Love and Laughter Through The Tears

We fell so deeply,
our souls enter-twined,
we are eternal,
through the seeds of time,

You have given me laughter,
through pain and sorrow,
I still receive the humor,
through the breeze that flows,

Your time on earth ended,
I filled with tears,
I see and feel your presences near,
now the tears hold joy,
for your still eternally here,

You have brought me love and laughter through the tears

Ms. Nicholson has received numerous reviews of her poetry these include:

Reflections Of The Year


As we are near this years end close we all take a moment to reflect on things that have happened and occurred. In the world as events had unfolded but mostly we sit and reflect on our past year. I truly believe everyone does this if not they really should. Reflection is not a way to take stock of our faults or others. It is not a time to remember the not so kind person that have passed through our lives. It is a time to reflect things had personally occurred to us in our lives the things we shall remember of this year that will come past.

I look back at my friends how glad for the new one's I have acquired and very happy to have my old ones so present in my life. When I was dancing with the devil they were right there by my side. Keeping me from jumping off that cliff and wanting to give up and call it a permanent day in life forever. They made me laugh and even cry. They held me when I needed it and cursed with me when I became angry. They stood by me the whole time never giving up on me even when I gave up on myself. They regaled me with events in their lives which prompted the future book "Don't Drink The Water Stupid". They stood by me with each idea I had and encouraged me along the way. For I love them all dearly and am grateful we have another upcoming year to share.

On that note I am glad I out danced the devil once more. Hopefully he has given up this time. If not I am sure my friends will be there with me again ready to kick his ass back down again. I reflect this moment in tears for those of us that just gave it all they had but their last song was played and they could not out dance the man in black. Their memory will also remain with me in my heart and soul.

I am glad for my fans that read what I write for if it was not for them I would not have a career. Actually I am not to sure what I would do if I could not write. I love writing and love the way the world around ones self can give inspiration to a person.

I am very grateful for my musician friends who let me use their music for my videos and help support my Musician Fight For Life charity. They are all very talented in their own rights and very true and genuine caring persons I have ever met. Yes guys I will be back for more music so keep on writing, recording and bringing the joy of sound to a peoples lives that you all touch in your own unique way.

I'm grateful and thankful for my sister. Who always is there when I need her. Who has stopped me from cliff jumping a few times and held me tight on these dam roller coaster rides. Not only is she my lil sis and business partner but she is also my best friend.

Lastly I am grateful for that one special person in my life. He has gone through so many rounds of my illness with me yet never let me lose hope. Even when I know he was scared of losing me. He has also backed me in any thing I wish to do. Shows me immense love around the clock. He inspires my writing and makes me finally smile after a long time of sorrow.

Ok one more lastly for my wolf girl who even though she insists on sticking wet nose in my face 100 times a day, wants to eat my shoes at times, tries to eat her sister the baby kitten, she never left my side when I was really sick. Hopefully the terrible two's only last for a year.

Even if you only have a few minutes today or tomorrow take time to reflect on the things that have touched your heart the most.

Biggest Irritations Of 2009

Since 2006 at the end of each year I list my biggest irritations of the year. So here we go the biggest ones I have endured for the years close.

I am sure everyone has seen the jeep commercial. Where we have these women who go to beauty salon and spend two hours getting their hair done. Mind you two hours in beauty salon is not cheap. Their hair comes out fantastic. They hop in their jeeps because nothing is going to stop them from driving their jeep. Okay no woman that I know of in her right mind will spend that time getting their hair done and blow it all to hell just to drive their jeep. Had to been a male who thought of that commercial.

Best Buy commercial now I like Best Buy I got this computer there. However, I know for a fact we don't pull up to best buy wondering what to buy someone and have a group of Christmas caroling employees belt out a song that tells what it is we want.

Geico commercial is not any better here. Grant it some are cute. The one with the boss wanting to do trust exercise and fall backwards on that little green dude. If that happened they would end up calling the insurance company Lizard or something. The little guy would of gone splat and all the helium in the world would not revive him.

Power tools. Oh yes here we go again with men and the power tools department Like I had stated before it is bad enough men drool over them, fondle them and if they could more than likely marry them. So what happens near Christmas time. We have to advertise the great American power tools sale. The tool companies just have to invent some new tool that has the ability to simplify life. So once again here comes another power tool home. That will be fondled, drooled on, caressed. The end result we will need to go out to the garage to find something and end up tripping over the dam thing. Why? Because after the ultimate orgasm the man has over this nifty new tool. It sits on floor waiting for us to just trip over the dam thing. Mind you it's effect of captivating qualities has long since worn off to the males erogenous zone and so it lays there remembering when it was held and fondled till that bright new shiny other harlot of a tool came home.

The pharmaceutical companies. Yep they made my list for sure. Gotta love those commercials for male enhancement drugs. Not only do they claim the man can go longer but oh my God ladies if we are lucky we can actually get another inch or two out of the deal. Makes you just want to rush out to the dam store buy it for your man and recreate the story of Pinocchio. It seems to be when we agreed to be with the person we are with we accepted them for who they are and not to change them. I thought this included their anatomy also, I could of been wrong. Is it not bad enough we have been told to get botox, breast implants, wear tummy flattners, and just about anything else we can think of. So now we are basically telling men hey buddy you need some help in your size. Then they attach a warning yet to it saying if you are erect for more than four hours seek treatment. Here is a fact of life if a man stayed erect for more than four hours and did not fall asleep on us we sure the heck would not be rushing him off for treatment but enjoying the ride.

Diets yep we had our share of these this year. Lose pounds instantly. Eat what you want and lose weight. Here is my question on that if we could eat what we want and lose weight why would we pay your company $300.00 a month to do this. Now you notice they show you cake and brownies...did ya notice they do not show potato chips in this commercial. Like they do not think we have common sense here. Go to the doctor have him give you a sensible diet to follow. Cut out starches and sugars. We do have brains and yes I know occasionally we do use them to think.

My old time ongoing favorite again the check out line. Big sign says ten items or less not ten plus. If you have more items in your cart than you have fingers on your hands evidently you have too many items. Push cart to line that does not have limit the rest of the world may appreciate it.

Friendly advice from your friends. We all have friends we all love our friends most of the time that is. Why is everyone seems to be able to offer unsolicited sage advice on your relationship. They think the person your involved with should do this or that. However, do they stop and think if you are not complaining about it why should they offer their unsolicited opinion. If we want one we will ask for it. Evidently our relationship seems fine to us or we would not be in it. They start off with their usual I don't want to say this or tell you this but I think.. Ok hold the phone if you don't want to then shut the hell up now before you stick your foot in your mouth. Then they rattle on how upsetting they know it is. What they fail to realize they are the ones doing the upsetting part. The end result here is either you lose a friend., or lose a relationship. As the old saying goes let sleeping dogs lay. If we want an opinion we will ask for it. Did it ever occur to you that you may not have all the facts at hand. So in order to save our sanity, our friendship shut the hell up.

The great Christmas let us show up someone shopping theory. We all love to spoil our children and get them what they want. However, this is not realistically possible all times. Yet you have Mr. and Mrs. Smith that just have to show up every parent in the neighborhood by having the most lavish Christmas light display, gift buying, spoil child rotten tendency. Just so they can brag and boast about it. For Mr. and Mrs. Smith here is a news flash of reality we may not all be able to afford to do what you do but at least we know that at the end of the holiday season we are still tucked in our beds warm, safe and content. Not hiding from creditors or moving our family to Mexico changing our names to Pedro, Juan and Gonzales.

The great bottle water debate. Gotta love this one. One brand tastes so much better than the other kind. Ummm hate to inform persons of this little fact but water has no taste. So how can someone state it tastes better.

Hunters verses idiots. As most of us know I am dead set against killing deer. This is my own personal belief. I have no objections to those that hunt in order to put food on their table for the winter. I am talking about those that go out and kill for the fun of just bragging on what size rack they got and have no intentions of doing anything with the meat. If you do not wish to have the meat at least take it in to be processed and give to a food shelter so others may have food on their table for their children that they are having a hard time providing.

Social site pictures. This one cracks me up . I mean right down to rolling on floor laughing my ass off. Men and ladies yep both are guilty here. Pay attention for once. Just because they happen to have a really hot picture up does not mean it is them. A lot of times you will find that same picture on photo bucket...in modeling magazines...et...So before you wet yourself and think you stumbled across a Greek Adonis or the most beautiful woman in the world pay attention here.

The world is coming to a end. Yes folks we have all heard it or seen the special it is predicted the earth will end in 2012. If that is the case then why don't the mortgage companies forgo every loan mortgage out there. Why do we have to pay for essential items needed. Why are we not getting our utilities for free then. It is just like Y2K scare. Just think first before you go and get yourself in debt building the fool proof shelter. If the world did end what good would that shelter do you?

That concludes my year end list for 2009.

I wish everyone a very joyous holiday season and a fantastic new year.
Universal love, light and peace to all.

And I Thought Dancing With The Devil Was Tough

I have danced with the devil to survive. I have actually won and found rainbow each time. It was a hard dance. For those of us who have danced or are dancing know how hard it can be. The pain, fear, tension, anxiety and whatever else you care to add into the mix. However, yep you knew I had one coming and yes it is the male species again. I guess they just can not stop drinking that stupid water or something. I am just so frustrated I could most likely scream at this point. Wait I have. Do not get me wrong here not all males are stubborn and so dam conforming in the me male you woman routine. Some can not seem to get past it though. I do not mean to clean house, have dinner ready. Oh no its much much worse it is the old adage I be male hear me roar or bleach whatever the case my be at the time. I have to do it all. I have to be responsible for all finances if not my dam ego takes a blow. Hello guys this is 2009. Just to give you a news flash while you are sipping that dang water. In todays world yes the real one here. It does take two persons to help run a household. So unless you have a mouse in your pocket or whatever else and please guys do not share that with me. Accept this fact.

Second news flash here for you males that have a mouse and a roar or roaring mouse. Keep on sipping. Hell I suggest you move on to something stronger now this may actually send you into shock. We women, most of us do not mind helping. Actually we do prefer it. I think I just heard one of you choke on that shot. Yes we do. Do not look so dang shocked. We were not all raised to let the man take care of it. Take a double shot now. We actually oh my God hang on guys we have a brain. We have careers, we know what we want. We do not mind helping if you would just ask. What is asking going to shrink your size down a few inches and not saying which one or both for that matter. We do not enjoy asking you for money either, or help. Hey we swallow our ego and pride at times not because we want to but because we have to in order to achieve our goal at the time. Goals you remember those men right, future, happiness, love of your life. Being with that one person you can not imagine living without. Sharing each other's lives and working together towards a future. It is not letting one do it and not the other. I swear at times I seriously think you expect us to be Donna Reed in the dang kitchen with a ruffled apron on and pearls. News flash here we are more like Rose-Anne Connor and work in order to help out. You forget it is just not your life it is ours too.

Like I said dancing with the devil was so much easier than trying to get through a mans mind while he is drinking that stupid water. We are not out to bruise your man hood. We are not out to be the so called bread winner. Yes we hate that term. Relationship men, two people not one here but two. It should not matter who makes what or who contributes what. If one person happens to have the means in a relationship to reach the goal you both want then it should not matter. The only thing that matters is being happy with one another and living your lives together. If I learned one thing from my many dances with the devil is this: life is too dam short...there may not be a tomorrow. I for one do not want to wake up one day and finding out a dream that could of been a reality was side stepped due to one persons pride. There is no such thing as perfect timing or ideal time. Carp de diem guys seize the moment. For moments can come and go faster than what you think.

For the sake of us women out here. Put down the stupid water. Take a deep breath and smell the dam coffee. Look us in the eyes and see the love we have for you and relax on who should do what. It is a joint effort. Cherokee belief with a kiss the souls of each other are combined to one spirit. So guys take the hint here we are one.

My friend

I must say that Miss Nicholson is a good friend maybe even the most awesome of friends. What a fighter she is maybe more of a fighter then all of us combined. Through our friendship I was able to begin a life long dream of writing only because of her inspirations. When I look back at my life and the hardships I have encountered mine are mild in caparison to hers. She everyday dances with a devil yet never loses her sense of purpose her wonderful wit or the awareness of her roots. You ask what devil well its cancer!! Yes that devil is a part of all our worlds. Can anyone say today that this devil hasn’t changed their world I sure you can’t? I have seen it in my family and in dear friends and lost my share. It’s been in my mom a survivor in the lose of my best friend to name a couple. For some it comes hard for others it is numbing for all it’s a tragedy. For my good friend Deb Nicholson it’s an outlet another way to express herself and a way for her to show the world she’s a winner. And what a winner she is! A writer of several books, numerous poems, promoter of new up and coming artists and most of all and most important a stanch advocate for a cure for cancer. Let me tell you Mr. Devil you don’t want this Cherokee girl after you. Her spirit rides on the wind fast as lightning supported by the souls of her ancestors toughened by the spirit of the wolf and free as the flight of the hawk yet bright and colorful as the rainbow. Yes Mr. Devil she will win and yes Mr. Devil your dance is done. For you dance with MY FRIEND.

Interview With Author Rick Shamber

Interview with Author Rick Schamber
by
Author Debbie Nicholson





What type of writing do you do? (example history, romance, how to et...)



I wrote book for the outdoor and hunting enthusiast in some what of a how to and fashion with stories included.

Where do you get your ideas from:?

My ideas come from many years of self study of wildlife along with 36 years as a successfully hunter and guide

When did you first decide you wanted to write?
I have wanted to write for several years just never got around to it and when I found time this last winter I decided to start so with pen and paper I did.

How would you describe your writing style?

Straight forward factual how to information including real life story's with a light side

Has anyone made a influence on you as a writer?
First off I would have to say my father even though he wasn't a pro writer he did write lots about his experiences in the second world war and his life like mater of fact style is what i hope i can reproduce in my writing

Do you have a set schedule for writing if not why?

When I first started this book I did stick to a regimented schedule but as i went on with it I found its not how things would flow the best so I would write when it hit me and if it was for 5 lines OK if it was a whole story fine and I have gone back and looked over how it has all come out and I can see a difference.

Any hobbies and interests?

Yes I have many really anything outdoors hunting fishing golf wood working building turkey calls the garden im a trained master mechanic and master machinist and still like to tinker with that wildlife all of the archery and shooting sports as well






Describe in a sentence or two how you feel when you write?

It feels great to be able to share my experiences and to be helpful with information

What do you want to convey through your writing?
Good solid helpful information along with truthful how to knowledge with fun stories from the field

Where do you see yourself in a few years from now?

Continuing with my outdoors activities as a guide and outfitter along with teaching others about the out doors.

Any long term goals?

I think for me long term i need to continue to learn and share as much as i can. to me its important to give back the knowledge I have gained over the years and plan to continue doing so weather its through spending time with others in the field or in my writings

If you could give one piece of advice for new writers what would it be?

My advise would have to be to just go for it. If you have something to say or experiences to share you have to do it or you will always feel a need not fulfilled we all have something creative in us to keep it in is not the thing to do. There should be no fear write you always can go back and revise your work to perfection and when you have share it.

Anything else you would like to add?

Even though we have so many ways to gain information today there's no substitute for the personal touch. I don't know one person in my life or for that matter maybe on this planet that doesn't have something to share. You don't have to be a writer to do this. One can always volunteer in some way whether it in a school or some other forum to give that personal or creative ability a chance to come out. just do it the rewards are grand.
