The Thing I Don't Talk About

I have been very real with what I share on here....and today will be no different. It feels a little strange to be opening up about this on such a public forum....although I have never really kept it a secret, I just don't talk about it much.  I would say approximately 2 years ago I began my journey of trying to improve my quality of life (and those of my husband and children) when dealing with my PMDD. I tried supplements and some prescription drugs....at the time they did not seem to "fix" the problem, in fact some of those...

I #*%!ing Love You

Our business is considered a lifestyle business...which means we do our business as part of our life. We share our products but we also give you a peek into our daily lives. Not everyone wants that kind of exposure...but we really enjoy it. It makes our "job" fun and the amount of compassion and support we receive from everyone (our customers and those we meet at events who are customers-to-be...lol) is unbelievable.  One statement we get a lot from people we talk to is this, "I could never work with my spouse." I find this baffling....I mean, is it easy...

Music, A Reflection of Self

Do you have an "anthem"? I am part of a Facebook group, and this discussion came up, and while I do have songs that speak to me, I don't think I could choose just one song to describe my whole life.  I love all kinds of music....and I know lots of people say that and not really mean it...lol And I do have some music that I don't listen to. But I like anything from old country, pop, hard rock, opera, jazz, new country, soft rock, rap, reggie, heavy metal, I enjoy music from every era....from Justine Bieber, Taylor Swift,...

Hear Me Out, Why I Love Twilight

28% is a horrible rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But I am in the 28%. I am embarrassed that I am....but I shouldn't be....since I am clearly not alone....not a huge following but not alone.   One thing I love about it is that the vampires sparkle. I know that is so cheesy, but I like it. To think that they hide because of their beauty....not because the sun can hurt them, but because they are scared of the humans hurting them. This particular group of vampires choose not to get their substance from human blood, they choose to live among regular...

I Need A Hug, Maybe?

I Need A Hug, Maybe?

A couple weeks ago I talked about how I have changed as I grow older. That one was about my new found love of animals.  Today I want to talk about hugs. I know so many people LOVE hugs...some love them from everyone and anyone, some people love giving them and receiving them. You are not my people. hahahaha I have a really hard time with physical touch. I have always been very particular whom I choose to share my physical self with, even just hugs. I cannot pinpoint exactly when it started but it has been an ongoing problem...
