Book Review: Stacey Dash’s “There Goes My Social Life: From Clueless to Conservative”

staceydash_theregoesmysociallife

Stacey Dash’s debut book There Goes My Social Life: From Clueless to Conservative is the most incredible roller coaster ride ever! Her autobiography is raw, open and honest to a fault. And I have to say….. I love her for it.

To be completely honest, Ms. Dash’s messy life (in her early years), blunt political views and long journey to redemption is a tough pill to swallow. It took me months to finally finish reading it! I was horrified by the cursing and descriptions of the many levels of abuse. So, I can say that I was overcome with emotion while reading the 246 pages of her book. I was heartbroken by the retelling of abuse and neglect she endured as a child. Her promiscuous young adult life left me completely baffled. But, her ultimate acceptance of salvation through Jesus Christ is what won me over.

Now, I don’t agree with everything she stated in the book. (Example: I don’t talk politics, because I think everyone should do their own research when it comes to candidates.) Nonetheless, I respect her for telling her life story and trusting the world to accept her as she is. That is not an easy thing to do!  I applaud her for taking off any mask and coming clean.

If you are looking to read an autobiography sans sugarcoating that has a happy ending, this book is for you.

*A Special Thanks to Regnery Publishing for a complimentary copy of the book.*

Kyle Long Shares Empowering Message After Upsetting Loss to Houston Texans

Go Bears!

The Bears put up a great fight today, but they weren’t quite able to surpass the Houston Texans on the scoreboard. 14 to 23 was the final score.

Nonetheless, Bears’ player Kyle Long refused to let his team’s first loss of the season get him down. The NFL guard decided to share a empowering message to his fans and teammates via Twitter to let them know he is ready to take on any challenge this season.

“I’m a man. I stand for a few things. I share those same sentiments with my teammates. We lost a tough one. We never lay down our swords. I know the men I share the locker room with. I’m excited 2watch how we react to today’s game. I know how I will respond. I know how WE will. 

Big shoutout to all the Navy and Orange in the stadium today.”

SF9’s Rowoon Shines in Playful Intro Video

rowoon

Sf9 used the entire month of August to further introduce themselves to K-Pop fans. Of course, Ro Woon was the last member to share his Self PR Video which he silently bragged about his height, face size and overall good looks. The seemingly humble singer-to-be even joked that he was the “mother” of the group by washing everyone’s clothes!

Ro Woon is a cutie! I love seeing new updates about him, and his upcoming band on social media. Even though no one can replace SHINee in my heart, I have a feeling SF9 has so much to offer. I’ll reiterate…when SF9 really gets started on world tour dates, Chicago should be first on the list!

Jamie Grace Parts Ways with Gotee Records + Announces New Music Plans

JamieGrace

Jamie Grace posted on Instagram today,  “I am very excited to say that I have been working on new music and will be touring and releasing new music very soon. However, while I am grateful for how my platform as an artist was expanded while on Gotee Records, the steps I take in the future will not be as an artist on that label.

Jamie Grace right now is the same Jamie Grace who signed up at Youtube.com ten years ago to make people smile. To bring people joy. To encourage people. All because I found the love of Jesus and desperately needed to share it.

So with my music, books, ministry, films (what?!), exciting new opportunities and all else the Lord puts on my heart and, that is what I will strive to do. Tell the world about the joy I found in Jesus Christ.

Join my newsletter at jamiegrace.com to be the FIRST to know when my third studio album will be released.”
