Happy Father's Day
Enjoying a day off with hubby in our new abode off Oceanside, CA. Thinking of all you dads hanging with your kids or simply relaxing. Enjoy your day with many blessings ~Feb 21, 2013
Omg. It's been more than a year since I've posted. Can you say, depression? I am on my feet now and miss the blogging world but especially, Sandee. To you, I say thanks for being my best supporter. I received your email and wonder if you received mine months ago where I thanked you for reading my book and sharing my story with me. You are a true, caring soul. That's all for now.

Pennsylvania
Coming up, I will have a link to my contribution to Foster Focus magazine. The editor is based out of Pennsylvania, but has built national exposure. I will be the featured author in February. I do not even know what to say.
More gifts brought to me from the universe soon - with God as my upper power lighting the path that humbly lies before me.

Does it really get any better than this? Why yes. Yes, it does. I shall make it a daily point of my pen to aim higher and higher.

Dec. 21, 2011. Foster Me Up has been Published
A shocking, harrowing, and ultimately inspiring journey, Rhonda Zimmer’s life story—and that of her twin sister’s—is an extraordinary glimpse into the power of will, the strength of spirit, and the tenacity of two young women determined to turn their lives into rich, rewarding experiences. And what is possibly the most astounding thing of all is that in her recounting of the events of her life, author Rhonda Zimmer turns the other cheek with such ease and grace, her nature being one of extraordinary humility and awe-inducing peace and serenity. A must-read that teaches us all the power we hold inside, Foster Me Up: Entering the “System” Doesn’t Have to Mean the End is a reminder that only you can decide what is an ending, and what is a beginning.
Find it on Amazon.com. Kindle version coming soon.

Thirty-Two Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety-Six Words
...and 113 pages later. I look up toward the heavens and thank God for guiding the way. Color me done - manuscript is at its finality. The only words I have left are, my husband inspired me and out of nowhere the flood gates opened -- my memory returned and within eight days I finished. I might also add, I believe my little girl leaving me had something to do with it too. Who knows. Spiritual power comes from above and that's what matters. Regardless, I did it. Now I find a literary agent. Any thoughts? If not, I will have to close my eyes and point aimlessly at the Google links provided.Jul 25, 2011
My Baby Girl Is Gone
In loving memory of my best friend of five years. She was at my heals at every moment, I heard her every sound, and she heard mine. She became my habit, my love, my everything. I took her everywhere I could. I never stopped thinking of her and never stopped wondering what she needed. She became my every breath.
I took care of her as if she were my child…I clipped her toe nails, gave her baths, cleaned her ears, brushed her coat, ensured she had her anal expressions and when her kidneys seemed to be failing, I put her on a diet. I took her on walks, hikes, and runs. We traveled everywhere together. She was my all and when I got a job last year and she was out of my presence, I missed her. She was so happy to greet me when I arrived home and I her. She was playful, loving, aloof, royal, but no matter what, she was my baby. I expected 10-12 years and I got five. But I will take it, ‘cause that’s what I got. She was the best thing to ever happen to me….ever…my whole life. Baci Fiona Jana, I love you and I miss you with all my heart and soul...5 months later, I still cry almost every day.

New Beginnings
Holy long time no blog. Since I left my 8-year relationship with M&M, I moved 5 times, bought a house, been blessed with a wonderful job and got married (in our new front lawn -- see pic). Here are me and my husband, Stu. So happy...but a bit sad I have been away (guess I've been busy?)
Hope all of you are well and happy. I know I am. *smoochies*

To My Dear Friend
Always
Shattered and broken,
Tainted and bruised by loss...for a brief time.
My soul to be touched by the warmth of yours,
But no more.
The future holds a dim gleam of hope, but
The days will pass as I place one foot in front of the other,
And breathe.
Until then,
Healing is wisdom and insurmountably so.
Relief is here knowing you will find happiness,
and I continue to find peace...
Always.

Purely Inspired
Discovery
The gentleness of my hand touches your face and with a slight downward motion, I close your eyes.
I kiss you lightly and tenderly...
Then all that is heard are my footsteps exiting through the door at a quick pace not to turn back.
Closed and locked tightly,
I find myself as far away from the finality of its closure as I need to be.
Afraid, I hide; in a ball, I curl.
You open the door and saunter in…quietly and confidently.
You have found me.
Not to worry, my angel. Trust me and know all is meant to be.
Lifting my tear-stained face from the pillow, you place my concern into your heart.
I look into your blue eyes…and I know, without a doubt,
That I have finally found --
peace.
