Wanderlust Wednesday & Friends.




Beach + Mojito + Friends = Perfection!

I'd love a day at the beach with my besties. You know who you are!
But, wait I forgot one thing... 
NO cell phones allowed. 

So, yes that means that I can't have my Droid with me...YIKES!

And no Facebook. 

I'm not sure I could handle it.  I'm sure I could.

Could you?

This post is a special shout out to my besties, the special few.

Stay exactly as "you" are. 

Thank you for all of your love and support.

You rock!

HELLLOOO...It's been awhile!

I will be the first to admit it, I've been MIA.  Yes, I took a little break from blogging.  You see, blogging, in my opinion, is a very "personal" thing and when your personal life has some bumps, jumps and leaps...sometimes your not ready to share it...baby steps.  SO, you guessed it I took a little break.  A few.  Anyhow, I'm back and badder than ever.  Sorry, I couldn't resist.  Had to say it!  Funny, I know.  Well, at least I try.  I'm back!

I am a firm believer that everything and I mean absolutely everything happens for a reason.  Let's take this a step further...  People come in and out of "each" of our lives at all different points in time and ALL of it happens for a reason.  Absolutely everything happens for a reason.  This is non-negotiable.  It does.  And it's one of lives little facts.

A good friend of mine, Kori, from Blonde Episodes recommended I read "the five people you meet in heaven" by Mitch Albom and let me just say WOW!  I'm not done yet, but I will finish it up this weekend.  A truly amazing book.  If you've read it - you know exactly what I mean.  I highly recommend it and it's a quick read. 

This book is pretty amazing to me because re-affirms my belief that everything and everyone in"your" life happens for a reason.  Let me share a little something from the book:

Page 1 starts with ..."It might seem strange to start a story with an ending.  But all endings are also beginnings.  We just don't know it at the time."

HELLOOOOOOO!!!  Oh so true!  I love this book.  And thank you Kori for recommending it to me. 

Each and every one of us brings a "special" something to each person's life that we encounter...even if it is short lived, momentary or long-term.  I think this might be why I am such an upbeat, energetic person.  And don't you worry I'm not like this happy 24/7 but, I do have my moments.  Anyone that's been in my life over the past 6-months definitely knows this.  But, regardless of the situation "I" am still here - I just might be hiding a bit.  On a side note, I make it a point every day to smile at everyone I encounter because it may just make that person's day.  Sorry, but I do really do "do" this.

I can officially say on this here blog that I am starting a new chapter in my life.  I've "set" the ball in motion.  I'm just sayin'...so, be ready for changes to ...this & that... and new posts, etc.  Don't worry I will keep some of the same - I'm just going to add some spice.

Alrighty, time for dinner and I'll catch you later.

Happy Valentine's Day.

I wish all the "special" people in my life a wonderful day and
I hope each of you shares it with the ones that are near and dear to your heart! 
I'm very thankful to my fabulous friends and family, all of you mean the world to me.
I hope this day is special for each and every one of you.
 
 
Some of my favorites on Valentine's Day are chocolate covered strawberries, peach roses and of course receiving a Valentine from those "special" people in your life. 
And I received one yesterday in the mail, a phenomenal "special" girlfriend sent me a Valentine. 
Thanks Ms. Kori, your a doll.  It seriously made my day!
 
 
Oh, I'll be wearing a fabulous Valentine's ensemble as well...my black suit, red top and red shoes too.  Yes, I will be looking very sassy and "red" today! 
A shout out to two "special" people in my life...
Bill and Brenna, I hope you have a absolutely beautiful day today, Happy Anniversary!
