May it be Summer ( July Edition)

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well , where ever you are in this beautiful world.

I have been absent from my work and the world for a bit , if you noticed again. And there is plenty of reasons for that; meaning when life happens , nothing else matters. At the beginning of last month , I was writing up last month's blog post and mother's day tribute and no matter what I did, where I sat down ,what cup of coffee in hand; I couldn't bring myself to finish it ,share it. Because it occurred to me in the mist of writing that May of last year was the last time I got to physically touched my Nene and that was on mother's day as well, so I was full of emotions from that point on. And last month I was not feeling my best self most days I was the couch watching movies all day and Mr. Maverick hurt himself has well. And some other things happened as well, when life hurts sometimes it ripples to other things but family pulls together in the end.

By saying all of that, it's a brand new month and many things are bound to happen in the between of the long summer days. And it might be summer that we all need to happen , laying by the lakes or by the seas around the world with a something cold in hand enjoying the rays. Have those long summer nights by the campfires with stories being shared over warm marshmallows melting in between graham crackers and chocolate. Let's be honest we have been all dreaming of this summer , right ? Or is it just me ? That's okay more smores for me.

I hope you all enjoyed your July fourth weekend, ate all the yummy summer foods and at the end of the day enjoyed the firework displays underneath the night sky. I enjoyed my favorite blueberry strawberry pancakes at the beginning of the holiday weekend, a few hot dogs in-between and of course the traditional funnel cake. I am curious what are your favorite summer meals? And of course you could find me at six am before anyone is up at the baseball field with the hot air balloonists getting ready for the morning. It's literally one of my favorite summer thing to do, I may be twenty- seven .. But every time I am out there I feel like a kid in a candy store with a camera in my hand ready. Then I went to two mini festivals and of course went through the car show , they had some beautiful ones on display. That was a snippet of my July Fourth weekend, all traditional and it was the closest to normal event in a long time , last year it didn't feel like the normal Independence holiday. Thank goodness this one did and I did run into a few beautiful friends in person.

I would say this Summer is the Hottest summer I have ever witness to date. There has been lots of doggy pools moments outside with the pups . Is it just me or does anyone feel like when they step outside , that they are physically cooking ? Let me know, I hope I am not the only one. And yes, there has been something iced on stand by either that be an iced Matcha or a yummy smoothie. I have been experimenting with my barista skills to make the perfect Dirty Matcha , so far I am not successful but I do make a great White Chocolate Lavender Mocha. And if you have never tried a White chocolate Lavender Mocha you definitely need to , trust me it's worth every slip. I am not going to lie to you at the moment in current moment, I have one iced on my desk. Side note use three TBSP of Ghirardelli chocolate sweet ground white chocolate powder, one to two pumps of lavender and of course use your favorite coffee.

I can't believe it we are officially have half way through the year ! I am in the state of , "WHAT" and "How". I feel like I am still back in time specifically mentally I am still in January of this year. All I got to say is time fly's more than I can blink. Or is that my old age showing at age twenty- seven? Or would you agree that year and the last six months is the same blur? I am curious to know your little answer and how are the last six months, last seven months now; have been for you compared to last year around the same time.

You will be reading this at the end of July because someone meaning me both got busy and I forgot to finish this mini post. July has been a wild month of schedules changes and unexpected beach trip and I all I have to say about that trip is that one was one interesting story to share. And the two of us that know what happened on that trip, trusting car navigation can be very sketchy when there is zero phone signal for two hours.

To be Continued..... New August Post will be up within days, New Book review will be coming as well...

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,
