New Kid On the Block - Lady Mia

We recently rescued a new fur babe! An 8 month old Great Pyrenees. Her name is Mia and was sadly with a young couple who are getting divorced and also not taking care of their two new pups. Another family near where they live took in the other guy who was a mixed breed and very hyper. We knew about Mia as the original owners were neighbors to some of our family. They were taking care of her and trying to find her a good home. And here we all are now. She came home Sunday and yesterday I worked at home so I could keep an eye on everyone and how they were adjusting. They have adjusted OK, but she does have some food aggression, not bad, but she thinks it is all hers and doesn't want everyone else to eat it. lol

Today they are all home alone....hoping the house is still there when I get home and she has not chewed it all up. While in the shower she had managed to find one of Jes' socks and a bag of cough drops I had on the nightstand by the bed. PUPPY LIFE!

I will share more pics later and let you know how the house ends up when I get home later!

Be Blessed everyone!

Welcome 2018!

Sending everyone many blessings in 2018!!

I know many people had a rough 2017, I had some tough times too. We all hope 2018 brings better stuff than 2017 did. However, let us remember our focus, intentions, choices and reactions have a HUGE impact on what happens to us as well!

This year I am really trying to focus my intention in the AM to really get my day out to a loving start. I am ALWAYS up about 10 minutes past the time I should have gotten up, so rushed and late for work. Which honestly, I have accepted, mostly. I really am a night owl, it is the way it is and not a person who loves to be woken up. I woke nights and overnights for years, I love it and am so alive at night. But now I am a 9am-6pmer, which is OK I can sleep in super late, but does it really work?

So HOW do you manage to have a focused intention building morning when you are that person?! I have tried many things, but my will power for it just sucks you guys. I may revisit the Miracle Morning process, but shoot I can write it all down and say I will do it and give myself all these speeches. But then the AM comes and I am like NOPE NOT TODAY.

Any friendly advice welcome, and in the end, maybe I just have not figured out the right motivator for me, or I just am not getting enough sleep at night.

I mean I used to work 530 am until way too many hours into the night, and it burnt me out. But I don't do that anymore, so I cannot use that as an excuse and if I can get up and be at this job for someone else at 530 and work until 7 at night 5 days a week, IF I DID THAT, why the hell can I not do it for my self????

Blog Thoughts

Got some thoughts brewing, really motivated to get off my creative arse! Thinking do I keep pushing through using this blog, which I do love, it needs some improvements no doubt, and it would help if I was more consistent. But should I re work a whole lot or just focus on what I got, new address new blog or just refocus and keep going. I love the history here, but I do get bored with the lay out, the colors and just need some jazz. But maybe that jazz is just decent content, what a thought!

Winter Blues it Seems

I had hoped that doing the 31 days of Backgrounds would help me not have the winter blues this year. But it sadly has not, really, sort of. I have gotten WAY behind on them due to being sick and other things. I am being harder on myself than I should but still it sucks. I still plan to continue. I was a lot sicker than I had thought, I am still recovering, I am not 100 percent. I am not even sure I was 100 percent before! Since my husband lost his job we have no insurance and so I have no more migraine medicine, it is about 800 bucks for 12 pills, so cannot afford that. It has been worse than I thought so far and it is only January! I am again looking into natural remedies as well as trying to redo my diet to try and prevent them


ANYWAY on to better things, it is February! I have some art projects to work on. I have homework to do always, finals this Sunday, two major papers due and  then new classes on Monday!

BUT October is right around then I will be done! Pray for me!

What makes me happy!!! :}

I found this on a blogspot when I was surfing blogs last night through quilters bloggers. I wish I could tell you where, but I did not make a note of it so I am sorry I can not remember who to thank. But I wanted to make a post on my top 5 HAPPY things as well. I really needed this too since I have been stressing about work and why I am in this career and how I wish I had a different one etc. Let us not digress and go down that path and continue to what makes me happy! These are also not in an specific order :)



1)Music-I love music. And so many different styles! I love hearing new music to see if I can find new styles and artists who move me! I do not knwo what come over me but so much can just heal my could, or keep me sane, or uplift me. I just love it! Sometimes I really wish I had been gifted with a musical talent, but I was not. I accept that, I have other gifts. :D



2)Sewing/Quilting-I love creating and playing with color! I love how I can turn little pieces into something amasing! I love making quilts and scuh for others so they can cherish and love them! I love that maybe this will be left behind and continue on when I am gone. A bit of legacy maybe. But it is all so great! I love having this natural talent and having taught myself so much in the beginning and now moving forward to learn more and learn from others. I also look forward to pushing myself so that I too can teach what I know and have learned.

3)Learning/Reading-I love reading!!! I love sci-fi, horror, auto-biographies. I especially love vampire novels! Yes all well before Twilight, by the way! Thise are not the best set of novels i have ever read, but I digress. I write and journal so reading and learning comes so natural for me. I love writing, I always thought through high shcool that owuld be what I ended up doing, but life changes and moves around, and such. But I still write some poetry and ahve ideas and keep them all tucked away. :)

4)Action Movies-I do not know why, but a good darn action movie just does it for me. i enjoy the cinema anyway, and mot movies. But Bruce Willis kikcking butt and taking names, just makes me smile!!! :D

5)Chai Tea-I just love it! I am not a big fan of coffee or hot drinks in general. But chai tea, oh it is sooooooooooo good! I have usually been cherry coke girl, which I still love btw, but I think I need to do a chai tea fit for abit! I have been drinking it on the way to work to boost my spirit and keeping extra in my locker to make at work for those just in cae moments, which is most of the 12 hours I spend at work! :P

Thank you so much for letting me share this. It really has helped. There are many more things that do make me happy but these were the top 5 I came up with super quick and also the ones I need to include more of on a daily basis, especially on work days!!! :D
