 |  The first of a fictional western trilogy |
   *The published novel is rated "R", containing graphic violence, erotica, and so on.* "A DOORWAY TO HEARTS" begins with the encounter of young Trent Walker and Lakota child Blazing Star at the Missouri Riverbank. They form a swift bond that grows throghout the years, but is threatened to be destroyed by extreme prejudice, betrayal, the Battles of Rosebud and Bighorn, and more. Following their hearts and capturing their mutual dream of unity between their races doesn't come easily and without extravagant prices to be paid, leaving both to wonder if their bond is powerful enough to survive such hardships. An Indian! A real, honest to goodness Indian...the first thoughts young Trent Walker had when first encountering the arrogant Lakota child Blazing Star on the Missouri riverbank. After a brief exchange of words, the two rapidly discover they have much in common and become secretive friends due to the differences between their people. As they mature into adults, Trent and Blazing Star find that their dream of mutual peace is threatened by extreme prejudice, betrayal, and numerous other obstacles. Following their hearts becomes more difficult, and their dream more elusive. Can even a camaraderie as powerful as theirs survice such ordeals, or will it be severed? http://www.sherrigibson.com http://publishedauthors.net http://authorsden.com

I found out earlier this morning that my sister, only a year older than me, has terminal lung cancer.  There are also spots of cancer on her liver, and another biopsy is being ran tomorrow to determine if any more cancer is found. It seems so unreal. It breaks my heart knowing....No, I just can't say it. |
I have decided that changes must be made due to health and personal issues very soon. I'm weary of hearing "he said, she said" things, not getting more rest like the doctors have asked, wondering what is and is not true, and not getting more rest like the doctors have asked due to being hurt and/or upset. These things are malignant and childish. Many friends have been hurt by these things as well, and it breaks my heart. Real friendship is based on honesty and integrity, not deceit or pretense. I will ALWAYS be me. I refuse to play the game/s. As stated before, I am not a loyal blogger, and never will be.  That is the one thing that won't change. I've finally bounced back and can say that life goes on with a brighter outlook. WRITE ON, my friends!

As I contemplate decisions on what changes I will be making soon, I must admit I am feeling somewhat better. Good and true WDC friends and family have helped revive my sinking spirits a little.  I am pleased to say that I will not act impulsively, but changes will be made.

The past several days have been tough. I've been trying to find realism, yet it seems elusive. Just when I think things are looking brighter, something comes along and shakes my faith. I'm aware that everyone has times like this, but why do some try destroying what you believed real? I'm sorting things out, and know I must do what I have to in order to find peace of heart and mind again. What happened to loyalty and amiability?....genuine emotions??? Why try hurting others by letting them know you aren't appreciated by ones you believed in? It is genuine love and respect I want, and in return give. I WILL NOT accept less, for when I give others a place in my heart, it's real and they remain there forever. Those who know me are aware that I am not one who cries in her beer, so to speak, but resilient and faithful to my friends. I'll bounce back. However, I will not be played a fool. I'm wise enough to know that lines must be drawn sometimes, and will draw mine if I have to. For those who have had similar feelings, my heart goes out to you. No one should be made to feel this way. Hurt? You're damned right I am!

| Another day of battling mixed feelings and depression, but hanging in there nonetheless. Let me begin by thanking those of my true WDC family and friends for helping me through these days of turmoil. Have you ever wondered what's real, or who for that matter? I'm there these days. If it wasn't because reality set in and I know almost everyone has felt the same and God is always here for me and others with similar feelings, I'd simply surrender. However, I'm trying my best to keep a fighting spirit and shake the depression. Never let anyone think your feelings are unimportant, because those who may do so never gave a damn anyway, That's reality. It may be disappointing or hurtful, but reality nonetheless. Whether by observation or hearing it through the grapevine, what is real eventually comes out in the open. God bless those of you who have offered and/or helped me from giving up. I love you....all of you!

| As you can tell, I am not a faithful blogger, and never will be. There are too many other things I find important, such as family and friends, writing, and my health. I have had many health issues over the past several years. Several faithful WDC friends have been kind enough to give me extra love and support during the bad times, and I cherish them for that. On another note, there are times when depression sets in. Those times weaken me in heart, mind, and spirit. I will not mention the reasons for why I feel this way, only that I do, and it's getting the best of me lately. To my genuine WDC family and friends, I send you my love. You will always hold special places in my heart.

This has been a horrible week. First, my dear WDC sister and friend Jaye P. Marshall   passed away, and this morning my son-in-law's oldest brother, who was only 45, joined God too. My heart aches for them and their loved ones. |
This evening I was honored by two of my WDC sisters stacylynn71 and Kristi  with this gift. I love it, and I love them! Thank you so much, my darling sisters and friends!!!

| I'm sick again! Scared! Waiting to hear from doctor. |
 This is the cover for my new book, which will soon be released. Two others are due to be released within the year.  This one is a mystery/erotica story. I keep busy with my writing, but it's sooooooooo enjoyable!!! |
I had a busy, but fulfilling day. I worked with my editor on my next novel, and then spent most of the day with my family and on WDC.  A friend of mine is having some problems here, and is worried. I've been trying to help her out, but it's a BIG situation.  Time flies, and today is proof of that.  I'm tired, but it's a good kind of tired. |
| Thank God for genuine friends who have better things to do than make shitty remarks and trouble. I confess that I don't read blogs unless something is pointed out to me by my WDC family, nor do I make entries as often as I should. The person mentioned above is a constant shit stirrer and an individual of many faces. This person uses others for upgrades and anything else. Talk about a user and a bitch! It's no wonder this person doesn't keep friends. This is a WRITING community, not one for troublemakers. The question is, why does this individual stay here if there's nothing she likes about the site? She needs to concentrate on getting a life and staying the hell out of others' business. Her jealousy shines brighter than anyone I know. She dogs others when she should take a good look at her own fucked up life. So a word to the shit stirrer....GET A FUCKING LIFE and leave those of us who truly love it here alone!!! On a brighter note, yesterday was my oldest grandson's second birthday.     He's my pride and joy. We gave him a big birthday party with all of the trimmings. |
 I think this signature made by my beautiful sister, kelly1202, says all that needs to be said about what real love and friendship is all about. I'll cherish it forever, just as I do Kel. |
Today was one of the best days of my life thanks to katherine76 and my other precious sisters and wonderful friends. Kathy surprised me with
I've never shed so many tears of happiness in my life, and I owe it all to my darling sister Kathy and those of you who reminded me what genuine friendship and sisterhood is all about. As redundant as it may sound, I thank every one of you from the bottom of my heart. |
| Some things just don't lessen with time. I feel that way tonight. I miss my mother so badly I ache. I know she's in better hands and free from pain, yet selfishly wish she was still here to wrap her arms around me. We shared everything. Only those beautiful memories keep me from falling apart. My beloved mother will always live on, for I'll be the light that carries on for her until it's my time to sit with her on that cloud in Heaven. I miss you, Mom!!! With all of my heart, body, and soul, I miss you so damned much!!!!!!!!! You were my strength, and the essence of all that I am and ever will be, and still are. ......ALWAYS! |
| I spent the entire day with my daughter and grandchildren. They're my entire world. My oldest grandson won't let me out of sight, and I love it. My youngest grandson is ill. He has a very deep cough, which worries me being as terrible viruses and pneumonia are spreading like wildfire here. My heart just aches for my dear friend monty31802, who lost his beloved wife Kitty on February 3rd. To know Monty is to love him. Please keep him in your prayers as my sister kelly1202 and I do.Then there are the others who are so very near and dear to my heart here at WDC. I wish I had enough space to list them all, but unfortunately, I don't. But they know who they are, so if they aren't mentioned here, know they are still cherished. Among the closest are kelly1202, simply_complex, katherine76, COUNTRYMOM-JUST REMEMBER ME , reikidreamer; ♥~HermyKitteh~♥ , ⭐Princette♥PengthuluWrites  , monty31802, Acme , Princess Megan Rose  , MDuci , GabriellaR45 , Joy  ; and Kathleen  . I love you all. My wish list? Only that every day a new friend is made. What would the world be without an abundance of friends? |
| I've never liked playing childish games, and find it less than amusing when others do. Life is far too short to forget the important things like family and enjoying time doing what we like the most. Enough said. |
There has been so much going on in my life this year. Hospitalized for pneumonia, and then released on home and portable oxygen, too many meds to count, and now even more tests to worry about, it's been like a nightmare. My lovely sister and best friend in the entire world has helped light up the dark days. kelly1202 has walked with me through it all with undying love and support. Kel made me this priceless sig that says it all, and yet can never express all I feel for her. I cherish you ((((((Kel)))))))...always and forever!!!  |
This gift was made and gifted to me by my precious sister and my best friend, kelly1202 Kel is one of a kind. We're alike in so many ways that it's hard to believe that we're not actually blood related. She means so much to me, and is always so supportive and loving. I thank God for her every day. |
| I admit to not being a faithful blog writer, but my precious sister kelly1202 will keep those who might wonder where I'm at this time posted. Kel, should I discover the worst, know that the love I have for you will be carried in my heart forever. I love you, my darling sister!!! I ask my precious sister to keep the faith. Your fighting sister, Sherri |
