Wow just can not seem to keep up these days with this blog!

  I try, I seriously do. However honestly I forgot all about it in the last few years. With working non stop and publishing my book it just seemed to be lost in the folds. However here I am back at it again; hopping this time it will last longer.
  I guess I’ll start by telling you what I have been up to all these years. I have a grand baby now and well she takes up a lot of my time. I am not complaining not one bit; she does take all my energy though these days and that is fine. I enjoy every moment of it. I never know when the last time is going to be of anything with her. So I try to soak it all in for my memories as I know one day that is all I am going to have. As she grows she will distance herself from me, with friends and her own activities that she will explore.
  I also have a second grand baby on the way same daughter, I actually have three grandchildren after this one is born but I sadly don’t get to see my grandson to much at all he lives in another far away state. I enjoy this, I do here I thought I’d be nesting and lonely once my children moved out but nope.... can’t be lonely with my life and that’s ok.
  Other then that I have been trying to write me second book with no avail, just can’t get into it... where is my muse when I need it lol. I have been addicted to Red Dead Redemption 2. Unfortunately I have been to addicted to it. I play way to much and I do try to slowly wean myself off of it but it is a touch and go process of yet.
   I haven’t been working because I am working on my book, but again to much to do and not enough time to do everything I’d like to in a day. It would help if I limited myself from RDR2 lol. In time I suppose; in time.

 Well I am going to make time to write here in this blog, I enjoyed it and maybe it will get me into writing again. They say write every day for at least 20 mins to get into it again so here goes nothing.
Love you all always !

Website up and Running, life couldn't be busier, Enjoying it indeed!

    It is late and here I sit writing this blog, So much has happened and it seems just not enough time to get everything I need or want done, to get done. I wonder many of nights how I do it myself. With no intention of even answering my own question. I am going through a lot, my youngest has a child now and which I help her with her awesome daughter my granddaughter. I have wrote a book and published it, including making the cover front and back. I feel very accomplished in my life and I have to thank God for leading me through these paths.
    I always wanted to be a writer, and well dreamt many of times about being a writer. Did I actually think I would be one, I believe I did. I just needed to be lead in the right direction and therefore have accomplished yet another goal I was unaware that I was accomplishing. I never thought in a million years that I would be here, and looking back yet I believe a part of me knew I always would.
    From getting my GED at a very late stage in my life, to going to collage, buying a home, and well being a Manager of my own store to now a Author, Writer, Publisher, Graphic Artist. I knew I could and would achieve many of the goals I set out to do. However an Author.... it always was there, I just did it, not really trying at all in all honesty. I just started writing and there it was a story of my life in a nut shell. Only thing is I never thought that my first book would be of secrets so deep as the ones I told in my book. Who would of thought that my Haunted Life would be the first book that I would officially publish.
    Sometimes the goals we create and achieve are our procrastination of things we should of already been doing. Maybe it was the fear of being rejected, unlikeable, or not good enough I am not sure what kept me from just sitting down before and writing. Now however I can not stop it, my muse is there. I have stories upon stories to tell and I want people to read them. They will laugh, they will cry, they will fall in love and then be crushed at times. However only when the words hit the paper and become the story will the readers be able to read the tales that are so ready to be told.
    I have a plan, that plan is to rise above my fears and give something that I know I can to those who are willing to read it, to enjoy it. Maybe even love it.

      Welcome to my haunted life is a true story, my true story of the demons and the skeletons in my closest. The ghosts, shadow people, and many other entities that surround me from day to day. Years it has taken me to be able to tell someone, everyone of the fearful nights, the torture I felt and the hauntings that haunted my life. Only I wasn't the only one experiencing them anymore as I got older my family and my friends were witnessing these paranormal experiences as well. I was not sure if I could bare another night thinking I was crazy or something. However when others were around me and saw or heard what I would hear that is when I knew my life wasn't just in my head. It was real, and that reality was not something I wanted anymore. I learned to live with it not fear it, I have won that battle many times over. I have escaped from the depths of hell so to speak and I have learned now at my age that those hauntings were so much more they were messages and they were guidance, they were my life and I needed to face it head on. I did just that, therefore now my life is a little more settled and now I am not fearful of what I see, more then curious and able to understand what I am seeing and why. That there is a story there and it is only waiting to be found out, written and read.

Awesome Book ★★★★★

by Tracy4uto - May 14, 2016

It was great to read and to look through the eyes of the reader, with the illustrations it really helped.

Amazed and Dazed! ★★★★★

by NightOwlsLive - May 14, 2016

Incredible, I bought the book, and it took me some time to read it as I worked but once I had a couple days off, as I like to really get into my books. I got a chance to read it. I am just at awe really that a little girl growing up had experienced so much in her life then growing into adult hood amazes me how she handled it. I highly believe life after death and in ghost, as well as heaven and hell, demons and other dimensions as crazy as this sounds, I do believe these things to, and have had my own experiences, I am glad I was able to read this as it helped me understand, and most certainly know I am not alone. Can not wait to read more from this author, The pictures were a real treat to, got to really get to know the person behind the book.

Liked this book ★★★★★

by Kittttyyykaaattt - May 3, 2016

It was very interesting, left me a little freaked out after reading it slept with the lights on!

Great Read ★★★★★

by Darth Stupid - May 3, 2016

I have not read a book as interesting as this one in a long time. Being a true story it would be a very scary and horrific experience for someone growing up dealing with that stuff. Can not wait for this Author to write more books.

Yes, I have been writing or rather I wrote a book, it is now on ibooks and can be per-ordered it releases on the 1st of May.
As I sit here writing this I am still in shock that I actually did it. It took me a few months to write it as it should. I could not be more happier as I am right now.
I am excited and full of joy at the moment.
I wanted to share the link here as well so that my readers here can per-order if they would like.
Although as of right now, it is only available in digital format, and exclusively on iBooks and iTunes store I am looking to release through other digital media such as but not limited to
Kindle, Nook etc: This however will take a little more time as I need to submit it there as well.
Again thank you everyone and here is that link.
My Haunted Life

Once again I find my self Behind in my blog!

If I have anyone out there, still reading my blog, I know I had several readers before.
However I can not say that I blame you if you have left me lol. Time moves quickly when you
are a full time working Manager and mother, as well as running my owner business on the side in your spare time.
All in all however that is all besides the point. I feel and update is required, I am currently on Vacation and
well thus far I am enjoying it.
My husband and I took a vacation together, yes we plan on leaving to go some where,
However we both agreed our money would be better spent putting it into our home on things that we have only
dreamed about, Up until now. We have started to lay rock in our back yard, in the garden of Snakes. Yes I said it,
I have a whole back yard of Gardner Snakes I began calling the back yard "REPTILE GARDENS" If anyone knows
about REPTILE GARDENS, it is a little zoo just for Reptiles. (link:http://www.reptilegardens.com/)
Located in the heart of the Black Hills in Rapid City SD. Wonderful place if I do say so myself.
In any event, I thought all my snakes moved on as there was so many I could not help but run them over
with the mower by ACCIDENT, And hadn't seen any for a few weeks. Yesterday though I cam across a baby
and well I was a little happy to know at least one was left behind. To carry on Big Daddy's job. Big Daddy
I have not seen for a few weeks but he has been in my yard every year we have been here since 2012. However just
a week or two ago he seemed to move on as all his family had been mowed. I had like 6-7 Huge Snakes and I sadly killed
about 4-5 of those huge ones with the mower as I was mowing. I mow once to twice a week mind you. Big Daddy is the father of most
if not all those huge snakes in my yard. He has to be to have so many out there and he lives under my cement side walk near
the Garage. Mama Snake I believe is one of the many I mowed over. Maybe he went in search for a new mama.
Anyway back to my landscaping.
My husband and I got a estimate on how much it would cost to have someone come into our home and fix up the Garden area by leveling it out
and then placing Rock, The guy said 300 dollars, not bad considering. However we have a whole house we would rather put that money into replacing gutters
and nicks that the Hell storm put in some of our siding and windows panes last year. So we went to Home Depo, and bought a couple of bags of limestone rock, we leveled and cleaned
out that garden by ourselves, and placed the two bags. It became quick knowledge it would take a lot of those bags at $3.99 a bag to fill that garden area up (21 bags cost about 150.00).
So the person that I am, I saved some money and contacted a business and went right to the source for the rock. Concrete Materials, Hubby and I went and
bought a quarter ton of Lime stone rock from them got the pick up loaded with the rock went home and started shoveling it into the Garden. We still have to go get more rock,
A quarter ton of rock only cost us 22.95, Considering the money we saved it was a great decision going to get more today and finish off the 2 feet we have left to fill, However
we are buying still another quarter ton, so that we can lay the rock into the area where my air conditioner is so that it will be nice again to.
I appreciate the fact the hubby and I can take a vacation and work together to put into our home a forever little peace of heaven we will always enjoy.. Knowing we did it
together and by ourselves just brings that much more pride we have in our home and ourselves. Yes My husband is not much of a DIY guy, but I am. Though he may roll his eyes at
me in the beginning of our forever adventure of making our home a beautiful little piece of heaven right here in our home, he looks at me with his grin at the end and says,
"We worked hard today Mommins," and I can see a twinkle of pride and enjoyment in his eyes. Knowing he did it, and actually enjoyed it. Now I will tell you
this rock garden was his project, he wanted to do, he even says "You just want to do my project and take the credit."I can not help but laugh with him, because he thinks these things
but when it comes to actually doing it, it is always like I am pulling and pushing him to do it, but when he gets his start in the project there is no turning back. He gets it, he
does it, and enjoys it. Then he walks around like he's the man all week that is fine, I love that about him.
He tells me I am his rock, I push him to do the things he wants to do, where people always say I am going to, and never gets to it. I am the one solid in his life, that will actually push him
to make his dreams come true. At the end of the day, he knows I have his back. But at the end of the day, I always ask myself, doesn't he understand that he is my solid, my reason to want to be
better, do better, love better and to help him achieve what he wants in his life. I am a go getter if you tell me you want something done, or just want something, He and the children are my soul reason that I push for it. Make sure that it happens, because at the end of the day, if you just talk about it, you will never get it done. A great man always told me " Don't push off tomorrow what you can do today." (RIP — Wayne T.) He was right its in the mind set, if you want it done it'll get done, But if all you want to do is talk then it never will be.

I ll post pictures once all is done, of our great work that we have done. Now realize it is not professionally done, but in my eyes it is just as beautiful as if it were. I also want to mention
that we have so much more we want to do in that yard, however I told myself and Husband that it need not all be done at once, but as time goes by as we get older this home, we will enjoy more as we do more together.

Wow just let me tell you !

No I did not get a chance to write much in 2014, What a busy, and horrible year that was, glad it's over.
However here we are barely starting year 2015 and I am going to make it great, I can not wait. I hope all of you have a great year
this year as I am planning to have, I am not allowing anything to get me down.I ll hold my head high and walk into it, rather then
bowing down and letting it get to me this year. I don't want to go into to much detail on what my year was like last year. So I will not
write about it at all, it is what it is.
This year I plan on going back to school, and attending classes to better my career and excel in it. I want for so much as for personal
upgrade rather then anything else. The mind is a waste if you don't use it so why not learn something often and exciting that will make you
feel great about yourself. Thus always working on yourself is the best form of therapy out there. You can not help or control what others,
say, do to you, but you can control how you react to it. By not letting get to you, work on yourself, not for anyone or anything else but for you.
Thus you will uncontrollable, and above all you will feel great.
I have been working hard on a book that I am writing, and hope to release soon on I—book and other sites, I only hope the readers will enjoy it as much as I
have enjoyed writing it. I am a very creative person, and love to write, and read anything informative, and even imaginative, it doesn't have to be non fiction,
I love fiction as much as I love non fiction, the mind is a great place to create creative works of art you never know what you can do until you do it, or at
the very least try to do it, You may be surprised at just want you can do or learn to do.So get up give it a go and see what comes of it. You ll know once you
find it that it is what you were meant to do..... FOR YOUR SELF!

Long Time No See,

I have started a new career path, and I do believe I like it. I am no more an Assistant Manager but a Manager, I work hard and I believe we are rewarded eventually not always at the job we are currently at, but somewhere else that they may need us to be at.
I am thankful for all those who I have had the honor to work with in the past those who have taught me many of things in this life long journey. I want to acknowledge those that are around me even if you are not aware of the help or lesson you have taught me, Know that I do carry it with me.

Most of all I want to let you all know if you want something bad enough work your way to it. Yes it is not easy but it's well worth the wait and well worth the time and energy you put into it. Know that somewhere someplace they are looking for you, they just have to find you and you them.
Good luck in your journey and I hope you work hard for what you deserve..... Don't let anyone hold you back.

To busy for you I think not, I know lol it been to long,

   I have been working hard at my full time job on top of working on my side jobs as a Graphic Designer. With all of what I have accomplished in my life, the struggles, the successes, disappointments, the joys. I have been very blessed to experience all of theses experiences, it has taught me, helped me to grow up, and above all become a stronger powerful woman. I could not have done all of this by myself, I have God in my life and his blessings, and a very understanding and wonderful husband to help as well along the way.
    With out my husband I am sure I could of and would have accomplished all this eventually, however at my age of 38 years old I can fairly say that I have accomplished many more things in my life then most women my age have. On another note I would not have been able to accomplish any of these things without my faith in God. Believing in him has helped me by giving me faith in myself and the strength to do so. Yes I possibly could have done these things on my own without belief and with out a man. I know however myself, I needed to feel guided by something more in life then what is. I have grown up believing in God, I have grown up believing in something, a higher power if you will. That things happen for a reason and believing in God has taught me that he will provide, all you need to do is ask and have a faith in him, and Jesus.
    I am who I am today because of all the test and trails I have been giving, in turn I have also been given many blessings. My children, my family, my home, and above all myself. I have learned to love myself, I have learned there is nothing you can not do as long as you work hard for it, have faith not only in yourself by God, Jesus. 
    So I may not write everyday, as my busy life has made a turn that prevents me to do so at times. However always know that I am here, I am healthy and I am alive. Working harder everyday to make things happen for myself my family, and above all for those that need someone to lean on. I hope my blog helps people find something in life that will give them faith in themselves and God.
   
  

New Blog and very busy busy busy how about you?

    So yes I have been working  on another blog, yes I have many interests, and I love to search and seek out new things to do. I have been working at a new job that pays more, respects me more and gives me what I need to help myself and family to grow. I enjoy my new job thus far,  The people there are wonderful as well, though younger co-workers and sometime younger customers, I feel very comfortable, and respected as well.
    I believe that all things will come that you seek, need and want once one puts themselves out there to work hard enough for it, anything worth having is worth working hard for it. As well as having faith and asking for help from above when you need it. Just remember to thank God and Jesus for the help that you receive from them as they are behind you 100% of the way. All things in this world have a purpose you just have to realize that the purpose may not be revealed to you right away or at all. Just know that there is one.
   I have been down and out for a long while as if something was missing from my life. A lot of that came from not having a job and not knowing where to go to the next step. The guidance that I received was most welcomed. As it lead me to my new blog to which I am giving you a link to, or you can view it on my profile as well. I do hope most if not all my readers at least take a glance at it.
    In the mean time  I will continue to update this blog as much as do the other one. This make three blogs that I own and write for now. I am a creative person I have mentioned in my past post. With that being said my mind is full of information that I love to share so instead of bundling them up in just one blog I felt the need to spread it out amongst three blogs. People interest are  different and well may not like what one of my blogs may have to say but like what other blogs I write do. So
there is no need to worry I ll try not to mix them (laughing a little).
    Here is the link to my other blog if you should be interested in looking, reading, or even becoming a regular reader of it. Thank you to all my readers for helping  me and staying with me as long as you have, I only wish to keep you interested in what I have to say. Thank you once again.

My Conversation with a good friend!

My Friends and my conversation This was actually pretty funny, as I have dealt with a lot in my past and she doesn't know how I do the things I do and not get mad or upset about it,

So she asked me these questions, Q _Question A — my answer:

Q — Do you hate anyone?

A —"Honestly no I do not hate anyone,"

Q — Do dislike anyone?

A — "No I do not dislike anyone,"

Q — Not ever?

A — "No I did not say I never hated or disliked anyone, I just have learned that it takes to much energy to dislike or hate anyone at all, So I don't hate or dislike anyone"

Q — How can you not hate or dislike anyone at all?

A — "It is simple really, I have had people in my life that I once hated or disliked, I have come to learn that spending my energy there was doing me no good, these people would always be around, and in my life one way or another, For what ever their hatred or dislike is towards me I can not help or change, I just won't waste me time trying to change that anymore, nor waste my time with hating them back or disliking them... I simply have learned to tolerant them the best I can and go on with my life, There is so much more better things I can spend my time and energy on"

Q — How do you go about spending your time and energy in another place when you have someone that you would rather hate or dislike bothering you?

A — " Ah yes another simple question, One thing I have learned is to breathe through it, I don't react, and I certainly do not put to much thought behind their doings, In the end there is one person who will see all and take care of it for me, maybe not in this life, but in the thereafter surely Justice will be there, However in the mean time, I brush it off, and continue on with my work as a Graphic Artist and other Employment. I spend a lot of my energy on my blogs, Pod casts, and of course my employment else where, Also Friends help greatly. Today when and if something happens I don't really take that much notice I find myself not upset, Just thinking that doesn't surprise me."

Q — So you are telling me you never get upset over anything?

A — "No I do get upset about Life's unexpected moments, mostly dealing with my own demons, or frustrated over sorts, but with people I have just learned to tolerant them and move on, There is always going to be something that will be there every so often to upset you, But when it comes to people and what they do to themselves or to others, I don't let that upset me, I can not control what other people do I can only control what I do, therefore why bother worrying or stressing even getting upset at what others do, they are the ones that have to live with themselves, I just know I want a good clean conscience, on my shoulders, I don't want to play a never ending game of who's right who's wrong, who's better who's not, with anyone."

Q — I still do not know how you do it, Not get hateful about some people who are mean or hateful to you?

A — "I actually have one person to thank for that, She used to be my worsest enemy, or she would at least call me that still today, I am sure.... however I do not call her that anymore, as I have learned from her what not to do, I have learned patience, how to walk away from someone that can not nor wants to change, or want help to change, I have also learned that by what she has done to me and others everyone sees who really is the problem, and I have learned to grow up because sometimes, that is what needs to be done people have to want to change and want to be a better person, I did not like the person I was becoming when I dealt with her, so I decided that to be the better person I wanted to be, I would not let her bother me nor upset me as she is looking for just that, a way to upset me, through the years of this I have learned the best way to deal with that type of person is not to deal with them at all, ignoring those that bother you makes you feel better about yourself and what you do. People like that look for reaction to fuel their fire to give reason behind their own demons... I didn't want to be her excuse for the reasons why she is why or who she is or what she does. Thats all on her now, not me..... and everybody has seen it and knows it, I enjoy my life now more then ever and that is who I want to be."

This conversation went on, but stopped shortly there after as we went on to better conversations and better happier times, My friends know who I truly am, and by me not hating anyone or disliking anyone, but tolerating them has made my life much easier, knowing you can not control what other people do is a key element in learning how to deal with certain people and just knowing that if that is who they want to be in this life and waste energy in doing so.... so be it.. Life is just to wonderful to pass up by keeping yourself tied to anger, hate, and above all worrying about what others are doing... I handle it as it comes, and just keep hoping an praying for those who are going through a difficult time in their lives, that they either get help or come to their senses and try to be better.

Movies with the daughter, Les Miserables

So youngest has wanted to see it, and to tell u the truth i am a sap for those types of movies. Sounds like Ann Hathaway will be great in this movie as she has always been great in her past movies.
I went and seen Sweeney Todd loved that movie. Johnny Depp a fine actor as he is made the movie. Had anyone else played his part it would not have been the same.
Ann Hathaway I believe will make this movie! I will find out in a few minutes, either way i ll have an update for you after the movie and when i get home.
