Handmade Cards

Let's admit it, life gets hard from time to time. It also gets boring, over worked, stressed out but we also love, hug and scream of pure happiness. When I'm just feeling calm, with creativeness roaming around my brain...I lean forward and make some handmade cards. I do other things but this is my favorite.
Now, these cards I made for two friends who were in the hospital. They're ok now but these cards did brighten up their day.
I can't wait for the weekend to continue doing some more. We have one special holiday right around the corner.

Rearranging my little world.

Hi Sunshines!!!!

GREAT NEWS!!!

Well, not only will I be changing my blog a bit but I am also rearranging the furnitures, colors and all the sweet little things in my bedroom. I had many ideas but pin pointed to even creating my own little closet in my no-closet-bedroom. And that is without buying a new closet. Wish me luck on this. I'm always looking for ideas but other peoples ideas usually inspire me to get even more creative.

Since a little girl, I always went towards the arts & crafts sections, the create and redesign or from scratch design something from paper to cloths. I always stared a painting because they always say something. I look at a living to feel the coziness. And scrolling around online I found these two wonderful sites. Now, I love the color red. I mean, I AM IN LOVE with the color red and never thought of painting a furniture red… you know in fear of 'OMG what did I do'…but it seems like I should take a chance in. So I will. I will have before and after pics so you can see it.

Thanks to RED FURNITURE and BLOGGER for sparking up some ideas. :-)

Thanks for reading, more to come!!

Another Silent Death.

Just because we tend to be smiling all day doesn't mean our nights are romantic.

Because I care a lot doesn't mean we don't feel any other way.

My happiness does bring tears not of joy sometimes.

And because its all open in the silence of our comfortability, its scares even the darkness.

RIP Robin Williams. 

You are not alone! and you and you!!

Stay Stong,

YES YOU ARE!!

You are an amazing person. Just because you had a downfall in life doesn't mean you can't stand up again. You were strong enough for yesterday's news now imagine how strong you'll become for tomorrow's agenda! Keep going!!!

Enjoy This Moment

Life is not that bad if you don't focus on those negatives all the times. We have sunshines, we have rains, thunders, animals, love, clouds. We have food, drinks and places we can enjoy with our friends and family. We get our alone time from time to time, and if you have a place to sleep then by all means your richer than you think. Don't mourn on yesterdays bad news, enjoy today because it does bring something good. Just stop and pay close attention and you'll find the goodness in it, or maybe even within you. Don't rush into the day to finish, enjoy the time of today. Tomorrow we don't know what's going to happen. So enjoy this moment.

I like this picture because I love the rain. The rain calms me down and it remind me of the night, right before bed. A time to unwind, relax and just be home. No worries because our flowers are getting watered and some of us are splashing on the puddles. I love rain. I'll pick rain than a hot summer day.

Prove Yourself to Yourself

Good afternoon Sunshines!!!

You know many of us need to be in a relationship to feel loved, or feel we're doing something. I know you know your already loved but when it comes to "proving" your love or worth to someone ehhhhhhh makes me cringe. I mean, it does take time for us to know who's real or not BUT do you think that proving every now and then about who you are needs to be repeated? Do you think that staying in a relationship that belittles you (and we should know some signs maybe this small article helps: CLICK HERE), you need to re-establish that you are worth it? Well, my opinion, NO! 
Why in the world would you accept by staying with someone who doesn't give a 10cents about what you really are about. It goes to females and males, we all know that it goes both ways. If someone doesn't respect you then why would YOU THINK they will change because your staying, no. It doesn't work like that. They keep doing it and getting to do as they please because you are staying…showing them you are accepting that negative behavior.  

Yes, I know, I can hear some of you saying…"But I "love" him/her." 
Read this clearly:::: You may "love" this person BUT does this person "love" you? 
Now repeat that! Your telling me that those negative actions, those negatives words, are coming from a person who loves you? If you "love" this person you wouldn't hurt them right? of course not. But now turn the table, ask him/her that question and I bet you that you already know the answer.
So why forcing that person to see that you are worth it, why forcing life to give you this person that is literally pushing themselves AWAY from you. Let it go!!! LET IT GO!!! Your worth it. I know it and you know. The person who knows it will treat you with the respect you need in life just for that 2am call.

Let it go and walk away. 

I know there may be obstacles standing in the way, maybe kids, Hey I been there. Walk away! Your kids are worth it. And the longer you stay the more your kids will be taught how to treat you and others. Don't like the sound of that? Do yourself a favor, do what you have to do and keep moving forward. 

YOUR WORTH IT!!!

Change It Yourself

Good Afternoon Lovely People,

A lot of us complain so much that it becomes a stress factor to others. I mean, you could complain but are you doing it because you're tired of trying or because you do not want to keep trying…and want to pretend you are?

Confusing right? Well then lets make up our minds. Do you want to change your path? … Then stop opening doors that lead you to no-where. Or probably will lead you back to where you don't want to be. It all takes time. Everything takes time. if you want to rush it, then it won't be exactly what you need. And you'll be back in square one, complaining, again.

Your life is not the same as another person. My reason to continue is not the same as yours. You need to find yours and let it give you the strength you need to continue to do what you need to do. If yesterday was a day of people telling you no and doors being closed, that doesn't mean tomorrow it will be the same. Your attitude towards yourself, towards life should stay positive and help you know that tomorrow won't be the same.
Your yesterday may have been living in a dark place but that doesn't mean your future will be like that, today your seeing new things. Enjoy them. Feel their scene, and have that little Faith grow. While your in the middle of everything, let it be. Enjoy the beautiful things that life offers, that we humans usually take advantage of, and you'll notice a peaceful feeling. 
There's no shame of complaining, or where you been…TODAY is the day for you to tweak that negative feeling of complaints and walk with a humble heart and a mind set of "I Can". Just because you been through hell and back doesn't give you a right to complain everyday and night. Change that thought and work hard on yourself. So a year from now, or 5, you can say you been there done that AND now I am here. In a better place. No need to be rich or have tons of clothes…but make it inspiring that with all those complaints you had about your life. You still manage to take control and make a life of what you need to be an inspiration to another person.

Ahhhhhhh, its kinda hard to do, I know. But its all worth the try because it becomes a habit…A habit of goodness and within time, you'll see and feel the difference. Go ahead, say your story and watch me turn it around in words that will make you want to do it live.

Keep The Faith

Good Morning Beautiful humans,

I am glad to be back at blogging. I have had a rocky couple of months trying to remake this blog but somehow it is not doing what I want it to do. Well I do hope that by the end of this post you can find yourself more at ease. From what ever your thinking, going through or trying to do/make…remember that everything comes at its time. And if is not here or any doors haven't opened for you and you seem like your waiting for a long time… Then love yourself. Love yourself in a way that while you are waiting, you are preparing yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically. You can't just sit and wait. There's a lot of things you can be learning and visiting places at low cost around your city. While your busy growing you need to keep your Faith. That everything is going to come in your life at the right time. Think about it, when was the last time you were so lost and someone or something came into your life and changed you? It could be a small change, it could have helped you to think in a better way, or maybe could have helped you to realize that not everyone or everything is the same. That little change made a great impact on you at the right time. Now, if life gave you that, why not have a little Faith and other  greater things could come by, into your life.
We need to keep thinking positive. Its ok to go back into the thinking negative but always jump back to the side that will bring a smile to you. Don't expect for no one to make you think positive, YOU can do that yourself. For instance, if someone gets you angry, mad or sad, you're giving them control of yourself emotionally. Take that control back, whether you are in a deep dark hole or in the middle of a beautiful garden…Take control of your own self and keep the Faith.

Well, I could keep going but since its my first blog back and I need to keep updating. I'll let you all marinate on this. If there is anyone trying to reach me, subscribe, email, follow me and I will get back.

Thanks everyone for passing by. Remember, happy jolly thoughts!!! :-)
