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.

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.

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!

Feel Good Song: Sweetness

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.

September 23rd You Are On Your Right Path

We Need People As Much As They Need You

In my journey I have realized everyone I had in my life was because I needed them and they needed me. Some still are in my life. Some are not. But when I reflect their scars and mine all needed healing and even if your heart hurts for someone they did help heal a part of you. 

Be grateful. We all have scars. Some visible. Some are not. Do know we all help each other. It’s the process of life. To know that at the time you needed him and he needed you. 

The goal is to not give someone pain. To not cause damage. To give love. To be with someone who helps you enjoy life and have a happy heart. 

Check Yourself...Now Be What You Needed

Every time you react a wound is triggered. Be sure to tap in to understand what part of you needs healing. 

I have work to do too. We all do. Heal yourself to live a simple, happy, calm and peaceful life.

Beach House Goals

It’s always good to make a goal. This is one of mine. To be able to have a beach house. Wake up and hang by the ocean. Paint. Write. Relax. 

Nothing huge. Just a cute little cape on Cape Cod. A place where I can get away with a companion, my kids, family, friends. A peaceful getaway. 

What goals have you set for yourself?

Don’t Confuse Your Pain or Their Pain

You meet a ton of people and if you’re intuitive you can sense something with them. A lot of times it’s their pain. You always wonder “who broke your heart?” But then someone said something to me that really had me thinking. 

Not all heart break is romantic and guess what it’s true. Some damages we have our not from a companion. Some are from your up bringing or losing someone close to you. Sometimes it’s a missed career opportunity or when life makes a turn in your path. 

We all have healing to do. We all have stuff in us that is hard to process and has affected us so much. Some things we don’t need to fix. Some our just in us. Some become part of us. Make us who we are. 

The journey is to help others and that will help us. When we connect with others we connect with ourselves. 

21 Years Of Friendship...

When you’re friends for this long you always manage to have a good time together. We met in college freshman year. We lived on the same floor. We all then roomed together for three years. We have this special bond. The type that we pick up where we left off when we get together. We picked a spot we could hang that was in between where we all live.  I swear I never laughed so hard and was pretty impressed with how much we could hang. There’s something about having people in your life who are just easy to be around.

We checked out three awesome clubs and popped into karaoke night. We ended the night eating Bobby Flay’s burgers topped with potato chips. We found a new awesome lounge that made you feel like you were under the stars while dancing. 

I haven’t been to a club in so long my friend said. While we waited for the beat to drop this Smokey substance hit the dance floor for a good 5-8 seconds you’re in a cloud cluster. It was so much fun. Welcome back to clubbing I said to her as we laugh hysterical coming out of a cloud of smoke. I could dance every night to this type of music. It’s like in the moment of music filling your body you let go of all the stress in your life. In that moment you’re free and it just does something to me. It’s very therapeutic. 

The DJ was an Alien Theme so these blown up aliens are all over this one club. Was pretty fun and entertaining. 

I don’t gamble much. End of night I said I am going to throw in a $20. Up and down I go. After 15 mins I hit a pot and don’t even know what it is. Up $80 I go and cash out. 

We couldn’t go to bed without hanging by the fire pit  first. So relaxing. 

Girls night away are always the best and a must. We woke up and could not move our legs. The sign of a great night! 

Relationship Goals

What Or Who Are You Holding On To?

I get it I do. But when you don’t have control over a situation you have no choice but to move on. Explore life and see what else is meant for you. The pain stays with you. The love doesn’t go away. It just gets easier everyday. 

It’s funny how our brain and heart can have a disconnect. Like my heart wants something but my brain knows it can’t happen. Yet the pain you feel inside just keeps happening. You can be mentally happy yet your heart makes you cry. I never really experienced it before. I don’t understand it but am trying to process it.

To be A Kid Again...

It was their first sleep over with a friend for both of them. I love their friendship. Sweet and kind and good kids together. I of course felt like a cool mom which my 10 yr old new thing is to remind me I am not but hey that’s part of the experience right?

They stayed up late. Woke up too early. Watched movies and played games. Ate junk food. Brought back so many memories. When life was simple. 

Bring life back to being simple. You can too. Easy. Simple. Fun. Yeah adulting and parenting is hard but also can be fun and amazing.

This Type Of Relationship

It’s not just physical or mental. It’s your souls connecting. It matters. It’s like a magic force that pulls you two back in. Looking in their soul even when you’re not trying to. 

That type of connection and relationship is very powerful.
