Spring coming to our Air

Spring is here in April and Easter is Just around the Corner

It's that time again ,another monthly Catchup but at least we are the Spring Season. Where we start see the ground beneath our feet turn into greenery around the world. The daily quarantine

walks around will be filled with fresh grass appearing , the sprouting daffodils showing signs of spring and the reminder that Easter is around the corner. I am not going to lie the spring season is exciting to me because it feels the year just begun, the feeling of a fresh start in the air. Does anyone else agree ? Spring just feels like a the beginning to what last year was and what we have been searching for.

By that being said it's April first , the day of jokes to kick off the month. Now I must say, I come from a family of pranksters so this day was a necessary moment of the day to get someone back . But that being said I haven't pulled a prank in a couple years and to be honest I kind of miss the planning of a prank but not the clean up of one . I once took everyone's left or right shoe of another pair of shoes that was in the house. And yes, that was a lot of shoes to hide away and get away with going into other's closets without anyone knowing. It took a long time to take all those without making a closet looking undisturbed. That had to be the most time consuming of a prank. Over the years I think we all grew up in the sense that .. No pulls joke on anyone specially what we are going through collectively. But we all need a good laugh once in a while, So I say lets keep the pranks only on this day and end by mid day.

Today being the first day of April, is the perfect day in the start of the spring season. The weather is perfect the only thing missing a beach and close friends. But being underneath clear skies and seventy degree weather with a light breeze, I will take any day. I am kind of tempted to pull out my swim wear, a beach towel, a playlist playing in the background and picking up good book after I finish this up. What would you do if your perfect weather outside and you are just finishing up your workday? Speaking of a good book , I have two new book reviews coming out this month and yes I am excited to share them with you. They are two Robin Carr novels back to back and I was too tempted to not find out what happen before I even typed up book number two book's review , that's why there was has been a little delay. What I will be reading next two novels by written friends that have on list for a while and I can't wait to share them to! Side note , I will be adding a link to those reviews to the bottom of this post.

Since the season of me working on other things have come to the end for the most part , I am excited to coming back to my work in full force. And you have no idea, I have stories that I want to be share, my book to be finally finished. Now since I have more time on my hands that I hope I can the distraction that people need or a little pick me up here and there. I know I have a back long of pictures to go through and edit a few. Also those long go trips that I never shared before will be added along the way. San Francisco trips, the Sierras trips and the many seaside's trips, it's time to share those memories, the must go to coffee shops and of course the yummy food that was beyond.

Let's Talk about Easter Sunday for a minute. This holiday is probably one of the fondest memories I share with my Nene and my family. Too much food made on this holiday , I am not kidding it's more food than Thanksgiving across the dinning table. One of my favorite memories is the egg game that we play around the table basically called , "The Egg War". Where the best egg wins and you are called the lucky person. I am usually out of the game by the third round, I egg usually get's cracked my the other person by that time. One of the fondest memory that I have , that game always bring out the best and the worst of some people but full of laughs either way. I always looked forward seeing my Nene on this holiday and making dishes along side her. For example making Ohtcheh, it seems so easy to make. But making it on my own this year and I am going to share that my first attempt was a fail but it was close to her's. I can taste my favorite thing she would make for me each time she was her Eetch which is can be eaten like a salad or dip. As I type this part of the post, I wish was here so she could tell me her recipe because somehow the handwritten recipe I wrote down the last she was here as walked away. I have only made it once under direction in the kitchen next to me. I can see her in the apron that's hanging in the pantry and pink rose slippers tell me to get the mixer and to make sure the pot doesn't boil over. The million carton of colored of eggs that my little cousins made. The many tubs of food she already prepared at her house that sneaked their little way to the refrigerator . And the handmade cheese she made from the week , I never learned that from her but I loved watching her hand make them and make the knot twists. I miss her everyday, the smell of her kitchen and her laugh the most.

To close this off on a good note and Good Friday is ahead of us. And we can all laugh for a minute, I will be attempting to make Eetch and Ohtcheh again and I am sure I will miss something but I know that I am doing this for her, to keep her love around not just me but all of us. I know that would bring her a bit of joy minus that Fact I am still unmarried she would say in her English way. "No money , No hunny and You need to make food " . I hear her voice just now that makes me smile.

Changing gears up and so we all don't get to sappy at this point , I do have more good news! And you haven't misread has been looking different lately , there has been some layout changes and more changes are coming and a brand new element is coming. I do have a few surprises in store and they are coming as well but I just can't tell you about them in this present moment. They are coming! Happy Easter ! Happy Little spring ! Happy Good Friday !

Remember you loved, you are special and more !

With love always,

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

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,
