    Summer 2019

    June was spent with my brother and his fiance. We frequented the library and coffee shop a lot to keep cool in the AC. It was actually June gloom for the whole month it seemed. I just remembered it being overcasted. I wish I had taken pictures. Oh well. Nothing happened this month. July was with brother and his fiance and we did our daily hangouts to keep cool. It was hotter days for sure! We had 4th of July and I went to my older sister's house for some BBQ and I slept over because I didn'

    The Three Women that I admire the most

    #1 My Mother! My Mom was such an amazing woman. She worked so hard all her life. I remember her juggling like 3 jobs when she got divorced just to make ends meet for her 5 children. She was my best friend and always supported me through all  my ups and downs. She died in 2018. I will forever miss her and her strong and kind ways.  #2 My Grandmothers! My Mom's mother was a wonderful lady. She was also very active in raising her children. My Dad's Mom was very caring. She always bought as Chr

    What's this about Body Kindness and A little Story

    Instead of dieting I would like to offer a different approach this year when everyone seems to wanting to diet more in January.  I have a book called Body Kindness by Rebecca Scritchfield, RDN ( Registered Dietitian Nutritionist ). It's to transform your health from inside out and never say diet again. This book shows you how to create a healthier and happier life by treating yourself with compassion rather than shame. Body Kindness is based on Four principles.  WHAT YOU DO: the choices you

    2017

    This year was filled with friendship and hanging out with said friends. I can say that this year I went out almost every weekend and just about loved it. My one regret is not meeting a personal goal. This goal would have helped me in so many ways. I will try again next year! I have hopes. Its just that time of year to get myself in perspective and learn what needs more attention on. I expect to make more money next year and also meet my personal goal. I plan on eating more vegetarian and vegan m

    May 23rd is Lucky Penny Day!

    Hi All! It's May 23, which means it is Lucky Penny Day! Have you ever found a penny lying on the ground? If you live in a country that has pennies, such as the United States and Britain, well then of course you have! Did you know what luck picking up these pennies can bring you?   No one knows who started Lucky Penny Day or when, but some say it may be a twist on the “See a pin and pick it up, all the day you'll have good luck.” and similar verses you might find in American Folklore.
