Animals.

I find it so fascinating how smart animals are, A lot of people disagree, and think they are just "stupid animals" Well i find that a little silly, considering if we were to be locked in a small house, with a bunch of things we couldn't understand, or communicate with, and never be able to do anything but eat the same old crap, sleep on a hard floor, and never be able to talk to anyone, we would lose our minds. And I'm saying that because it's what i think, it's a proven fact that we wouldn't have a normal functioning mind. I mean, dogs can learn so much, if you have enough time and Patience you would be amazed at what you can actually teach a dog!! I've seen dogs go "fetch" a shoe in a pile of shoes, and the man told him what color to get, and the dog pulled out the right shoe, in a pile of a bout 20 shoes... How can that even be possible, i think to myself sometimes.. But it is, and they keep amazing me every day.

the spider who weaves the perfect web.

Sometimes it's so easy to judge people, so easy, that i do it a lot more then i want to. Infact, i don't ever want to, and i find myself looking down on people, i find myself looking at very capable people who are mothers (capable of being better) and they're just treating there childrean like they mean nothing to them. And it makes me so sick to my stomach, and it's so hard to understand sometimes how there are women out there blessed enough to have such a beautiful gift, and then there are women out there who will never know the love between a mother and a child. Sometimes i think that's so unfair and horrible that i don't realize how judgemental i'm being... It doesn't take much to look at ANYONE and be able to place judgement, i have made enough mistakes, and i'm very far from perfect myself, and i'm sure there are people out there who judge me.. I Just want to know, if there are actually people out there who do not place judgement at all? Is it really possible to see such failures out there and be able to say a prayer for them with out looking at them as if they are so pathetic. If it is possible, i want to achieve it.


Sometimes i really see life as one huge spider web, Everyone is so tangled in a never ending chain of webbing. It just means, that everyone has there own problems, there own mess of some sort, tangled up trying to find a way out.. There are so many people trapped in there web, and can't seem to find the next move to make. I guess, what i'm trying to say is that there are people out there who are so tangled up in there own mess that when it gets to hard, they give up, they never feel the relaxation of being able to move forward, without any work. It's really easy to just decide it's too much work, and stop trying. But is it easier then succeeding? If you really think about it, yeah it's a lot of work to work for the things you want in life, but is it really easier to give up on yourself? When, giving up means constantly untangling your web for the rest of your life? It's a lot to think about, and probably a bit confusing.. but when i think about this tanlged mess i weave sometimes, i think about how easy it is to untagle myself when i just apply myself to the fullest, and then i watch others struggling with everything they have to be where they want to be, and i try to help as much as i can, sometimes i try to help others so much, i forget about my own self. It's hard to remember sometimes, that we are always the creater of our own webs, at the end of the day when we're trapped in our mess, we were the ones who weaved ourselfs in the middle of it.

Every beat means something.

Lately, I've been appreciating the fact that i found love in this life a lot more. Sometimes i tend to feel angry, or upset with the person i love, sometimes i take his love for granite... And I'm starting to really see beyond the surface here. I'm really starting to realize how grateful i should be to have love at all. Weather this love lasts until our eyes close for that sweet sleep, or dies out tomorrow, i'm still very thankful, that i met a person, who taught me more then i would have ever thought i could learn in such a short period of time. In a way, he helped me find myself better then i would have ever been able to. Sometimes, it's such a great feeling to know there is a person just like me in this world, whos heart beats with mine.



It can be so scary when you really start to see the reality in life, that one day everything fades away, the people, the places, and all of the things you know and love, they all fade away, and one day nothing that mattered to you so dearly, will not even matter at all. But being in love, and sharing everything that i have at this moment in time, with another person, a person who makes your world just a little brighter, makes everything less scary, and a little easier to accept. Because i really believe that when you find someone who loves you enough, even if it's just for the shortest of time, it REALLY is enough to make you feel like you received one of the Greatest gifts in life, true love. Because once your heart has been opened, and you're able to see life in a new aspect, you become a new person, a person who greatly appreciates everything you have, and of course, one day you will have to say goodbye to the person you love, it happens, and we all know it does. But there will always be that warmth in your heart, and those pictures in your head (if it's the real thing) of a time, and a place where you felt the best feeling there is to feel.

Scattered pieces of a puzzle.

Every now and then when my mind seems to skim through all of the memories of people and places i have stored away in the back of my mind, i stop and let myself indulge in the moment and it starts to bring me back to these times... Some of them are the best times, some of them are the worse times, but lately, it's taken me back to one memory in particular.


South Carolina

For some reason, i can't seem to get the memory out of my head. It could be because it was the first time where i was alone, really. I Had reasons to be there, but as those reasons seemed to get less, and less important, i started to appreciate what was really around me. As soon as i blocked out everything else, and focused on this pure, rich land, i became to fall in love with my surroundings. It may seem a little crazy, but it was the first time in my life i ever felt like i was supposed to be where i was. I can't explain the feeling that i felt.. It was like the strongest sense of Deja Vu i had ever felt before. These beautiful trees bending through through the streets, that were so alive with old energy, the sweet smell of the air, the ocean swaying back and fourth as the sun set and left the most beautiful colors in the clear sky, breath taking.
There was tall grass, which every time the light breeze would glaze the marash you could see every blade of grass slide against the other, Everywhere you looked, lovers holding hands.


I remember sitting in a Resturant, in the heart of downtown Charleston, and i got this sudden feeling of being in that exact place before. My body filled with chills, and i couldn't believe how real it felt, actually feeling like i've been some place i had never been in my life. I walked through a park afterwords, alone, it had a large water fountain and dipping my feet in, watching the ships in the ocean which was always in view while walking through this beautiful park... I felt like i was retracing my own foot steps, and it was the most calm, and relaxing feeling i had felt in such a long time. It was the first time i was ever alone and still felt so complete, and so peaceful. I felt like i belonged there, i felt like i never wanted to leave. Some of the streets i walked on, were made of red brick, and horse drawn carrages brushed by me, beautiful old buildings everywhere i looked, and the most freindly people i had ever seen before. There were beautiful flowers, and gardens around every corner... The history was screaming so loud through all of this beautiful earth, i couldn't help but take it in and appreciate every single inch of the ground i was walking on. Being there really changed my view on this beautiful earth we live on, and i believe it's there that i grew up a little more, and began to cherish my life, more then i'd ever thought about.


I know it sounds a little silly, but i truly believe that somewhere in another life, i walked those streets before, i touched those flowers with my flesh, and smelled the fresh air with my nose. I Really believe that the reason this amazing place gave me such a peace, and such a calm piece of mind, is because the pieces of my past life started to piece together a memory, one that i couldn't have ever possibly grasped without collecting the pieces of my past that my previous life left scattered around this magnificint world that we live in.


Just thinking about that time in my life, brings me the best peace i could ask for. Sometimes, i feel so sad for not staying, or going back, and i don't really know if maybe one day in the future i will return to that lovely place, or maybe this life holds other things for me... either way, i am happy to be blessed with such a beautiful world to live in.. and I will never forget the long days, and summer nights i spent in this amazing place.

Life is a paper.

I picture life as a huge white sheet of paper, the paper resembles the never ending possibilities this life holds, what can fit on that paper is like the mystery of not knowing how much time we have left. The wrighting that falls onto that paper, is our freewill, we can write anything we want on our paper and it will fall into place, even if the spelling is a bit off or even unreadable.(which could resemble weather or not we have regrets) But the beauty is that what gets written, is in pen there is no eraser, there's only more blank space to write the next sentence even better then the last to make up for what you want to erase, And that could be a good thing sometimes, because sometimes in our life, we wish to erase things a lot, But like our paper, if we go back in time to read over what we wrote, we might be glad that we never erased it after all.

Sometimes we want to put the pen down and not write for awhile, but the problem is, even if we put the pen down, the space will still be lost, if you follow? Sometimes the ink can flow out of the pen so perfectly and the words will fall together like a puzzle you thought you could never solve, and other times you will be so frustrated by the way all these letters tend to scramble on the page, feeling like it's almost impossible to put them together. And other people will come along, you'll notice how much space they take up on your paper, and sometimes you'll want that, other times you will feel like your running out of space for your own writing. Sometimes, they'll make it even harder to find the words to write, makes it even harder for the ink to flow.

Sometimes, there will be people who read your page and place judgement, even though you have no eraser, and couldn't have ever erased the things you don't other people to see, it will always be there, for people to see, and they will read it, and judge you by those mistakes you have made. Sometimes, you will hand your paper to someone else with pride, thinking they will admire you, and you will be suprised by the way they rip your paper in half. There are some people who will change the whole subject of there paper in order to make someone like what they wrote down. But the only way you will ever enjoy your paper, when all the space is faded out, and your pen no longer works, is to never lose your subject, never change your subject and to keep the subject strong through out the paper. Because, when you write, it comes from the heart, and flows through you so purely, and when it comes out on this white empty space, nothing feels better then to let the power of your heart, gather the thoughts from your mind and be SHINE so bright all over this white sheet of paper, i like to call LIFE.

Goodbye sweet summer.

So summer is pretty much over, and i have to say i am going to miss the long beautiful days spent by the pool, the beautiful mornings with absolutely perfect weather. Although, i am happy to be in a state with a warm winter, NO SNOW! The only thing that makes me sad is that i am going to miss the Michigan fall. The one and only thing about Michigan that i love the most is the season of colors! Watching the leaves change colors, and the streets become bright, watching the wind blow around all different shades of nature, as they tumble softly to the ground creating piles of beautiful leafs. And the cider mills, with the sweet smell of apple cider and all the animals preparing for winter. The haunted houses, and decorated homes, the unique costumes you see on Halloween night.. Long walks through the park with the smell of nature swaying through the air. Bright sunshines in the early morning that show the beauty of the season. The cool breeze that hits your face, and the fresh air that brings you peace.



I have to say, i really wish that i was successful enough to own a house in Michigan for the summer and fall seasons, and then live here for Winter and spring! There really is no perfect place for me to be, but if i had the best of both worlds, it would be near perfect for me.





Cheers for the upcoming season!
Hope everyone enjoys the weather, where ever you are.

Amazing women

While i went for a walk this morning, i started to really think about how lucky i am to be a women in todays world. It's hard to believe that not too long ago women were treated horribly, and in some countries, they're still treated that way. Looked down upon, viewed as incapable, and used. Sure, some men in America today still feel that way about women, but the best part of being a women today is that we are allowed to have our own opinion. We are allowed to create things, and we are allowed to shine! Some men hate the fact that we have an opinion, and that we have our own views in life, but at the end of the day we are allowed, and we should never forget that. Always remember that you have these rights, and that you can actually provide a life for yourself on your own. You can work, you can vote, you can have a say in just about anything you want, and that's pretty amazing considering how women used to have it. Sometimes we forget how hard other women in the past worked to make it this way for us today. So in appreciation to these amazing women, here are some interesting facts about amazing women who changed history.
