Happy New Years Y'all!!!!

My New Years wish for You & me

“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances without own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”

Joseph Campbell,  The Power of Myth  

Best Compliment EVER!!!!

I may not...

Have everything I WANT but I sure do have everything 

I NEED!!!

Thank you Universe

& 

My beloved Friends😘

Most of everything that was wrong with yesterday is right today

Bah humbug!!!!

I know I'm not supposed to say this so stop reading if you don't like a person that's is NOT a Christmas lover ...

I am NOT. 

I hate that people can only muster being generous & kind one day a year.
I hate fake kindness - really fake anything (besides mascara & lip gloss)

I have never been good with it but as I get older I really find it offensive.

I have a very small family and it's been bumped and bruised beyond belief over the years so we all have Holiday "issues" but I can't stomach, for hours at a time, pretending we get along much less enjoy each other's company.
My mother is the worst with this and I have a hard time joining in the pretense, I always excuse myself and have again this year, which has made her mad but these days what doesn't piss her off?!?!?

I have many good friends that I have been able to share joy with but this time of year I try to keep my shit contained so as not to ruin their fun which makes for a VERY quite holiday for Moi.  It's only 72hrs and now only about 24hrs left so I know I can get through it but it doesn't make it anymore fun!  At least there are some good basketball games on tomorrow and I'm sure I can keep myself occupied with making jewelry & catching up on missed shows or a movie or two... 

New Years is a different story & this year I'm actually looking forward to as this Year has been a personal growth year and I actually weathered it well all things considered I came out on top and then some with my New Job.  I have an awesome tattoo (cover up really) that I'm getting starting next week that I'm More than excited about, good friends to celebrate with on New Years & a very fun Birthday planned!! 

So I just need to suck up then next 24 plus hours.

Well I feel better already and just because I have holiday "issues" doesn't mean you should NOT have a wonderful & cheery holiday with you and yours...

Off to do some leg lifts, crunches & push ups & my nails... that always makes me feel better!

I can DO This!!

Cheers y'all

Just can't seem to shake free of these holiday Blues...

I have MUCH to be thankful for...

I need to stay focused on that and the rest will follow.

I got the Job!!!!!!

Off to celebrate with awesome friends!!!!

Sinking deeper...

Past meets future ...

Snap out of it, ME....

Gotta love the Holiday Blues......

NOT!!!

And has been....

        Just need to breathe & get to the           next day 

It's been a minute...

Feeling blessed...

Finally locked it in, right after Xmas this bad boy will be inked with love on my body ...

Probably will be my last major piece and I could NOT be happier with my choice!!

About sums up the way I feel about Christmas....

      

Two thoughts for tonight

#1:

#2

Thankful

I belly laugh almost everyday.

My dog loves me.

I have some Wonderful, Caring & Real Friends.

I'm in the process of repairing a very important relationship.

I get to enjoy good music & make cool stuff.

I am Thankful.

Cheers Y'all!

😘✌️

One day...

Can't, Won't rush Magic💫...

One of the few things I CAN be patient about 💕

I've learned that lesson at least.💋

Good night...

Done

I refuse to crumple...

"You are a fucking unicorn. You are a fucking unicorn and all this time, you have been trying to be a horse. You very carefully hid your horn every time you stepped in the room, pretending that you were more horselike and able to do horse-like things but what you were really doing was repressing the best parts of you. It’s simple: unicorns are unicorns and horses are horses. One can’t be like the other—it just doesn’t work that way. When you hide who you are, truly, madly, deeply, at the core of your being and try to fit into some other idea of you, you start to dull; you shine less. Your horn starts to lose it’s power because it’s not being infused with everything it needs to stay alive and before you know it, your heart is crumpling in your hands."

Annnnnnd scene 😘

I'm a happy Mom

I Am

“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart.

 I am, I am, I am.

~ Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

"Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, the only fact we have. It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death--ought to decide, indeed, to earn one's death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life."
