Regrets -- we all have them. Some are just minor irritations in our day, such as a wrong shoe choice. A bad hairstyle. A decision to eat that extra-large slice of chocolate when you (and more importantly your hips) didn't need it. I call them minor irritations because for the most part, they don't alter our life too drastically.
Thirty Lessons Learned
Yet, some regrets can turn into major heartaches. These are the ones that send your life spinning into a different direction. Sometimes for the better. Often for the worse. It could be a decision to change careers. A move to another city. Maybe you walk away from someone you love because of a misunderstanding. All have the ability to radically alter your life…and you. If they don't work out, either they can leave you heartbroken and full of regret, or they can make you stronger.
I think most of us have experienced both types of regrets. I certainly have, (I still remember the time I wore two different types of shoes to work - yikes!). But I was lucky enough that my major regret turned out to be a life-altering one that changed my future for the better.
My major regret was choosing to not go to college after I graduated from high school. I was all set to attend that fall until my cousin decided to move to Austin, Texas and wanted me to go with her. I did. Six months later, I met my future husband and we've been together ever since. So my major regret definitely moved my life into a better direction.
In my latest release from Totally Bound called Thirty Lessons Learned, Paige Wilder makes the decision to go to a masquerade ball one night and meets the man who will ultimately change her life for the better.
So, what's your regret?
All the best…

Thirty Lessons Learned Blurb:
Experience has shown Paige Wilder that relationships end badly, so she's not looking for another. That is, until she meets Jude Martin.
It's been said that life is just a series of events with consequences. On their own, they don't add up to much. But when you put them together, you never know where they'll end up taking you or what the outcome will be.
Paige Wilder's game changer happens when she's dumped by a boring guy who finds her to be too boring. What?
Paige decides she's done with men. She has several good friends, she lives in one of the most exciting cities in the world and she has a perfect companion to come home to at night-her little dog Sammy. Who needs a man? At least that's what Paige thinks, until she attends a masquerade ball and ends up meeting the man of her dreams-who just happens to be her new boss.
About MJ:
MJ Eason grew up in a small Texas town famous for, well not much of anything really. Being the baby of the family and quite a bit younger than her brothers and sister, MJ had plenty of time to entertain herself. Making up stories seem to come natural to her. As a pre-teen, MJ discovered romance novels and knew instinctively that was what she wanted to do with her over-active imagination. She wrote her first novel as a teen, (it's tucked away somewhere never to see the light of day), but never really pursued her writing career seriously until a few years later, when she wrote her first romantic comedy and was hooked. Today, MJ still lives in Texas, and still writes about romance. In fact, she can't think of anything else she'd rather do.
