You Have A Great Heart
❤️
I am grateful for all the amazing people in my life. I had a heart to heart conversation with a friend tonight. It’s great to have someone who gets you and enjoys you. I always tell people in my life I appreciate them because I do. We are all loved and cared for...be sure to share it.
I Hold A Piece Of You In Me
Everyone you meet or met, everyone you love or loved, still has a piece of you in them and they have a piece of them in you. Even long after it’s over. Long after the lesson has been taught.
How amazing to know you can love and be loved. That you can be valued and of value. You aren’t forgotten and neither are they. So many time life steers you in different direction but to know that they have left a mark in you and you left a mark in them.
Heal Baby...All Of You!
I can explain my triggers. Down to the core. But those triggers will repeat until I fully heal. A lot of times we bury it. We don’t want to deal. At the surface we act fine. We don’t let that buried pain affect us. But then something happens. A word. A song. A memory. Is all it takes for the pain to resurface. When it resurfaces it can be ugly. At the moment you don’t know why you’re angry or sad but as it’s happening the brain is trying to understand the heart and the emotions.
I am not perfect. I have healings to still do. I have acted like some situations were fine and I was over them but then a word or song or memory reminded me I wasn’t. That I still had pain from situations that I had buried.
No one gets it what you’re feeling at that moment because they aren’t in your head or body. So when you are triggered have a safe word before reacting. Before saying something you don’t mean. Before taking actions. Try to take a break. Regroup. Refocus.
It’s ok to not be perfect. It’s ok to show your weak side. It’s ok to go in a room alone and cry or yell. What’s not ok is to take it out on someone. Forgive yourself. Forgive the people who brought you pain. Release and focus on healing.
I got your back 💜
Take Care Of Yourself!
I love Fall! I love the leaves changing. Going for walks. Being able to wear a light sweater with capris and flip flops. I think we all need to breathe in and out. Take a time out and do something nice for yourself.

Moms Hold Off On The Costumes
I so was this mom. I would talk to each kid and have them decide which costume they wanted and then they changed their mind up until the day of Halloween. What can I say. We all like to be prepared.
A Soul Is Powerful
Sometimes our heart and brain are not connected. As if they conflict. But your soul should lead you to where you should be. It’s our intuition, our true self.
It’s is also important to surround yourself with people who’s souls flow with yours. Where you can be you and happy and carefree.
Think of the people you know. When they walk in a room what do you feel inside. The good vibe people you can’t get enough of. The not so good vibes you’re on guard. Protect yourself. Our careful when you speak. Surround yourself more with people who are aligned with you.
National Daughters Day
Grateful for my three beauties. They really are the best versions of me and their father. They are all so different and unique in their own way. They made me a Mom. Best job I will ever have. As they get older it’s nice to see them change. To see them grow into an individual person. With hobbies and their personalities crack me up. I hope they appreciate all my hard work and efforts. It’s not easy but worth every moment.
Feel Good Song: Don’t Stop Believin’
I listen to music all day while working. Hasn’t been the best day for me and then this song comes on. I mean who can be upset while Journey is playing. All I can picture is every time this song came on and we partied or did karaoke. A flash flood of memories came out and all I could do was smile.
You have to understand life. It’s so fked up at times. It’s hard and good. People won’t always understand you or be able to give you what you need. Your emotions can get the best of you. Sometimes you don’t get closure. We chase a clock and all these responsibilities but end of day it’s how you love and live and make your heart happy.
Don’t stop believin’ 💗 You got this!
When You Find The Right One
There’s a sense of confusion at times. When two people are not on the same page. When someone gives a little more and the other takes a little more. It’s normal in every situation. Where you have to face realities verse fantasy. Where you must understand no one can make you happy. They are just an addition in your life. You can be happy with life and miss someone or hurt for someone and that’s ok. Doesn’t mean you’re not happy but I will give you one advice to never settle. Never settle ever. You are entitled to have someone make you feel like you’re amazing and the only person in the world and you too need to reciprocate to that person. If you don’t or they don’t stop wasting your energy on them.
Wednesday Vibe: It’s All In Your Head
💗
It was one of those mornings..
It was one of those mornings..
I woke up sad. Does that ever happen to you? When you heart hurts a little and you are like not today. I don’t want to feel this way today. Then somehow your mood shifts. You realize you have the power to control your thoughts. How you react.
You shift gears. You love yourself so much that you won’t allow any pain to affect you because it won’t make a difference if you do. People will still go on with their life. You still have responsibilities to face. You have to know that you can’t force things. You only have control over you.
So I sent a girlfriend a really cool event for us to go to Friday. I asked my mom to go for a walk. I shifted gears. Because at the end of the day who is going to take care of you? You are. So love yourself. Be happy. So what your heart hurts. Let it be. Still enjoy the things in life you can control. Which is your mind and emotions and how you react.
Look in the mirror and say...Appreciate You. Xo

Maybe It’s Simple Maybe Not
A friend said I was an open book. I said yeah try me. He went on to say how I just want a simple, good, gentle relationship.
Yep!
I went for a walk and told my mom and she said wow he is spot on. Why can’t I have that with my friend because well life isn’t meant to be that way. Life is about experiencing everything first before finding something that simple. Maybe I am not ready for it. Maybe I had it already with someone I lost it even though it was short lived.
All I know is we should be a priority. Someone should make us a priority and we make them ours too. We want to come first or close to first as possible. Kids always take center stage I agree. But we want someone’s heart to hurt and yearn for ours.
Every time I hear this song it hits something in me like I am sure it hits you all too.
Aim to live a simple, happy, gentle, good life. Aim to be with someone who loves you as much as you love them.
Happy Hour...
A break. From life or whatever or a need to get out and be around people. Whatever it is. Enjoy the breaks. Take the breaks and do whatever is needed to replenish your soul.

Harvest Festival Oct 5th and 6th
I love this vineyard. I went in March for a friend’s birthday. Was so much fun. They are open year round. Was a lot of fun then. Can only imagine how pretty it is in the Fall now.
Feel Good Song: So Much To Say
Last night I was speaking with a friend and I said I have so much to say to you. He said so say it. That’s when I started rambling. We are very similar so whenever I see a new food or activity or a similar song or a familiar face I automatically think I have to tell him.
It’s a bit bizarre. Like I am excited to share news with him. Things I think he would laugh at or enjoy eating as well. We don’t talk often but when we do we sure can talk about anything and everything. Normally it’s me rambling about a new place I have been or a new spot. We really are a great source of information to one another. We don’t see each other much. I do enjoy this person but for now will accept the friendship that we have.
Do you have these type of people in your life? The ones you get excited to share information with. The type that just get you and you just get them? It’s important to have.
Life Changes...Over and Over Again
Before you know it the pain changes. Love changes. Your life slowly gets better and easier.
Taco Tuesday...Don’t Be Alarmed I Am Only Here For The Tacos
I think I should start getting royalties because I promote Taco Tuesday so much. So much that it back fired on me this weekend.
So true story...
I met someone for coffee. Upon meeting he had an obvious sign of not being truthful. I called him out and he replied I understand but don’t be alarmed if you find me at Taco Tuesday. I am not there for you. I am
there for the tacos but please feel free to come by and say hello if you like.
Guess I will be going for pizza tonight instead of tacos to avoid this situation.
The journey of life...single...the humor...the stories...never telling anyone else about my Taco Tuesday Spot!

How To Really Eat A Spring Roll
If you knew this trick then you should have told me because I have been eating spring rolls wrong all along and let me tell you this amazing experience is amazing.
Normally I get the spring roll. Dunk it and wrap on lettuce. So tonight at dinner the waitress said did the guy who brought you the teach explain to you how to eat it. We said no but didn’t think anything of it until it was explained to us.
It came with lettuce, cilantro and basil. I have seen herbs on the dish before and thought nothing of it. Well...you’re suppose to eat it with the spring roll and lettuce.
I can’t explain the amazing, refreshing and mouthwatering experience it is.
You get the spring roll, herbs, wrap a lettuce leaf around it dunk it in nuoc Cham and enjoy the party in your mouth.
Love Yourself!
We have to focus on us. We always worry about others. Our families. Our kids. Our jobs. Our companions- if we have them. Stop. Stop all that. Who is taking care of you? Who is making sure you’re good and happy and healthy.
You need to!

Let Go Of Guilt
Any guilt you may have you have to let go of. Everyday is a new day to start over. To learn from past mistakes and improve. To be happier. To enjoy life. To know all these things happen to teach us something.
I had a friend I couldn’t understand why things were the way they were with us. Then it hit me. A situation occurred and it reminded me where their loyalty lies and I have to honor it and respect it.
Everything teaches you. Me. Us. Everyone.
Let go of what could have or should have been or would have been. It doesn’t matter. Today matters. This second matters.
