2021 New Year… New Beginning

2020….what a whirlwind of emotions. The year in review….where do I even begin. The year of 2020…..so much…yet so little to even reflect on. Hands down…COVID 19 has had a “death-grip” on the world as we all know it. It has by far exceeded itself in the lives of everyone all over the world. Causing families ….friends….co-workers…neighbors…..and especially strangers to live in fear of….contracting and possibly spreading a virus….that no one can even see. Jobs were lost….lay-offs were made……businesses closed….families …

Pursuing Your Dreams

We all have dreams….dreams of the life we long for….the job we work hard for….and more importantly the love that we yearn for. For so many this will all come so easy for them…but yet for so many others…there may be many obstacles along the way…..slowing down their dreams. A Dream Job We go to school….study hard….earn a degree….or not….because not every “dream job” requires a degree. Some are simply born with the talent…the drive…the know-how to earn a living …

My Letter To Santa

I am almost certain that there is no age limit to writing to Santa…especially if you believe….and I do believe. What I mean….is that Christmas…it’s the time for hopes…dreams…wishes and the oh so much needed miracle. So much so that sometimes….even “grown-ups”…need an outlet to pour their heart out to….let their guard down…and frankly just speak from the heart….on whatever is weighing on them….so with that and the timing of Christmas….why not put it all in writing…. so here you …

A Bit Of Christmas Magic

Once upon a time….in a land…far…far away…where “normalcy” was completely taken for granted, lived a world where millions and millions of people, sometimes lived beyond their means…or forgot what the meaning of what “family” really is. Better yet…..procrastinated because they would, “get to it later”…never took the time to just slow down….simply put….forgot how to live life from the heart. A brand new year……January 01, 2020….full of goals….expectations…hopes, and dreams….but then it happened…..COVID 19. It threw a wrench in our …

Thanksgiving…Always A Reason To Be Thankful

Thanksgiving….my most favorite time of the year….there are no presents…or shopping or the hustle and bustle of mall crowds…..oh no….only….family….fun….and food. We all have a tendency to forget how really important the time that we have on this earth…with each other, really is…..until it’s too late. So for that reason….for me…Thanksgiving is the holiday for me. Life…..it’s a gift all on its own and so easily taken for granted…..always put on the back burner….because we so easily forget….how precious each …

If You Knew Me…

If I had to describe…..me to you…it would go something like this. I am a very caring person….full of compassion….always ready to lend a hand. I feel that going the “extra mile” to help even just one person….then it is well worth the trip. I am very nurturing…sometimes even to a fault. I believe in second chances….in new beginnings….in love at first sight. I will cry at a sappy commercial…and a movie with a sweet happy ending. If the music …

The Life We Live…The World We Live In

It happens every day….we wake up….get out of bed…..and simply start our day. It’s a repetitive daily grind….for so many. Oh…don’t get me wrong….there is a lot of living going on from the time we wake up…..get out of bed….and finally “call it a day” and go to bed. But It is….what it is……the life we live. Too Much Anger….. I have never been confrontational…..I never will be…..nor ever want to be around things or people that are confrontational…..but yet….it …

Reflections…..

The light or soundwaves from another surface….an image given back by a reflecting surface…the production of an image by…or as if by a mirror. A fixing of the thoughts…..on something careful consideration at a thought occurring in consideration or meditation. Reflection in writing is the focus that is not merely descriptive. Reflection simply gives the brain an opportunity to take a pause amidst the chaos in life…..to untangle and even sort through observations and experiences…..you are almost giving the brain …

Exercising….Don’t Sweat It!

It’s an absolute fact that we are never too old to get into shape. It’s simply put that motivation is the key to getting us all up and moving around. I truly believe that the main reason most people just don’t exercise is that we end up talking ourselves out of it. I’m guilty……I’ll admit it…..but not anymore….for me anyway. The Dreaded Weight Game It really is a numbers game….it’s a fact ….. so don’t dwell on what the scale …

Music From Motown

Ahhhh……the Music of Motown….you haven’t lived until you “jived” to the sounds of Motown. But before I share with you some great songs….and some of my favorites….how about a brief history lesson first.

It was founded by Berry Gordy, Jr. as Tamla Records on January 12, 1959, and incorporated as Motown Record Corporation on April 14, 1969. Its name…..a blend of motor and …

Love…It’s What Keeps The Heart Beating

Love…Or Something Like It It’s everywhere….it really is….. don’t you know…it’s the love that we feel and the love that we share. Think about it….our lives would be so incomplete….so unfulfilled…so empty….without getting or giving love. It shouldn’t be of any surprise to you….because love…..it is what makes the world go around. There are so many ways to express your love…..it’s as plain as the nose on your face. It’s not just about the mushy lovey…..dovey…feelings we all get when …

The Next Chapter

Our entire life is an open book….okay…maybe not as open as others might be…..but none the less…..an open book….just the same. Our lives are filled with multiple chapters….some chapters are much shorter….or even longer than others. With all of the chapters combining into one lovely book…..called you. Each chapter consists of lessons learned….lessons taught….lives we’ve loved….and loves we’ve lost…..In other words……Life. Our story…..our lives…..we all have a purpose….experiences to be learned….and shared….we will make all of this and so much …
