Happy Holidays

I Wonder...Featuring Designer Circle with Persefone, LoveMe Skins, Indulge Temptation!, Glow Designs, Pink Cherry

For those who love religion, or rather for anyone who
loves spirituality, this one goes out to you.

It is good to wonder and question all the things around us.
Blind faith is the thing that leads to such things as
being controlled or doing things in the name of religion
that are against anything that God or Christ would ever have
one human do to another.
Praise God, but if what you have been taught is to kill others
in the name of religion,
there is a huge problem. God is light and love and would
never ask us to kill random people in his name.

Ok off my soap box,
In the name of the season...
love one another.

The Reason I Sing...Featuring Shey, Jumo and Swank with Paisley Daisy and Semi-Precious

Everyone wants to be a star, to shine brightly and to be noticed.
Truth be told, the sky is already filled with stars.
You gotta shine brighter and be bigger than a star to be noticed.
We all think we are so special, so different, so unique.
But we all fit into categories, we all fall in line.
Every now and then someone seems to shine bright, seems to be bigger than life,
cudos to them,
but for the rest of us, who really do fill the sky,
shine as bright as we can, and light the earth..
remember, you may be one of many...
but you are still special.

The Reason I Sing

I'm Blue...Featuring Jumo

Speaking of blue...we all get blue every now and then.
Sometimes it's easy to kick and you get past it quickly.
Sometimes you don't and the blues stick around for too long.
This is how I deal with my blues.
I give myself 10 to 15 minutes to be blue about something,
then it's time to kick myself in the butt, get past it and think about something else.
Trust me, it isn't as easy as just saying it, and it takes work to
put your mind on something else and forget about what  makes you blue.
But, with practice you can start to walk away from those things and put your energy into something more positive.

This generation, which is being nicknames the butt hurt generation,
is use to or thinks that things should come right now, that you shouldn't have
to work for or wait for anything.

Anything worth it will require time, energy, pain and suffering.
If you are not ready to do the time, you won't get rewarded.
You will get just what you put into it,
and sometimes that is nothing.

By the Way...Featuring Designer Circle with Persefona, Pelle, Indulge Tmeptation, Culco, Missnoise, Pink Cherry, JK Style

Why is it that so many people abuse the one they are with
until they are gone?
Then when they aren't around anymore,
they can't think of anything else.
If you don't take care to appreciate the one you are with,
pretty soon you will be there alone.
Amazing how some people can't appreciate what they have til
it's gone.
Is it really that hard to see the good things in people...
help them patch up what is wrong
and basically be happy?

Winter Wonderland...Featuring Heth Haute Couture

I have many many great memories of winter and the holidays.
The thing about the holidays is that we build up a magical time
for ourselves, for our children...
The thing that makes these things so memorable is tradition.
This tradition dates back not long after the death of Christ.
So when I hear people trying to put their own values on others
it makes me sad.
I will tell you Merry Christmas.
I love Chrsitmas, I have fond memories and I believe that a tradition
this old should not be dictated by someone else feeling that I should
not be celebrating or wishing people a Merry Christmas.

I believe that this generation, possibly several generations back, have lost
their ability to respect others.
If you want to wish me Happy Holidays, I respect that and would
never try to change your views.
So if I can show respect for your views, why can't you show the same respect for me?
I don't care what anyone believes, as long as it
is not felt that I need to hold your same value.
But I will respect your feelings, and really if you expect people to respect your
views, you need to respect theirs in return.
That is the reason we have fought for freedom.
Why would you want to take that same freedom  from someone else?

Enough of my soapbox, and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
or whatever you may be celebrating.

Blank Space...Featuring Jumo and Art in Hats with Sonatta Morales

When I got married, ages ago..(divorced now)

I think I thought there needed to be a lot of drama to know 

if he loved me or not. 

I see my daughters doing the same thing, so much drama. 

But ya know, it is fun to make someone work for the 

relationship. 

You guys have to admit, being with a woman is never dull. 

So...I have a blank space...who wants to play?

Whiskey Lullaby...Featuring Swank with Virtual Diva, My Shoes, Outside the box!

She sits in her favorite place next to the fireplace and emerges herself in
the book that she can't seem to put down.
She wonders if they have a love that will last,
one that will break through the hardships and succeed.
They love each other so much.
How can they not put the things aside that don't really matter.
Engrossed in the book, she looses track of time.

Hold Back The River...Featuring Swank with Thor

We use to go on family vacations, and one of my favorite places we stayed
was at a sister in laws family cabin.
Things were simpler then,
all our kids were young and we were all pretty happy with our lives.
Now we have divorce, separation, death, and time building a bridge
between what was and what is now.

Sometimes in life we need to hold back the river of change,
Take the time to love each other and work on strengthening our relationships.
It is not easy to keep families together these days.

I hope you are able to hold back the river and
spend as much time as you can with the ones you love.

Stronger...Featuring Art in Hats with E.V.E.

It took me a long time to get to the point where I was
ok being on my own.
When I was younger, I thought I needed a guy to complete me.
Then when I got divorced,
I thought I needed to replace that relationship ASAP.
Then as I matured and grew in my own skin,
I realized that it doesn't mean you have to be lonely when you are alone.
I have taken myself on more vacations than I can count.
Met a ton of amazing people.
See the world, and never felt lonely.
Sometimes its lonelier being with someone than being alone.
You are stronger than you think.
Stand tall...and show your strength.

Hero...Featuring Designer Circle with 1 Hundred and ZOZ

I asked if I was pretty, you said no.
I asked if I was fat, you said yes of course.
I asked if you wanted to be with me forever, you said no.
I asked if you would cry if I walked away, you said no.
I have heard too much
and need to leave you.
As I waked away..
you grabbed my arm and told me to stay.

You are not pretty, you are beautiful.
The only thing fat or big about you is your heart.
I do not want to be with you forever,
I NEED to be with you forever.
And if you walked away I would not cry,
I would DIE!

Nothing Stays the Same...Featuring Art in Hats with Lilith's Den

November the 4th through November the 14th, 2015

Nothing stays the same. Eventually we will all leave, it's not that we want to,
but everyone will leave this earth. It's just a matter of time.
We all lie, learn, change...
it is inevitable.
So while you are here, who do you want to be?

Hello...Featuring Designer Circle with Pelle, Persefona, LoveMe Skins, Pink Cherry, Indulge Temptation!, Baubles! by Phe, LX Essentials, MOoH!, Icon of Styles

Time heals all wounds, but it does not help you forget.

Sometimes its more than you can possibly get past. 

I know, I have been there. 

I suffered from PTSD for years. 

I have been through some really tough times and some really traumatic 

things have passed through my door. 

I thought if I talked about it enough it would work itself out. 

But it didn't. 

I found it hard to get past some things, and even when I thought I dealt with them,

all it took was an event to bring it all up again. 

Other people could trigger something and I would be reliving everything all over again. 

So...I found help. 

I am almost finished with Trauma Conversion Therapy, 

it has changed my life. 

I hope if you are struggling and can't get past something...

find help. 

It does not mean you are weak, it just means you need help to get to the other side of it.
