Wanderlust

I thought I would share an Irish blessing in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day. I hope that you find nothing but happiness in all of your days. I hope you are rich in family and friends, and I hope your misfortunes turn into blessings. May God be with you and bless you; May you see your children’s children; May you be poor in misfortunes and rich in blessings; May you know nothing but happiness;…

As you know I started ski journey when I met My Valentine. Skiing is his passion, and I wanted to tag along on the airline ski weeks. They sounded amazing. Therefore, in January of 2019 when I was the young age of 42, he took me to Steamboat Springs. One of the ladies in our group took me on the bunny hill to give me the basics, and I picked it up. I skied three days that week and it was tough!…

I saw this quote the other day, and it rang true. Successful people in life aren’t truly special. They are more determined and work harder than most people want to. If you want to succeed, you need to put your heart and soul into your goal. Work hard when you are young so you can enjoy the benefits as you grow older. Life is short my friends. Strive for your goals. To be successful at anything,…

I saw this quote at the bottom of the 1440 News email that I receive on a daily basis. What a great quote. If you write for the public or in private, remember the best books, journals, or stories come from a place inside you, inside your heart. You write because you have to get it down. We write because we want our story heard. So, write my friends, write! The best books come from someplace…

Friendship. What does it mean to you? My Rock and I have amazing friends as I have stated time and time again. I am not sure why we are so lucky, but we are blessed with the best of friends from our childhood, college years, and adulthood. Even the new people we have met have become the best of friends. We are forever grateful for our amazing friendships. I am not sure what friendship means to…

We all need to take a step back and remember to pursue ourselves from time to time. Whatever path we are on, we need to make sure we are doing it as the healthiest and happiest version of ourselves. Are our dreams aligned with the best version of ourselves? If not, we need to refocus our priorities. If you don’t know what to pursue in life right now… pursue yourself. Pursue becoming the…

Although we may feel lost and broken at times, remember there is a way. And even if we are broken, we are still beautiful, unique human beings. Let’s lift our heads and find our way out of the darkness. A disco ball is hundreds of pieces of broken glass put together to make a magical ball of light. You are not broken. You are a DISCO BALL! ~ Taken from Facebook Photo by Greyson Joralemon on…

It’s almost Valentine’s Day. Remember we have one life to live so live it your way. Spend time with the friends and family who give you joy and don’t worry about the people who don’t enjoy you or like you. Let’s spread love this week and always. I guess the real. fact of the matter is, we don’t know what tomorrow is going to bring and the only thing we really have is right now. So, don’t stay…

We need to do something every day that makes us smile. Step out in the sunshine, go for a drive in the country, or listen to your favorite song. Whatever it is, take a moment each day to do something for yourself that will make you smile. Then take that smile and share it with others. Make someone smile every day, but never forget that you are someone too. While spreading happiness like…

If you know me then you know I absolutely love an automobile made by Volkswagen from 2007-2016 called the EOS. EOS means Goddess of the Dawn, which is one of the many reasons I think the car is cool. The car is a hard-top convertible with a sunroof that also opens. Many people ask me why do you need a convertible AND a sunroof. Well, if you never had both, you wouldn’t understand. But I need…

I love being around people who are all there to have a good time. I love not having to worry about what I say. When you are around people who aren’t uptight and don’t take offense to the little things, that’s how you know you’ve found the right people. Surround yourself with these people who make you comfortable enough to be you. I like when I don’t have to be careful with what I say. That’s…

I saw this post and it made me laugh. I do this all the time to my husband when we are out to eat. I love trying a variety of things at a restaurant, and I want him to share with me. Most of the time he rolls his eyes, but gives in, when I ask him if he wants to get two dishes and share them. Maturing in marriage is understanding that when she can’t decide between two meals at a restaurant, it’s…

Recently, I had a conversation with a girlfriend about marriage. She told me she wasn’t happy and that she and her husband were having trouble as many couples do. I always feel sad when people are not happy, and I want to figure out how to help them make it better. Life is too short, and I want everyone to enjoy this one shot that we have at it. I know life is not all sunshine and roses. Life is…

Sometimes it’s hard to realize this and sometimes hard to let go, but when someone has treated you disrespectfully, you no longer need that person. And if you decide to let them go, you don’t even have to have that final conversation with them. Life is too short to let others put you down or mistreat you for no reason. Be strong, my friends, and let those people go. Maturing is understanding…

I saw this post on Facebook the other day and had to repost it on my blog. Sometimes I think we wait too long. We wait for someone to invite us to the party. We wait for someone to go with us to the concert. We wait for someone to make us happy. We need to stop waiting and make things happen for ourselves. Take the trip, go to the concert, explore the world alone, and create your own…

A few months ago, My Prince had a three-day layover in England. He asked if I wanted to come over. Of course, I am a Yes, Woman so I said yes and made my way from Cleveland to London. Then I had to make my way to Cambridge via the train which was harder than I thought. I was so glad people there spoke English but with their heavy British accents it was hard to understand! My flight landed before…

I hope you are blessed with many gatherings of friends and family this holiday season. Any holiday is a good excuse to bring family together and be grateful for what we have. If you are celebrating today I want to wish you a Merry Christmas. I wish you all a wonderful holiday season and the happiest new year! “Holidays–any holiday–are such a great opportunity to focus on bringing the family…
