Pretty In Pink... Perfect In Paisley!

Glorious...that's how I feel this morning!!! Just G-L-O-R-I-O-U-S! Have you ever had one of those reflective mornings where you know everything is falling into a solid position! The Gods have finally heard every plea, wish and prayer and now are making all the necessary arrangements to put every time consuming, strategic, intricate step into permanency. Yep, this is how I am feeling!!! In place!!! As I stand in this position, there is a different quality of air. I can for once see the cosmic stars aligning and  in a very long time, so it seems I am taking in healthier breaths... I am finding with each new day, I have become comfortable and at ease with my surroundings. I have allowed myself and given myself permission to move about freely with no need to run! No, I haven't landed that perfect job. No, I did not win the lottery. No I have not been asked for anyone's hand in marriage. Nothing physical has happened to change my current station. I am still in my two day a...

I would imagine it is just as much a thrill to be a new father as it is to be a new mom! Maybe you would have the expectations of doing things differently then your father. You would promise yourself you would NOT do like him, although at various points in dealing with your own kids, words would fall out of your mouth saying the same ungodly phrases that you told yourself you would never say! Looking back on any of our childhood moments with our dad or any of our parental figures, their intentions were no different than ours in regards to our kids. The same values we want for ours, healthy, happy and safe , held true for them too just sometimes their delivery at the time, never made sense! Maybe if kids from this generation stopped blaming their parents for how they turned out and started to understand where their parent's view came from most likely  they could be proud for the incredible individual they have become! If they stopped replacing fault with blame and looked...

 As far back as I can remember, I have wanted to write a book, a fictional story. In fact, I have attempted three other books but somewhere in the why of it all, I stopped writing. For some reason, it didn't seem important enough to me to finish the plot. My characters had no reason to be developed and get completed. I suppose at that time, the characters just didn't have enough substance or there wasn't enough going on in my mind although I had an intended story line. So what is the difference between now and then you ask?(giggle) Why now do I have this insatiable need to get this book wrote? Cookies and Crumbs is the only answer I can give.. .  When you know you are so hungry for something that you go for the one thing that you hope satisfies the craving! Also, Maybe??? I am so dissatisfied with my personal life that I feel if I develop these fictional personalities and develop their story line I can live vicariously through their crisis so my life does look...

If I could sound trumpets to wake y'all up I would! It is Monday morning...been up since 5ish with not a lot of sleep. I have quite a bit of activity going on in my brain right now, and the creative juices are flowing rampart. Before I even get writing let me ask for you to pardon my self-indulgence this morning...but I just checked stats on this blog and let me tell you it is soaring! So who ever is reading I thank you !!!! kindly and I ask that you continue. Narcissism, Addiction and The Only Child i s a hell of a title isn't it? And what does that have to do with me you ask?  I am not sure but let's find out shall we? I don't know if I really fall into any of these behaviors, but I am sure some of my traits might mimic the characterizations. I actually had to look up narcissism because a book I am trying to write one of my characters I thought might fall under this category. As I was reading the definition, "vanity, egotism and pride" I though OMG th...
