So we write, tweet, vlog or whatever social media tactic you are wanting to try, they keep on sending more goodies for you to try! I’m excited to get started, so if you want to learn more, just click on the widget above!

 

A Tub, My Ocean.

Today, is the day. Brother’s and sisters of another love. I won’t cry when it’s time to fall.

For the first time in a long time, longer than I can even remember, I have turned off my brain. Maybe it was the glass or two of wine that I decided to have after work. All I know is that despite all of the things that I had running through my head roughly 3 hours ago, I’m right where I need to be in order to just BE. Man it feels good. I’m not forcing myself to do anything, I’m not over thinking things. I’m just allowing myself to feel relaxed. What I need to do with the rest of my life doesn’t need to be figured out tonight. My endless spiral of a disaster I call my life isn’t going to come to a resolution this instant. So instead, I will pour another glass, turn on my television and sit in a hypothetical bubble bath. One day I will have a tub big enough to fit me….

 

 

 

 

That’s more like it…

Anything Could Happen.

As I sit in bed on a snowy night, watching each flake fall as if covering a the floor to mask the ground that lays beneath it, I think of what it is that I could do with my 100% full day to myself. So I decided to learn a new song. One of my current favorites that motivates and inspires me to keep going.

 

 

 

Because it’s that time in my life, and anything could happen.

Priorities.

Day 190: Remember your priorities.

It has been exactly 64 days since I last wrote in here. I suppose you could say that I did the opposite of what I told myself I was going to do. Or maybe I did just that. So where have I been?

Work has definitely taken over a huge part of where I have been. I’m on the path of trying to figure out exactly what it is that I want to do with my life. Or where it is I want to be. I keep listening to other people around trying to shove ideas down my throat of where I’m supposed to end up, or how things are supposed to play out. But in reality, it’s no ones decision but myself.

It has been 190 days since I have began the process of healing myself. This blog didn’t start out that way, the blog began as something I thought would be an outlet to force myself outside of my tiny little box and learn something. I could finally say that I was a girl who was well versed in so many aspects. But here I stand, 6 feet small. 

Where do I go from here?

Well, I have a goal in mind actually. But I suppose it’s ok to say this to a group of 30 strangers who follow me and will never actually know me except through my absurd wordpress posts.

But I shall keep it to myself in the mean time. I guess I need a plan. Whatever that plan is.

So priorities? I have my family. I have my friends. I have a roof over my head. I have God. I have dreams. So I think that my priorities are finally ok.

So Day 190, after 263 days of having this blog around. Impressive. I will no longer be counting my days away. Let’s just see what happens next?

My Music.

Day 126: Cut back to quit and be rid of smoking.

Currently the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do was quit smoking. I will be the first to admit that I’ve tried everything in the book. Cold Turkey. E-cigarettes. Snaking. Running. Walking up and down stairs. Yelling. Lollipops. Gum. Watching disgusting videos of what it does to my body. Yet somehow, I’m still smoking. Not nearly as much as I was before, but I do the itch from the monster throughout the day. Instead of a pack a day, I’m down to 1 every 3 days. So it’s taking me longer than I anticipated, but I’m not giving up hope yet. I’m currently reading a book that “supposedly” by the end of it I will never feel the urge to smoke again. That has been what has helped me to cut back this much, but I’m not going to quit quitting. I have great support so it’s been helpful.

In order to preoccupy myself, I decided to pick up a few new hobbies:

1. Zumba.

2. Painting/Drawing/Charcoal.

3. Writing more music.

4. Pinterest arts and crafts (you would be surprised how many awesome things are out there).

Number 3 has definitely been a huge part. My friend Alexx inspired me to really get going with it. It’s been a slow start, but I’m trying to pick up the pace with getting my music out there. I’ve shared this once before, but I figured I would try it again. So here it is…

Please go the link above and Like my music Facebook page. I will post new songs and videos as frequently as possible. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share this with your friends. The video in the post below is my latest song Time to Fall. It involves a compilation of videos and memories from the past few months of my life that have been the most life altering I have yet to experience. So please, share the love.
