Let's Get Real
Sometime life just sucks and we don’t wanna hear the truth (we CAN handle the truth!) and we gotta put our big panties on to deal with it.

Shining Moments: July 24th-30th, 2022
Well this week was certainly something else. I got diagnosed with Shingles (basically the adult version of chickenpox but SO much worse). It’s my first time having it and I’m not a fan. This week’s list is smaller, but enjoy… Shining Moments – Got to go to a Celebratory/Moving Away party with Babe’s coworkers at Senor Tequila before the shingles hit hard/got the diagnosis of what it was. I got the Enchiladas Super Rancheras (5 different types of enchiladas: beef, chicken, shredded beef, bean & a cheese)- the food was good & we all had a great time – Babe was SO helpful this week as I was SUPER…

Shining Moments: July 10th-16th, 2022
It’s been awhile since I posted this year as it’s been an insane/crazy/busy year, but I’ve really been wanting to get back into writing these posts. This week has been about small things, food and shopping. Shining Moments – Got free smoothies for me and babe. They were having tech issues and by the time they tried to run my card, the system said “NOPE, not today.” I offered to come back later to pay for them, but he said not to worry about it – Babe got to see a hummingbird at the feeder we have outside finally! He’s seen them flit by, but never stationary – While…

Self Care Project
Self Care… it’s a word/phrase we hear so often and as much as it might be “over-used”, it really is an important concept. You can’t pour anything from an empty cup. It’s been a crazy year already with job changes, economy ebbs & flows (yay gas & food prices), important milestones and anniversaries coming up, so I knew I needed to really evaluate where I was in life and where I wanted to be. I have a tendency to go big (and not start off small) and 99% of the time, those lofty dreams and goals taper off and reality kicks in. Since one of the reasons why I decided…

Welcoming 2022 (Word of the Year, Goals & Intentions)
Happy New Year everyone! 2021 sure flew by and good riddance!!!! Like the meme says: But seriously. It’s been no cakewalk for anybody and straight up hell for some. Despite what category you find yourself in, I hope that you will take the time to truly reflect on what has recently happened, how we’ve reacted (either good or bad), take a deep breath, woosaw/woosah a little bit and then look forward to 2022 with even the littlest and tiniest shred of hope. Keeping with the tradition of deciding on a word for the year and what goals/intentions I want to pursue, I have made my decisions earlier than usual.…

Happy Inauguration Day America!
I typically avoid politics as a whole, but there are sometimes it simply can’t be avoided. I mean, today IS Inauguration Day after all. This post isn’t a woe-is-me-my-party-lost nor is it a woot-we-won. I didn’t vote for Biden/Harris and neither did I vote for Trump/Pence. For me, both sides have issues and I didn’t want to vote for Biden/Harris just because I don’t like Trump and wanted him out (this method of thinking just adds to the problems of how our society currently functions *arguably*). However, I am happy to say a warm welcome to Biden/Harris for the next 4 years. I am appreciative of their so far…

Shining Moments: May 17th – 23rd, 2020
Welcome to another edition of Shining Moments – a place where I list all the beautiful things (small or big) that make life worth living for and to keep myself on a grateful path (especially during COVID). May is almost over – where did it go? Usually its the odd numbered months that seem to draaaaag on. This week was really rough for a lot of reasons, so the list is shorter and a little more concise than what I usually post. Shining Moments – Still working (considered an essential) at the hotel – Good news at work – I didn’t UberEats this week for several reasons, but it…

Shining Moments: May 3 – 9, 2020
Welcome to another edition of Shining Moments! Wishing all kinds of Moms a very Happy Mother’s Day! This week has all kinds of shining moments and a reflection of organizing. Shining Moments – Still working (considered an essential) at the hotel – beginning to get more and more into a “normal” routine – My boss gave me a great compliment about the work I’ve been doing. We are also going to proceed with the office change-up plans (a little earlier even). Within the next week or 2, I should have my own office space! – It was one of my AGM’s birthday and I got her a little something…
