Goodbye to Another Year

G O O D  B Y E  2 0 1 1 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I am so glad that 2011 is coming to a close.  The first part of the year was fabulous.  I got my kitchen and patio remodeled, the cars of my dreams, meeting my current hairstylist (you are a peach, Janine), my husband turned 40, and I received a pay raise after 3 years from my job.  The second part of the year was a nightmare, with the exception of finding a church that I love, having a visit from a dear friend from Philadelphia, and starting my first blog.  I had issues with my extended family and I lost the job that I received a pay raise from in November.  There is always a reason for everything.  If I hadn’t lost my job, would I have started a blog?  Probably not.  I am taking this free time to analyze my thoughts and randomly write about things that are most dear to me.  As this year comes to a close, and the previous 37 years, I am looking forward to 2012.  A new year to get a second chance, a new year to get it right, and a blessing to be alive to see another year.

I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New Years, and to all of my blog readers around the world; Russia, Germany, Colombia, Malaysia, and of course the United States.  Stay safe, and if you drink, drink responsibly.  Take this time to reflect and love one another.  Signing off for the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blessings!!!!!!!!

Happy New Years 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                               . Blessings to All,  It has been a long time coming for this post. The last time I blogged was back in May 2014.  Fast forward to January 1, 2015.  I am very happy to see another year.  I am so glad that 2014 is in the past.  Today is a time to look forward to new opportunities.  On my agenda this year is to get better and wiser.  I am on the path of eliminating baggage out of my life. I am very much interested in the minimalist movement.  A minimalist voluntarily simplifies their life.  It can include buying less things, reducing consumption, working less, and even eliminating toxic things from your life.  I always admired the Japanese culture.  They practice minimalism; however some may argue that is due ...

Is Blogging Dead?

Hello To All. I have been missing in action from this blog since 2015.  I am the type of person that gets bored with things quite quickly.  I have a question for you today.  Is blogging dead?  There are millions of blogs out there covering everything from fashion, food, homes, wine, and etc.  With the fashion piece, Instagram has taken over the need to post a  blog about what a person is wearing and what the audience should buy. However, is it quite necessary to share with the world everything that a person does in their life. I am signing off with this open ended question; should you leave things to the  imagination?  Ponder on that question; will you. Until next time, many, many, many, blessings!

Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel

Good Evening All, This week has been rather hectic.  Dealing with family issues and job interviews at the same time.  All is good and the Creator is in charge.  I had purchased a Dooney and Bourke bag about two months ago to store my keys, ipod and identification when I workout at the gym. The bag wasn't a great choice and I end up exchanging the bag for a Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel in gray. At first I didn't really like the Janine Satchel because of the size.  I love big bags; however since I have lost over 20 pounds, big bags are starting to overwhelm my stature.  I wanted a gray bag because I wear a lot of gray outfits and have been unable to find the perfect gray bag.  There are many different shades of gray that tend to be a little taupe or have a bluish undertone.  This bag is more on the heather gray side with the beige vachetta accent. It is the perfect bag for the warmer months.  The leather reminds me of the Prada S...
