Life in a NutShell.

Were at that time of the year again folks where another year has come to past and the celebration of the Christmas holiday is more about receiving then giving. I hope my readers have had more ups the downs this past year and wish the best for all of you in 2018.          The Holidays are a time to spend with the ones you love most, kids, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. All there to crack jokes and talk about the bad and the good that the year has brought. Even though a lot of people dread the holidays, they end up loving it by the days end. So this Christmas, don't only cherish the family and friends that you have but love yourself in the process, look forward to the new year and the years to come because even in this new age of thinking there is still tomorrow to look forward to. Give the gift of giving, don't worry about what you receive but know that you put a smile on someones face because of the little things. Help a stranger ...

The Carousel  never stops turning {Grey's Anatomy} Oh yes, I went there because it makes the most sense. It never stops turning as the carousel is a reference to life, and the full circle that is life. We always seem to go through cycles where the going gets good and then its great! a full 360 and were back to being sad, unhappy and the bad things in life. You know the kind that  pokes it's ugly head from the gutter. "surprise"* Que the sad music*  I think its funny, "Don't get too comfortable" They say because you never know when the circle will catch fire. Its the complete truth, so much truth can be found in those four little words that it hurts, you can not predict what will happen a few hours from now let alone tomorrow. In the blink of an eye everything that you hold dear can be torn from you. I know it's not the best thing to think about but it is a reality that haunts us all. "Expect the unexpected" take that phrase to heart beca...

We never truly realize how fast things can get stolen from us. How we get too comfortable with the way our lives are that we forget how quickly it can be taken from us. This past Friday something traumatic happened to my family, a unexpected painful thing that didn’t end in horribly tragic way  but enough to open our eyes to the gift that we’ve been given. Friday the 13th no doubt... It was a normal day, my fiancé and our three babies ran errands like any other day. He headed to work, like any normal day, 6:30 that evening he headed out the door. An hour later on the Dot, I receive a phone call. He was in a car accident and was at the hospital.. My heart stopped. I knew that hearing his voice means that he’s alive but I needed the validation that we wasn’t severely injured. The next thing I knew a ding and a picture of the car, totaled, rubble, I mean how did he walk away alive? Mangled. The thought continued to rush through my mind, my kids still have their father, yes, he is al...

  As humans we are biologically programmed to believe that our way maybe the best way 7/10 times we refuse others idea or adopt others thoughts as our own claiming that we don't know what the big deal Is. A suggestion offers help so why does it matter. We often fail to make the connection that what we have done hurts others around us by failing to acknowledge their contributions as the only end that we can picture is the one where were on top. You are thinking about this pretty deeply now huh? Have even caught yourself in plenty of instances where this is true for you. Don't feel bad it happens and happens so much that it goes unnoticed. Wondering why? Let's start with the fast paced life that we all live. Routine and on the go, never stopping and when we do we wonder why the hours seem like minutes and the days go by unnoticed. We've adopted the notion that to live is to work and just the thought the value of time and the luxury of relaxation to go unused, unnotic...

There's always that desire to know what goes on around us, we stress, strain and fight until the answers that we seek are inches from our grasp. Here's the real strain, knowing. knowing what lies ahead of us, we think that we have it all figured out. That if we just knew where we were going, we could be in control. Take the wheel and steer right into the positive side. Isn't the unknowing more fun? Is it not easy to live carefree and start anew? Let the anxiety and fear wash away and become that moment that was once dreaded. Life is deadly, in one way to the next. It is not simple, it is a twisty complexity of messes, a roller coaster without a stop. So what is the trouble with knowing what lies ahead? Well in this twisty world, unpredictability is key. Why plan and set aside, straining your very being with the stress and anticipation only to be let down by the outcome, this my friends happens 9/10 times.  Plans are created because that's all it is a plan, you pla...

Now more than ever it seems that we an intelligent species cannot sway from our constant lives of work and no play to find a distraction in the beauty that the Earth herself offers to us. The beach is my solitude, maybe it was years of, sand in my toes and the waves crashing against my skin, that I buried myself in the very essence of "there's no place like home" but when being an  adult hit, I forgot what it was like to enjoy the salt in the air and the breeze through my hair. We often do that a lot forget, on a daily basis really, that there is so much more to living then working our fingers to the bone and stressing if it's safe to walk down the street in our neighborhoods. Nowadays we can not say that it's safe because of the deranged run rampant and the sane are forced to take cover and forget about life's simple pleasures. Really? What the hell happened, why must we fall from the life of ease and work our way into struggle? because that's the wa...

Doesn't that seem ironic that I would name this blog post, it's been awhile. I truly mean that, and to my readers, I'm sorry because I have not kept my word and I would really like to explain why I have not been making posts about God knows what ( Laugh out loud) Okay so to refresh, Yes, I am pregnant and had mentioned that I think in a post or two, well as it turns out, this is not a normal pregnancy. I'm not trying to turn this into a Mommy blog complaining about my stay at home life I'm just making the abnormal heard, so let's continue. My first ultrasound happened a little over a week after my last post and by that time, fatigue and nausea set in all I could do was lay in bed ( Didn't need to be cleaning puke off my keyboard) Okay, back to the ultrasound, my son, my fiance and myself waltz into the room and I pull up my shirt, on goes the gel and the tech places the wand right there just under my belly button. You'll never guess what we saw. Ye...
