Good Memories on my mind!!!

Memories

Memories the good and the bad. Mostly the good ones though, just sitting here thinking. I am thinking of the good moments and memories me, my kids, and my mom has shared. It has been 23 days since my mom has passed and it seems unreal still. I sometimes still grab my phone ready to call her. This is so hard. Now all I have left is the great memories of her. She always had a beautiful smile on her face. These memories I will hold onto forever. Thinking of the good times sometimes helps when I am down. I love all our great memories and missing you mom. My mom My lil GLO, my Gloria your memory lives on. I will always have you in my heart.

Let it all out. Hope you all are having a better night.

Thank you for reading. Love, Peace, Happiness, and Blessings

It’s a Writing Session

12/28/2024thoughtsAuthor, Blog, Chilling, Faith, Feelings, Feels, Get It Done, Happiness, happy, HappyWriting, JustWrite, life, Love, MyThoughts, Ray'Elaine, Vibes, Write LifeRay'Elaine

Hello all

I am in an okay mood tonight. I am back to writing, and it has been some weeks since I have. I haven’t been in the mood for anything lately. Besides that, I am writing and doing a little editing for one book and also going to be writing more poetry.

Don’t know what was going on with me, but I am grateful that tonight I am writing, and it’s going great. I am currently working on three books (Whew!) and I love it when I am in a zone and the writing comes so naturally. Yes, pen is flowing honey. Taking a break soon to make dinner for the kiddos and get them ready for school tomorrow. The rest of the night is dedicated to writing. Feel like I have been slipping, so I have to get it done.

I am also working on some new content for my blog. I’m so excited about what I have going on, but it is still a work in progress.

How is the day/night going for you? Any new goals? Writing Goals? Any plans for tonight?

Have a good night, all.

Blessings and Love

Thank you for reading.

Confession II

Daily writing prompt

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

This is a good question. Though I was uncertain about writing and sharing this, I decided to just do it. So here goes. I feel like this is also a confession post.

So, about 17/18 years ago when I was 18 and 19 years old, I felt that I was in the wrong body. I felt like I was not myself and didn’t like that feeling at all. I then started to think about transitioning into a man. Yes, I was thinking about being a transgender male. When I was a teenager, my mom would have a fit about me wanting to shop in the boys’ section. My brothers would be mad at me for stealing their clothes, lol. Seriously, boxers, jeans, etc.

When I say this was on my mind constantly, it was. I was always doing research about it at the time. Looking up different surgeries to have and what types of hormone pills I would have to take. I also was looking into therapy about the whole thing. Of course, the cost of it all.

I think about this a lot now days because it was something that I strongly wanted to do. There was fear in place at the time, thinking of the negatives about the matter and what my family would think. I think about the what-ifs of the matter if I would have gone through with it.

Sometimes, I still feel like I am in the wrong body and wish I had gone through with it. Now, I just accept that I didn’t and try to be okay with my decision, though I really am not.

Well, that is something people do not know about me…..Confessions lol

I had to get that off my chest. It has really been on my mind lately like crazy. Questioning myself like should I have done it or not? Well, that’s it. Have a good one!

Of course, a little vent session with a great writing prompt.

Do you have any regrets? What is something most people don’t know about you? Care to share?

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

Confession I

Communication!

12/11/2024Prompts, thoughtsBlog, Communication, family, Feelings, friends, JustWrite, life, Love, Overthinker, Ray'Elaine, Relationship, Thinker, thoughts, Write PromptsRay'Elaine

Hello All,

I’m doing some writing prompts tonight and also getting other writing goals done. A writing prompt that I wanted to share is a subject I am sure people are aware of and probably talk about a lot. I just wanted to share what I think, and I also want to know what you think about the subject.

The writing prompt question is: What do you think good communication means in a relationship?

To me good communication in a relationship means having a partner who understands you and a person that you can go to to talk about anything. Especially when it comes to the relationship. Talking to each other when situations arrive and being able to talk about it and figure it out together is key. Even if you both have differences, you should be able to come together and discuss them with no problem. Do not be afraid to talk to your partner. In a relationship, a partner should be one you can always count on even for a listening ear. Being able to let each other know what you both feel and what you both want is good for a relationship. I want a partner who can feel comfortable coming to me about how they are feeling or just talk about what is on their mind. Be able to hear them and take the time to listen to them and show them you care. I would not want to be in a relationship where the other person is scared to tell me their true feelings, whether it is about the two of us or their daily struggles. I think having good communication in a relationship is very important, and it is healthy for any relationship, whether it is a parent and child relationship, a relationship between siblings, a friendship, and, of course, an intimate relationship. You should always feel comfortable going to those closest to you and communicating. I wonder how you can make the relationship work if you don’t talk about important stuff or even small situations. Talk it out. I know it can be hard depending on the person you are dealing with, but must start and try at some time,

I know you all know the saying communication is key. And yes, it is. Well, that’s my opinion on the matter. What are your thoughts?

Please feel free to share your thoughts. Also, take this writing prompt and write about it.

I am just writing tonight and, of course, thinking, and this prompt is one I wanted to talk about. Thinking and writing aloud! Communication is important in any relationship, anywhere you go or anyone you talk to. Again, these are just my thoughts. T.O.L moment!

Hope the week is going good for you, and have a good one.

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

Self-Love II

12/02/2024thoughtsBlogging, Feelings, happy, Important, JustWrite, life, MyThoughts, Ray'Elaine, Self-Care, Self-Love, Strong, WritingRay'Elaine

Self-love is an essential part of both mental and physical health. It involves setting boundaries, understanding your needs, and taking the time to connect with yourself to cultivate a strong relationship with yourself. Increasing your self-love can lead to greater self-confidence, more resilience, and an increase in emotional well-being.

Focus on loving and nurturing yourself by engaging in activities that bring you joy and help you feel more connected to yourself. Take the time to embrace and love who you are, both the positives and the negatives. Self-love is key to living a happier and healthier life.

Blessings and Love!

Selflove!

Cherish Yourself!

Life and Values

11/30/2024Prompts, thoughtsAuthor, Blog, Faith, family, Feelings, happy, JustWrite, life, Love, Prompt, Ray'Elaine, Strength, thoughts, Values, Write PromptsRay'Elaine

Hello all, how’s your week going? I have a writing prompt tonight. I wanted to share my thoughts about my values.

What do you value most in your life?

The things I value most in my life are:

Number 1- I value God. Without him, nothing is possible, and without his guidance, I don’t know who I will be or where I will be. I have faith always.

Number 2- I value my children and my family. I feel like my children saved my life in a way. Also changed my way of thinking and living, they made me grow up. Quick (LOL). They keep me on my toes and focused at all times. And I feel sometimes without them I would have given up on life a long time ago. I love them so much. Grateful and thankful for my children and my family as well.

Number 3- I value my patience, how far I have come, my passions, and accomplishing my goals and dreams.

Number 4- I value my determination, drive, and strength. I am always pushing through no matter what. I value myself for always going after what I want in life.

Number 5- I value life overall, things that I have, I value life even with the struggles that I have faced in life. I am still here fighting,

I value all of those and more. I am grateful for all that I have, especially the little things, and what I don’t have.

So, question my blog peeps.

What do you value most in your life? Care to share? Do you like writing prompts?

Blessings and Love 🖤🤎💛🧡💚💓💗

Your Dream!

11/15/2024Short Stories, thoughtsAuthor, Blogging, Dream, Faith, Feelings, happy, JustWrite, life, Love, thoughts, WritingRay'Elaine

Your Dream!

Never say what you cannot do. Never say your dreams cannot come true.

Train yourself, train your mind to know and understand that you can do anything you set your mind to. Work hard and have faith. Take the necessary steps that are needed to fulfill your wants in life and pursue your dreams. Yes, sometimes it can be scary putting yourself out there and taking risks, but if you do not do that then you will never know what could have happened. You must believe in yourself and believe in the process because getting to your dreams may not be an easy road. Have people who love you and who are there to help and support you and you do the same for them. Having support is important whether it is for personal or business it’s great to have a loving person around. Put the work in and work hard for what is yours. You are the one who holds the key to your success. I have, in the past, gotten in my own m way and had to learn to trust and believe in myself, build myself up. I have also learned that stuff does not happen overnight you have to have patience. Motivated is another part of wanting your dream to be motivated every day and ready to make it happen, be dedicated. If you are not motivated to do this it will not work out. Practice your craft, over and over if need be feeling it, breathing it, and claiming it. Prove it to yourself first then the world. Live your life live your dream. You can do it. Always believe in your dream always believe in yourself.

Blessings and Love! Have Faith and Believe!
