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...

Rome

 Has this always been a cafe?

I can see the memory of robes strolling past, people in deep conversations enjoying the sunshine and preparing for their day.

The giant columns somehow make me feel at home.  I watch some teenagers laughing near the doorway to the shop across the street.

Moments where I am seen and unseen help me relax into my first solo trip to Rome.

I sit here and the warm breeze clashes with my tea and I wish I had ordered something cool to drink.

No matter, I'm in the shade and will be for a while.  I'll just lean back and people-watch.  God, this language is beautiful!! How have I not started lessons yet! I am here and can totally see myself not going home.  This is home now.

I have to force myself not to get lost in imagining my life in some fabulous little villa in the rolling hills nearby.  From one of the bedroom windows, I can see this cafe in the distance.  I could plan my visits into town from that window.  

Another sip of my very hot tea and I am brought back to the present.  

I decide I will sit here for as long as I wish.  Considering there is nowhere I have to be today since my trip to the beach isn't until tomorrow.

A couple hours later, my eyelids start to feel heavy and I realize I get to go to my room and take a nap.  I have a sunroom and all the windows are open.  I'll lay in the chaise there and dream before dinner.

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...

Snow

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...
