Wild. Excited. Expressive. Fluid. Sexual. Full. Open. Exhale. Smile. Laugh out loud. Flowing. On fire. Beloved. Moist. Engaging. Powerful. Within myself. Free. Woman. Beautiful. Glowing. Magic. Whole. Accepting. Bold. Wise. Feeling deeply. Dark. Light.  Words that express my feelings that night as he took pictures of me under the moonlight. I was full of myself. Fully expressive of myself. Whole within myself. Joyful, playful as Goddess Bast led me to be. These moments keep me alive and well, happy and enjoying myself. Loving my life and sharing that love with others.  I dance my life for myself. I am whole. I am complete. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I dance the dark and the light, the conscious and the unconscious, the sane and the insane, and I speak from myself authentically, with total conviction, without regard for how I might look. All the parts of myself flow into the whole, all my divergent selves unite as one. I listen...

Currently ~ Following my pleasures. Pushing past the uncomfortable. Embracing this new day. Accepting my life as my greatest gift. Being still. Listening. Observing.  Big, beautiful smiles from within. "I can handle all experiences in my life." - My daily mantra. Satellite Call by Sara Bareilles  Being brave with my life. Accepting change. Writing fearlessly. Taking back my power. Remembering my goodness. Now, your turn. Where are you currently?  Where is the light?

...and beautiful palm trees everywhere. Life by the water is exactly what we needed. It's exactly what I needed. Our new beginnings starts here. The days are much warmer now. My cooler days, my cooler days are definitely past me. Getting use to the warm weather is something we better do fast. "Drink lots of water", is one of the remedies highly recommend by the locals and "get in the shade as much as you can", is another remedy we hear.  For now, I think I'll stick to drinking plenty of water, but being in the sun feels so damn good to me.  Plenty of sun and plenty water, water to drink, and lots and lots of water to swim in. That's my remedy. That's what I longed for. That's why I'm here.   Getting used to playgrounds that are covered with sand. Visiting and playing in the sand is one thing, living with it around you, near you, regularly, is another. They are in heaven.  Our daily views.  My heart...

Afraid of jumping in and letting go. Wanting to, but afraid. Still one foot on the shore while the other one already in. Jump, please, now. Go. Deep breath, deep breath again.  Feeling more certain now. Feeling excited and ready. Wait! What will happen? Will everything be different? What will remain the same? I want to know. I have to know. I must know before I jump in. But,  I won't know. I won't know until I do it, until I take that risk of not knowing but trusting. Okay. I'm ready.  Catch me, please. I'm ready. Don't let me drown, please. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. The most unpleasant moments in our lives involve change. Change that's unexpected and expected. One thing we cannot do is avoid it. We may ignore it, but that won't last.  I always feel the wind of change upon me. Sometimes I'm ready for it and other times I'm not. I see it coming and try my best to ignore it because my initial...

Say hello to my newest friend. I carry it with me wherever I go, thanks to Mommy's Club .  Do you use hand sanitizers? I use them all the time, especially on my kids. But little did I know the stuff I was using was alcohol based and was drying out my skin. On top of that it wasn't toxic-free so now I'm "cleaning" my hands with chemicals. Great. I stopped using it but couldn't find another that I liked and when you're on the go with your family these little babies come in handy.  Things I love about Perfect Touch: ~ Easy to carry around ~ Non-toxic (Huge plus) ~ Non-Alcohol ~ Doesn't dry out my skin ~ Has a faint scent that's barely noticeable. (A plus when I want my hands to smell like my lotion or oils I put on). I found Mommy's Club through The Mom Bloggers club. I've been a member of Mom Bloggers club since 2007 and I absolutely heart Jennifer James, the founder.  So, if you use hand sanit...

Journal entry 3 / 20 / 13 "Having second thoughts about opening up my space. I guess it's just fear or maybe it's been a long day or maybe it's nothing and I should just keep on going. I certainly like how the latter sounds so I'll go with that. But, it doesn't exclude any truth from having a long day, because I did. The minute I talk about letting people in I get nervous and start second guessing myself. I have a love / hate relationship with Facebook, with Twitter, and other social networks. They seem to mess with my peace of mind. This is one of the reasons I left in the first place. But, I missed blogging. One of the biggest downsides to being online was the constant battle to remain true to myself no matter which way the tide drifted. Sure, I want to run a successful blog but I don't want to compromise who I am and what is dear to me in order to be received.  This will definitely require me to walk by faith and believe that no matter what I ...

I was not prepared for that next 134 minutes of my life. I spent the entire time gripping and flinching in my seat. They say that it is history's most accurate account displayed in a movie of slavery in America. I say, it's one of the most heart-felt, gut wrenching, emotionally moving, engaging, movies I've ever seen so far. To this day I cannot bring myself to watch it again. But as I will soon and this time watch it with my older children. Excellent, excellent, movie. Have you seen 12 Years of Slave as yet ? What was your experience like?  And, oh my goodness, the actors and actresses, particularly Lupita Nyong'o and Chiwetel Ejiofor were simply amazing. The tears I shed for them were endless. Another thing I wasn't prepared for. Congratulations to Lupita Nyong'o for winning the Oscars 2014 Supporting Actress Academy Award and the film winning Best Film of the year. Well deserved.

Reading a good book is one of the things that brings happiness to my life. If you know me by now you know this about me. It brings me pleasure beyond measure.  Before I'm finished reading a book I always know which book I'm going to read next. I always have at least two to three lined up and ready to go. I used to try and read multiple books at once, but it never works for me. It's too much of a distraction and plus I like to give the book I'm reading my undivided attention.   I use Goodreads to keep myself organized and set my reading goals every year. This year my goal is only ten. I've already read Four. Someone may need to reconsider their goals, ya think? Are you on Goodreads ? If so, let's connect, shall we? Just click on the link ^^^ and it'll take you to my profile. I'm excited about some of the reads I have lined up this year because they are all books written by my friends online. These beautiful people I've either m...
