do you know that feeling...

where, as a writer...it haunts you in the middle of the night what you want to write about but then, upon waking...

nothing.
nada.
ZILCH.

i really hate this feeling, and it should promote me to get up in the middle of the night and start writing.

since summer began, i have gone back to exploring, celebrating, and back to the daily grind of trying to get my career as a school counselor rolling again. i wish it was easier to get everything done that i want to (especially in the crafts department!) but it's not.

things on my mind and now out there in the blog-u-verse:

• job job job. gimme gimme. want one to escape the boredom!
• love summer.
• social media is exhausting.
• so many books to read, so little time
• WANNA GO EVERYWHERE!
• ah, me.

lol

so i'm back in the state where my mind buzzes around and around with thoughts and ideas like a ticker tape. sometimes, i swear it's a psychic thing i've got going on. i have no idea where said thoughts and ideas come from.

i've heard somewhere recently that writers have a more difficult time than non-writers getting their words out there in the way they want. this comforts me, because  i never feel adequate enough in describing much of anything when writing. and most of the time, there is no word flow, or just basic flow. 

more things on my bucket list:

• certification in nutrition, health and wellness. 
• yoga certification
• my next big project

i hope all of you out there in bloggie land are doing wonderfully, and that your summer (or whatever season) is treating you well!!

lots of love and light from me to you,

crafting my blog

this is me.
i did not make this photo extra large as to not scare you.
i am fresh out of a shower here so don't judge.
my husband (Love of My Life or LML) insists I take a photo of my hair every week since after my stem cell transplant for hodgkin's lymphoma.

i was thinking about my blog yesterday, and decided i need to make it more organized.
but alas, my thoughts are not organized.
there is not only a few things that interest me, but a TEAM of things that do.

So I came up with days of the week I can break my main likes into.

Mondays- Health issues/topics based on wellness and nutrition.
Tuesdays- Crafts
Wednesdays- all things Travel
Thursdays- Inspirations-- people, clothes, life
Fridays- Recipes, most likely juice recipes (you can tell by my instagram :) )
Saturdays/Sundays- misc.

I hope you stick around-- I talk a lot, I may come off way too passionate about a lot of things but this is life. my life. thanks for reading and i hope you stick around <3

love me,

A Healthy, Happy 2014 to all!

I sincerely hope you had the best New Year's Eve ever-- and that you will make sure your 2014 rocks!

Remember, the divine is always looking out for each one of us.
Whenever you offer up your prayers to God, make sure you also pray for your enemies, too-- we all need guidance, light and love.

I've learned a lot since my almost one month hiatus from this blog. I am so excited to share everything with all of you and so thankful that you are on this journey with me.

What my goals are for 2014? I have no idea...I honestly haven't sat down long enough to go over this in my mind- but once I do, well-- better late than never.

Last year was the worst NYE ever. Literally. It was my fourth AVD chemo but they had added bleomyacin which caused toxic shock to my swollen eyes, caused me to hallucinate, pass out, and not come to until about an hour before the ball dropped. I had no idea how hard 2013 would be, but I made it out alive with God to Thank and now I'm going to live life to the fullest.

I do have some goals off hand that I will share with you--

1. massively detox my body from all the poisons they pumped in me between November 2012 and August 2013.
2. exercise. hike. swim. with dolphins. with sharks. with stingrays. I'm going to do it all as much as I can.
3. Get another book published?
4. Educate myself on nutrition, hopefully leading to some sort of opportunity or profession (wink, wink)

What are your goals?

How was your New Year's Eve?

Please let me know how you are!

Love and light and health to you all!
