Hearts , Love and the kitchen sink

February the month of love, dovely things and some being remined about their single love life.


Yes, I know I am a bit late with post but it's not Valentines yet so this would be a combination of this valentines and the usual monthly post.

So lets pretend it's February first, shhh! I am listening to a new song that I have been playing on repeat ever since it came on this morning during my shower. It's something about the words that made me stop and listen while getting lost for a bit under the cascading hot water. The song is under my skin by Nate Smith I recommend you listen it for a moment something about his tone that I started to write a story about it in my head since then. Just finished my second cup of coffee on today and I thought it was time to get this blog post up before it was too late.

But saying that, sometimes being late is better then never showing up in the first place. I think that kind of complies to love as well. Here me out, saying that I think about the stories of a lost love ; the ones we hear about over history , lost love letters that people send to their loves of their lives but they never heard from them again or the person never received the letter at all. They searched for them for weeks, years but they lost hope and went on with their lives then later in life they found each other again, the lost loves as fate would have it. They still showed up for each other just took a while to find each other again five years later or twenty- five years later. I think that's a beautiful way of a love story.


I learned some other important days in this this February love month. Rose day is on the seventh. Propose day is the eighth, Chocolate day is the ninth. Teddy day is on the tenth , Promise day is the eleventh. Hug day on the twelfth , kiss day is the same day as galantines day. Isn't that interesting , I honestly Knew that each day of that week leading up to Valentines day. I think promise day is my favorite day out of all of them, what a cute day for everyone. A day of promise sounds like a beautiful day to spend with someone, to treat someone more than Valentines day. Knowing those days now , I can already plan out a story just with those days in mind and funny enough I already have a little title in mind as well.

As for Galantines day which is the day I am posting this on, is my favorite day because a bunch of ladies would get together for a cup of coffee/tea just be with each other nothing fancy. Or over the years it turned into mini cheesecakes for each one of sweet ladies from the local German bakery. I can literally taste my favorite one on my tongue, the chocolate chip cheesecake. Seating out on the desk in the heart of the town where we all grew up in. Looking at us now imagining the stories, the laughs we had and now some us have families, got the dream jobs we wished for. I think how lucky we are know to know each other through thick and thin , through sadness and in our happiest moments , we held each other up regardless in hand and hand. Happy Galantines day lovelies!

I wanted to share a few more things with you all. If you have been search of the perfect love story novel to read this month. I have my top five I can think of and I have reviewed some of them on book review page on here. Two of my favorite Nicholas Sparks books of all time made it to my list not only in the top two places. One Every Breath is by far my favorite story and it's a true story which I love the most . Two The Notebook , I think its just a classic love story but its a story about an enduring love story through it all . Virgin River by Robyn Carr was my one of favorite novels from last years reading list. I love it because the level of pain each person had in their past made them beautiful people to find love in the end but with trials still together. Next one is Me before You by Jojo Moyes another story started with a tragic beginning but through out the novel the tender love between two that shouldn't fallen in love with each other is beyond beautiful. And lastly It would be of course one for the Money by Janet Evanvoich. Because she knows how to make a girl laugh when we shouldn't be laughing and so much wit in a love story that suspense and mystery that makes a perfect romance novel.




About the kitchen sink part of this blog post... I have been a single woman for most of life when it comes this holiday , I think how special it to single during valentines week. By saying that you are thinking , yeah right. Well I treat it like every other week but I date myself for the week. Buying myself a coffee out and with the restrictions now days, what changed is I couldn't seat in the coffee shop and see all the couples treating each other with just knowing simply someone's coffee order. And side note if you haven't tried the pistachio Latte with Oat milk , I would highly recommend you do ; It tastes like Ice cream ! During Valentines week or on the day of I would sneaky buy roses for people that I know just to bright their day leaving them on their front Porsches wrapped with tissue paper and a little note attached. I believe that everyone needs a bit a love if you are coupled or not, a little bit love goes a long way regardless of the holiday to make it special. Loved buying the roses for my next-door neighbor's wife because he couldn't get to town all the time so I thoroughly enjoyed picking up her's the most because she never knew how he did it each year.


One last thing I wanted to share a thing I do for myself each year, I pick out a romantic card or two. I don't know why I even do it sometimes but when it comes to it I am an old romantic at heart. If I find one that makes me happy , again sometimes it's two; I bring them home. Last year if you remember I wrote a love story based on a particular I found in a store. One my favorite stories I have written , If I find the link I will add it. So in the end , I guess if I ever find the one , he would have lots of greeting cards from me. So I confessed my little secret , does anyone else do that ? Or am I just weird in that way? Let me know in the comments!

I must get myself going, I must make some yummy sugar cookies!

To end this monthly blogpost and to your all your lovelies I want to wish you all Happy valentines and Galantines and Happy February.

 

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,

Falling In Love Around the corner Sept 2020



Hi again and another month later in this 2020. Let me get this out of the way "Woah" , What are these days are looking like lately?

Things are either filled with sad news or the restrictions of normal life would be are changing nonstop. Let's take things indifferent direction in this post.

I am currently writing this the day before September actually starts ,at my desk and three pups around my feet. Before I can even begin to write this months post, I gathered my hands together and rest them under my chin with my eyes close, taking a breath in; trying to figure the words to say, to make sentences that make sense, find that connection; that can be related to everyone. But If I make sense to just one person that's enough to.

I just want to uplift you , distract you for a second and make you smile about something mundane. I am here to tell you: You matter , you loved and you are special. I can feel you are , we might not know each other yet, we might know each other for years but that doesn't matter. My point is that we need to tell that to each other more in these days,in the next weeks and in these next months. Take the moment to do so, take that call to someone you haven't heard from in ages, call someone to brighten their day and return that will brighten your day. I rather see those stories, those moments more than what the latest poll chat is or the breaking news. Making smiles, sharing love with family and friends and making the first move to.

So I decided to title this Falling in love around the corner for a reason and yes I realized it's not valentine's day to. But to promote love in this givin time is more important than ever, Time right now is on it's own timeline we can't control what happens in two seconds from now. Love a little harder right now, give faith a try and be open to new possibilities around that came unexpected. Remember people may come and go out of our lives in a season because that's how things go sometimes but losing someone completely unexpectedly forever due to a illness or an accident you can't bring them back. Just let this autumn season be the Season to fall in love, hold on tighter and the season to have faith. Focus on to those who matter to your heart , who are apart of your tribe.

Let's all fall in love with love, life and enjoy the direction of fall weather and cozy nights before winter is upon us. Let's enjoy time with whom we have around a little , enjoy the sunsets lingering a little later and plan on some creative ways to connect then just a zoom call or two. Start a family project at a distance or cooking together just in different kitchens.

Most of all take this time for you as well, relax more;create new projects for you. Open yourself to learning something completely new to you, something you have never done before. Decorate a little more around than what you are used to. You never know what all the new things could lead to during that time of learning and seeing what you are capable of doing with your mind, your hands. Take the leap and see what's around the corner for your journey.

And to end on a different topic it's been year since we lost Samson. You can find us calling Maverick by Samson's name without realizing it. This year we added a little light up paw prints over his grave. To have that reminder that he just outside to chat even at night. I think sometimes the squirrels and the chipmunks that he used to chase up the tree where he is under now. know that the days are getting close to when he passed away. I find one chipmunk always seating on the exact spot on top of the rock some morning. I always think of him remind us , that he is watching over us daily and telling me to get that furry thing off of him. I sometimes thing , Max knows to when the days get closer to. He has been more vocal about staying outside even if it gets up into the nineties and in Samson's favorite spot to! Sam was a good boy and one that can never been forgotten. And I know he will always be there waiting for us each morning and night.

Okay I lied I can't end on that note, I need to end on a nice note even if I got three pups looking at me for cookies. I will be uploading new galleries soon along with a story or two and a book review. It's time to get back in the swing of things on this neck of the woods. And one more other thing , that I haven't shared anywhere yet. I have been entered in a few photo contests around the world and a writing competition. I am bit excited for the writing competition because it's a style of writing I always wanted to do, professionally. And I have been submitting a few stories there more lately then on here. But I promise to add a few and keep you guys up to date as well.

Any way my friends, I got to get my day going and keep these pups happy before they take me down over a few treats in my pocket. Remember to fall back in Life , Love and in yourself. You never know what's around the corner in life or the opportunities life has for us. Things are still in the unknown in life but we have each other to get through this year and we will be ready to start all over again soon.

Love always,

Misread.
