One Thing I Would Like To Do
Sitting here at work, reading some blog posts and trying to decide what to write about next and post, I am realizing how numb at times I seem to be. Like I am just watching the world go by and not even phased by it. I know this is not true because there are so many times I feel I want and need to make a difference. It is just finding that thing that would make a difference to somebody or a whole lot of somebodies!
I have things I want to do, places I want to see and people I want to meet. I want to share these experiences.
I also want to dive into my creative side more. To do paintings, drawings, singing, writing….so many things!
But I also want to understand me some more. Why I am dealing with the issues I have been dealing with, what makes them worse, how to make things better and be able to share these as well.
I go to counseling and read information and research to help myself. By doing these things, I realize, if there is definitely one thing I would like to do, it is to let others that may not have to ability to do this, for one reason or another, to see that they are not alone and there are ways to take care of you and make things better.
If I could combine all these things in together to do this thing I want to do, how awesome would that be?!?
Hmmmm……

A New Me Rising
As I come to this new arena in my life
I find I am further away from strife
I see the me I want to be
Working toward all to see
From guilt and shame, anxiety and fear
To understanding, enlightenment and being here
It’s amazing to no longer be self-despising
Because there is a new me rising

Had to share: All the Ways Wood Affects Your Wine, Explained — VinePair
Oak is winemakers’ salt. Used correctly, it can increase the intensity and complexity of wine, add attractive flavors, and elongate the finish. When it comes to “seasoning” wine with oak, winemakers have several options — and very different intentions. In white wines, oak can impart notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and caramel; in reds, oak adds…

Some other place…
I wonder….
Have you ever thought of living somewhere different? In another state or country from where you live now? I have thought of this a lot lately. Another country that is not too different but is definitely different than here where I am now.
I have thought about… Where I would be. How far I would be away from immediate access to family. Not knowing many people where I would be thinking of going, if any. How would I live? What would I do? How would I get by? Would I be able to support myself?
It’s quite overwhelming at times but then I realize I have all the time in the world to decide if I need it. It is all up to me and when I am ready.
Unless fate takes it in hand of course. 🙂

I would like to:
- Go to vineyards in Italy, Spain and France

- Touch people’s lives in some great way
- Make a difference in someone’s life
- Write a great story
- Do what I love
- Travel around the world
- Learn different languages
- Achieve my ideal healthy weight
- Do volunteer work
- Help out a stranger
- Publish a book
- Conquer my biggest fear
- Go on meditation retreat
- Go on a cruise
- Go to a costume party or masquerade
These are definite, and I know there are more. Good start though, don’t you think?
How about you? Do you have a bucket list or a list of things you want to do?

Here I am
So, here I am. Starting my blog to share writings, poems, ideas, thoughts and posts I love and want others to enjoy. I will hopefully connect with you and keep you coming back for more. If not, then it’s not meant to be for us and I hope you much joy in your life.
I have a passion for writing and for music, with a little bit of artsy in me (painting, drawing and making things). I love traveling, food, animals, people and learning new things on a daily basis.
I can’t wait to get started and dive in! So in the next few days, stay tuned and stay ready, I will hit many of these areas and look forward to you enjoying and giving good feed back whenever you feel the move to do so.
