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

October 2020 The beauty of fall

We are officially in the middle of fall and two more months away from 2021 if you can believe that one already !

Where do I even begin is the question I ask myself before I start these monthly posts. I am sitting here at my desk with Music Travel Love Playing in the background while snacking on trail mix , daydreaming of hiking mountains to be honest.And if you never heard of that band before, look it up on youtube, I highly recommend them and I just discovered them. Well I guess I start my sharing I have my ups and down days about whatever the source of my pains and other things but I still have faith things will work out eventually. I just came back from another xray and this time it was sinius. Let me tell you , I never had to stretch my neck in different angles for a few shots. And the lovely tech I had was very much a photographer in his own way , very gentle moving me in the positions and also a romantic experience minuis no meal had. You had to be there to understand how funny that was when I said to the tech and yes I did say, "This almost a romantic date with the meal involved", made us both laugh in the most awkward situation.

Mr. Maverick has gotten bit better since that last time I mentioned him and he eating again but being semi difficult about being picky about what he wants to eat some days. But I will take that improvement and put his weight back on him is a win -win my opinion even if I have stand next to him for thirty minutes to get to finish is meals each time. And to sad to mention that Max has been having seizures lately and there's no cause or a reason why he has been having them besides it's become less frequently and I only hope they would only stop for him. He has been through so much in his life but he's one stubborn just like his brothers in that way. And Mr. Mason is just a puppy handful that just wants attention and someway is just my bodyguard even if I am just in the bathroom! To add on that note, I discovered Mason doesn't like scarecrows while I was putting them out as decorations..He rather eat them and bark at them when the wind moves them outside, I am still laughing at the fact he grabbed one right out my hand a few weeks ago.

I don't know about you all out there, this my favorite time of the season for many reasons besides the one pumpkin spice latte I get every year. It's the smell of the countryside air in the mornings, the changing of the leaves turning gorgeous autumn colors and being allowed to wear cardigans , boots everyday. Usually during this month you could find me in the Eastern Sierra's chasing autumn colors, waterfalls and getting fresh baked goods. And every year that I make a trip out there, each time it still surprises me what I would find among the crisp leaves. To note sometimes I forget to either bring a jacket or gloves on most trips, I get too excited about packing each time. This year that might not happen but don't worry I still have tons of unedited albums from last few years that I started but never finished. So in turn this year you will find me editing those might share a gallery or two from those files. I also enjoy this season because it seems that the world around feels calmer, quieter than previous months like being at peace with the energy around, the wind moves like music in the air. I challenge you everyday to just sit outside with a cup of something warm either in the morning or at dusk and listen to the world. Take it in the world , forget everything else and listen to what's around you, I promise you will feel calmer than anything else for a few moments. Please let me know about your thoughts about that experience. And I want to know what are your favorite things about the autumn season to you.

To what you will find on here this month besides a monthly update post. You will find a new book review for one. And yes, before you shout to the screen ," About time " I have been a bit busy and side track to finished one but good news I already started another! And this month's book review will be posted October 16th, so if you haven't subscribed yet, you should to be notified before it gets posted on my other Socials. And a little insider information, I enjoyed this month's book more than I thought I would, it's definitely a must read! As far has posting a brand new story on here goes.. let me share that my current notebook that was full of stories , has been missing in Action! I think one of the bodyguards either sneaky hide it away or it got accidently thrown away when I was decluttering my office on evening. But before I get another messaging saying, "you haven't posted a story in months" and I know what's why mainly you all come here for. I promise I am working on few just need a dog free moment to finish them. I will share there is one particular piece that has been on my heart and mind for a while now. And if you know me as a writer if I am thinking about a certain concept or idea to the point where you can find sticky notes all over desk and computer that there will be a piece coming sooner than later. Yes, there is sticky notes all over the place currently , so it only a matter of time the story will be written, edited and posted.

I will leave you with this, the next few days, weeks things will be changing , more breaking news will happen worldwide. And then it will be November before we know it to. But I will say try to keep things normal as possible wherever you are in this beautiful. Plan moments to just be you, be free enjoy this time as preciously as possible , no matter what time is precious and time only moves forward not backwards unfortunately unless you have a time machine then you and I need to chat, asap. Remember to take time for yourself, take that little challenge if you want and let me know how it goes. And stay safe, love more and spread kindness when you can because when we share gratitude in this world , gratitude will come back to us in unexpected ways.

That's my catch up of the month , hope you are all doing well.

Love always,

Misread 💕
