That “NO” Word..

thoughts, , , , , , , , , , ,

Hello, how is everyone’s night going?

Why do we sometimes feel like we cannot tell those close to us the word no, if we do, we feel guilty and question ourselves. We want to help and be there, so we do not like to tell people no. The thing is we know sometimes that the best thing is to say no and know it is the right choice, but we struggle with it. Me I have that problem especially with my kids. I try to please my loved ones no matter what. Yes of course there are times when I am like no and that is final, but still feel bad about it and there are times where I do not know why I feel bad. Why is that? I was also that way with my mom. Is anyone else this way? This is another thing I have changed in my life!

I want to say those two letters and mean it and not feel bad about it or selfish. It’s not to the point where I feel like people are taking advantage, it is just how I feel about saying no and thinking about the other person feelings. Yeah, I often push I how feel to the side, but at this age I am used to it-SIGH-. Just like to help people, I guess. Even though I get told that all the time (LOL).

But now days I have learned that saying no is the best thing to do. It is what is best for me in certain situations. No matter what your feelings are. You have to always put your feelings first.

Can you easily tell a loved one, no? What do you think?

Blessings and Love!

Prompt 3!

What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?

My middle name is Elaine. It is special to me because I use it as an Author and blogger pseudonym. I use the first three letters of my first name, and the last part is my middle name. I just decided to go with that name. I like it! It is also one of my aunt’s middle name. No other significance behind the name. Ray’Elaine!

Do you use a pseudonym? What does your middle name mean?

Blessings and Love!

Thanks for visiting.

**Some information behind the name.

The name Elaine means Light, Shining Light, The Bright One. And the origin of the name is Greek.

Writing, Vibing, Hungry (LOL)

thoughts, , , , , , , , ,

So, been writing like crazy today (Of Course, lol) and have not eaten anything in hours. I was really ignoring my growling stomach lol. I got to take a break soon to eat. Sometimes it is so hard to put the pen down. A good night of brainstorming, research, editing, and writing. I love nights like these. Where writing is fully taking over my day. Homegirl need a break. For sure

She is Hungry lol.

And now I am up late still writing and hungry LOL. So, I am about to cook some southern fried potatoes, Cajun Shrimp and some broccoli and cheese, while jamming to my music. Whew!! That is what I have a taste for. Yummy!!! Also want banana split, but that would be way too much this late (Greedy Me).

Then it will be back to writing. Got a few writing goals that need to be completed. A few more poems to write and finish a chapter or two for my book. Yeah BUSY. Get It Done! I am focused.

You ever had those days that were a blur? Just flowing through the day?

Blessings!

Good Morning! Good Vibes

thoughts, , , , , , , ,

Just want to post some positive quotes this morning.

Hope you woke up and are ready to start the day. Positive thoughts, and a positive outlook on the day.

If your day gets hectic (as I know it can) Take some breathers, meditate, and find a quiet place to try to relax your mind. I know things don’t go as we want them sometimes, so I like to take some breaths when it doesn’t and try to remain calm.

I want to share these quotes and hope your day is good. Get work done, goals, and projects done. Feeling grateful and thankful. Happy day! Hope you enjoy the quotes.

Blessings and Love.

Thank you for reading.

Happiness is KEY!!
Stay Positive, Be You!

Oh Man.. WTF!

Doing good then Boom…. Why?

Okay so everything was fine, and I am writing and then my mom pops up in my
head. Oh man that just made me pause and just start balling. Hate this feeling and now feeling a little down. Why does this happen? Now I am going to pray then turn on some music and hopefully stop feeling this way.

UGh shake it off I’m saying to myself. Maybe I need to go to bed. Put the notebooks and pens up and rest. Maybe she is telling me something I don’t know. Whatever music and a shot of something strong, a joint, shower and the damn bed. Just want to feel numb and not think for a while. Crazy months ago, thought I would be done drinking but here I am tonight with all these damn emotions, and a damn drink in hand (SMH). And it is really past my bedtime lol have to be up at 5am (Got To Work! YAY!) plus I have a migraine on top of all this.

Whew! Just venting and a little freaked out. It’s like I am feeling her. Again, have to shake it off….. Get it together. Oh Man, WTF- My feelings tonight.

 I Love and miss you mom. R.I.P.

Hope you all night is good! Have a good one.

 Blessings and Love!

Sunday..

Uncategorized, , , , , , , ,

Chilling and enjoying the night with family. Watching the Super Bowl with my son and excited. Going for my home team Kansas City Chiefs!!! Love it. My son going for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Also, I liked the halftime show. I am a fan of Rihanna. Good performance. I am multitasking as I am writing some poetry. Thinking about writing another poetry book, but not too sure. Well back to my writing, of course got to get a writing session in before bed. Finishing some goals tonight. A chill night.

How are you all doing? Are you watching the Super Bowl? Did you enjoy the halftime show and commercials? Working on any projects?

Have a good one

Blessings and Love
