How I enjoy weather and consider myself a "Lizard" now days since moving to fl in 2008 and how this week the temps that we've been getting remind of sometimes in Maine

My lens for reading — especially when it comes to “self-improvement” or recommended reading — is colored by efficiency, ROI, and long-term growth. Books are investments: in knowledge, perspective, and personal capital. So when someone curates a list of books she finds valuable, I treat that list as a curated portfolio of ideas.

There’s a particular kind of joy that comes from giving a handmade gift—something crafted with intention, usefulness, and a bit of seasonal charm. This Christmas, leaning into pretty-yet-practical gifts allows you to elevate everyday items into small luxuries.

As winter settles in—softly for some, bitterly for others—our kitchens and bookshelves become refuges. We reach for stories that swell the heart, dishes that warm the hands, and a mood that turns ordinary evenings into rituals. Here are five book-and-dinner pairings designed for slow nights, cold weather, and the perennial pleasure of getting lost.

This celebration is all about pure kid joy: a colorful piñata packed with sweet surprises, cheerful music, playful games, and lots of giggles. From the moment the kids arrive, they’ll be swept into a party atmosphere bursting with energy, excitement, and just the right amount of chaos (the fun kind!).

What its like being a mom and feeling the struggles of not doing good enough and having mom guilt. What its like to feel alone because its frowned upon for a mom to complain.

After settling in to our new home, it wasn't long till my mom caught wind her siblings were reaching out. After being split up in the system. One moved into our back yard. It was then my childhood seamed so bleek. Nothing happened other then he was told to leave. But therapy or taking care of my trauma never took place. My parents at the time we're dealing with the wrong problems and my step dad ended up going to rehab. My mom met a woman who is partner was also in the reman. One night I was asked to babysit for 6 year old son or aware that she had a 16 year old son until late at night. On the way home I'm asked why I was so quiet my reply I'm tired. Scared I get in trouble but then finding out that I did nothing wrong it was then I asked to go and see my dad in Nova Scotia. Understanding that he had to support the house he's never seemed to be able to find time off work. And his assumption that I had become active he put me on Depo. Into my sister came out suddenly work wasn't busy.🤬

This post is my experience with postpartum mental health and how you treat yourself is how you'll feel. Caring for yourself should always be a priority.

This is my introduction to my blog page. This is where I came from, and how I got to where I am now.

The first four months of a new baby are some of the hardest months I've ever done. Between losing your help to feeling alone you go through a lot

Growing up was simple, until the new stepmother arrived. I was a carefree kid, who loved playing and having fun. Then my father brought a women home, a woman who loathed all but one of her step children.

A vision board is more than a collection of images it's a quiet declaration of hope. As a new year begins, gathering words, colors, and symbols that reflect what you want to become brings clarity to your intentions. Each image serves as a gentle reminder that growth begins with vision, and that the future can be shaped one inspired choice at a time.

I been going through a lot mentally with someone and I have tried to explain this to them but I can’t seem to get the words out. I hope you enjoy the emotion

This blog has main description of me travelling to different country and how I felt about it and how things fall into the places. It tells about me leaving and landing at another place across sea and I am thrilled but I want to crawl back to my home. But it is a mature decision not to do so!

Today is Day 1 for me, I will no longer say one day. It's a never ending loop and battle trying to make excuses well I can't today I got to......bull, it's past big girl pants time!! Unfortunately, some of us were sheltered and protected from the cruel world and it's messiness; so then when we are left to our own devices we do tend to fall into our parents patterns, habits we pick up from trying to cope or numb pains. Everyone has their own vice, I choose from here forward to use my words and truths to be my voice and set precedent for my future! I choose happiness and peace! I choose growth and innerstanding! I choose to be grateful for this life's experiences, lessons, growth, truth, love, kindness and clarity!! I am open and ready to receive and and all new and true knowledge sent my way! I offer advice, self help, tips and shared knowledge for anyone that would like to engage! Unconditional Love is Always the Answer, In All Ways!

I was loved and then left, used and then forgotten, moving forward with whatever pieces I had left of myself. It took losing so much to understand how cruel the world can be—how easily people take from you and walk away as if you were never there. But somewhere between breaking and becoming, I found a touch that didn’t hurt, a presence that didn’t use me, a moment that finally saved me. And for the first time, I wasn’t surviving for someone—I was choosing myself.
