Butterflies I recently happened on Tabitha Brown while scrolling through Facebook. She is fun to watch and has a message to share. I was intrigued by her personality, so much that I continued to watch her videos the rest of the night. The last video was about “dimes” her mother was leaving her after her death (watch the video below). I reached out to her and she kindly allowed me to mention her on my blog. Everything happens for a reason The most significant deaths in my life were my paternal grandparents. They were always a part of my life. As a child I was with them all the tim ..read more

Being immobilized I spent much of my life preventing conflict with someone that is very close to me. I dressed, spoke and behaved in a manor this person wanted, only to please them. I don’t remember anything being said but it was clearly implied. I felt intimidated and if I did not do as told there would be retaliation. I was immobilized, made to believe what I thought and felt were not important. I believed because they provided for my care, I had no choice, I was under their control.   This effected how I performed at work because I was scared to go against authority. Socially, I wa ..read more

Maxwell Blu Maxwell Blu is my Siamese cat. He is my best friend. He is 8 years old with a personality all his own, as do all cats. Siamese cats have always been the “family cat” in my family. I’ve had 6 in my life time. Maxwell is smart, fun, needy and desire plenty of attention. I work from home, he spends all of his weekdays laying on top of my desk on top of my papers. He tries to get as close to me as possible while laying on the desk. If I touch him he always responds with a meow. This meow I know not what it means. His evenings are spent at the top of the stairs watching me coo ..read more

Travel Paris and Rome 9 days – 3 days in Paris and 4 days in Rome.   Paris reminds me of New York city, the subways, streets and people strolling around at night. The subway goes to all landmarks. The architecture in Paris is beautiful. Unfortunately, many of my photos were lost from but I still have Notre-Dame de Paris. Notre-Dame de Paris Architecture Rome is also a beautiful city. It is the capital of Italy. I love to historical sights. Some of the buildings in the historical area still have the original architecture. You can even see where some buildings were added to o ..read more

Blogging The decision to blog I have wanted to start a blog for at least 4 years, which stemmed from me wanted to start a newsletter for children when my daughter was about 9 years old. I know the content I was going to write about, the targeted age group and how it would be set up. At the time I had no idea how to get it off the ground, how to market it or how to get it out to children. I spend a few years on a spiritual journey. Living my life my way, believing my own beliefs and growing into a person that was stifled from being herself. I was always judged, someone was telling ..read more

When the time is right Several years ago, I went through a devastating point in my life. My husband and I were going through a divorce. As a married woman with children my mother felt she needed to control what I did, how I did it and was overly critical when I made a decision without her. I was also having trouble at work, a co-worker, who befriended me, started to tell mutual associates that I was not kind to her. I found out later that she never gave specifics they believed her because they did have any reason to doubt what she was saying. They slowly excluded me and stop talking ..read more

Know your purpose I have heard of many people talk about their purpose in life. I never thought about my purpose or if I even had a purpose. People are searching for theirs by traveling, venturing into new projects or doing things out of their comfort zone. One day I was talking to a friend who told me she is having concerns about her faith; spiritual and/or religious. She has been too busy to attend church and not focusing on improving herself. Her reasoning was; she is busy with work, a recent business she started and her full-time job. She also mentioned she was deali ..read more

What to pack in your carry on on a long flight? I’ve been on several flights, long and short. I really, never thought much about what to being in my carry on or why. Usually we think of the basics, such as; electronic devices, reading material, video games, downloaded movies, to occupy our time. Hearing about travelers losing their luggage, I thought it did not happen as often as it does… until…. Story time My husband and I planned an international trip for our 26th anniversary. We found a great deal to Paris and Rome. We purchased suitcases, some clothing and other necessitie ..read more
