Jan can you see me

Lets all have a collective laugh the best I could for a title this late in the game but it's the best I could do. And who doesn't like a good pun once in a while. So January 2025 what can I say. Hey Hey, did you see what I did there. Okay that's enough, I swear. There was a punch to the first day but a worthy laugh to say the least into the new year!

If you been around here for a while you know where to find me on the first day of each year. Its the one thing I look forward to each year. I couldn't tell you which city I will be each year and yet I will be but my will feet touch sand and ocean water on the first day is one tradition that will never end. The only debatable thing if the coffee will be in hand or not in the present moment walking on the sand and what place to eat at before going home. The only requirements on the first day of the New Year. And that's all I will say. But saying this while on my second cup of coffee before noon on a Sunday on my bed in April writing about January and heavily distracted by many episodes of Greys Anatomy.

The big thing that happened on the first day of the year didn't happen at the beach or at the Neptune's Net. Which by the way Neptune's Net was yummy as usual surprising crowed on the first day to find a spot. I guess everyone had the same idea as we did. Of course I had my usual fish and chips but also with their world famous clam chowder soup. One could never go wrong with either options if I say as foodie and everything is good there regardless what you choice off the menu. One other thing to say on the subject of food is ice cream heaven. Try LE CAFE DE LA PLAGE the line will be long regardless when you go but it will be worth a taste but there's no ocean view to add. I had the pistachio and I think a coffee flavor underneath.

Okay, now that's over the big thing you all want to know and I will try not make it to long winded for you all . So after the perfect first day of the year of course something would happen. I wouldn't think I could escape something not to happen even on the first day. This is including two Starbucks runs later even to add and all coffees had were fantastic. On the drive back home things were just rolling along no problem from Malibu and halfway home. Remember the keywords :rolling along" in this little story. Just driving on the highway and just passed county lines that we heard a poof just a little poof and a thug thug. And my dad and I both said looking at each other , "That wasn't the cups of water". Just a few moments prior from the elevation change the air in the bottles, I was getting rid of air in them. Then Poof happened and the comment we said that the tire light came the dashboard of my car at the same time. The timing is very important to this story. Mind you when the poof happened there's construction on the Highway that hasn't been finished yet and there's the section of this specific highway where it splits off away from any exits of this said highway. Mind you upon reflecting said memory of the moment I'm think about the movie Speed. If you know , you know why I'm thinking about it. So the next few moments there was an exit D and fifteen minutes left on run flat tires and conveniently without complete google search for the nearest auto zone, there was one about two minutes away. Of course turning into the parking lot of said auto zone the tire was completely flat at the worst location of places with a convertible with minimal light to see. These would the evening of day one at 5:27pm. And one bottle of fix a flat inflator and finding a huge nail in the tire . Of course there was no spare tire and no air pump in the trunk either. This is where the laughing started because we are at auto zone and there's only us in the parking lot and what does on do in this situation. Record a video to capture the memory.

And AAA was called they sent one tow then that tow got rerouted to another situation. More laughing happened then magically another tow truck called and they were on their way. Now come to find out that tow guy was from our little town and his name was Zack. I would say small world timing or is it fate at the same time. Ladies ,don't go thinking it was love story brewing from this story but it's a nice thought through. Also in-between us that would make a great story in the books. On the rest way home was rock music playing on the radio, I couldn't tell you what the titles of the songs. I can just tell you that it made laugh all the way home . Knowing full well I got three dogs and one loud JJ that would love to kill me the second I got home. As you know I survived the situation and they forgive me , kind anyway. Sometimes Fate of things leads to a story of our lives to remember that's what makes life unexpected. And we all have a special book we live every day ,each page is different, so are the chapters.

The lesson here is even if in life things can be shit, (And I said that ) you can be the worst situation physically, emotionally at wrong time, place. Look at the positive side of things no matter what. And always remember too laugh even if in said worst situation. Because you can cry, and yell but laughter will change the situation guarantee will also make others around you to laugh, smile to. One other thing if you need to cry but you are laughing to and there's people around say you aren't sad, just half malfunctioning. Hehe. This what I might of said in a worst untimely of events but it was the truth.

I have a lot of things to catch you all about things, life. Some things will be easy to say, some thing I will never say and some things can be left unsaid on a page or napkin. Give me some time I will catch up on posts. And a little prewarning right now these posts will get longer since I'm falling in love again.. with sharing. I been coming back to me for a long time, sometimes I feel like I should hide that a little longer but at the same time not to hide away. I did promise a story or two coming your way. I just have a tight grip on that one story because it means more to me even though I know it's ready to give out to the world the thing , I don't know what the world would say back is the lingering question of life.

I will se you all soon, that's only handful of you or a stadium of you. You all matter. That's where I leave you and I feel good about leaving at that note.

X's and O's

Hi world

I assume the first thing would be where in the World have I been ? See what I did there... Hehe I made a tiny pun. Let me have it.

That at one point was very successful and people around the world read my work, saw my photography. I would also say there has been life changes, heartbreaks and lessons that happens that changes a person in the end. And that person could be in the same office with the same keyboard physically but in the inside of their soul be completely different. That's who I am now. I'm different and yet a little bit of same of the old me. The only way I could describe it. I have been genuinely happy at peace and happy where I'm at right now. It was an easy road, lots ups and downs, lots tear's that the world would never see but the walls would hear. I learned people come and go ,they sometimes stay for while, but each one will carry a piece of you and you will carry a piece of them. You will grief that loss in your own way, you think of them, no one will know that you are besides you. A lot can change in days, months and in a year. I learned into just lean into it is a better way of handling any situation. I can say I'm genuinely happy and at peace with everything is because letting go of everything, if something going to happen, it's going to happen either way. I feel much better, should have just done that long ago in life. No matter what it's called life but also creating history is seconds. Both in the present, past and the future. I had a few friends that know my life say recently ," You are too calm and relaxed. How are you doing this ? " . My response " Its because I choose happiness, now . And let everything go ,really. I can think about the loss of people as in it was chapter. A chapter that I would love to continue but I know it is meant to stay it can but if doesn't. I can see what happened any time I want ; the bad , the good . But don't stay there for too long. Where it went wrong or when it was happy . Its a choice to be happy and be relaxed" .Forgive quickly ,have that cry, have that scream. It's about releasing yourself and choosing to be happy regardless of the crumbling around. So that's where I'm at. Where are you? Think about it for a minute.

Now by that being said , I have tried returning many of times , it just seemed there was always something that would fall into my hands to take care of first . Time and time again eventually I just gave in to it. Because that's what life had in store for me at the time. And of course things fell through the cracks, that I didn't even see. Apparently I'm just the soul that loves stepping up to any plate and take care of things until I don't need to. To know everything around my orbit is functioning as it should is when I know I can touch my world again. It's habit of mine, I discovered. Maybe it's a habit I need to break ,here and there. We might have our own worlds has in families, friends, work but indivually we have own world inside us. And that's important to take care of us too. Because we live that every second that we breathe. I hope that make sense; it made sense to me. And per my author name, I'm misread for a reason if it doesn't make sense... That's okay.

I wonder if this world would be ever a place for me to step back into. Or it would even be thing that I always wanted it to be to begin with. Timing is everything, they say. When I close my eyes genuinely just envisioned what it always suppose to be all along, it makes me feel happy from my head to my toes. And it's a good thing it still makes me feel that. Makes me want that to be true reality, more .There was suppose to be print shop and other things, even through I have the other mini one which you could find on Zazzle. I think it could be better and it will be better. Possibly AKW will be in hands of many, who knows! I'm more open to success then I think I even know yet.

So Hi !

And yes, I'm babbling along and I will continue on. I write how I talk , I want to express myself like you are my best friend regardless if there's a screen between us. Just imagine we are out at some busy loud café but it's cozy for lunch and brew.

Can't believe we are in 2024 already and three months in ,I still don't know how time flies so fast sometimes. So much changed in these days already in the new year. I hope these first three months into 2024 has treat you all with kindness, love and wonder. And if not then you are right around the corner of being good for you. I always kick of the new year with new word that I think would set the tone for what's ahead at least for me. It's what I do. I think it's better than a resolution that sometimes we forget to keep. I know we can't always predict what the next second would be ,but we still try as humans. I might only be three months late but it's better to be late sometimes than never showing up at all. Let me be honest I didn't exactly have a word in the beginning of the year, I was busy on healing myself from my own conflicted injury. By walking and eating it mud not my best moment but Hey; life happens. Don't ask ,how ! You don't want to hear how much my ego was bruised. Back to my word of the year, I thought it would be Happiness at first honestly. And I was going to stick with that word because it made sense. Then it came to me just out of nowhere what the word should be , My word is ME. And I think those two letters make a powerful word. Let me tell you why that little word means putting myself first this year is important. Me being Happy is important to my soul . Me having success this year is important to my inspiration . Me being in love is important to my heart. That includes more self love as well. Me being more relaxed is important to my mind. And lastly Me having more fun that I have before is important because I deserve it. Now I don't know where Me is heading into the rest of the year, but I know where ever I land, it will be good, I'm sure and I deserve it. Right where I belong .And of course life with throw it's curves along the way. I'm sure we could all attest to that!

I did a little poll on my Instagram how long my first blog post back should be, you guys said ten minutes along. Here I thought you guys would want a short blog post that would get straight to the point and maybe long story next instead! But I was proven wrong very very quickly in that little poll. So I guess I can share that I'm writing something very powerful. At least to me. I think it was something I was suppose to write and share. It had many lives ,different versions exist but never saw light. It had different titles as well. I also will say that it's about love of course. What else would I write about ,hehe. But a different kind of love this is about. I think it will make people relate to different moments of the story. It may even make one cry and I apologize if it makes you cry in advance. I hope it was a good cry. It's very deep and personal to me. When I say deep ,I mean depth. It's at the space of heart where I don't share that space for anyone besides my soul. It not the type of conversation I would have over coffee. That space is where I wonder when I write but I hold back what's mine in each story. Think of this next piece has Taylor's Swifts All To Well song but the 10 minute version. If you ever listened to song in depth, you'll get my point. All I have ever given are the short versions of that space in everything I written but I think it's time at least in this era of my life it gets shown even if that's just once. It all depends if you all like it or not ! If not , oh ooops we shall cross that bridge when we get there. And if you are thinking, you are all getting a title out of me now. You would be right! The title is "Knowing Me, knowing You. " That's it! You aren't getting anything else out of me. Even that was too much but I think it was well deserved for waiting a long dam time for a good story! Well hopefully it would hit your expectations.

In closing I'm Back and I hope it's for good because this will always fuel my soul. It brings me happiness in my own little corner of the world on a little island even if I'm the only soul on the island. I know readers will return someday hopefully some day soon. They are just hidden away from this world at the moment. And that's definitely okay. I know nature lovers will come by see my photos. Once they leave the many beautiful hiking trails, fields because if you didn't notice we are spring! And the rumors are this year would be biggest super bloom yet ! We shall see how much of the bloom we get to see. Even though, I'm physically sitting in a snow storm with many layers of 32 degree attire and sleepy pups at my feet. And Trust me I'm not moving a muscle while typing away. Being in nature is better than any city unless there's important food craving then I understand the foodie and nature argument. You might hear more about this foodie opinions in future. There has been another thing that I been thinking about dabbling it. But I will leave you with this, be prepared to feel, to be on journey that will definitely be different. Because I feel everything will be different. But also still being misread regardless of anything else. So lets all enjoy the grammar errors and run off sentences all together! Because I can't help that anyway, it's in my nature any way!

See you soon ,I hope!

Bye for now.

With love,

Me

P.s If you think I have an release date in mind for "Knowing me , Knowing you". I don't. But I way sooner than you think!

Twenty Twenty Three Nourishment Season

So lets pretend that is my new year 2023 post and this is my January post in one big post.

We all in Agreement ? Yes,great! Happy Twenty three ! I hope you all had a fantastic start where ever you landed between Twenty two and Twenty three.

I feel this year alone is going to be a big year not only for myself for those around me. There's just something about it and some say that the number 23 is a lucky number. So we shall see , what happens and I will report through out the year! Every year I choose a new years word than just a resolution that I mostly won't keep or remember half way through the year. And it works out better each year and the word I choose seem to be fitting for the year by the end if the year. So this years chosen word took me a little while after new years passed to figure out what that single word would be. One morning I woke up knowing what my intention would be for the year and that would is nourishment.

Nourishment. Means more than one thing for me personally and very fitting to my twenty-ninth year around the earth and I will get to that in a minute, I need more nourishment in my life again. The kind that makes the soul freeing , more laughs that lead to laughs on the floor for longer than need be. Nourishment in my own work that maybe is untapped potential, I almost feel that I am going to shock my own self by the end the year. And yes I have already planning how to step out a little more out of my own comfort zone. They say life is about just showing up for yourself and the rest will follow through. And I can tell you that's a life fact that we need to preach more. I already have been giving my body nourishment physically working on the body I want on the inside and out. I do have the soreness to prove it as well. That might be a little to much to information but I said it. Which I am only working on my body four days out the week for a little bit and that's enough for me and it makes me happy. And when I went away from everything , I was already working on my heart and my mind's strength of nourishment aspect. More time to force on pure genuine happiness that wasn't masked. More time out and about, walks in nature not distracted by the phone we are all get attached to. Don't get me wrong I was constantly taking pictures on my phone but I wasn't posting them at all. I guess my point is that I chose this nourishment because I felt like I have been missing that aspect out of life for a while. And that's okay that I did because it wasn't what I need then but what I want now. Nourishment doesn't have to mean just fuel for the body but it can mean so much more mentally ,emotionally etc. It's up to you to decipher what nourishment you need. Friends say I am more relaxed than I ever been before and yet like I used to be at the same time. I can easily say I am and I am more calm then I ever been as well even on my roughest days. I like to think I know this year might have its highs and lows like every year but It will all work out in the end because life has a balance to it. And maybe just maybe all the wildest wishes, dreams will come true. One never knows where things lead and that's probably why they call it life.

Speaking of wildest wishes and dreams coming true, this is my last year of the of the twenties and I can say I don't know where my own time went . One day I was 18 then 21 then 25 , I don't know where 29 came from but it's here . I am sure I am not the only one who felt like this in the in-between stage. Do you remember that growing up people say," One day you are going to blink and wonder how you got to be "old " so soak up these days ?." Well I can say at twenty-nine, I definitely wonder. I would say reflecting back a little but not too far down that rabbit hole of my life, I played life safe but I know I am older soul and beyond my years that could be apart of it. Does that makes sense? And yes that's the shortest synopsis I can give. I don't have many what I call classify as "wild stories " that I have heard from all walks of life. And trust me I have heard plenty of wild stories! Side note I know life doesn't just end at 30 just because it's a number and I know we can always reinvent ourselves at any given time point. Which I hope this year I could soak up as many as I can for the old memory bank. I also plan on not playing it so safe for this year, I don't have an answer on why ,other than why not ? I do feel like this year is my year and I accepting of it . Beyond just happy about it , where ever it leads . It's just where I am meant to be. Before my birthday I got an planner with the cover saying ;2023, the year she got everything she wanted . So I like to think it was already written in history before it happens. Some how I just know already.

And as far as my birthday this year, I didn't go to Las Vegas like I do every year. Which I was fine with that, there's always another time to go and another season to be there. And foodie cravings can wait at the party city. But let me tell you the day of my actual birthday , what could go wrong went wrong and sometimes one just has to laugh about that because I did. As life would have it lets cause chaos and see how she reacts kind of moment, I choose lets just go with it. And of course I requested Birthday do over. Which was good and it was relaxing ,there was beach time, good food and good company plus lots of free coffee. That's all I ever need for a birthday well maybe not three coffees in a row but I have learned at twenty-nine that I can only have two in a row. All the good food I had was nearly from all my favorite places in California. And No, I didn't eat all of the food I love in one day , it was spread over a few weekends. Trust me there was lots of traveling, hiking to walk off the calories of yummy food. There was also a few cliff hikes that led to straight off to the abyss and one string that would hold you up if you fall. Not my favorite part of mysterious walks sometimes but I lived and pretended I was completely fine even through I was dying in the inside and maybe a few tears rolling off my face is I am totally honest. There was a few happy accidents by finding new hidden gems by the sea that I never been to and I been to nearly all locations with a body of water in Cali. The question is will I remember to find those same spots off the beaten path for summer hikes, we shall see together. Minus that I highly recommend you guys check out Neptune's net in Malibu, Brophy Bros in Ventura Harbor and of course my favorite Blue Water Grill in Redondo beach for any occasion. Also check on Johnny's pastrami in culver city on Sepulveda and get the sandwiches just how they make it. Lastly check Falafel Arax in little Armenia, everything is good but my personal favorite is falafel sandwich. Of course as far as coffee shops go I can recommend the two I had during my birthday month , Coffee Cartel and Kamenz Kafe. As you know I love sharing a good food or coffee shop. I can list a whole lot more but I will keep to my top recommendations for now at least. Maybe that will be a future post one day !

In closing this beginning of the : "New year , New journey " post no matter where you are in life and what journey you on right now. Things will balance out in the end everything works out even if we don't think it will, it will. Trust that. Now you guys know that my word of the year is , what's yours ? I am curious to know, let me know. To be completely transparent ,so far this year seems to be blur way to fast so many things has happened that I don't even know what month we are in even. It seems every time I either try to write up a post or something related to misread , something comes up more important. As it stands right now I have a February/ March to finish writing up and at least three book reviews to write and post about . But I got a few questions ," Who has read the Bridgeton series?" And specifically the first three alone, "Which book is your favorite out of the first three?" I got to know ! I do have a favorite of my own. Also my aim over the next few weeks is to write a novella style story that's been on my heart for quite some while . Let's say this story has been living rent free in my head for at least a year. Did you know Stephen king said, if you have the same idea coming back to your mind lot and you can't stop thinking about it , you are meant to write about it. And I believe that writing any story sitting with it for long time before writing a word. A little sneak peak, I already have the title and the ending before anything . The title of the story is "I wish you could of loved me ". I don't know where that story will go but I know it's important to write. I do have good news to report but obviously I will be posting that on the next one! Letting the suspense build a little it involves photos and maybe a few awards.

Don't forget to follow me on all the socials for more.

With my love,

Misread

See you soon !
