It’s September! And considering it is now September 17th, I think it is safe to say I am late with this blog post.

The last few months have been such a ride with the state of the world and everything that goes along with it. That being said, I feel this may be part of the reason I avoid writing here.

There is so much coming out of the news cycle these days and in everything I have read and learned there is A LOT of corruption. Unfortunately, it is hard for me to keep quiet online when I see lying, cheating and blatant criminality. So I speak out and these days speaking out against corruption gets a whole slew of opposing opinions to come after you. However, I have learned a lot of this opposition is the product of agencies working for the criminals. Isn’t that something? The criminals are paying agencies to employ teams of accounts to silence us so they can get away with their criminality. Let that sink in.

And isn’t that the point, to silence those who are speaking out? Because God forbid anyone say anything bad about a certain someone or a certain political party, even if it’s true!! It is really mind blowing 🤯 I won’t stop speaking up, but it does keep me from sharing more of what’s going on in my life.

That aside, we are moving forward with our kitchen remodel and it is really coming along. I couldn’t be more thrilled! I will say all these choices and decisions are much more daunting than I could have ever imagined.

Here is where we are in the process. We are now awaiting the arrival of windows. Yay!

On the other hand, the better hand, I am not complaining and grateful we have the ability to make this happen, especially with what is going on in our world today.

Stay safe and please get vaccinated 🙏

Happy 4th of July!

I can’t think of a year in my life that I have felt about the fourth of July the way I do today. So much has happened in our nation recently that has me take notice of how wonderful this country really is. And if some of what happened here in America, happened in other countries those countries may not have been able to withstand it. Thankful for America and our intelligence agencies hard at work protecting us!

Personally, this past month was eventful in that I found an injured baby bird early one evening. I tracked down a wildlife center, but they were closed and not open until 8am the next day. Saddened to say my story didn’t have a happy ending like those Dodo videos. But it was a remarkable experience and I hope one day I get the chance to redeem myself with the bird nation.

Last night we received, what I believe to be the final plans for our new kitchen. Thankful for all my reading, watching, listening, saving, pinning, etc., because it really helped in the design of it all. At this point, I couldn’t be more thrilled!

Have a wonderful and safe holiday 🇺🇲

May The 4th Be With You

It’s May 4th. I’m late.

I can’t believe the days got away from me like that. Actually, I can believe it because I’m not the best with time, but I’m way better than I was and that’s progress.

I did have a bit of an awakening this past month. I joined a book club and realized the book I was reading was running a parallel to my life. Thankfully, I was reminded that I need to continue to focus on myself and my passions. Because in my current role as a mother and wife I can sometimes lose myself. And I’ve learned over the years that if I’m not happy with myself I’m not going to be happy with anyone else.

So, cheers to us moms and wives who are always in the cheering section for everyone else, let’s cheer on ourselves this month and every month on after!

May the force be with you.

Marching Forward

Happy March Monday!

It’s the first day of March and in a couple of weeks we will be changing our clocks forward. I cannot believe how fast time has gone and it appears the faster time goes by the older I get. That saying, “The days are long but the years are short” is so true and in an odd way that feeling is magnified by this pandemic.

For me, some of the more notable events this past month are that I began journaling, turned a year older, picked up a new client as well as took the leap and purchased a new phone.

I like the journaling, but I’m not doing it every day and told myself that’s okay. I’m realizing it’s a good way to express all that crud that goes on in my brain.

I discovered purchasing a new phone these days is a lot like purchasing a vehicle; the contract, payments and set up are all so consuming and a bit overwhelming.

Lastly, this is the 3rd post of the year as I have been posting on the 1st of every month. I like this trend and I’m going to try to keep doing it. And not because I have a fun and awesome story to tell or that I have a big following, but because it keeps me present.

Hello February

The month of January was very eventful. And the first week of the new year was one for the records. That being said, I am thankful for a new month and hoping that it starting on a Monday is symbolic.

I am working to get back to a space of inspiration and as I assess my world I can see I have lots to keep me inspired.

Today’s inspiration, among a handful, is Black History Month. I have learned a lot about black history. Unfortunately, I’ve learned more in the past 3 years than I have my whole life. Why is that? Why don’t schools do a better job at educating our kids on black history? For me, this book was a wake up call. It lead me on a path of discovery that is heartbreaking yet enlightening and inspiring, I am thankful and better because of it.

If you’re asking yourself why you should read it or why do we have a Black History Month then you’re one of the many Americans who should read it. And if you decide to forge ahead then come back and let me know what you think.

Have a wonderful February ❤
