That Girl

 I’m so busy!!! I’m completely revamping my Etsy store. I’ll be removing some items, I’ve added sections so it’s easy to find exactly what you’re looking for and it’s a lot darker in feel… well, it will be after I get 150 items into their new section. I made a new banner today but I need to tweak it a little to include “ find the beauty in the darkness” I’ve been curating a ton of new items that will be a perfect fit for the vibe. I’ll still have most of my other jewelry for bread and butter pieces plus I have $3500 in antique china that was my great grandmother’s. And just bought another full 12 setting plus serving bowls for $85 but it’s worth about $3000 for it. These are going to take me ages to stage and photograph them because I think that I’ll be piecing them out. It would be hundreds of dollars to ship entire 12 settings plus all the serving and gravy dishes. People would know that but to wrap and ensure that something so delicate gets there in one piece is VERY difficult i...

 I’ve been surprised by so many moments of simple joys lately. I love that so much.  Had a pool party here this week and we won a prize :-) but the simple joy was talking to two little girls and their mom. Her and her husband own a pool business. They are so nice… one thing I like about living here is the rainbow of colors and religions and ethnicities, that it’s nice to interact with people villainize by our government and seeing that there are bad people in all groups but the majority are lovely. This is a middle eastern family, of which there are many here, and their daughters were pure joy. 7 and 9 years old but very small as their mother is very petite. Small little voices, bold, intelligent, curious, very interested in how many children we have and when they asked Josh who is his favorite friend is he replied that his sister is his favorite person. They loved that. When we were leaving they told Josh to tell his brother and sisters hi from them and to have fun with his f...

  This is graphic. And I mean, violently graphic. So if you want to check out that’s fine, thanks for stopping by and see you next post! So I saw this ad on YouTube that left me speechless and that’s where this begins… It was an ad for an umbrella. This guy was claiming that he made it and then he said… It’s like an abortion, if you need it you can use it and your weekend won’t be ruined. I mean….   But that’s not where this stops. I posted about this in the parenting group I’ve belonged to for 32 years. I asked what other people thought about it and...  This woman that I’ve hated for the entire 32 years, comments that she loved it. Thinks that abortion should be talked about like any other medical procedure. Ok, I’m good with that. I’m pro-choice. Ive had one, I’ve taken someone to get one. I bought my daughter plan B after she was assaulted.  I hate that women are made the villains in these discussions.  So I’m all for a more open conversation. But! Not every ...

 I typed out an entire post about what I’ve learned but I’m not sure that I’ll post it. I’m torn I will tell you guys the topic though so that you can email me to give me your thoughts. Ps: if you haven’t gotten an email giving you my new address you can reach me at my old email for another week.  I have learned that you can in fact get late term abortions , in the US, through 40 weeks BY CHOICE… not just medical emergencies. And I was educated on how it works and it’s…… You won’t be able to un-know it. So, think about that.  I’ll write asap. Me

 I’m not going to talk today about the awful thing I’ve just recently learned. You’re happy. Believe me. Instead, I haven’t done this in awhile so here goes Things about me! 1) I love candles that smell like pipe tobacco  2) I’m not sure that I’m a Christian anymore. Not the Christian that exists today. Or really, have they ever behaved like Christ? The Crusades anyone?  3) my favorite stone is Lapis Lazuli 4) I was once unfortunate enough to be engaged to a man who is 20 years older than me which means that today he is SEVENTY EIGHT. Got damn, can you process that? Me either. In the end, I dodged a full on bullet. 5) I love new socks  6) I’m a shoe whore 7) The Summer of ‘69 is not about a sex position. Fight me. 8) I haven’t been able to write more than one story since my dad died. He took that with him. I hope he’s reading my best work! 9) i love black licorice. Don’t hate me. 10) I can’t listen to my AirPods and not sing or dance. Just can’t do it. So not conduci...

 I’ve had a fee messages from a some of you who watch my YouTube channel, asking questions about my last video. It’s exactly what I said it was…  Somebody who has been a subscriber for a long time did something that was gross and… wrong, to me and I had my guard down.  Two years ago he sent me two stories to read for the 31 days. I can’t remember if it was both stories or one story…. For Halloween… that included him mentioning masturbating. It was ick and I might have even removed the word but I’m not sure. He changed his user name afterwards and I didn’t realized that the person we’re gonna talk about now was the same person…, so Robb and I do a podcast on female groomers and sexual abusers. Naturally, this is a difficult topic for me but I did talk about my experience and give a number of red flags to look out for. So there’s a post, I really don’t even know if it’s a man or woman, they wrote that it was difficult to listen to, and ya, confronting issues like this shoul...
