Who are you they say?

You are the inspiration in my life

You are my drive

You pick me back up when I'm down

You have my back no matter what

You have help when in need 

You can follow my every sentence

Take over and control if control is lost

My home is your home

backbone to backbone

heart to heart

blood is forever. 

Inside! :-)

Inside

Inside I am a happy soul; still learning, still growing that never stops.

Loving to LOVE

One who shouts out when I love someone no matter where I am or who can hear it, it doesn't make a difference I want my love to be known. I am not afraid or ashamed to love or of my love.

Love to SPEAK

Not afraid to say what's on my mind words make a difference, words can change the world.

Loving to LIVE

To live is to be alive, being you, being all of you and to never judge or let be judged. Who cares what others say. Be you and be proud. God made you and your special. Everyone was put on this earth for a reason and we all have a purpose.

Loving to CRY

Its ok to shed some tears, let it all out you will feel better and sometimes it even makes you stronger. Crying is not always a bad thing it can be tears of joy and happiness. Hating to be hurt but can't be avoided.

Loving to LAUGH

Enjoy the finer things in life. Don't be so serious. Joke a little, live with a since of humor.

Loving to LEARN 

Take all the knowledge you can get. The more you learn the more you know, being smart is not a bad thing. It’s a good thing and benefits you in so many ways. Your sources are right in front of you, "Grab them".

The Tree

The Tree

The trunk of a tree is the start of your life.

The branches are the different things you can explore and what you discover taking all avenues and opportunities arising.

The leaves are different things from learning and growing.

The height is how far you take your destiny.

How wide and tall will your tree grow?

You choose?

Children safety!

Children Safety. 

Each and every year our children grow. Each year is a new and gained experience of the child’s growth and personality. As a parent we always need to be engage with our children, and have a full understanding of there where bout’s and friends.  Keeping our children on the right track and out of danger or bad decisions pressed through per pressure is important. Always educate your children of the dangers of the world and the consequences of the reaction. Continue to “STAY AWARE”, of new products on the market that can harm or affect your child.  Be sure to check all labels on products and be aware of what it is. Just because it's on a shelf or from a doctor does not mean it's safe. We, and I stress "WE" have to be aware as the parent. 

Keeping and teaching the awareness for the safety of children. 

Stay proactive and engaged.

Understanding the Human Brain?

The human brain is powerful, controlling all aspect of our body. How well do you know your brain, your thoughts, and your control of your reactions from mood, choices and decisions? This is all involved with the Frontal lobe of the brain. What if you just found out yours was damaged. Now you feel undecided and lost.  So you're wondering if any of the decisions you have made in your life where really your choices or just by the moment. Is this something you can live with? Well first is understanding what caused the damage and how you’re day by day routine of how you are going to deal with the Frontal lobe injury? You are now going to go through the process of regaining the understanding of problem solving, language, motor function, initiation, sexual behavior, memory, judgment, spontaneity, impulse control and social behavior. Understanding the injury is the first thing. Following through with proper care for recovery is the second and for most important if wanting to get well.  Every injury has its own length and set goal for full recovery if the recovery is reversible and sustainable. Always explore all aspect of an injury and get second options.  Never give up there is hope. Even now a day our modern technology has provided us with more advanced procedures and has taken health to a higher level of education of prospects that we have ever imagined.

Halloween

Halloween 

Halloween comes just once a year

With ghost and goblins that give us a scare

To sweets, yummy treats, plus smelly feet’s

The reverberations of unstable ground

The chills of the good fun horror films

From Mike Myers to your scariest desires

From carving pumpkins to enjoying the bumpkins (kids)

Enjoy the one and final evening of light, and don't forget to say

“Trick or Treat and have a good fun safe night"

"Boo"

Keep on standing.

Keep on standing

God made me a girl for a reason. 

I love it, I live it, embrace it, I empower it. 

This girl gives it, it all,

 God gave me strength. 

God gave me courage. 

I will fight till the end.

 I will live till the end, and help till the end. 

The Unknown

THE UNKNOWN

The first thing I think about when I wake up is you.

The first thing I feel when I wake up is the memory of your touch.

Not a moment to dual but a moment so right but not real

Where are you, where did you go?

I need you; I need you more than ever now

Your warm embrace,

The touch and smile on your face

The kiss of an angel

It’s so surreal.

I know I love you why can’t I tell you.

Do you think of me love?

Do you love me unknown?

Motivation Speaks!

Today is the day you wake up, you go, you stand up for what you believe in and say" Today is going to be a good day". Enjoy life and have fun, laugh a little, cry a little, do whatever it is you want to do.Everyday is going to be the best day of my life because I'm going to live it like it was my LAST!

Get your Breakfast on!

Who likes to wake up and have a good Sunday breakfast, “I know I do”. I like a little of everything from eggs to hash browns and when I say hash browns I am referring to Country fried potatoes, the one's cut into cubes. These usually have flavor like pepper, garlic, butter, and green onion. Along with my breakfast I enjoy a good old fashion southern biscuits and gravy which I consider my famous biscuits and gravy, “Just That". When it comes to biscuits and gravy, that gravy needs to be “Just Right”. Just like Goldilocks and the three bears where she continues her journey until she gets just the things she needs meeting her satisfaction. This biscuits and gravy consist of milk, flower, pepper and butter.  It’s good to get a great start to your day with filling your belly with notorious food. Start your day right with a good hearty breakfast!

The Choice!

You wake up in a frantic state. You look around and you see you're alone. Everything appears quite but diplomatic. In this abode you have accommodations to what could be your destiny or could lead you somewhere you’re not certain you want to be. You explore all your possibilities. You overcome your fears. You way out the good and the bad, the benefits and perks of each route of your choice. You overlook your option and make your final decision but aRE having second thoughts. Then you realize your heart, your mind, and your gut says, “It’s the right one”. You look up and you say, “I'm ready”. Taking that next step to whatever it is in life can be nervous, but overcoming your fears is not scary it’s an adventure one that YOU'RE going to want to take. Take that leap you’re ready for that ride.

My Space!

My Space

So I look around and I see white. This white is like an image that is blank. It is up to me on what I want to fill it in with. My choices reflect me and everything around me so I must choose wisely. I want this space to be clean, friendly, fun, outgoing, be forgiving, be loving, be compassionate, devoted and divine. This space is full of adventure leading me to more opportunities. Leading me for room to grow, and maybe expand into a global thing but not sure of what. This space is full of things I like or want to start to like but no matter what is in this space and what I fill it with, “it represents me”.

I love my space and I love me.

The Blocker.

The Blocker.

The body says "Feed Me More" even though I know it's wrong, “What to do, what to do?

I feel the pain "please go away" I feel the urge “What to do, what to do?

Oh just one won't hurt, just one can take that pain away. “What to do, what to do?

But one can turn to two or three and maybe four. What to do, what to do?

This decision is inside me and eating me alive. What to do, what to do?

You have taken my body, my heart, my mind. What to do, what to do?

Well guess what you urge, you distraction, you frustration, you evil thing you.

You cannot have my body no more.

You cannot have my heart no more.

You cannot have my mind no more

I have chosen to let you go and take me back

I will not let you have my soul.

I'm in charge of me, and this me says "NO".

I have devoted in writing this poem because I have heard and seen people facing hard times and I am trying to help. 

Addiction can take control of you and I'm reaching out to those and saying it's never too late to get help or help others in need. Saving a life is worth it and everyone deserves a second chance.

I hope you enjoyed my poem.

Love to inspire others

A Touch of LOVE!

Love is like running water continuing to flow through the veins in our body. Bleeding out Love and spreading it around like a stain absorbing and sticking. It heals, it hurts, it’s fun. Love makes you live, you laugh, you cry, and you learn, but yet then you know you've lived.

The Benefits of Honey!

The wonderful benefits of honey are yet to surprise you from just taking in a teaspoon a day!

Honey is antibacterial. It provides the wonderful benefits of antioxidants, and flavonoids which can help to reduce heart disease and prevent cancer. It can be used as a treatment that can help disorders like gastroenteritis and ulcers. Honey can be known to decrease the irritation of the throat and a cough, which we all tend to get once in a while especially in the fall and winter season thanks to the weather changing. "This is interesting", Honey has also been known to increase the performance of athletics by helping to maintain the glycogen levels.  In older ages, athletes would take this and eat a fig right before their time of performance which supposedly increases their performance to be quicker. 

Other ways honey helps

1) Regulate blood sugar

2) Improving eyesight weight-loss, urinary tract disorders, nausea, asthma, and diarrhea.

3) Heal burns and wounds

4) Good for skin

5) Probiotic

What types of books catch the eye and what we want to read?

Everyone loves a good read. When it comes to books everyone has their selection they love to hear and read about. I myself love comedy and romance along with adventure, like Harry Potter, a well-known written book, as well as the Twilight saga. Books can take are mind into a whole new world of fun, adventure, and imagination. Sometimes even having us wonder if it could really happen. If proven by scientific theory then maybe it has happen this is what some people do for a living look into theories or mystery that could really be true. Encourage reading it’s good for all ages, children just beginning our getting the chance to explore a whole new light to the world of adventure, science and history of fiction, and non-fiction. For us adults it keeps our minds fresh and good for our health to keep that brain working, and could steer from getting dementia. It’s good to stay proactive keep that mind smart, and fresh. Pick up a book and open your mind to your next journey or adventure, history, science, horror whatever it is that is your favorite read or soon to be your favorite read.  Your adventure awaits!

What’s your favorite reads?

What’s your next book you're looking to read share your thoughts and options?

The joys of a baby!

To all those planning to have a baby! Don't feel like you have to set a time on things. There is no rush but don't wait too late women do have a time where with age it gets more risky. A physician can give all details of risk factors with age of giving birth to a child, but this should not steer you away. There is no set time of when a baby should come the cost is still going to be expensive "but totally worth it"! Babies bring so much joy, love and laughter into your life. There is nothing out there like having a baby so sweet, so joyful, and so full of life and watching this beautiful baby become a man or a woman one day and being so proud. From the first coo to the first word, then the first step to the amazing development of becoming a toddler to a young child, to a teen, then to an adult, all I can say is "wow".  Life is not only a gift it is a journey and in amazing one. The creation and development of the human being is the most amazing thing in the world.

This link below provides the amazing creation of a human being.

Why I joined blogger?

I joined blogger because I love to write. This is a fun way for me to pass by precious time, clear my mind, and enjoy something I have a passion for. I am such a fun loving person with a multitalented personality, and so full of life with lots to say. I always have things on my observance and so much to be doing as a mom, by the way "I just love being a mom". I am so empathetic, with a chary of words ready to come out. With so many subjects and ways to explore them” I wouldn't be the only one speaking out, but "Yup a piece of the action". Grasp words they mean so much and taken so many different ways. We all have something to say and I say, "Speak It".

Why we choose love?

Love is something to embrace, it comforts us and makes us feel warm inside. A lot of us do not like to be alone we enjoy the company of others. Love can be strange, wild, fun, compassionate, inspirational, and sometimes hurtful or sad but its all a gift that should not be taken for granted. Love can makes us conquer the world and show dedication and compassion.  Love makes us do a lot of things. Love can make use do crazy things to show how much we love someone or to make them feel special. Love is wonderful and makes us happy. The love of a child is unconditional; watching your child grow and face each challenge in life is fun, challenging, uplifting, and superior. I believe these are the best years of your life are raising and loving your child. Children are truly a blessing.

The love of a person can make us drive through hoops, and take leaps, conquer challenges together, grow together through good and tough times if its right it will last. No matter what kind of love you have it makes you happy through the good and the bad. I say live life with laughter make the best of a situation no matter the circumstances. Love is one of a kind and should be shared and appreciated.

Let love in, be loved, and give love.

Let’s us love

Share if you love someone let them know you love them life is too short.

What's healthy and hot for lunch that hits those taste buds and solve that hunger!

Looking for that filling, fun, yummy salad to eat with just a few calories "that's right I said a few calories”, and the taste is still appetizing. Here’s one, it’s called the BBQ style western salad. I first learned about this yummy salad by my mother-in-law Vickie. She is a wonderful person with a warm heart and knows her way around the kitchen. She thought me my basic skills in the kitchen when it comes to feeding your family and big portions. I just like spice in my life and many favors with Bold taste. When I take a taste of something I like to get that "POP" in my mouth that makes me say "Wow, now that's good eaten”. This salad is one of those things. It’s nutritious with lots of color and a variety flavor. In this delicious salad you have, sliced almonds, dried cranberries, orange and green pepper, feta cheese, BBQ chicken, spinach, peeled carrot slices, radish slices, tomato, equal portions of Balsamic vinaigrette and olive oil (ex 1/2 cup of each mixed in bowel), this is used as dressing. Have fun making this salad, "Bon Appetite".

Posting to help you enjoy good eaten.

Always tired me too! Whats your energizer?

Everyone is always running with work these days otherwise errands, or kids keeping you busy. Whatever is in that moment you're feeling tired, and you just need a pick-me-up, “as I call it". Some may say "Boost". I enjoy a nice coffee every day to get me started or to add some energy into my day. It's hard to wake up on your own these days without that sidekick, like caffeine, some sort of pill like B6, otherwise other natural energizers. Foods like Fruits and Veggies containing lots of natural vitamins, minerals and antioxidants help to give the body natural energy. Best nutrition to give you a lift without using caffeine in your diet our spinach, banana, red grapes, pear, and walnuts. Now if you mix these together and put it into a Nutri-blast recipe with a Nutri-Bullet, this will be your best bet. When I bought my Nutri-Bullet and started to enjoy the recipes, in the book that came with it. I noticed more energy in my life right away and I felt good and didn't have that caffeine let me down latter. You know how you can have a hangover from alcohol well it seems caffeine leaves a tired affect later or the body craving more but never satisfies your thirst. Then it may be hard to rest when you’re actually ready but the body is still winding from that entire caffeine intake. This is why natural energizer not only is better for the body but healthier and when you’re ready to go to bed so is your body.

Back to school

For all those moms out there looking for a jumpstart for the week.  Here's one, get a jumpstart to your kids lunches not only by choosing healthy snacks that's best for your kids to grow but fun ones like goldfish crackers or making funny shapes of the fruit, veggies or sandwiches. My kids love dinosaurs so i make their sandwiches in this shape. Then I freeze them in the freezer for the week (Only for peanut butter and jelly).  This gets the kids excited to eat healthy and have fun and laughter eating it. Pre-pack the launches for the week to make it easier on you. Bag up those grapes and carrots in snack bags and jump start your week. This also helps to save on cost by preparing your own lunches then buying pre-bagged snacks.
