#WednesdayWordswithFriends Welcomes Sandra Byrd!

Good Morning Dear Friends,

I pray you're having a BLESSED week so far and that the blessings continue until they chase you down and run you over! Yesterday I shared some Good News/Bad News with my newletter readers. If you haven't subscribed please do so now. Meanwhile, you can check out the news HERE. 

Enough about me.

Today's guest was introduced to you back in July when we spotlighted her book Heirlooms, so please welcome Sandra Byrd back as she some Unforgetable Do's and Don'ts of a Second Chance Romance.....Take it away, Sandra!

My first novel—written as a young teenager—was about two people who had fallen in love but realized they could never be together. Why not? They were both from the North Pole and, like magnets, would always repel each other. Instead of trying to “connect” again, they went their separate ways to find a “South Pole” romance partner to whom they could attach instead.

But sometimes, in life and books, a second chance romance with an old love is a good thing. Reunited, the couple finds they click in ways they never could before. So what, then, are some of the dos and don’ts to consider before trying once more?

Let’s try again if

o We both have open hearts and are willing to discuss what went wrong before.

o Both of us are willing to forgive and rekindle.

o Both of us have grown in maturity—and maybe faith—from our first time around.

o Respect and the desire to see one another grow and be fulfilled mark our interactions. We’re growing together and growing, together.

o We feel like we’re better together than apart.

We need to stay apart if

o Trust was broken in any way.

o One of us feels owed a second chance.

o The first breakup would be a relationship weapon from now on.

o One of us is trying to control the other.

o The chemistry is gone—we’re just attracted to familiarity, not each other.

GREAT advice Sandra, thank you for sharing!
