Hello everyone👋 My name is Chanelle, I am a first time author writing a memoir. Im a domestic violence survivor, and a single mother. My memoir dives into generational trauma cycles as my mom was also a young single mother that survived domestic violence. My book is about loving someone fighting addiction, religious trauma, DV, s*xual assault, the struggles of single motherhood, and finding yourself in the healing. Im in the process of editing my first draft at 85,000 words, and adding in final touches. I would love to find critique partners, and beta readers to give me some feedback! My goal is to start the querying process by January 2026. Im so happy I found this community and Im excited to get to know you all 🙂

Week of August 7th, 2025 Let's Make Ourselves Magnetic to Blessings Jubilant Pronoia Therapy https://freewillastrology.com/ Experiments and exercises in becoming a sublimely kind, wildly intelligent, gracefully imaginative Master of lucid affection 1. Write the following on a piece of red paper and keep it under your pillow. "I, [put your name here], do solemnly swear on this day, [put date here], that I will devote myself for a period of seven days to learning my most important desire. No other thought will be more uppermost in my mind. No other concern will divert me from tracking down every clue that might assist me in my drive to ascertain the one experience in this world that deserves my brilliant passion above all others." + 2. Would you like to make yourself more magnetic to blessings? You could experiment with good luck charms or magic amulets—objects that you imagine might attract benevolence into your life. How about a replica of Brísingamen, the magical necklace of the Norse goddess Freya? When she wore it, neither man nor god could resist her allure. Or maybe a copy of the thyrsus, a wand wielded by Dionysus, the god of ecstasy? Or the bracelet of meteorite chunks I saw advertised as a luck-bringer in the back of a tabloid? As fun as things like these might be, I believe there's a superior approach to the art of charging up your mojo. It's embodied by the metaphorical talisman that Tom Waits recommends in his song "Get Behind the Mule": Always keep a diamond in your mind. Go get one of those diamonds.

I have been practicing getting updated headshots/pics every year... I used to find it wildly uncomfortable, but I looked at it as a learning/growing exercise. You don't have to pay a lot of money... you don't have to go to a studio. Depending on your goals, you can use AI, you can ask a friend with a decent camera, you can challenge yourself and get the professional experience...
