Lingering Thoughts...

My fingers rest on this keyboard…Contemplating my direction…lingering thoughts…that fill my mind…What’s a girl to do? I ask this very question. What’s the answer? Maybe what I should be asking is…What is holding me back? And the answer is…Me.
 The feeling of being stuck…I imagine a road…a road that leads to…Somewhere, but where? Who am I?
The answer…
I am a lover and a fighter…I am a vision…inspiration…devotion and dedication…I am a Mother…Always and forever.

I am who I thought everyone wanted me to be…A Mother. A Wife. A Friend… As for Me being Me…I am Passion…longing…This is the word that best describes Me. Passion and ever so Passionate…The feeling is exuberating. Like warm Apple Pie…The sweet taste.
Expression…how does one express? By living…living a Passionate life. Loving the life You live…Taking chances…Risk. Traveling into the unknown…letting the “What if’s” fall away…Fear…it cripples. It robs You of Your Passion…Feel the Fear and do it anyway…Easier said than done…Control. To be in total control…Of what? You.
I take a deep breath…Again I ask…Who am I?
Soon…One day at a time…One Piece at a Time…After all, time is on our side, and yet we are not promised tomorrow…What are we (Me) waiting for?
I take responsibility…I will not point the finger…I will not play the blame game…I will…I will…and I can. This life is good.
Be Good to You.

Kreativ Blogger Award

I was awarded the "Kreativ Blogger" award, from a Fantastic Writer...Anne over at Writer's Space...Thank you Anne. (I know I'm a little late on this post!) And am touched by her thoughtfulness...

The award comes with the number 7: 7 things about me and 7 bloggers to pass this award to. So here goes....

Seven facts about me...


1. I don't eat fast food. Would you believe me if I told you I haven't had McDonald's french-fries in over 5 years? At least.

2. I love all things Boudoir. And would love to be a Boudoir photographer...the body is a beautiful thing.

3. I love music, who doesn't? But love me some BIG BAND music. So fun and cheery. I'm sure you might know this from past posts...But Frank, Dean, and Ella are some of my all time faves!

4. I can touch my tongue to my nose...kinda cool and gross at the same time?

5. Currently watching all 11 seasons of Frasier on Netflix...right now I am in season 10...Can't wait to see how it ends.

6. I'm overly neat. I'm the type to fluff the pillows before leaving the house...and don't think I'm the only one who does this...

AND

7. My all time favorite movie is...Home Alone. I can watch this movie anytime of year...

I hope you learned something new about me...Believe it or not, this was hard to do...and sad to say shouldn't be...we should all have DOZENS of facts about ourselves....

Any you'd like to share?

Now for the 7 Bloggers...also not easy to do since I love every blog I follow...

1. Lucy over at Find Your Sparkle
2. Ms. Linds over at Oh Miss Linds
3. Deyanira over at Swirling Embers
4. Rachel over at Modeste Musings
