Blog What?

I am a freelance writer, children's author and avid journal writer so when I was asked to write blog pages I thought what do I really know about blogging. I have a few friends who blog and I of course love to read their random thoughts and daily ins and outs, but I have never blogged, or have I? I am addicted to Facebook and post the most meaningless chatter so is that blogging? I read the definition that blogging is frequent, chronological, publication of personal thoughts with web links. Seems simple enough. So here I am jotting down my random and likely useless thoughts.I must say though if their was a blog that I actually got something from it's from Kandee Johnson. She is a ray of sunshine in type. Everytime I read her words I feel uplifted. She shares her life's detail with ease and turns even the worst day into a blossoming garden of love and hope. I have to say that's not me. I don't want to admit to being a pessimist but it runs in the family! I always tell others to be positive and that all will be okay then I go home and complain, worry and fret over my own life's junk and mess. Still hoping Kandee's words might rub off on me. Anyway here goes with the blogging to see what it's really about, why people do it and if anything save a few trees by throwing my thoughts out on paper and relieving some space upstairs for more random thoughts to appear. If anyone should stumble across my rambling please forgive me.

A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words

I'm sure you've heard the phrase, " A picture is worth a thousand words". This phrase comes to mind  when I look at a photo of myself from October of 2018. The photo was taken during Halloween and I had dressed as a gypsy. No offense to anyone who has a "gypsy" heritage/ancestry. Since I was young I have been fascinated by old movies featuring the typical gypsy fortune teller. And I have loved this image with all of its magic and mystique ever since. So I was so excited to dress up and hand out candy. I took a photo of my garb in all its glory. Then upon seeing this image I was instantly saddened at what appeared before my eyes. Look at this fat lady. My goodness how did I become so wide? I was horrified at my now scary costume. I have struggled on and off with weight gain since high school. I started putting on pounds in 7th grade. You can see that my face was becoming fuller in the school photos. I was a solid size 16 in ninth grade. I lost some weig...

The Sinking Ship of Depression

If you are triggered by talk of depression please don't read any further. Take care of yourself. This post is a personal reflection of how someone without depression sees this illness and expresses personal opinions of such. I never really understood what depression was or what it looked like. Though to my surprise I had seen it before in my mother, it is still a mystery to me.  Sure I have had deep feelings of sadness over a loss of a loved one, a beloved pet, a friendship that unraveled, or a personal failure of some type. But I always shed my tears, took a nap, gorged on carbs and sugar and moved forward. But when someone close to you experiences depression you realize it is more than a deep sadness. It's this gnawing monster that lives inside of a person and they have to battle this beast daily. Some days are better than others, but I know when the monster is strong, those days are the worst. And this is looking on from the outside. I see the struggle to be strong. I ...

Bacon Makes Your Clothes Fall Off

If you haven't heard of the Keto Diet you may be living under a rock. Keto is the newest craze that dieters across the US are flocking to. You will see Keto products on the shelves in the diet/nutrition section of your supermarket, as well as TV commercials for Keto weight loss shakes, meals, etc. It's not surprising that the Keto craze began, because the first things you hear about this diet are that you can eat all of the bacon, butter, and cheese you want. No calorie counting just eat bacon and fat and your clothes will fall off. So you are intrigued by this mouth watering offer and you start researching Keto. There are many websites, books, social media groups, and videos available at your finger tips. Many people share their before and after photos, which make your jaw drop.
