Crazy in Love...

First off, I would like to thank you for taking the time to park on my page for a little while & entertain my daily craziness ;)

First and foremost, I am a woman, a mother, a friend, a confidant, and a softy... However, my true goal is to be an ambassador to all - to be an ear or two to my friends, acquaintances or passerbys... I wish to leave your life a little better than what it might have been... I hope that I will have made a difference - in a positive way... I am truly gratified by being able to be there for someone in their time of need or joy and in turn learn from others! :)))

You will find that I am a Realtor by trade, however, with a philanthropist mentality...

However, here we will talk about everything under the sun... Follow me as I also chronicle my 'Get Healthy' Journey as Georges and I 'shake it off and firm it up' :) ~ It is Insanity, Baby!

From the "City that Never Sleeps" (New York) yes, thats where I hail from... to another Great City.. Las Vegas - which I now call home. I'm a proud mom of a beautiful 13 year old boy (my inspiration & my reason) and in love with my best friend!

I'm very open & positive and wish to meet people who exude the same kind of Zest for Life!!

Missing my coffee… however, my spirit is stronger than my body…

Still feeling upbeat – how is your fast going?

I am following the www.Daniel-Fast.com

#Nutella update! Showing the love! ~xo

Okay… so… I promised a photo of my Nutella crêpe… here it is below… do not judge me for the cross eyed look – I cannot help it – either I had to look at the camera or adoringly at my dessert… dessert won!

W-I-N-N-I-N-G ! =0)

#ThrowbackTuesdays - Groove is in the Heart! ~xo

It is that time loveys!

#ThrowbackTuesdays is here!

I found a fun one! I used to dance to this all the time in the 90s – I used to blare it in my apartment that I shared with my aunt and we would clean, dance, cook… or just plain have fun!

I hope you enjoy it too!

My fav part is the Boop, boop, bi, do, boop part! So like me!

Remember Groove is in THE heart!

A time to draw nearer... nearer to my Lord!

Yes, it is Shrove Tuesday! I will not be making pancakes…  (already did that on the weekend for my boy) however, I will be enjoying a Crêpe & you know what it will be made of… do not act surprised… I am not, lol!

It will be made of Nutella, baby! Why would it be anything else?

I am on my way as we speak to the shop – when I return – I will have a photo in hand & a belly full of that gooey goodness! Ahhh… cannot wait!

Tomorrow starts the sacrifice =)

To be accountable, I will share with you the following down below.

For those of you who know me, I am Christian – Lent is celebrated in the Catholic calendar… not so much for us – However, fasting is always a way to sacrifice your belly and desires in order to pursue a closer relationship with God… that is my goal and desire! So… with that being said, I am going to use the time allotted for Lent as an outline for my own fast…

For the first 21 days (this is considered the Daniel Fast):

-          NO Meats

-          NO Poultry

-          NO Dairy (this includes cheese), no eggs

-          NO Sweets

-          NO Wine

-          And this is killer for me… NO Coffee… :/ (this will be worse than not having sweets)

The remainder of the time – I will lay off the sweets and anything else God puts on my heart…

I pray and hope that who ever is celebrating Lent, may you have a blessed fast and may you draw closer to God as this is the true goal of fasting.

Be blessed…

There is no way that you can listen to this song and not move it... if you are driving - well, hopefully you are not viewing this post - however, if you are... dance in your seat... who cares if the car next to you thinks you are nutz! I do it all the time =)

Happy Friday, loves!

#Character ... ;-) #ThursdaysThoughts

I know today is not #WedWords … however, this was floating in my brain and I wanted to share it…

It takes Character to get things done! What does character mean to you?

Character - Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, Citizenship

 

100-inspiring-character-designs

 

I aspire to demonstrate each one of these pillars of Character everyday… I hope you are the recipient of it! =)

#WedWords - Arsenic Hour :-/

#WedWords: Arsenic Hour  -  the time of day when both children and parents have come home but dinner has not yet been served, seen as being difficult due to everyone being tired and hungry

Pictureschildrencrying



I cannot speak for you… however, I know that I experience this almost everyday… I, myself, become cranky trying to make sure that everyone is taken care of knowing that I have things that I want to do for some ‘me’ time…

Can you relate? If so, how? J

Throwback Tuesdays - Madge's Way ;-)

In the spirit of the Giants winning – wanted to Throwback with some Madge! Just had to throw that in there!

Let’s go back to 1987 when she decided to be bilingual and wax on to La Isla Bonita!

Til this day I still lurve this song… I can sing all the words and dance to it always… it is fun and sultry at the same time…

I hope you had a great Monday… now, let’s throwback a bit and sing along…

 


Tropical the island breeze
All of nature wild and free
This is where I long to be
La isla bonita
And when the samba played
The sun would set so high
Ring through my ears and sting my eyes
Your Spanish lullaby

#MAC & Me...

Can you believe it?

I finally gave in... yes, I did... I could not believe it myself... however, necessity is the mother of invention & how, oh, how could I start to invent such greatness if I did not adapt and take it up a notch...

Yes, I am talking about my newest acquisition... a MacBook Pro!

I bought it a few weeks ago and have hard a time crossing over or even trying to figure her out... yes, my Mac is a she :)

Many know me as being an Android lover and I have no intention of crossing over to an iPhone - do not like them - maybe it is because I do not know how to appreciate one - does not matter - Not Interested!

My Macbook was bought for business purposes... let me make sure that I use her - she was an expensive write off... lol

I will say that the dear Mac person that sold me this baby was so patient, informative and helpful that I will recommend him time and time again! So... if you are like me and in search of a Mac - let me know, I will pass you the info...

For now, I am onto new pastures... discovering and learning what this machine can do... too bad it cannot bring world Peace!

#ThrowbackThursdays – Coooool Rider ;-)

#ThrowbackThursdays – Coooool Rider ;-)

 

Omigosh! I was dreaming of this song and literally woke up singing it! I just had to share it for this week’s Throwback!

"I think he's in love."

"I think he's kinda cute."

"I think you two should shut your yaps."

 

 

I know that it is not a song on the charts, however, when Grease 2 came out – I fell in love with Michelle Pfeiffer and her version of ‘Cool Rider’… yes, I know this is more of a chick song, however, I hope you gents can appreciate her asking for a cool guy – which is what you are, right?!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Have a super day, my loves and thank you for always tuning in!

#WedWords - Vapid - #Bachelor ;-)

#WedWords: Vapid: lacking or having lost life… flavorless!

 

So, I was watching The Bachelor the other night and this word kept on getting thrown around by Emily in regards to Courtney… it was quite funny – I have used this word once before and had not heard it again until Monday night…

To be quite honest – I think Boring Ben is quite vapid – he is so dry – he must be my least favorite bachelor to date… he definitely is lacking flavor – Courtney on the other hand is just downright Crazy & Manipulative – not really vapid – to be quite honest – she is quite lively! I am only continuing to watch this show because I embarrassingly admit that I enjoy the ‘lady’ drama… not the crying – just the back and forth…

So, there’s your word for the day or even week! Go ahead and think of people or situations that bring the word vapid to mind!
