2019: The Year of Breaking Free

Image
Well, kiddies it's 2019!  I don't know about all of you, but the last three years has been an endless loop of the SSDD. And quite frankly, I'm sick of it. So for the new year, I have set my conscious intentions to break free from that loop and be more productive.  It's not a resolution which we all know never work out.  No, this is much bigger.  Much more solid.  It is intent .  And intent is much more doable than any resolution.  Even the words have different energies.  Try it.  Resolution.  Intent.  Notice the difference in the energies? My inspiration to set these particular intentions comes from the TV show Lucifer .   Long story short, Lucifer and his brother, Amenadiel, came into the realization that their Father was not controlling them or their lives.   That in truth, they were the ones holding themselves back, creating a loop of the same shit different day scenario.   Interestingly enough, Lu...

Resolutions for 2016

Image
​ Okay folks it's a new day in a new year and yours truly has broken her own rules in making resolutions and decided to actually make a few this year.   Blame it on lack of sleep, but I thought that maybe--just maybe--I could do it. So with that said I, the Empress of the known & unknown Universesâ„¢ (self-proclaimed!) hereby resolves the following... I resolve not to refer, infer, state, imply or look at anyone as if they were an idiot. Unless they are being idiots, then I'm obligated to call them out on it.  Due to legalities of said resolutions I am prompted to declare a disclaimer: I got a new Thesaurus for Christmas. And no, that's not one of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park!  I resolve to stop asking peopl e one particular question, and that question being how stupid can you be? After years of careful observation, I've come to the conclusion that asking such a question would prompt some into thinking it was a challenge.  This in turn would hav...

New Year's Eve Traditions Around The World

Image
Ringing in the New Year is one of the few holiday celebrations that is marked in nearly every country in the world. International New Year’s festivities may look remarkably similar on television, with large crowds of people gathered in central locations in countries around the globe. Though billions watch the Times Square celebration worldwide, many countries have their own traditions when it comes to welcoming the new year.  However, many countries also have their own unique and sometimes offbeat traditions to welcome in the New Year.   Find out where revelers traditionally eat 12 green grapes at midnight, throw furniture out the window, offer white flowers to a goddess, and more.  Below is a list of how people celebrate in nations across the globe. Russia : One New Year’s custom in Russia is to write a wish for the upcoming year on a piece of paper, then to burn the paper and place the ashes in a glass of champagne, which needs to be consumed right before...

New Year’s Twin Babies Born In Separate Years

Such a Cool News Story!  Just had to share it!!! As people around the world partied their way into the new year, two mothers gave birth to two of the last babies of 2013 and two of the first babies of 2014.  While born just minutes apart, their twin babies entered the world in two different years. On Dec. 31, 2013, at 11:58 p.m., Yaleni Santos Tohalino gave birth to baby girl Lorraine Yaleni Begazo, who weighed at 6 pounds, 4.9 ounces, at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, in Washington, D.C.

Pondering 2013: Part 1

Image
As 2013 quickly comes to an end, I am taking with me all the things I have learned throughout the year.    As in previous years, I learned quite a bit about myself.    Well, maybe not so much learned as finally accepted. There’s no going back and changing what I did, didn’t do, say or didn’t say.    I can only say I’m sorry for being such a dip-shit and hope that one day the people in my life will forgive me.     Taking the first step, I forgave myself.    And I work each day to stay in the energy of forgiveness.     Which has helped me become stronger.     That strength led to me cutting family ties.    As I sit here writing this, I’m reminded of a scene from What Dreams May Come .    You know the one, where Robin Williams’ character finds his wife who just committed suicide?    Like that character, I fought my way through heaven in order to be with people wh...

Christmas and New Year's Begins TODAY!

Image
Yep!  Yep! Yep! I've decided not to wait until January 1st to begin my New Year.   And too,  I decided not to wait until Christmas to give myself a few much needed gifts.  I figure why put off one or two weeks that I can do today?  Right? Seeing how it's been years in the making, I resolved to cut a dozen or so stragglers ( Most of which are blood related ) out of my life once and for all.    With the exception of my three children, everyone else in that so called family is hereby gone from my life.   Not that they will notice mind you.  Seeing how I am the invisible woman and all.  A Nobody!  And yes, I have actually been told I am nobody in that family.  More than once or twice!   After 50 plus years of trying to bond with these mindless and clueless assholes, and trying to be a "family,"  I've decided to say so long, fare thee well, adieu, bye-bye...GOOD RIDDANCE once and for all!   Again, they won'...
