Grateful

Just had to take a moment and think of everything that I am grateful for. Though the last few months I have been very busy, I am proud of myself. Grateful that I have the strength to get through those not-so-good days and push through with my writing. Got so much done with my book and I am grateful for that too. Grateful to those who have been patient and understanding with me. It has been rough, but I am still striving to work on my dreams. So grateful and thankful for my family. My two kids are my biggest supporters, and their love and support are everything to me. I will continue to have faith and keep on working on myself. I am grateful I have made it this far. At the beginning of doing this blog and writing a book, I was always self-doubting. So again, I say I am proud of myself. Grateful for it all. Shoutout to those who supported me on here and took the time to read my blog. I appreciate it.

Just wanted to let that out. Still a work in progress. 🖤🧡💙🤎💛💚❤💜💕

Blessings and Love.

Thank you for visiting my blog!

Guilty Pleasure!

02/10/2024Prompts, thoughtsBlog, Foodie, Guilty Pleasures, Hungry, JustWrite, life, Love, thoughts, Write PromptsRay'Elaine

When you hear guilty pleasure what comes to your mind? Is it T.V shows, movies, video games, shopping, music, food, a drink or four, alone time (sleep), or a person. Having a Guilty pleasure means that you have to have something that is restricted, and might be labeled as bad for you, but of course you don’t care. You want what you want right?

I have some guilty pleasures from the list above. The first one would be alone time, or extra sleep. I like to be alone in my own word chilling. Sometimes in my bed with a good book just relaxing. Which sometimes is hard to do with kids(Sometimes I sneak away in a quiet place of the house to get away, LOL).

The second is T.V. shows and movies I like to indulge in action packed shows and sometimes ones that is filled with drama. Shows that keeps me on edge.

Third is food. I am a foodie, love, love, love food. When it comes to food, I say it is a guilty pleasure when you are eating something sweet, fatty, moist, and juicy, fried and ohhh so delicious.

My favorites are Philly-Steak and Cheese over some nice and crispy fries, with pepper jack and cheddar cheese smothered over it all (Mmmm so good). I love fries especially with cheese sauces. Or a jalapeno bacon cheeseburger between two glazed doughnuts, which I have a taste for right now but tonight just a bacon cheeseburger and fries would do. And another one for me is all the banana split topping over cinnamon French toast, extra ice cream!

Whew now I’m hungry LOL. Time to make dinner…..

Those are my guilty pleasures.

So, my blog peeps, do you have any guilty pleasures? Are you a foodie? Do you like things that are no good for you? Your thoughts!

Blessings and Love!

This has been a favorite since I was little kid. Laffy Taffy is my second favorite and I love most of the flavors. Gummie bears/worms are next and the sour ones too. Of course, chocolate!!! Jolly Ranchers is another favorite, those are my favorite candies. What is yours?

Failure.?

Hello all! How is it going?

I am thinking about life overall and I have been thinking about the things that I have failed at in life and wanted to open up about how I deal with those failures. So I have a question my blog peeps, and this can be used as a writing prompt if you are a writer and like to do writing prompts. The question is below as well as my response.

Do you deal with failure positively?

When it comes to failure and I, we are never on the same page. So, to answer this question I do not positively deal with failure. When I fail at something I am usually in an unpleasant mood. I take it to heart, and I feel like I hurt myself when I fail at something. I kind of shut down for a while and just be in a funk. I feel like it takes a while for me to fully process that I have failed. It is not a good feeling. I then start to question everything I have done leading to it. Feel like I must work so much harder for me not to fail. Failure I know happens from time to time life is not easy and pursuing your passions and your dreams there is a chance of failure. Me knowing this I still don’t like failing and feel like I am letting myself down or others. I know it is not okay for me to feel this way, but I do. Something I try to work on and know that everything will not always go my way. Failure is a part of life. Some of us need to accept that (ME). Learning to take things how they are when they arrive. Yeah, me and my Failures do not get along (LOL),

How do you deal with failure? How do you move past it? Care to share?

Please feel free to like, comment, and share!!!

Blessings and Love

The State Fair

Bloganuary writing prompt

Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

View all responses

In the state that I live in the state fair is a huge thing (well probably in any state). I live in Minnesota and have been living here for about 25 years, and I have never visited the state fair. I always talk about and say that I want to go but have never gone. It seems like it is interesting and a lot of fun especially if you’re with family and friends. Of course, being a foodie, I would love to go and eat some of the delicious-looking foods that are at the state fair. Hopefully, soon I will finally go.

Have you been to the state fair in your state?

A Singing Clock!

Daily writing prompt

Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

View all responses

When I was 8 years old, I had this chicken singing clock. It used to sing ‘Hay baby wake up and come dance with me” then would make a loud ass-wailing noise. I used to carry it around with me all the time and set the alarm just to keep hearing the song. What became of it was a family member smashed and destroyed it. They were always annoyed by it lol and I am telling yall I used to play it back-to-back daily and sometimes even during the night. I honestly think about that clock often SMH. I might think it is annoying nowadays. But I was attached to it when I was younger.

Playtime!

Daily writing prompt

Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?

View all responses

Yes, I do try to get in some play time during my daily life. Sometimes I like to go to the arcade and play games. Sometimes I feel like a big kid while enjoying time with my kids. Taking my kids to the park or going on a walk is good downtime. Family fun days with games and snacks. There are times when I like to play my PlayStation 4 to keep my mind off things. It is good to add in playtime/fun into your day. Let off some stress and let your hair down. Also, dancing and music are playtime to me as I can get lost in it.
