A Year Ago: 'I was not aware until recently.  I did not know this music existed and I am sad for the time I missed and simultaneously glad for being here now. I'm not going to provide details of this band.  If you are interested please go ahead and search for that information yourself.  If you care, it may bring a smile.   I love the music I have heard from this band so far. Literally, everything makes me smile and feel an uplifted kind f joy that I do not feel often with just music.  Normally there has to be some sort of memory already attached to a song but this album I've been listening to today is phenomenal.  'right out tha gate.' DECIDE. Such a great word.  Yes, there are innumerable possibilities in this world.  Possibilities of the life you could live, the path you could take to lead you, hopefully, to heights of success and happiness you can't even imagine.  But, the thing is, you have to decide.  You can't let yourself sit...

2021

 It just hit me

I just read about something new coming in 2021 and at first, I felt like I always do when I read that phrase

'coming in 2021'.  That's SO far away.  

But, today it hit me, 


2021 starts in less than 50 days.


All this time, this whole year, I think I've been waiting for 2020 to start.  The pandemic, the stress of lockdown, losing family to Covid, dealing with job loss and being unable to live the way I am used to makes me feel like I've been put on hold.  The year never really got started for me and, I fear, you either.


So, what to do about it?


well, all there is to do is keep moving forward.  I wake each day thankful for the sun or the rain or the wind as it expresses itself outside my window.  I am thankful for my Lola and my family and everyone I love and those they love and on and on.  I start my days with a long list of items I must accomplish as I create the life I've always dreamed of and rest my head on my pillow at night ready to get at that list again on another day, luck willing.



I keep reminding myself, every day, I chose this life.  I chose the start, the happinesses, the pain, the stress, twists and turns.  Before I landed here on Earth, I knew everything I would need to learn and what I would use that knowledge for.  I learned whom I would love and how much that love would mean, how much pain it would cause.  All of the difficulties, beautiful moments and sparkling eyes spread before my eyes like a movie and I chose it knowing I would remember none of what I just watched.  


What a joy it is to live and to know, when it is over and I am dead and it is time for me to meet 'who I could have been' I will meet myself.

Space Is The Place - Men I Trust

Interesting things are afoot. Space Is The Place - Men I Trust                                                                    Video by  Andreas  from  Pixabay   I finally set up my desk to do desk things instead of jewelry things and it is an interesting afternoon to say the VERY least.   Time and time again I will reiterate to myself and to YOU.  The best way to stream of thought your cares and worries away, the best and most wonderful way to find your typing rhythm and, simultaneously, enjoy yourself so much that the sides of your mouth curl into a smile…one…at…a…time…is to type with beautiful music playing directly and clearly into your ear.  Mood lighting, a cool fan breeze, light thunder outside, and a pretty little glowing candle are not necessar...

I want to rent a small, warm cabin near woods in the middle of a super snowy winter place.  I want all the wood I could need to already be cut and I will plan for and purchase the food needed to stay there for 2-3 months.  I want to be there alone with a dog or two and all the jewelry supplies I have plus a few more purchases.  I also will need electricity to listen to books, music, and movies.  Wifi for sure but not for communication.  I have always wanted this.  Some sort of cabin alone with dogs for cuddling and security.  It reads like I am, more and more, retreating from the world but I don't feel like that's what's happening.  At least it's not the desired end result. There's a whole world that doesn't yet exist because I haven't created it and I need A LOT of space to get it going.  I'll have to give it love and attention so it can become an extension of me but not me. I wonder sometimes if people love me because of the memories they h...

WTF...Oh Right

It gets harder to stay focused every day.  I create and create.  I photograph, edit and post.  I research SEO and trends then remember 'my people will find me' is the motto I'm working with.  My fear tries really hard to take over and make me focus on how much money I'm NOT making because NO ONE is buying what I'm selling.  I even think this post is too close to giving up. One thing I know for sure is I have been successful at finding who TF I am.  I came to Florida to be with family... my brother has known me his entire life.  He knew me before life changed me and so it is easy to just 'be' here.  There are a couple other places/people I can do this in/with but this was the cheapest to move to. No make-up, a basic uniform of clothing to wear each day, no decisions to make, clean hair and skin.  Sleep and eat as well as I can, sweat often, stretch and exercise, and feel all of it.  Affirmations in the morning and at night, face yoga, I'm...
