HELLO MY BEAUTIFUL ANGELS!

Good morning from Long Beach/Alamitos Beach where I am joining you via the Special Olympics!  Yes, why not blog as I am awaiting digital work from my photographers.  8)  The athletes are amazing and the volunteers that I have met are super nice.  Everyone is honored to be here helping out.

What a weekend! We had the opening ceremonies on Saturday and the first day yesterday, Sunday.  I was so tired that by the time I got home I slept 15 hours with no dinner.  I even missed my honey’s softball game that I like to go to in order to cheer him on.

With that, welcome to the last week in July, 2015. What a beautiful day to be here with you and enjoying the special day with such special athletes!!  Life is special and a gift ~ so no matter what you are going thru, please take time out to appreciate where you are in life and in the world at this time in your life.  It is a gift to wake up and “smell what the Rock is cooking!”  LOL!

Know that I am thinking about you all and wishing you all a fantastic day/week.

Cheers my fellow Angels!  With light, love and special guidance!

No Words Necessary

In life you have those moments when there are no words necessary.  Nature is at its finest, the birds are chirping, the air is clear and clean, the sun is shining, and you know deep down that there are, in fact, Angels around at this time because nothing could be more beautiful and peaceful.  Those times are priceless!  Don’t you agree…

We hiked that day down into the Grand Canyon, across the canyon and back up.  Yes, it took us all day and into the early evening.  Wow, what a journey.  There were more miles than I was anticipating, but we did it.  We were prepared, had plenty of water and food.  Rob is always prepared for adventures, especially those that take him outdoors.  So, I wasn’t too worried.

May your days be filled with light, love and blessings.  Cheers my dear friends.

No Thank You!

You know that feeling you get when you finally get home, walk in the door, and all you want is peace and quiet and maybe some light conversation with someone.  That’s it, no TV, no radio, nothing more.  Just conversation and peace.  I find myself like that lately wherein I don’t want to watch TV, I don’t want to listen to the radio, I don’t want to hear people talking on the TV, radio, internet or any other device.  I don’t want to check my phone for messages, Instagram, LinkedIn, FB or any other social media.  I just want to be at peace.  I just want to play with my baby kitties.  I just want that glass of wine and light conversation.  Sometimes I get so tired of all of that and just want to be within the presence of self and enjoy the time with my babies and significant other.  But, give me some time to wind down and I like to blog with you and read your posts for a bit!  But, that’s it – nothing more.  (Sometimes you just need a break from it all.) Crazy huh?

Does anyone else get this way?  Or am I a lonely lady in this…

With light and love to you all!

Work ~ Why…

There is something to be said for a slow day at a criminal defense law office.  I get to spend some time reading and blogging.  Granted, I should be working, but why?  I would rather be here with you instead of here at work.  So, let’s knock this day out of the park shall we…

Happy Wednesday my lovely angels!  I hope you have a fabulous day!

TREE of LIFE and INSPIRATION

Happy Tuesday my lovely angels!  Welcome to another beautiful week in July, 2015.

Don’t you just love nature!  I certainly do.  Just to be out in it and breathe in the fresh air a well as listening to all the amazing animals that surround you.

I found this amazing photo online yesterday and thought I would share it with you.  What do you see?   You never know where an angel might be and/or show up to let you know they are present.  So, keep you eyes open because you might be surprised.

YOU CAN DO EET!!

I was listening to a video this morning by author Jeff Goins re becoming a writer and he stated and reminded us that “you are when you say you are.”  So, with that and in life, you can do anything you put your mind to.  If you want to write, write and start calling yourself a writer.  As Jeff Goins states, once you do this, everything changes.  If you want to be a doctor, lawyer, architect, archeologist, or just a better friend, wife, husband, father, mother, daughter, sister, brother, etc. – you just need to remember in order to become the person you want to become, you have to start believing in yourself, start acting and talking like you already are (why not – what do you have to lose) and with that comes change.  Change in your attitude, change in your outlook on life and the situations that surround you, and all for the better.

So, no matter what you want out of this thing called life, remember that you can do anything you set your mind to!  Do not let anyone tell you otherwise.  Life is short not to take those chances, go for what you want and know in you heart and soul that you can have it if you work hard enough for it.  You can do eet!!!

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog ~ Cheers and have a great week!

A GOOD READ

Books ~ does anyone remember what those are any more? An actual hardback or paperback book?  I certainly hope so.  I was on the subway this morning on my way into work when my friend I was with, Mike, and I noticed that there were an unusual number of people actually reading books on the subway.  It was nice to see that people have not forgotten about the book itself and not read everything online on a desktop, on an iPad, on your cell phone or a laptop.  Some things are better in person.  “She said with a wink and a smile!”  Like going to the library.  Remember that and remember having to check out a book.  Don’t get me wrong, the internet has its place (like blogging and talking with you!) and is good for most things, but not everything.  I love to actually have a good book in my hands to read or a good magazine like the Archeology magazine I subscribe to.  I’m a total history and archeology nerd.  I just can’t help it ~ I yam what I yam.

So, enjoy the internet for what it is, but remember, it’s not everything.  Keep some of those original books and magazines at home.  You’d be surprised how many people you have over will enjoy seeing them.

Have a great day my literary angels.Book Angel

BONDS

Our pets/babies take up a spot in our heart and soul that is undeniable.  Once you see them and let them into your life and heart that’s it, you’re finished.  In that moment, you have created a “bond” that will last forever.  I say this because I had to take my baby Caesar to the vet hospital today for overactive thyroid.  He is such a love that it broke my heart to leave him there.  But, I know in the long run this will help him and make him feel better.

I believe in my heart that pets are our angels and here to love on us unconditionally.  They are always there when you need them and always a lick or headbutt away from giving all the kisses you want and/or need.  They ask for nothing except to be loved in return.  If only they could tell us when they weren’t feeling well – it would be so much easier.

So, God Bless all the furry babies out there and keep them all safe.  I do pray they all find someone to love on them and treat them as they deserve to be treated, with unconditional love, and with lots of smiles which bring us and them happiness.

PETS HAVE ANGELS

TIME

“This too shall pass” and “All will be well and all in due time” are just a couple of the phrases with which I am most familiar.  While I “had” Cancer, I would always tell myself “This too shall pass” and would continue to have faith because I knew, I just knew deep down – it would be.  All would be well and all in due time.

I have the same feelings about certain things in life, like being out here in California.  I recently came back from a trip visiting family on the East Coast and while I had a great time, it was so hard to leave.  It was hard to leave and come back to the West Coast.  I do believe my husband and I are out here for a reason, though not to retire.  So, while we are here, we continue to meet and make new friends and live.  We go to new places and see new things.  He has been great taking me traveling.  Even if it’s just for the afternoon or weekend.  I am learning to stop, just live and just be happy.  So, no matter where you are in life, be happy where you are.  Everything happens for a reason and all works out in the end.  Life, at the end of the day is a “Gift” and, should not be taken for granted, but enjoyed at every turn.

Like all things in life, have a little faith, trust that everything happens for a reason (though it might be hard to do and/or understand – I get it), but try.  Put that smile back on your face, look up at those beautiful clouds and feel the presence of your Angels around you.  Believe “This too shall pass” and “All will be well and all in due time.”

With light and love ~ Enjoy your precious day.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY
