Fear Is The Biggest Bully
Fear is a road block, so just go around it. ~Tammy Campbell Brooks
My husband was awake all night because he has a major interview this morning. I asked him what was wrong and he said that he has anxiety, motivated, and nervous about the interview. I advised him to try to get some sleep. I was too sleepy to talk to him about fear. Therefore, I want to do so in my blog and hopefully he sees it before his interview.
The best way to overcome our fears are to face them head on. The more we run away, the greater that fear and anxiety takes control over our mind and body. It’s easier said than done but it is something that must be practiced. Yes, I said it, practiced.
We all have fear, every person on this earth. Many will not admit it, but it’s true. The first step to overcoming fear is acknowledge its presence, but let it know that you are ready to put up a fight. A fight for your sanity. A fight for progress. A fight to win!
We must let the biggest bully in this world know that it will no longer control who we are or want to become. ~Tammy Campbell Brooks
I want everyone to practice overcoming fear, and to send positive vibes my husband way and for others that need it.

Monday Blues
Always remember that hard times are temporary milestones. ~Tammy Campbell Brooks
Each week, we ask the rhetorical question of, where did the weekend go? We know exactly where it went. It went and goes where you go. Only you can logically answer this age old question.
We feel as though, the weekend went too fast and now we have to wake-up early and get ready to start another week of “Monday Blues.”
I’m here to help you get through the day. Whatever you are going through, stay positive and do the best YOU can to get through it.
One of the things that gets me through tough days and it never fails is music. I LOVE music, and like the O’Jays say, “Any kind of music, just as long as it’s groovin.”
On this Monday, I’m challenging whoever is following me to the “I’m in my feelings” Shiggy dance Challenge, by Drake.
Next Monday, I will post a video of me doing the challenge. If you want to participate, please send me an email and a video so that I could feature you, too! Each Monday, I will post a Shiggy dance challenge video.
Let’s turn our Monday Blues into Monday’s Rhythm & Blues.

A Dream Come True
Through my words, I will aspire to live forever. ~Tammy Campbell Brooks
Writing is a hobby, but not in my wildest dreams would I ever think that I could make a difference.
A dream just became a reality overnight. I don’t know what my purpose is in this world, but my dream is to inspire. ~Tammy Campbell Brooks
Last night, I received good news that my debut autobiography, “The Ghetto Blues” is available at Walmart stores. Prior to being available at Walmart, “The Ghetto Blues” is available at Barnes and Nobles, The Book People bookstore, The Dead Tree bookstore, The Bookwoman bookstore, and also at local libraries.
I don’t know who’s looking down on me, but I humbly appreciate it. I want to celebrate my good news with all indie authors, self-published authors, hybrids, to let them know that your book could do the same.
Keep marketing and don’t let anyone say what you can or can’t do.
Believe in you and your hard work. Let’s break the glass ceiling of traditional publishing.
Happy 18th Anniversary
He saw the interior of my soul and that’s how I knew he was the one.~Tammy Campbell Brooks.
July 14, 2000- I chatted on the AOL social media website when my “future” husband instant messaged me. We met in person the next day at my job and the rest is history.
This post is dedicated to the one I’ve loved for 18 years.
