sandy....go away....

hey all! i hope your week is off to a grand ol start!
 

mine has been quite crazy.

we are battling the winds and rain of sandy the hurricane.

i just wanted to pop on and just say

i am thinking of everyone during this craziness.

i hope that all of you are safe and warm and free from

the wrath of this storm.

while listening to the news the past few days, i can not believe

what mother nature is capable of doing.

my heart truly goes out to everyone on the east coast who is without heat, a home,

or lost a friend, relative or even a pet in this madness.

i wish them all strength and blessings to see light at the end of this.

i awoke at 1:30 tuesday morn, to a HUGE tree branch down in my front yard,

my fall wreath missing from the front door, the gutters hanging off the house

AND my electrical box ripped off the house, oh and a LIVE

electrical wire in my front yard. my internet cable was out, and

luckily for us, we had heat and power. many people in the area are still without.

boo.

not fun on any day, or halloweenie either.

so here is to everyone being safe and sound and enjoying your last day of october.

blessings,

and just a few pics for you...

i have never seen anything so crazy before...

 

 

 

 

 

i think we all get it.....be safe, warm and hug your loved ones and
be thankful for everything you have!
xoxo



rainy saturday!

hi friends!

yikes, it has been such a long time!!

i hope all is well in your neck of the woods!

we are all good here, thankfully!

just enjoying our little lives and trying to prepare for the upcoming holidays.

oye. after halloween passes, you know how quickly

the holidays approach.

i am a lover of all things holiday tho. i stinkin cant wait to decorate the house, the mantle, buy the

christmas tree. so much fun!

but before we get into all that, let's just say happy halloween!

is anyone dressing up as something fabulous this year?

i am not. i seriously love halloween, but i have been so busy with

everyday life that i have not even had time to think about it.

it is raining and cold here and all i want to do is cuddle on the couch with the

fireplace crackling, drink hot cider, and snuggle with the fur balls.....

life. is. good.

leading into this holiday season, i just want to share my sincere thank you to the universe and god for

making some of my dreams come true!

i quit my yucky old job.

i have some really great projects in the works.

my daughter and i have been EXTREMELY busy doing

THIS

i am truly just enjoying life. and the most important thing:

i am happy. like crazy happy.

so many times we get caught up in the hum drums of life, we forget

what true happiness means. or what it even

consists of....but it is such a GREAT feeling.

i guess, what i am saying, is dont sweat the small stuff.

everything happens for a reason (whether good or bad, unfortunately), enjoy life

to the fullest. every stinkin day.

tell your loved ones you love and care about them.

smile.

at.

everyone.

you.

see.

when you open your heart up to new things, ideas, etc. you will

see how everything just falls into place.

i also have to share a secret with you.

i have been listening to a positive affirmation cd. by

louise hay.

it really DOES work.

in my life :)
