Number 1: Lions, I love lions and defiantly love watching different shows about them. I like learning about them also.
Number 2: Birds; they are so beautiful, and I love hearing the chirping and singing from them every day. Some of my favorite types are Blue Jays’ Owls, Doves, Eagles, Swan, Nightingale, Flamingo, Peacock and Hummingbirds.
Number 3: Elephants, they always been a favorite.
Number 4: Dolphins they are so cute to me and somewhat peaceful,
Number 5: Dogs but from afar lol,
Last one number 6 is Horses I have always had a love for horses, and I want to own a few of them. Also, I have never gone horseback riding but really want to. Horses seem peaceful to me.
My favorite people to around be are my two wonderful kids, my nieces and nephews and my sister. Being around these people brings me joy and happiness. Though there are challenging times still I would not trade them for anything. I love my family! I know there is always love there no matter what.
Meat would be first for me. I love steak, beef, and pork. Seafood, next, I love shrimp, catfish and scallops. I love pasta and all types and sauces. And of course, desserts. I say desserts because I like to bake.
I think of myself as a foodie. And sometimes I indulge in the ooey gooey, cheesy, fried, greasy, chocolatey yumminess the goodness lol.
Sometimes it can be comforting for me. My favorite is Steak and shrimp, and I could have it all the time, especially with pasta. I also love making desserts and mixing different flavors together. I also love fruits and vegetables. A balance lol. I feel like cooking, food brings people together and also makes one feel good.
What do you like to eat? Are you a healthy eater? Are you a foodie?
I feel most productive when I am super busy. When I am cleaning and getting my house in order, I feel productive when I complete tasks and goals that I have set.
Of course, I feel most productive when I am writing. It does not matter if I am writing for my blog, writing in my journals, writing poetry, or writing for my books. My writing days are days that I feel I am the most productive and keeping busy with family life and writing.
I love having a very productive day and getting the important things done.
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?
-There are a few….
The thing I am most scared to do is Loose control. In a good way and a bad way. I like to be in control, and I feel that I am scared to lose that. I am not sure of what it will take for me to stop fearing my control issues. On the other hand, sometimes, I feel like I am losing control in a way that is bad and a lot of chaos. My attitude can be bad, and if I am pushed, it’s so much worse. Working on my healing to change that.
I am also scared to drive. I am grown, and I do not drive; it is a fear of mine. I don’t know why I just don’t face my fear and try it. It’s something that is always on my mind. I think I will seek help on how to face that fear. I get so scared, and my anxiety goes up when i am in a vehicle..Crazy right? Another one is scared to open up to people. I keep a guard up and don’t really interact much. I keep my distance and keep to myself. This is something else that I have been working on.
Those are the things I am scared of the most. Might be simple or weird things. I own it.
*Write about a taboo subject you find to be taboo in our society.
A subject that I feel that is taboo in our society is mental health/Illness. I know that there are many people dealing with mental health issues who are scared to talk about it. Feeling ashamed about how they are feeling and about what they are going through. It is a tough topic to discuss I feel due to others judging and being mean about it. Some people look at you differently and treat you differently due to your mental illness. It happens to a lot of people who suffer in silence and have no one to talk to or no support because they feel people would look down on them. It is crazy because that is true, some people feel that others should not be down, depressed or have anxiety or any other kind of mental illness. I have actually met a few people like this. Maybe because their life is put together. I don’t know. Mental health/illness is an important subject, everyone deserves to be happy and have support when they need help. Also, it is important to seek help no matter what others think. It is hard and you might feel like you are being a burden, but getting help and healing is key. I would never understand why talking about what is going on with you is a problem, to families, friends anybody. Including myself or why some cannot or won’t accept it.
Trust, I know about this all too well. It took me years to express any of my feelings or talk about what I was going through and really feeling. I did it first by writing down my feelings, my rage, and then why I was feeling that way, I know this method will not always work for others. I also talk to my sister about some stuff. Still, I get, from time to time, people who laugh about my feelings or if I talk about having anxiety or depression. They think that I am dumb or weak for feeling the way that I do. It is hard to find somebody who genuinely cares about your well-being or mental stability. I am not saying that it is another person’s responsibility for your happiness just would be great to have a little support in your process of healing. Some kindness or keeping their thoughts to themselves would be cool. We all need to find something that helps us and soothes us in a good way. And not doing things in a bad way that can further hurt us.
Everybody needs somebody, and I honestly didn’t use to think like this. I always thought that I should handle everything on my own. Sometimes, I still do. It’s hard to ask for help, and it’s something I need to work on.
I wish that more people could be themselves and, if they need help, seek it. My thoughts about mental health, it’s hard to deal with. I really do think this is a taboo subject. What do you think? Agree? Disagree
I would love to hear more thoughts about this subject.
For me the most fun way to exercise is dancing. I can turn on some music and dance around for hours. It is fun and a big stress reliever for me. I am having fun and getting a workout at the same time. After dancing I always feel good. Feel a little lighter. Sometimes, it is necessary to put that music on and lose yourself in the song and your movements. Yes, dancing is both art and exercise, something I always had a love for.
When I wake up in the morning, I take care of my hygiene. I will journal till it is time to get my kids up for school. Some days make my kids breakfast if they want it. Sometimes they like to take nutrient grain bars or pop tarts, something on the go. I will get that done while making sure they are getting ready for school and always watching the time to make sure they make their school bus. After they are off to school, I make my cup of coffee, and some days, by this time, it is cup number 2, and then I will write, blog, and journal with some music playing and relaxing till it’s time for work. Then, of course, it is time to work! That’s it!
What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?
Well, this question has two answers. One tattoo I would like to get is something that would be symbolizing my mom. Her name or maybe her favorite things. With a cute design, I was thinking of butterflies since I love them so much. She would always buy me things that had butterflies on them. I know that butterfly tattoos are somewhat popular. Just need to come up with something cute and cool and, of course, something I know that she would like. I am still thinking about designing what I really want for this tattoo. I would put the tattoo on my right arm or leg, maybe my wrist.
The second one is a lioness or lion tattoo with a cool, fiery background of blue flames. I have always wanted a lion tattoo or the zodiac sign tattooed on me. I would put the lion tattoo on my legs or my back.
Nothing too far out there. Already have two tattoos and I want more.
