Sparkle and Shine

 Happy Saturday and I hope everyone is having a solid weekend—or at least trying to. 


I get it… There are many factors that can make a day go sideways. Just remember, there is always something out there that can make you laugh or something you can do that will help you forget your troubles for a while. I'm not saying avoid them… I am just saying life is too short to sit around being sad. 


Believe me… I could go into it, but I would rather not. This blog isn't meant to drudge up or harp on any more shit we are all forced to swallow. 


With that said, let’s move on. 


I've had the last week off and I pretty much did everything I wanted to do mainly though I relaxed and focused on my book series. 


The week started with a meeting to expand my series to other avenues. It ended with me signing a contract to sell my book in the most darling bookstore I have ever had the pleasure of stepping foot in. Not bad for a week off. 


I read, I exercised, and I cleaned my apartment. You might wonder why I am continuously cleaning said flat… Well, I am a relatively clean person but also, it’s an older spot and it will always have decades-old grime seeping through the surface. Literally, it was the first apartment dwelling built in my city. In 1806 if I am not mistaken. Yeah, it’s that old. I am pretty sure along with its antiquities, there are a few ghosts that have decided to linger as well. It certainly isn't my cat sitting on the bed sometimes. 


I also started the week with a little ritual. A portal opener. I immediately got sick. As if what was no longer needed was purging itself out of my body. I felt fine a few hours later. 


I did not practice my ukulele. Honestly, I am just trying to get my hands correct and comfortable with the four chords required for this one song. That’s it…. ONLY FOUR CHORDS. 


I slept in most days. Given the 6AM wake-up call I usually have this was utterly delightful. What can I say, I am a Taurus and we love our sleep. 


All in all, it was a great week. I didn't do much but I did enough and what I wanted to accomplish got done. 


I go back to work on Monday and to be honest, I have missed my little boo-boo heads. Not the early rising time. Lol. 


I'm looking forward to the upcoming weeks because a lot will be taking place: a live interview, a writer’s conference in Los Angeles, and tickets for concerts and trips being booked. 


I'm excited and nothing is going to break this sparkle. 


Shine on you shiny diamonds!

Sleepless Nights at The Chateau...Visualize

  When I say it’s been one hell of a wild ride this month, that’s no exaggeration. I have said on repeat, “Someone pinch me...this can’t be happening?” Because that’s exactly what has happened. Things I’ve been hoping for and wishing on every night since I can remember are coming into fruition.   I can’t even really describe it...because I have no clue why the fuck this is all going now? Especially now. Shit. Like. This. Doesn’t. Happen. To. Me. And I’m not complaining...I’m over here like, “Hell yeah...I welcome you with open arms.”  Still...I can’t get over the surprising manifestation of it all. I’m shook y’all.  Smiling and stoked but shook.  I have put a huge amount of effort into the things I want my life to include and I got especially descriptive last year. I guess you could say, being in a locked down state...gave me no other option than to truly focus on these other tasks at hand. Tasks, before the pandemic, I dismissed    then got angry when...

We are constantly evolving. Who you are now will not be who you are later. The key in this transformation though....is to keep walking. To keep discovering...to keep uncovering layers and parts that are no longer necessary. To discard and build on as you see fit. To just keep being and doing and actively participating as the protagonist of your story.  Life is meant to throw curve balls and not every day or year will be a highlight of the century....but those curve balls are still essential details to the chapters you write.  Evolving indicates growth...and no matter how grown we think we are, there is always room for more.  This year, much like previous ones has taught me about patience...and not just patiently waiting for my life to get where I fully want it to be but to have more patience as whole. I’m learning some parts of me need more silence than reaction because my knee jerk reactions don’t solve most things, in fact they tend to make things worse. I will admit th...

Falling… Free or Forward

  Since the awakening as I call it… which is literally just a new lease and view on life I am doing things drastically different.   Recap…  I got super sick (almost died), I had two uncles pass away weeks apart from each other, and I was terminated from my job… proving once again that employees are replaceable and no job is worth you sacrificing everything for it.   I look at my days like this now: I like going to my new gig! When I come home I am not so exhausted and can enjoy life… not just chores or responsibilities.  A week looks like this on average… I write for book two every day M-Th. I take a yoga class once a week and I do cardio or weights twice a week. I just got a ukulele and am now taking lessons. I take an Abraham class (Law of Attraction) once a week and practice what I am being taught. I am doing rituals more often. I am now reading my third book for the year, and have my next two lined up after this one is done. I journal at least once ever...
