Power March 2021

Here we are ,three months into 2021. March madness, empower women and Irish coffee ; Spring coming about.

When you read this month's blog post , just know I have been a busy bee and this month's post slipped my mind. And I just finished my caramel coffee for lunch with bit of music playing in the background, I was dragging a bit and I forgot to make a cup of life this morning. Enough of me blabbing along, back to this post !

I can't even believe it we are in March already ! It still feels like we just had Christmas to me and yet again we are three months into 2021 and spring is right around the corner. How are you doing so far into this year ? I like to call this month the madness month of all months because normally there is so much happening in this month. Preparation for the up coming tax season like most people. Noticing that I haven't keeping up with my goal of the year usually happens as well then I get my little self in gear about those things. And course the ever changing weather season as well, snow one day then blue skies the next, the repeating cycle continues on until April.

I love this month altogether, the change the air minus the fact we are faced with the anniversary of this pandemic. I don't know about you , I can't for the world to feel like it's old self but by that being said change is good to , we are learning about our old ways if you know what I mean. I love that this month is about empowering women. I know we just had international woman's day , that's when this post was suppose to go up but as fate would have it , I am still writing it. I will say us a women lived lot of lives , we carry lot and sometimes we don't always get the full recognition every time in life. But on international women's day , I think about those who lead the way before my own time that we are still learning about the strength they had when others didn't. I think about the beautiful women that I know in my present time; the ones with children , the ones who work the hardest jobs and yet they are ones who show the most strength. The Women that I don't talk often with and when I hear about their achievements they inspire me every single day.

To the lovely ladies that I know; You are loved , you are beautiful in your messy attire and in your fancy attire to.

Another favorite thing about this month is of course St Patrick's day is just around the corner as well. The smell of the slower cooker of a roast filling the house, Cooked cabbage , fresh vegetables and baked potatoes in the oven. Maybe close the meal with a bit of Irish coffee , never had one before but I am looking forward to one. I just hope I don't forget to wear something green this time or the leprechauns will see me. And yes I will be baking my Andes mint green chocolate chip cookies! I think I finally figured out a good ratio between Andes bits to chocolate chips, we shall how this round goes. Of course I will be add a picture of two of the cookies if I remember before they are consumed by the clan of cookie monsters! And like every holiday that comes around I always look up the meaning of the holiday then just recipes to make. Like St.Partick's day is the day of remembrance of Saint Patrick during the fifth century who was captured but escaped and brought Christianity to Ireland as well. To honest with you , I don't remember being taught that in school back in the day just being told to wear green on March seventeen but I learned more information now by looking into the history a bit more.

Yes, it's been another day of me delaying this months post but just know I am working on this from my bed when there's another blizzard outside and I felt ill in the last twenty-four hours and I forgot to close out this mini post which let's be honest has now has to be a mini post for the delay. And if you are thinking my bodyguards are in their bed's you are wrong they have been at the bottom of my bed , not letting me leave my bed. By that being said I can't wait for spring weather to be upon us, light rain here and there. The gardens bloom more with fresh flowers, fresh herbs and fresh vegetables from mother nature. I am currently loving the long days again, I might be the only one in that group, I like getting more done in the day , to be being able to do more outside then in the house. And before this winter storm outside I did see some mint plants coming back already which is so exciting , that just means mint lemonade sooner .

What are you looking forward about this spring ? Let me know.

Time to close out this blog post out officially. This month already gone by fast to me, took a trip out to Redondo beach , discovered the perfect Salmon that I have been searching for since my first trip to San Francisco! I can even tell you how excited I was taste that flavor again and I highly recommend you try it at the Bluewater Grill by the beach, try it with the Mediterranean Sause. And believe me I couldn't stop talking about this Salmon since that sunset night. Oh if you are ever down there, you must try coffee cartel, worth every penny and then some; I promise you that ! I just finished Shelter Mountain by Robyn Carr, I am even more in love this series and it's characters to. I am going to write the book review for the book after this goes live so be on a look out for that. I do have Whispering Rock seating next to me and I am itching to dive in into that novel. I promise to share more stories with you.

As always,

Love

New Year 2021

Coming Back to Life

Happy new year, everyone! I hope your last night of 2020 to this morning was peaceful and relaxing. I know the end of the year is usually the loudest and buzziest night with parties around the world and the last night of 2020 wasn't the same as the others but this night was more of a break mentally for all of us and looking forward to 2021 with peace in mind and the possibility of a somewhat do over from the year prior.

Anyway we are in 2021 now, January first, the blank page of our 2021 novel. I hope it's all we wished for and then some. My wish for you all is to fall in love with life all over again minus how the world is currently.

Mini disclaimer: I am currently editing this and finish writing this up on Jan 16th, 2021 , so please excuse the lateness of this ( Is lateness a real word ?) P.s.... It is a real word, I looked it up!

The last few days I have been thinking about who I was on this exact day, last year . That day I couldn't have imagined the year to be what it was, looking back on those days three hundred and sixty-five days ago.

I was in love completely and in love with life it's self, the happiest I have been in a long time. But as life would have it unexpected things turn out instead that year. Feeling horrible most days , many nights full of tears than most people know and that's the honest truth. Days with doctor appointments and the most unexpected moments in history the world shut down and what seems to an never ending pandemic and we still don't know if the pandemic would end yet. Side note , I quit watching news lately , I only watch the good things that no one covers , we need more of the good in this world to be shared. I hope in 2021 that the particular vaccine will help more and we don't see a different type of the virus comes around. Well turns out I was wrong about different types of the current virus coming out... Losing my Nene this year was the most unexpected reality in my family, in my world . I wish we would go back in time and not lose a single person like her in the world , the way we all did. No one deserved to be sick like this and leave this world without their love ones next to them , it's just how I feel about it. Losing her was and is the void of something missing in my heart, in this world and I am sure most people can relate to that. I can easy say that 2020 changed everything from our ways of mundane life, our introspective about things and made our feels of love change as well. That's just my own personal opinion looking back on things in my own life.

Another thing I wanted to express to you all since October 2020 that I haven't expressed publicly I have been toying with the idea , going back and forth about erasing A Person misread completely. Some thought I was kidding, some said I should wait until I fully grieve and some people that never wanted me to even start this journey years ago ,have said ," Why would you even do that? ". And honestly right now , just typing this in here makes my eyes glossy and I guess I hoping someone would understand why I am adding this in. I haven't written any pieces in months, I haven't made any improvements on my blog platform nor have I really picked my camera with the same love for it as I once did. When did start to share something , to write I felt like why I am even doing this? And I get interrupted completely where I just don't even try anymore because No one will understand how I feel about it. I have talked to my friends, work friends, and family members about this in great lengths through texts, phone calls. It's always been more than numbers to me , more than likes, more than comments as well. My work has always been about connection, letting people in, sharing stories that people can relate to when they can't share their own story out loud but using my words to be their voice. An escape from everything in the world from five minutes to fifteen minutes as always been my goal. ( And fyi you would notice a few improvements did happen lately, I have been working on a new layout and more changes coming still )

To be Honest the passion completely left when my heart left is the only way I can explain it in a few words. My purpose that I felt was always my path in life was closed off to me, I could try to write but it was either a sad concept that had no happy ending in site, ( Which if you know my style of writing that's a rare from me to end on a sad note) or I was left staring a blank page physically on a paper which to those who are writers know what I am talking about emotionally. I couldn't even come up with a title even. And before I go any further , Thank you to everyone reading the post about me Nene, to those who shared it. And reaching so many hearts around this world and internationally as well . After all the years on this blog page , that piece has been my most view and the piece that couldn't rewrite that about her if I could minus all the errors in that piece. She always had the touch of touching hearts so every pair of eyes ,reading that one piece , made me full of love when I was hurting. Thank You! Originally I thought I could leave this all behind because of that piece because you all showed up for her and that was enough for me to walk away.

In conclusion instead of erasing A person Misread completely which that's what I was going to do New years day with this Post in fact in the draft before this. On my birthday and officially January 16th,2021; I decided to keep going, something in my heart is telling me , "There's more to do , to share . This journey isn't over, yet ". So I will keep A person misread for bit longer before I let this all go. Friends, family , you can all breathe and thank you for keeping my secret to yourself and the calls and texts convincing me to not stop and helping me open back my own heart again. I need those words , those reminders and the love as well.

Moving on to my usual pick of theme wish for this year, let's all not get to sappy into this beginning year of our book. Someone aske me what's my theme, resolution/ wish, word for 2021 this morning, the day of New Years Day . And honestly I usually have one a month before Christmas even happens. And a reason why this new year post is a bit late because I am still thinking about I want to put out in the world about it.

As I am staring at this for this Year's New year wish is for the world to heal, to have some what normalcy around the world with peace in mind. And Good things to happen to everyone, the unexpected miracles to happen and yes I still believe through all we have been through that miracles will happen. Angels are always watching over us and around us , so miracles do exists.

For my Resolution this year is to be have the success that I always wanted for my career that I started a long time ago, for my heath to be where it was and improve it even more, to help lift others in their success as well. I think we all deserve success right now, in every avenue, every aspect in our lives. To be remined that we deserve success even if it's not the biggest step in our lives but the small steps lead up to the biggest wins. I think we lost that last year and I hope by keeping that my resolution through out this year, it helps motivation you all as well. And a small secret of mine I always had a fear of success and I couldn't tell you why but that is all about to change.

My theme of 2021 is Heal ,being myself without holding myself back like I used to in all aspects in my life. To open my heart , let those in that need to be let in. To be the woman I was raised to be, the woman who fights, whom loves even harder. To the woman who smiles , who is sassy most days and laughs on the kitchen floor then hide herself from the world.

And lastly my word for this year is Freedom. Now if you are thinking why Freedom out of all things. Because when you close your heart, your mind and your soul off like I did, you forget what freedom feels like to just be yourself again. And if you been there before , you understand and if you are there now, there's love, light and blessings coming your way when you open back up. I feel it's a good word to pick for this timeframe because it feels like we are still trapped somewhat emotionally ,physically from the past year to right now in this present moment. We forgot how it feels to be free and peaceful in our hearts, minds and to go where we want, be with loves ones without a concern in mind. We all need to comeback to life after everything , we are here together. I hope you find your own freedom , whatever that means for you.

In closing I hope this post was worth the wait and it makes sense in the end , I spent hours to just make these eight minutes make sense. At least I didn't let this blogpost stay unfinished to long .. Just sixteen days past my deadline , hey it's a start to coming back to who I am. I hope your start to your new year is a beautiful one , you are happy , laughing and making things happen. And doing what you love at the end of each day, its not just work but your love for that work , that makes you challenged ,satisfied in your soul.

Let's go into this year heads up , goals in mind and make the plans we wanted to last year originally it will that much sweeter , to have coffee meetings in a coffee house, birthdays with family and friends without being six feet apart , without masks. Being able to travel without worrying about everything underneath the sun. Having the hugs we missed and kisses from love ones across lands, seas. Don't forget if you love someone right now and you haven't told them how you feel, tell them;

If you reached the ending of this post , Thank you for being here and I will be adding my birthday post like I do every year and I will add the link down below when I am done.

Love always,

December 2020 Christmas time

Well let me to be honest this blog post for Christmas, I have left blank for about a month and literally every time I attempted the post either something came up or I was to tired to even try. So there's my disclaimer in advance on why it's so late.

I am all cuddled up under my duvet on Christmas eve trying to figure out what to say about a closing post to the year, since this will be my final post of year. Christmas eve doesn't feel like Christmas eve for me this year. This day and evening felt like a Thursday with a tree in a corner and presents bursting from underneath it. And that Christmas tree took me three days to sort out to become the perfect display that's it's ever been in a very long time. And side note it only took me three days because I wasn't too into decorating this year but like magic the reds and gold ornaments were placed evenly for once. And everyone's special memories placed in perfectly around the tree like a mini time machine of moments if I say so myself. And watching my family place their ornaments is my favorite part of Christmas.

There was one special ornament add this morning on Christmas eve, the last and final one. A rose angel ,the rose angel was meant to go my Nene last Christmas and I forgot to give it to her, then I lost the bag to add to the forgetfulness of that year. But this rose red angel hold more meaning than what the original story behind the ornament in itself. It was like I was meant to find the missing bag of brought gifts from my trip to Christmas market in Cambria. I couldn't bring myself to place it on the Christmas tree. So I rewrapped that angel carefully as I could since she made of glass and placed the snowman gift bag in my father's hands and said," This for Nene from Nene".

I can tell you lately these days have been just days, things happen how they shouldn't have happened and I am sure everyone could agree that's how 2020 has been that way all together. But the single moment on this Christmas eve ,made the year a beautiful one for a second. Life paused.

I promise not to get to sappy anymore so smile because I am about to make you laugh a little. All December my only goal was to get one photo with three German shepherds in front of the tree ! Yes, lots of attempts later, I still don't have one with one with all of them in front of the tree. I have individual shots but nothing news worthy yet but I still have a few more days till the new year to get that perfect one. I have one of Max passed out in front of the tree because lets face it , no one tells Max what to do unless he wants to. One of Mason looking like a crying kid on Santa's lap and his eyes really big to! That was very funny and shortly after he knocked me down completely into my lap. So Mason is afraid of sparking Christmas trees in conclusion! And maverick wouldn't sit still if he heard something or one of the pups had a toy. At one point I got maverick and Mason together for one mano second.... then the ups guy showed up ,nonetheless to say he took off running and the photo shoot ended very quickly.

Again I have a few more chances for next years Christmas card, if I remember. I will add a few gallery shots of my process of the perfect picture of the three crazy bodyguards that are always on guard.

I think this would be the first year without a white Christmas and we didn't open presents on Christmas eve which has always been a tradition which feels weird but I know Santa will still come either way. Here's another funny Christmas mistake on my part. I had three ingredient recipe and I thought I was golden to make coconut raffaello balls ... well guess who brought the wrong coconut.... I discovered that upon mixing the milk wasn't soaking up the coconut well enough because it was moisten coconut flakes. Opos! Well so I quickly hid my said easy recipe in the refrigerator so if you all don't tell my secret ,Santa's will definitely bring some Christmas luck!

Well it's getting close to midnight here and typing this up on my phone with Twenty-Six percent left on my phone. I must to myself to actual sleep and prepare myself to open presents and make Christmas dinner with all the fixings.

But before I go , let me say Merry Christmas and Happy new years! I hope if you surround my family this holiday, take in every second that you can. If you aren't, I hope the WIFI is great and make lots of video calls around the world. Remember that you are loved, you are special and most of all things will get better, miracles happen. Christmas miracles happen when you at least expected. Just like seeing the Bethlehem star and no one seen the star on over 800 years! And that was a special moment to witness after discovering which way was southwest.

Ah okay now it's been thirty more minutes Santa should be here by midnight, I must get my shut eyes.

Love always, misread❤

I wanted to add this message on Christmas day, enjoying my coffee in hand and say even though this day doesn't see Christmassy as the others. We all have the best in life right now, we have family , we have friends , we have each other. We have the chance to enjoy the hours just being, no running around , no busy anything. Those hours and seconds we have today are the most cherished gift in life right now. We can't get back time if there's anything we learned this year together is we can't back time. So please take the time to be with yourself, with family, with friends by anyway you can today.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours!
