August the closing of summer 2020

I started to write this months post at another doctor appointment in the waiting room for the hundredth time this year and honestly I lost count on the number of times I have been waiting rooms this year alone. But I didn't want to start like that for this month and to share that but hey it's life.

We are officially near the ending of the year and August is here, shortly the fall season will come and go before we know it, christmas will be. But I hope these next few months till the new year are full of blessings for all us. Even tho this the closing of our summer days of 2020 are ending. I hope they Slow down, full of memories and fun regardless if we have wear a mask wherever we go. Let's take these days to be the ones soaked up by happiness and supporting each other even if the act is simply asking, " How are you doing?". Do more facetimes, Do more voice texts and be there because the seasons are changing, restrictions change, life routines can change all over again.


Go watch the lingering sunsets each evening, grab your favorite drink and watch the beauty of God and the universe has created for us to enjoy. In times like these we should appreciate them more than we did previously. I find myself racing each evening to finish everything I have on my plate of lists to watch the color show even if that's a few seconds before it's dusk. I find myself back under the stars like I used to such a long time go right before bedtime. Better than any show I can find on any device right now. I can even tell you last night when the world around was asleep, light's off across the valley that I looked up to those same stars that lingering each night for about thirty minutes doing absolutely nothing besides being. I found myself at peace, reaching my hands up the stars like I did like a child once upon a time ago and attempt to catch one in my palm if I could. There were so many in the sky last night that it took my breath away and it felt like dream, no sounds of anything besides the light midnight breeze moving a chime. So if you haven't done that in a while I think you should just to unwind from the world right now, the best medicine I could find. And honestly I think the stars are the absolutely gorgeous thing about life and no matter where you are in the world, they are always there with you the darkness they are share their light when we can't see seem to share ours on some days.

With that all being said I have being feeling Creative like a burst of energy came into my soul and I think it's time to share a few written pieces that I have tucked the back of things left unfinished to share with the world. I feel alive again like the wind changing directions, seasons changing in a blink of an eye. I feel like me almost to a thousand percent. I find myself drifting the world of writing in my head, faster than any pen on paper or typing on any keyboard. If I am watering the herbs, taking care the zoo or doing work I find myself dabbing little sticky notes and hiding them away in a notebook. Just saying that made me a smile a little , typing all this and hoping this makes sense to at least someone out there.

I found myself grabbing for my camera again which I haven't done either in months, I am getting inspired more when I see something that caught my eye. To the point I have ran through my house to grab my camera before I missed the opportunity when I only have seconds left. Just imagine three german shepherds very concerned for me that they are on my heels because I am just flying through doors like nothing. I can promise you when I can run back outside with a camera or two that we all forget the breaks going down the deck steps. At least I can say I got my cardio in each time that happened. And I missed that part getting excited and laughing over a moment like that when I know it doesn't make sense unless you are there witness the same thing. When was the last time you went chasing something that made you inspired that you need to capture it ?

I guess my point of this snippet of a monthly post is that enjoy moments of life right now, stop and watch what's exactly in front of you. And what has inspired you recently that made you feel giggy , that made you smile so much that your face hurt? Put down your phone more often, turn off the tv, the computer and watch the beauty around us that we often miss when we are busy with life. Just being is more important, press pause go in solitude in nature. Before we know it , rain will come around, the colder temperatures will come upon us and the snow will be covering the world around us. And remember your safety is important, wear the mask when you should and check on your loved ones. Just don't forget to just be in this timeframe and what beauty lies around us.


In closing I just want to leave you with this: You are loved, you are worthy of everything and someone is always in your corner to catch you if you were fall. And Being is Okay to be right now, you don't have do anything else besides that .

Anyways,

Love Misread.💕

P.s I will try to be on time for the next monthly post and keep a lookout for anything new to pop up shortly.

 

Virgin River Book review May 2020

Let me first say I binged watched the the whole series before I knew there was a book in existence. And if you equally enjoyed the netflix series as much as I did, You need to get your hands on the novel,ASAP!. Trust me on that once you get to Chapters nine through thirteen , You will be feeling lots of emotions that you can't contain yourself and saying lot of things out loud in reading those pages because I did. And what happened in- between those pages weren't in any of those episodes and there were some spicy moments but there was also some heartbreaking moments as well.It was just full of information about the characters and introduction their backstory differently, more in depth.




I live in a small town that I love but Now I just want to jump into the pages if I could and be in Virgin River forever. I love every single character written they all seem they have so much behind them with their own individual story that I can't for them unfold later down in the line in other books.

Now that I got that out the way back into the actual review of the novel. In my opinion I would give the book a five star rating because once I got hooked after a few chapters. The only reason , I think the few beginning chapters weren't more impactful for me as a reader. Is because of Hope's Character description threw me off a bit because I already had her pictured in my mind from the show. But besides that little thing, it's just my opinion as reader.

Mel is one lady I won't get out my mind and time soon, I wish I had her as friend. She's one strong woman that was built for what she went through and more beautiful because it's her story. I can relate to her heartbreak and struggles for opening up because she had a strong love with someone. She seems to be the perfect mid wife that every mother to be ,need in their lives and during their delivers Then for it all to be taken away like it was, I wouldn't blame her for choices after that heartbreaking moment in her life.

Jack Is another story, he's the type of man that would take a bullet for everyone in his current life. And being a Marine, he's built to protect as if it was in his bloodlines way before he ever joined up besides joining up five times in a row. Like Mel he need a change of life and found Virgin River to a perfect place to have his business while living in peace.

The connection between the two completely unexpectedly connected deeply then either one of them expect to , where they were in our separate worlds. I think Mel and Jack were meant to be together despite all the hurt and challenges they faced before they met.

Mel losing her husband to a horrific accident and her love of her forever gone, knowing she couldn't have children. Jack going through numerous war's, a loss of a soldier under his command and fighting his own internal battles. They have their own way of understanding each other's walls and each other's hardships that no one will ever understand.

Just like Mel said, " Something is the river" Virgin River is a place that heals the folk in the town , coming or going. Towards the end of the novel, I can sense the actual moment when they both in each other they were each other's "Homes" despite everything in their past and what was happening around them, they were meant to be. And maybe , I shedded a few tears during that chapter alone... because honestly I felt that moment in my own soul as if the moment was in the same room as me.

I can't forget to mention Doc was an interesting character to listen to and understand. You might not always treat an old dog , new tricks always. but like doc he is loyal stubborn and eventually shows the respect , he knows that is earned. Stubborn has any wise man that has been doing his job alone longer than anyone in his opinion. Giving Mel the hardest time to work with him and yet it turned out she taught him a thing or two, even if he couldn't say it outloud. Just a secret between you and I, I think Doc saw Mel and thought she had a gift , stubborn like him from the very start of meeting her. Also like she's own of his own , watching her help patients in the office and going out of way to help the town.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel so much, I can't wait to reread it again; But we all know I got a list to finish of unread books in my library.I find myself smiling at the lines between Mel and Jack that made wish for a moment I was Mel.

" This idea to marry you, to have my life with you.. it's not something I feel like I have to do. It's what I want" - Jack Page 371

This line is probably one my favorite lines, that I ever read and it spoke so Powerful for Jack to say to Mel. And for her to actually hear it and feel it through her body. It gave me chills.

"You never think a man will notice. Not things like that" -Mel Page 347

And this one just made me laugh because I couldn't agree more with Mel on that Statement alone.

There is so many pages throughout the novel, I would love to share and give my thoughts on them. But I would be giving away to much of the book and it's goodies for other readers. And I almost did but I will try to hold back the rest for my notebook. In all honestly this novel is one for the ages and an Unexpected love story that caught me off guard emotionally as a reader. To one reader to another, keep the tissues handy, a box of candy on hand and above all please take your time enjoying every chapter because once it's over you will be looking for more. Especially when you see they very last page. I said, "I wasn't ready for it to end, yet".

Enjoy this one ! Link for the novel, down below!

With my love always,

Happy mother's day




Happy Mother's day to all of the beautiful women out there on this beautiful day! I wish I could hug you all and give you some roses. You are all strong beyond any storm and you are wise with great advise that should written down for the history books. Either we know each other personally or not ; I am grateful for you and for what you do in life. You make an impact in this world even if you don't always get the credit you deserve, you are the light in this world and you do so much for others.We has women are all mothers even if we have children or not (I have fur babies), we are Mothers at the end of the day.

Women are nurtures even when we don't want to be in a moment, it's in our blood; we are when it comes to the tiniest of creatures around or show kindness to a stranger's child because if it was our child ; we would want someone to do the same for ours. And yes it might be ingrained in your minds to be the way, we are but I like to think it's an unspoken gift that God gave us because we can handle those shoes just right.

As I am sitting here, typing this up in my own garden; I finally understand what my grandmother has been saying for years and thinking about the other wonderful women in my life as well. To the mother's that have become my mother's over the years and (you all know I call you all lovely lady), to my sweet friends that have become mothers to sweet nieces and nephews. You are the best , fantastic moms in life, period!Those ladies that I mention come before me, are the ones I look up to the most in this life. They are the superheros that would do anything for their children by any-means and help anyone else in their live as well and I have seen in action. They gave life to most beautiful people I know in this world, they are the ones who would listen to any problem anyone has, they are the ones who work a full shifts and have a clean house , prepare a whole meal and still have a spare moment to relax at the end of each day. They are my favorite superheros to learn from and every second I spend with them, I learn something that can't be found on google.



Taking in this moment to reflect on my own life and all the ladies that helped me grow, helped me water my own seeds as woman and I am watching my own garden grow around me, I think about the teachers in schools who taught me things beyond the textbooks that could be taught, my own mother that made me stronger when she wasn't around; I learned things about myself. And about every single woman in my family taught me something from Aunties,to the many cousins I have; giving me hours of advice I needed in my life . Every single woman, mother and young woman in my world , those are the women that make me want to be better a woman each day and be the type of mother I would want to be one day , if I am ever lucky to have a child of my own.

I also wanted to say I know some of you can't celebrate with Mom or with those other special women in your lives because they passed on. I know they are looking down on you and seen you grown into beautiful people from afar. They are smiling down and sending their love your way to, I can feel it in my heart. I didn't not want to not mention them because just because you can't hug them or see them smile right now, I can promise you they are smiling right now and they are hugging you with the wind.

This Mother's day might be different for each one us around the world right now. And there's no brunch out or a party to attend for the special occasion. Eventually things will go back to a new normal where we can celebrate everyday with each other again. But there's still facetime, skype and old fashioned calls as well to make that lovely lady happy. I will be sending a sassy card to my favorite ladies and something sweet.. shhhh! Send her favorite flowers to her door or with another unexpected gift, I bet it would make her whole day!

Happy Mother's day again, around the world !

Love you all, Lovely Ladies!

With all my love,

Misread
