Music Monday: The Voice

My favorite performances from 'The Voice'

I know I'm late but who were your favorites? Were you please that Cassadee Pope won? I was. When she sang 'Cry' I did just that. I cried. She was a winner in my eyes!

Let me tell you what I do when I don’t know what to do to move my dreams down the road. I usually just try to figure out what the next step is and then do that. I know it sounds too simple, too formulaic; it seems like must be more to it. But there isn’t. For most of us that next step is as easy as picking up the phone, sending an e-mail, writing a letter, buying a plane ticket, or just showing up. After that, things start happening. Things that perhaps have God’s fingerprints on them. You’ll know which ones do and which ones don’t. Pick the ones that do.

What’s your next step? I don’t know for sure, because for everyone it’s different, but I bet it involves choosing something that already lights you up. Something you already think it beautiful or lasting and meaningful. Pick something you aren’t just able to do; instead, pick something you feel like you were made to do and then do lots of that. You weren’t just an incredible idea that God never got around to making. The next step happened for the world when God dropped you on the planet. You’re here and I’m here. God decided to have us interesect history, not at just any time, but at this time. He made us to be good at a few things and bad at a couple others. He made us to love some things and not like others. Most of all, He made us to dream. We were meant to dream a lot. We’re not just a cosmic biology experiment that ended up working. We’re part of God’s much bigger plan for the whole world. Just like God’s Son arrived here, do did you. And after Jesus arrived, God whispered to all of humanity … “It’s your move.” Heaven’s been leaning over the rails in the same way ever since you got here, waiting to see what you’ll do with your life.

Happy Friday!

Hola!

It's Friday! I have to work all weekend! Joy!

So lately I have been lacking motivation to get my life in order... and by that I mean many aspects. Maybe it's because I self diagnosed myself with SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) lol. I'm not sure what it is. But I found this website Bikini Body Mommy. And although I'm not a mother I like her tips and her how to's!

I belong to the gym and don't go. I have a trainer and didn't go. I actually had to cancel him this week. I felt like I was totally wasting my money. I went so irregularly that I wasn't seeing results and paying wayyy too much. So let's see if maybe this will give me some inspiration! Maybe for you too!

You can also check out her facebook page. If a mother of 3 can lose weight so can I! I like to pretend I'm soo busy but really it's just in my head and I like to sleep a lot. SHAME ON ME!

Have a wonderful Weekend!

Give Thanks!

Afternoon!

The most wonderful time of the year is here. It is also the busiest time of the year, not only for work but also just shopping for Christmas, making time for family and friends can all get overwhelming but I will chive on. On Thanksgiving Day of course we all realize all that we have to be grateful for but what about the rest of the year? There is so much we are blessed with that we do not take time to give thanks. It is def. an easy thing to forget.

What are some thing you are thankful for?

I am thankful for so much. My 25 years of existence has been exceptionally grand!

On a larger scale I am thankful for...

- Being blessed with an unconventional family but never feeling unloved not a day, minute or second of my life.

- I am thankful for my second family which includes my sister and my wonderful friends. Through the years you lose some and gain some but those who have stuck it out with me and have served as an amazing support system as well as a source of endless laughs. I am ever grateful.

- I am thankful the essentials: having a wonderful career, a roof over my head, and a full belly.

- I am thankful for my health, although these migraines have been giving me a run for my money, they will not stop me!

On a smaller scale...

- I am thankful for this past year. All the places I have been, people I have seen and experiences I have gone through that have shaped my vision for the future.

- I am thankful the Holiday season is upon us! It is most def my favorite time of the year, well besides summer of course!

- I am ever thankful for the sunshines warmth.

I am thankful for rebuilding.


I know it has been awhile so here is some link lovin'

- 5 Reasons why saying 'Yes' is saying 'Thank You'

- OMG. I cannot stand musicals but cannot wait to see ' Les Miserables'. check out the trailer here.

- Woman that does not apologize for her appearance.

- Why you "sign" actually isn't your "sign". hmmm interesting.

Anyway. Have you seen the new 'Twilight' movie? I treated myself last night! It was by far my favorite. It was great! I'm sad it is over. But they gave me life with the 'Hunger Games' sequel!

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. And try giving back this year!

Music Monday: Skyfall

I went to see Ben Affleck's new movie, 'Argo' with this nice young gentleman. And I quickly found out I was no longer interested in him due to a short conversation we had during the previews. I know this might sound really petty but I was upset.

 The previews are my favorite part of going to the movies. So I was kinda ticked he wanted to have a full conversation during them. But I played along. So I told him I was excited for all the new movies coming up in the next few weeks. And he asked what they were. So the first thing that came to mind was the new Bond movie. He asked me who was playing Bond. So this was my first side eye. I responded, Daniel Craig. He then proceeded in asking who that was... So I went into detail about who Daniel Craig was and what other movies he has been in. Then what really just turned me off was he asked if he was British. I was completely done at this point. And if you cannot understand my frustration well then shame on you.

I'm sorry I like movies a lot. And I like my, "movie partner" to have similar interests. That is all.

Anyways, excuse my rant! lol. I saw, 'Skyfall' this weekend and it was AMAZING! Probably my favorite Bond movie with Daniel Craig. And loved, loved, loved the intro with Adele's song. Very fitting. Have you seen it yet? Thoughts?

This is the end
Hold your breath and count to ten
Feel the earth move and then
Hear my heart burst again

For this is the end
I’ve drowned and dreamt this moment
So overdue I owe them
Swept away, I’m stolen

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall
At skyfall

Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are dark
You may have my number, you can take my name
But you’ll never have my heart

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall

[2x]
(Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall)

Where you go I go
What you see I see
I know I’d never be me
Without the security
Of your loving arms
Keeping me from harm
Put your hand in my hand
And we’ll stand

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together

Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At skyfall

Let the sky fall
We will stand tall
At skyfall
