My dad likes to say that expression often and I remember sometimes hearing that would only further bother me and I would want to just roll my eyes because I would think to myself, sometimes it is just not that easy. But why is it that we want to hold on to feelings of frustration,… Continue reading Let It Go
Whenever my husband and I get home after an evening out we usually see our little bulldog Biggie coming toward us to say hello the minute we open the door. The funny thing is he does quite the opposite when he’s been mischievous. It’s a great way to know what he’s been up to. The… Continue reading The Beast Strikes Again
My husband and I saw the movie “I Am” tonight and loved it, it’s an excellent movie that reminds you to reflect on how it is that you want to live your life and treat people and also to ask yourself where your heart is. What truly matters in life is not competition, greed, and winning…it’s… Continue reading Excellent Movie: “I Am” directed by Tom Shadyac
It’s pretty amazing to me how one small little thought in our minds has the capacity to spread out all over the place like a meticulously created web that traps you in. My husband and I were talking about it this morning and he gave me a perfect example of exactly this kind of thought process. He said it’s like this Zen cast he had been… Continue reading Wandering Thoughts
It’s been a busy few days since I last posted and we got back from vacation. What I’ve been struggling with most is feeling so tired at times. Yesterday was my first day back at school and at the end of the day as much as I wanted to get started on a list of things I need… Continue reading Understanding Limitations and A Good Attitude
Today my husband and I baptized my cousin’s daughter, Miranda, with her boyfriend/partner. My mom and cousin did such an exceptional job with the decorating, organizing, and food. I’ll share some pictures tomorrow, especially the ones of me dressing Miry because I have nearly no experience with this and thankfully Miry was very cooperative with… Continue reading Godparents
After a long day of travel my husband and I got home last night at 10pm, exhausted and so happy to walk through our door and get that feeling of home. I can’t even explain it but maybe some of you have felt it, it’s like a loving hug. Our flight from Paris to Los Angeles… Continue reading Traveling And Appreciating What You Have
My dogs are barking! We have done so much walking and exploring between yesterday and today that my calves are sore. The good thing is we’ve also been taking a lot of breaks in between and I’ve even napped on a cobblestone floor on the Ile St. Louis overlooking the Seine River while my husband… Continue reading Napping On A Cobblestone Floor and More Explorations
Figured out how to connect to our hotel’s free WiFi, woohoo! It’s Sunday here in Paris and my husband and I are relaxing in our room before starting the day. We’re staying at this really cute and Eco friendly hotel named Eiffel Seine which is like 5 minutes walking distance to the Eiffel Tower. It’s… Continue reading Connected, in Paris
I have a feeling Biggie sensed we were up to no good and would be leaving him at the vet/boarding place because this past week he had the mischief in overdrive. I like how my husband puts it, “it’s not that he’s being bad it’s that he’s not doing what I want him to do”.… Continue reading Terrible Two’s…Of The Bulldog Kind
