When you are going through tough times that is when you find out who your real friends are.  Real friends stick it out through the bad stuff not just the good. They don't make excuses on why they can't be there. Will text or call to make sure you are doing okay. Others won't do anything and don't make an effort. Then you have the ones who when they do talk to you it's like all you hear is me me me. The me me me people make you want to  roll your eyes into the back of your head. Then you have some who tell you how they think you should do it and it's like agh moments. Sometimes you just want people to shut up and listen. Real friends listen and make time for you. 

Thank you to all who support me and stand by me. Without your support I wouldn't be making the progress I have made. Thanks for all the likes,shared, and comments. Thanks to the ones who have bought my books and left reviews. To those who have hired me to take pictures it means the world to me to capture those moments. For those of you who take time to read my blogs thanks a lot.  Special thanks to my boys who root their mom on in all that I do. Thanks to all my family and friends who listen and support me in life. You are all amazing.

Yesterday was a bad and scary day. My boys were on our way to the lake to swim which we had planned on having fun. When we arrived at our location my car was smoking and shortly after that in flames.  It didn't blow up. The fire spread through my whole car like wild. My oldest son calls my dad to let him know and then proceeds to call 911. After that he warns people whose vehicles were nearby to come get it just in case of the fire spreading or in case of an explosion.  I cried so hard watching my car go up in smoke. We were very fortunate that all we lost was the car and what possessions we had inside. I'm not sure how I would have handled the situation had the car not done that after parking it. Something was definitely watching over my boys and me that day. I only had liability coverage so nothing could be done. It upset my boys and me a little about the car and possessions.  We are just happy that nothing happened to us. Am very appreciative to all who have wished us ...

There are times when I feel so unmotivated. There are days I just want to give up. Sometimes you just have to take a  you day. Some think it is selfish to take a you day and it is not. You need these days to reevaluate what is important to you and to relax. Everyone needs destress time. On these days do things that relax you. Example of those things would be take a walk, listen to music, read,  movie, napping,  bubble bath,  fishing, swimming,  or whatever makes you happy. If I still feel unmotivated about it then it's possible that it's something that I don't enjoy doing. You make more of the effort if it is something you love doing. Other times you are unmotivated due to anxiety,  stress, depression, and many other things.  Taking a you day is important for your mental health even. We all need a moment to breathe and think.

Hope everyone is having a great day!! Do what makes you happy!! Much love!!

This month is typically a rough month for me. The reason why it's so rough was my mom was slowly dying. July 25th will be 22yrs ago since she passed.  That woman was one of a kind. Very kind, loving, good friend,  mom, and wife. Touched many lives with her kindness.  After she died a part of me did also. My mom always listened and was very supportive. I felt her love. She lived her life to the fullest. She fought until she took her dying breath. I was very close to my mom. I miss her every day. There are says I wish she was here to give me advice or a hug. Miss her cooking. I was only 15yrs old when she passed away. Her memory will live on through me and the ones she left behind.

Happy Birthday!! Hope you have a wonderful birthday!! May all your wishes come true!!
