

Thanks for having me!

Following is an excerpt poster. Enjoy!




Thanks C. Desert Rose for spilling the tea on your contribution. Stay tuned to see insight from the remaining participants of the collection.

Until next time,

Show Me (Behind the Stuntin')

Show me the man behind the stuntin I keep getting this feelin’ that you straight frontin’ Your profile seems too squeaky clean from E-harmony; Your looks getting females shook and all over your Facebook, But it just seems something’s not quite right; I picked up on it from just the first night. No, you didn’t show me any disrespect, But you’ve given me so much stuff to reflect. You spit so much about the things you have, Like the new paint job you just got on your Jag, And the money you dropped on your fancy condo- Floor so clean you can eat off the floor! And I know for many women, you’re totally awesome! But I’m not like most; I proceed with caution. Yes, I’m pleased you finished at the top of your class And there’s no criminal record on your ass And that you’re dressed like a man from GQ- No, I’m not trying to knock what you do! But with all that being said, Tell me what’s going through your head. Without starting the statement wit

Let's Talk Thursday: Episode 7

Hello Awesome Visitors! Let's talk for a minute. Disclaimer:  Before we go on, I want to let you know on these topics, I'm no expert. I am just speaking on my own experiences or those by others. Let's get to it. Confession:  I absolutely hate Marketing.  I'm not saying that I don't like to meet new people and interact with them.   I'm becoming a wee bit frustrated because what I put out isn't being returned to me. I currently have my regular Facebook page completely public.  As long as someone doesn't cause a ruckus, I have no problem accepting anyone's friend request. When people send me requests to like their pages, I stop by and give it a like.  I have not discriminated on my liking practices either. I figure it in this way:  I'll have it set up this way until I'm given a reason not to. I stop by people's spots and say hi, and even want to get involved in dialogue.  It's a social network, yet no one seems like t

Sweet Dream

The rays of the sun poke against my eyelids… Leave me be; I’m not ready to awaken! You see, I am having this most incredible dream! I encountered approximately 6’5” of butter pecan: Eyes, chestnut dark, yet gentle. Lips, full to the brim but soft, Promising himself to me: For us to be Together Forever. Isn’t that the name of a song Or in some song lyric? Saying he’d be bound to me, Not just when things are right, But whenever there are plights. Have I heard it all before? Holding my breath, wondering when he will go out that door Him saying, I won’t leave unless you tell me… Voice turning my iron clad resolve Into a bowl of grape jelly; Lips running a train all over my skin, Generating slow heat beneath my skin, Crooning is this good to you baby Do you like this Or how about this? Thrilled yet pissed That my body’s sensual combination lock Got Hacked by this brand new virus And my senses are spinning And I do
