Thoughts for the day

In this world of "likes" we forget to "like" ourselves. We lose ourselves to the "oh, i have to check my post and see who liked it", "oh, i have to check my post and see how many people liked it". We lose our focus on what is real. We lose our focus on what is happening around us. We lose our focus on actual conversations with people. We rely on social media to provide us with love, acceptance, recognition, news, trends, food and much more. Please understand, I am NOT bashing as that would make me a hypocrite of which I am NOT. I am involved in many aspects of social media. I am simply stating an observation of mine. We get caught up in the narcissism of others. We tend to forget that there is a little narcissism in all of us and that cannot be denied, otherwise we would not buy into it. Again, I am not bashing because I AM guilty of participation. And I enjoy it. So, just making a statement since I see so much go wrong within it but I do also see so much go right within it. It is sad to see people pass judgement on others, relationships become strained, communication disappear, bickering, name calling, bashing and all around negativity. But on the other hand it is great to see diversity being embraced, people promoting their talents, people promoting community events, supporting local businesses. All of this is so much easier within the structure of social media and for those things I am proud to see and proud to partake. We should really be promoting positive and unity and community and family through it. These are my random thoughts. Thanks for hearing me out. Peace, love and happiness always!

Strength and Beginnings

I will begin by adding a lovely poem that I recently wrote. This prose speaks to me in so many ways. I want to share it so that someone else may feel pride in strength and finding their voice. I will change things up every week as I get more into the multiple levels of fun that this blog will show you. I have many things that entertain me and regular living is very entertaining indeed. I hope that you enjoy this one. Thanks for looking! Peace, Love and Happiness...always


What signifies strength?
What do I see?
Strong is the woman
The woman who endures a trauma
That embedded itself deep into her mind
That infected her soul
Damaged her heart
Strong is the woman
Slowly beginning to find her self
Looking past the pain
Strong is the woman
Who values her self
Strong is the woman
Who stands up for her self
Who finds her voice
Strong is the woman
Who repairs herself
Who embraces herself
Who is beginning to love herself
Strong is the woman who lifts herself up
Strong is the woman who empowers herself
