I don’t think anything can calm me as much as writing does. Be it a blog post, poem or even a post-it reminder – I love to see my thoughts on paper. With that said, feel free to share your thoughts on this poem I just wrote (which is why it is yet to be titled hence the title of this post) and the pic below which was taken from a suite in a lovely hotel called The Crane in the south of Barbados.

You know that feeling deep down inside,
A numbing pain you cannot hide.
A hurt so great you cannot think,
Speechless and unmoved with every blink.
The love is thick.
The love is pure.
The love remains even when sore.
The love heals while it mends,
It’s the only cure on which one can depend.
The love hurts sometimes right to the core,
The love forgives and comes back for more.
Say what you will it won’t count
The love endures for those who have no doubts.
Let go of the pain and let love in,
Share, but the love is more about giving.
It is for those who have no boundaries,
Or set limitations on it’s varying degrees.
It is blind and leads with faith
It waits for all to find the way.

5 Things…


It’s time for another blog for you to get to know me! *YaY* 🙂 This time it’s 5 things I could not live without daily from the same blog that I got the Blog Hop from.

1 Lip balm

The amount of lip balms I own makes me wonder if I have a problem. I’m always trying new ones even when I think I’ve found the one. But when all else fails, I have my Vaseline to back me up! It has never failed me.

This is what I could put my hands on but I know for a fact that I have more around the apt… Obviously lip conditioners/gloss are not included (for a good reason)

2 Water

Let’s just say, I HAVE to have a glass of water every day. I don’t know how people drink other drinks all day and do not have water. I don’t think there is anything more refreshing than a glass of cold water! We have a water cooler in our home…

I use these bottles as exercise. Most of the time, I lift them into the apartment myself 😀

3 Sugar

When I do not have something sweet and sugary, it’s a wrap. A sugar fix is equal to my glass of water. And I’m too embarrassed to post any pictures related to this. Sometimes I have sweets there that I don’t want in order to stop myself from having it when I know I shouldn’t be (even if I get something else at least it wouldn’t be double the sugar). No questions please. I settle with saying I have issues lol.

4 Shower

Even when I’m sick, I must have a shower. A shower always makes me feel better. At least once a day. I like to feel clean at some point within a 24 hour time frame!

5 Sleep!

On our recent trip to San Francisco, sleep was something I didn’t have. When I don’t have a minimum of 8 hours (yes EIGHT) I am the crankiest person ever. 7 hours is not enough either. 9 is best, but 8 is enough. I also think a lack of sleep contributed to my cold which I’m still trying to get over.

There you have it! I’ll look for more of these to do or you can suggest some if you want. Thanks for reading!

Success – QOTD


Recently someone on my Facebook way asking if anyone really loves their job. I replied saying my husband does for sure and so do I (yes we all know I don’t have a legitimate paying job but it is one). I found it funny to read this quote this morning while checking my email and it pretty much sums up why, for some, money is not an issue when it comes to having a well paid job. Overall, success is the joy you feel when you have poured blood, sweat and tears into something and you would do all over again, without any doubts.

Have a wonderful weekend!
