10 Things that make me happy

it doesn’t really take much to bring a smile upon this lovely face of mine. So I decided to narrow this list down to the top 10 things that make my heart stop in happiness.

Lets get to it!

1. the moment my husband kisses me in his sleep. I don’t want to be too “lovey dovey” but from the first moment I laid my head on his chest I felt safe. He loves to sleep and falls asleep very quickly. I’m that person who stays up thinking about life and I just lay there in the dark in his arms. I guess he wakes up a little, realizes I am there and kisses my forehead ( I assume he thinks I’m asleep). God, I melt every time.
2. My Animals. I love to watch them play, sleep, eat, interact with others. I die a little bit every time my dog greets me at the door and when my cat gives me a head butt.
3. Helping others. Wether it’s helping a stranger with a door or a friend organize her room. It makes me feel like I’m doing something positive in the other persons life. Kind of the good Samaritan thing. I don’t know why I just feel so happy when I help.
4. The Color Purple. No not the movie, lol. The color is an ocean of deliciousness.
5. Being on an airplane. Going ANYWHERE. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do and I WISH i can do more often.
6. Being complimented. Lets be real. you know you love it too. I love when others notice a different hairstyle or the extra time i took doing my make up. The best compliment I get is about my eyes and or eyebrows.
7. My Sacred Space. I love my home and my room. It’s sacred to me and I love it when it’s exactly how I like it to be. if you are in it, I must like you.
8. Looking in the mirror. Hey its my list lol listen, I love myself physically and mentally i love who I have become. Every time I look into that mirror rather than pick at every defect I may have (which I don’t lol), I look at myself and enjoy it. I smile at myself. I admire every curve. I feel my skin and plant my feet into the ground. Its like if my heart opens to myself. Self love is so important but that’s another blog post.
9. Accomplishing something. Yes, I am all about reaching goals. I love to set my sight on something and I will not stop until its executed to the best of my abilities. I’m like that with my relationships, my finances, my hobbies, etc…
10. Making people laugh. I’m not a comedian. I’m not great at jokes but when it happens its magical. I really like seeing all those smiles. even if in that moment I don’t know how the hell it happened.

I could go on for a while longer but these are the first 10 to come to mind.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Communication with friends

Today I cried

At first, it was a brewing feeling in my gut. Then it moved into anger i can only compare to a bratty moment as a child. Then the mature side of me woke up and realized that I am not mad at anyone or sad, I’m having an intuitive moment. I’m separating a bond. The anger i felt stems from many separations that have happened in my life before.

When I was a child I felt that God  removed “bad” people from my life to protect this gift which causes this horrible feeling. Now that I am an adult, of course I ignore all warning signs, I proceed to try and bond with people. Then this starts to happen.  I feel as though the universe always punishes me for the ability to strongly connect to emotions, other people and myself. I am very strong willed, emotional and intuitive. Sometimes I’m described as intense (lol that just means I’m opinionated). I can feel things coming, I alert people. Today this feeling is about me, I need to face it and unfortunately its bad this time.

I know I shouldn’t bond with anyone, I am too much of an honest and blunt person but I love, loving others and giving as much of my mind/emotions to them. its who I am. So in order to stop doing this to myself because last time this happened it was devastating. I will remove all these bonds before the universe does. I always use the term go with the flow which I never apply to my life. The universe obviously is telling me something and I now choose to go with it. I can no longer feel like a revolving door of amazingness. I am a good person with an amazing gift of love not a burden.

The end.

Journeys

This was tucked away in my drafts since January 2014, I think its time to publish… 

I know by the title of this blog entry one might think “oh she is going to talk about traveling to Europe or a spontaneous road trip”
Well, no.
I’m not going to bullshit you, im just going to tell you about my day.
It’s amazing how I stayed home all day today and at the same time I traveled to the farthest places.
My brother was getting out of his car this morning and as he stepped out he didn’t realize he had his phone on his lap, crack. Shattered phone screen feel like shattered dreams. So he asked for my rescue knowing I had an extra phone tucked away somewhere. I agreed to look for it because I needed to do some spring cleaning anyway. As I started to sort out my documents. Rummage through awesome pictures for tbt and others that should be burned, then pour acid on the ashes (jk destroying pictures should be a crime).
In the depths of my closet, in a corner tucked away was a bright blue carry on luggage. As I write this post, I say to myself that I should have never opened that blue box. Of course, like always, I do it anyway. The front pocket was the home of all my old cell phones. Victory!  Did I stop there you ask? No of course not. After a short victory dance I proceed to check all the outside pockets to see if I can anymore lost treasures. Big zipper time. As soon as I peel open that zipper I remembered the day I packed this luggage. I went back to last year 2013 in May. I was moving out of my favorite town house. It was a dark time for me and my family. My eldest brother’s birthday. I know you’re thinking “oh, but birthdays are fun!” No they are not. Stop lieing to yourself lol yes they are fun but not this one. My brother didn’t make it to see that birthday. It was devastating because was going to be 47. Not only was he way too young to move on, he was one of those people who you could really talk to about life. He was a sensational debater. He had a lot to say. He always challenged me to think beyond my own emotional limitations and view facts. No one can make me do that. Just him. I didn’t always agree with it, I like to view life as a beautiful one, use my heart as well as my mind for decisions. I believe the more you use your heart the stronger it’s gets, so when it breaks it heals faster because it exercised constantly. You know, kind of like lumosity for the heart. I like to think his passion for politics and debate stemed from believing from his heart that the world can change my moving their hearts with facts we had right in front of us.

I loved him very much and need him everyday for the rest of my life. Through my little blue carry-on I revisited places that made me full happiness and others that consumed my being in sorrow.

—– That’s all I wrote, hope you enjoyed this very belated post!

Grieving is extremely difficult and different for everyone. Please feel free to comment or ask me anything on this subject below.

Style Crush: Miranda Kerr

Can we take a minute to just look at and admire one of my style crushes, Miranda Kerr. Le sigh. She has a very street savvy style. She puts together chic pieces and smoothes it out with either a cute pair of ankle booties or milkmaid braids. I love her poise and effortless look. Not to mention her brow game is always on point. Please comment below and let me know what you think about her style.

 

 

 

10 Things I Suck At…

At first I was reluctant to do this list because I’m pretty much good at most things. However, it doesn’t mean I don’t suck at others.

– Using my left hand. Its pointless to even try.

– Putting on fake lashes. On others perfection, on myself disaster.

– Sleeping. Im not good at it. Its forced and uncomfortable.

– Not giving my opinion. Sometimes I hate that I open my mouth. Some people don’t deserve honesty and kindness.

– Sticking to hobby. Zero attention span.

– Packing a shisha bowl. Its too full, too loose, or just wierd. I always end having to call my friend to guide me in fixing it.

– Being spontaneous. Its really hard for me. I plan everything. The closest to spontaneous for me is going to Walmart without a shopping list.

– Flossing. I always feel like I am doing something wrong. I’ve considered youtubing it.

– Walking by my bed without stubbing my toe.

– Taking bad news. Who doesn’t suck at that?

– Slang. It just doesn’t work for me.

Wait is that 10?

It’s 11…

12 with counting.

You see, even I suck at a few things.  No ones perfect and there is someone who loves you the way you are.

finally.

I have been asked time and time again “why don’t you have a blog?”. I would always respond by making excuses secretly desiring to enter the world of online bean spilling. So many thoughts and ideas can no longer be locked away. Expect to read from me soon! Xoxo
