Works In Progress, A1c Update, and a big THANK YOU!

I am currently writing some new poetry and prose for my next upcoming book, which will be about finding love, manifesting love, and love in general. I'm hoping to go into more hope, infatuation, and falling in love; rather than breakups, toxic relationships, and the like. Since I am on a journey of finding the love of my life, seeing how Justin and I decided to part ways for good, I thought I would embrace my more sensual, desire, and wishful side. I'd like this book to be a book with my deepest wishes and desires in a romantic relationship. What I truly want and need in a partner. And maybe someday, the universe will hear these prayers and bring me the love that is meant for me.

Here are some works in progress I'd like to share with you all!

I Hope

I hope you fall in love with someone who makes you feel seen and heard.

I hope you fall in love with someone who wants to be around you, in good times and bad.

I hope you fall in love with someone who will fight for what you have.

I hope you fall in love with someone who brings light to your darkness.

I hope you fall in love with someone who can make you laugh during the hard times.

I hope you fall in love with someone who appreciates you and what you bring to the table.

I hope you fall in love with not just anyone, but someone who doesn't dim your light and makes your sparkle shine.


This one I wrote to my higher self. I hope she falls in love with someone who is all those things and more, compared to the people whom I've previously dated. A lot of the men I dated from my twenties and thirties were not a lot of these things. And I think it's because I didn't know what I was looking for. In my twenties and partially in my early 30s, I just wanted a husband and kids. But now that I'm older, going on 41, I want a husband, a best friend, a confidant, a soulmate, a partner. I want someone who makes me feel seen and heard when I express my feelings or give my opinions. I want someone who wants to be around me during my good times AND in my bad times. I want someone who will fight for our relationship and for me. I want someone who will bring light to my dark times. I want someone who makes me laugh during the trying times. I want someone who appreciates me and what I offer. And I hope my next person will not dim my light and make me sparkle and shine. They will be the cherry on the sundae.

I don't need someone afraid of being alone. I need someone who wants to add their light to mine. I don't need someone who only wants me for my body. I don't need someone who feels threatened by me.


Here is one more work in progress:


Dear Universe By: Samantha Jean Tate Copyright 2025 All Rights Reserved

Dear Universe,
Please hear my prayer.

I don't deserve someone who is apathetic
I don't deserve someone who is cold
I don't deserve someone who barely laughs
I don't deserve someone who never cries
I don't deserve someone who is cruel to his fellow human
I don't deserve someone who puts themselves on a pedestal, thinking their the best thing since cable TV

I do deserve someone who is warm and kind
I deserve someone who spoils and dines
I deserve someone who loves to laugh
I deserve someone who's not afraid to shed a tear
I deserve someone who has a big heart, for humans and animals
I deserve someone who treats me like a queen -- no, no, an empress!
I deserve someone who loves animation, dancing, pop music, and McDonald's

Now it is up to you, universe, to hear my prayer
I send this up in smoke
Hoping you will grant me this wish
To find my person
And to be with them
Once and for all!

Yeah, kinda hokey. Maybe it doesn't go well with Law of Attraction stuff, but that's my prayer. And yes, I did date someone who doesn't cry, and I did date someone who barely laughed! He would smile, but not outwardly bust up in tears laughing or cackle even.


In other news, my A1C has lowered. I'm at an 8.3 instead of 15. So the added medication to my metformin and glipizide is working, as well as my attempt at a 1700-calorie diet. I've also lost 5 pounds in one month. I'm pretty happy to be back to being 199 (back in the 100s). I always gain weight during the winter because I tend to isolate and do nothing but eat and drink. I guess that's the mammal in me. I plan on writing about this more on Instagram. If you're not following me there, you should!

And lastly, my cat Sassy and I are absolutely thrilled that everyone is purchasing a copy of my new book, See Ya & Other Goodbyes! Thank you to everyone who has made this a successful launch! We, especially I, appreciate it, and I am so full of gratitude and love for everyone who has taken the time to purchase a paperback, purchase on Kindle, or who are planning on purchasing in the future. So once again, thank you, thank you, thank you! Here's a photo of Sassy and me.
