Well Hello There!!! Over here still in Quarantine and living my best Social Distancing Life. Lets be honest though, some days are better than others, some hours are even hard. I have to admit though, I have been Thriving during this time and Surviving at the same time. Some days I don't think about what is happening and just treat it as days off and other days, I think about work, how work is going to happen and when we are opening. That portion is really starting to get to me. I just need a date or a time Frame of when we are going back. I feel like I need time to think about it and process it before they give us the go ahead. I mean yes, I have had many days to process it, but gosh getting back into the swing of things is going to be different. But for my planning heart I have, attaching a date to it, makes my anxiousness a lot less than what it is now. Yes, my positive self, does suffer a bit with being anxious. It is just sometimes all of this gets to become to...

Well hello there! We are approaching another week in Quarantine and dare I say it, it has become quite the routine and every day. I think there becomes apart of you and your brain where you just realize and probably accept this is it and how it is going to be and live with it. While I adjusted to this lifestyle a bit ago with this closure, I think now it has finally settled back in, but I would be lying if I didn't think when this is all over, how different and scary the world will be again and what will my life look like. Okay, I know that seems dramatic but it ties into the Habits Lesson of Week #3 of the Next 90 Challenge over with the Hollis Co. This week is all about Habits. I have to say I have created some great Habits I instill into my daily lifestyle over the last few years. Habits or creating a Habit is something I really enjoy doing. I am a girl after structure and routine and lists and getting fulfillment from that. It is just how I am personally wired. When I f...

Happy Tuesday!! I have since decided that for the next 13 weeks, or how many at this point, is some of my blog posts will be in conjunction with the lessons Rachel Hollis is giving during the next 90 days lessons and my reflection or homework as she has stated to go along with it.  This weeks topic is finding Joy CHOOSING JOY. Joy Noun: A feeling of great pleasure and happiness. Read that again... A feeling of great pleasure and happiness.  How many of us search for that every day or go out and try to support that in our ever day lifestyles with family and friends and even strangers. She explained finding Joy in this particular season can be troublesome, it can be hard to find that moment of happiness when we are feed some of the darkest thoughts we have ever encountered.  Maybe it is from the news, givings us the countless death counts, or friends and family members who are personally troubled with what is happening, either they ...

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look ...

Well Hello!!!  Wow it has been a really long time since I have logged into my Blog. Remember when I used to write about food and running and the little extras of my life that I refer to as Sparkle... Yeah...it has been awhile. And the only thing I can say, is LIFE got in the way, boy oh boy did it ever. Sitting down and doing my blog and posts and all the joy and fun I got from it, had to sit on the very back burner. Heck it wasn't even on the stove. But back in January I was at Rise Ft. Myers with Rachel Hollis and the idea to getting back to posting on my blog has come back in my life. I really missed writing and explaining my life and doing fun things, but Gosh Instagram and Instagram Stories, made it much more easier, so that is where I have been following along with my life and what I have going on. My blog, this blog, was all about me expressing who I am and what I love and I am sad I got away from that. So many times, I thought I should just sit down and just rig...
