First Impression

What's the first impression you want to give people?

A calm and happy first impression
Is what I strive to give
A warm and welcoming expression
Is how I love to live
I offer a gentle smile
And a soothing voice to match
With me, you’ll feel at ease awhile
And your worries will detach
My presence brings a peaceful air
And my words are soft and kind
I’m here to show you that I care
And to ease your troubled mind
So come and sit with me for a while
And let my calmness be your guide
Together, we’ll find a happy smile
And a sense of peace inside

Blessings and Love!

What is your favorite hobby or pastime?
View all responses

My favorite hobbies are writing, of course, dancing and cooking, watching documentaries, and playing video games.

I am an author, so writing is something I do all the time. I love music and dancing and could put music on and dance away for hours. I am also a foodie and love to cook, especially baking, it is relaxing for me. I love watching documentaries on all types of subjects, mainly animal docs. Lastly, I like to play video games. My favorite games to play are Jeopardy, Tetris, Madden, and Wheel of Fortune. These are things I love to do especially if I am really bored and feel there is absolutely nothing else to do. When I am playing video games, I would have my music going and tuning everything out. I just like to vibe!

Flaws!

Prompts, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , ,

**I had a writing prompt that I wrote and working on and wanted to share. It is about my flaws, what they are, and how I feel about them. Might be familiar with some of what you read in this blog post because I share my true feelings from time to time. Still wanted to share this it’s everything in one lol.**

The writing prompt was: Write down the flaws that make you perfect the way you are.

I feel that my flaws are Trust issues, insecurity in my writing and self-publishing, self-doubt, control, and a bad attitude most of the time.

My flaws make me perfect the way I am because I feel like the trust issues that I have to keep me alert to new people I meet, and I keep them at a distance. I have trust issues because those close to me betrayed me. Most people think of someone cheating on you and that is what brings trust issues in people. But no, for me, it is everybody; I have had friends do me wrong and betray my trust, and I also have had family betray me. And at this point, I am damn sick of it and that is why I do not trust too many people. This flaw could be a terrible thing to others but for me, I am very aware of it and honest about it. The next thing is my insecurity in getting my book done and published. I am not going to lie I fear it, maybe scared of what type of feedback I would receive. I think I take my time with it; I want it to be perfect. Also, I do not know too much about publishing or self-publishing, so I am trying to do some research before I put my work out there for the public to read. Another insecurity in my writing is the promotion and marketing of it all. I need to get out of my shell and make things happen. Another flaw is being scared to take risks. I need to get out of that and fast.

The self-doubting is a flaw. I second guess myself all the time, which is not good but something I am aware of and working on. My controlling habits, I tend to want to be in control of everything around me. Like I hate to sit back and not be a part of something that I think I should be a part of. Also controlling in a way that I want others to do as I say when I say, I get irritated if they don’t or if I feel they are moving too slow for my liking. I know, crazy, right? I am also working on that as well as a bad attitude.

These flaws make me perfect the way I am because I am fully aware of what areas I need to work on and am honest with people about my flaws. Though I feel I am perfect with these flaws, I know that some things need to change. I can admit my strengths and weaknesses and still be proud of who I am. There is no shame in that. I am a work in progress, striving to get better.

Have a better way of thinking and a better life. My flaws make me perfect the way I am. It does not mean perfect in anything but perfect for me.

Do you have flaws that make you perfect the way you are? Care to share? Thoughts?

Blessings and Love!

Contradictions…

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

Have you ever been in a situation where your feelings are deep for someone, yet you cannot explain it to them. You are too much in your head and in a way, you are a walking contradiction. What do I mean? I am glad yall asked. I say walking contradiction because I want one thing but act and say another thing. 

An example, I always say that communication is key in any type of relationship, and I like open communication. I like for people to be able to come and talk to me about anything. On the other hand, I do not like to talk all the time and indeed be in my head. I shut down and do not want to talk to anyone about anything. I just cut people off until I feel like I am ready to talk to them again. That is contradiction number one. Another example is I also have a problem with accountability. I want someone to own up to the shit they have done and own up to the crazy ways they acted. I try to get them to understand the way they acted. On the other hand, sometimes, I feel like I said what I said, did what I did and that is that. I expect a person to deal with it. Or I try to avoid talking about it. Not with everything but from time to time I get like this. I know that it is not right. That is contradiction number two. Another one is being open minded, that is what I want from others but me, myself, is really not open minded, I try to be, but I am so closed off and sometimes I am not open to new things. Damn. Contradiction number three. Control is a big one…. I do not like people who are super controlling, yet I can be. I like to be in control over everything I do. If I am not in control I feel out of place and full of anxiety. Contradiction number four. 

I know these are not good traits I have, and I have been working on all of them!

Again, I am a walking contradiction, and I can be honest about it. Always real with myself above the rest. 

Anybody else like this? What are some contradictions you face? 

Blessings and Love

What are your favorite physical activities or exercises? 

My favorite physical activity to do is dancing. I do not do much exercise besides dance. I like to find a good beat to move to and just dance away. Dance all the cares away! Though I really do not know how to dance, I try to and have fun doing it. Oh, I like walking and jogging too lol. How about you?

Favorite Meals

Prompts, , , , , , , , , ,

My family’s top 3 favorite meals are Number One- breakfast food. My kids love it when I make cinnamon or chocolate chip pancakes or French toast, southern fried potatoes, scrambled eggs, sausages, and bacon. Sometimes, that is what they want for lunch and dinner that would be our most favorite. The second one is Tacos, and yes, my kids want it every Tuesday night. Taco Tuesday, they like to say. So, on Tuesdays, I would do them tacos, sometimes burritos and nachos. I am not an enthusiastic fan of tacos like my kids, but I make them a lot because they love them so much. The third meal my family loves is Cajun Sausage, Shrimp, or Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo pasta with broccoli and salad and garlic bread on the side. We also like to try different kinds of pasta and sauces. I sometimes like to add steak to my pasta meals, too. Yummy! 

Blessings and Love!
