Healing is okay too. #6

                                Trauma is a scary thing 

As a person everyone feels, everyone is always having emotions: sad, happy, angry, anxious, or even depressed. However no one is born with these mental illnesses or feelings they always come from something or someone that causes this. Today I want to touch bases on trauma that causes people to have feelings.  Over the last 27 years of my life I have experienced all kinds of different emotions, as a child I have carried that throughout my life with me. You never realize that something might affect you or move through your life, until you start to see patterns that maybe someone else doesn't. 

There's many factors that can cause traumas that could deeply impact a person's life, events like accidents, abuse, natural disasters, or loss of a loved one. When one experiences trauma it can lead to  physical, emotional or psychological ways, often will have you feeling fear,anxiety, and even distress. There are many different ways you can receive help but first you're going to have to acknowledge that there might be something that is bothering you. Coping with this trauma isnt easy but you can seek out support from loved-ones, professionally, and take the time for self-care and healing. 

Healing from trauma isn't easy, but you're not alone. There are millions of people every day that have to deal with different traumas, and getting professional help doesn't make you weak or less of a person, with that being said EVERYONE’S healing process is different. This is a long journey ahead of you, some people like to believe after seeking professional help all their issues go away.. From experience it takes a lot of self recognition,  patience, and dedication. 

Patience is the key within therapy because you have to give yourself time and compassion for oneself. It's important to create a safe place to be able to feel your emotions, memories and triggers that are associated with traumatic events. 

Don't allow the trauma to take your life and control it any longer. There are many resources out there that can help you. When you take the steps to start healing you will see a dramatic impact. There are ways to start taking steps into recovery, to gain your sense of safety, trust and resilience. Always remember healing is a personal and unique path!

Mayhem #5

                         The Bear Attack!!!

Mayhem Bear

Today we are going to talk about the Mayhem Bear ad these ads are so funny. It starts out with the guy talking about how it’s a bear season, walking out for the green trees and bushes with a small fish in his hand. He’s walking up to an unattended car, as you watch the small family walking away with a conversation and laughter knowing they are going out on adventure. 

Today is gloomy and rainy because the car windows and bushes have water drops on them, one of the small children is wearing a bright yellow raincoat, which makes everything around the car and “bear” gloomy and dark. 

The bear is starting to demolish the car to get the food inside because the family left the window down, causing attention to the smell of food. He starts to break off the door, windows shattering, ripping into the food cooler with rapid breaths and talking more deeply as a bear would sound, getting excited about certain foods like “Cheddar”. Once he raided the car and the food causing damage on the outside and inside. As he walks past the side mirror he smacks it off looking so effortless as a bear would. 

As all these terrible things happen, when this family comes back from the adventure, they will be upset because not only did their food get torn into and, left with nothing their transportation is also ruined and broken. This could cause anyone’s trip to be ruined. Mayhem wants you to know that they know that the most unexpected things happen in life, and that’s why you should get Mayhem insurance. 

They are trying to reassure people that it is not always simple things like car accidents, that accidents can happen anywhere and anytime and they want you to understand that you are covered with their insurance. Mayhem is another word for chaos, extreme events happen so if they have that as the name then you will be covered by anything.

Life Changing Experiences #4

                       Making Memories 

When something major happens in life we always look at the negativity thats happening, however I try to see the most beautiful things in life. On August 8th 2021 my best-friend had taken her last breath, and although it tore many peoples lives apart day by day. I was able to step out of my comfort zone and take a plane and adventure to a new city and state Billings Montana. 

During the fall season in October theres was a funeral arranged that took place in Montana, I bought a plane ticket and booked a hotel and went on a adventure ill never be able to forget, during this fall season it was so beautiful, nothing like iv ever seen in Arizona, looked like it came straight from a movie scene. Theres were beautiful colors every where, ginormous oak trees with the longest branches hanging off, and the most detailed roots buried under the ground ands peaking out through the dark brown dirty. The weather was different it had the cool breeze to it, it was like a fresh breath it wasn’t thick and cloudy like clean air you were breathing in. 

This trip was so important and made me realize allot, she always begged me to go out there with her since thats where she grew up, she had so much to show me. I took every part of Montana in and visited every place she wanted to show me, and I knew she was there beside me smiling so bright when I would get excited or mention how much she would speak on this impeccably town she got to grow up in. In Billings her last name was very known because of the race cars her family owned and raced in, so I got to go out to the tract with her family.  Although I was sad I had to visit for such a heartbreaking time and after she passed it taught me one of the biggest lessons in life. 

1. Go, go out with your loved ones, and never take them for granted. Be excited about the things they love. Don’t allow your fear hold you back.
2. Always find the positive in a negative situation. 

I now love to travel to new places since taking this spontaneous trip for her, she has opened me open from my box, and even though she’s not here with us today I know she’s by my each and everyday pushing me and now I live for her. In whatever you do in life always fine the positive in things even its small.

Do you have self-courage? #3

                              Do You Have a Favorite Treat?                                                                

Do you ever just look at something and know the flavor or maybe the feeling your gonna get it before actually eating it? I do. Trust me when I say theres just some treats you won’t be able to resist as I explain I hope you get the same feeling. 

Once you grab the individual wrapped, its a perfectly shaped small round quarter sized, that you grab from a bucket. As I hold this is my hand I can start to feel my jaw tighten on the sides causing a sharp lightning pain, my saliva is no longer thick but instead its turning into a thin water like texture causing a pool on top and under my tong.

As I start to place this ball of greatness in my mouth is first passes my nose, as this happens I can get that fresh clean smelling scent. Causing my nose hairs to strain against the smell trying to take in and keep that fresh smell. Once I drop this ball on the top on my tong I instantly close my mouth around is sucking my cheeks in trying to gather all the flavor off the ball shaped treat. Once the saliva starts to wrap around the this treat it will slowly start to leak this sweetness that turns into a nice cool sensation, causing a fresh breath if air in your mouth. 

The more you continue to move this around your mouth moving it from side to side, cheek to cheek loosening the flavors the shapes start to dissolve becoming smaller, making your tastebuds full of happiness. 

This is when you bit into once you bit into this it starts to spread more turning into a chalk like coating in your mouth and a thick coating your upper and lover back teeth, making it have you take the tip of your tong to remove this layer of coating, my personal favorite. 

Once its gone you regret eating it so quickly, that you want to go in for another one. Making you have the self courage you never with you had, and trying tp talk yourself out of having three more.

                         Your Next Book Boyfriend!!!

Do you love books? Have you ever picked up a book and couldn't put it down? Or maybe you did but all you thought about is whats happening in your book? Thats great, because this is for YOU!!! 

Over the last 3 years I have grown such a attachment to reading, I love all type's and kinds of books any shape or size. NO JUDGMENT over here! My top favorite to read is psychological thrillers, fantasy, romantasy I even enjoy some autobiography. Also is it just me or is it normal to have a TBR (to be read) the size of a my arm, 3 bookshelf's with countless unread books, or anytime you walk into a store you head straight for the book section to find a new book that you don't need to add to unread bookshelf you have. No? Okay great! 

                                    Join me in the Mass world!

Today I want to review a searies that is very close to my heart, a series I think about or reference at least once a day. I love each and every character, the story line, the villains everything about this series is my favorite. This was the first series I picked up that got me into my fantasy/romantasy ✨era✨.

Sarah J. Mass wrote a 4 book series, it has 5 books out but the 4th book is just a tie end to the 3rd book, A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACATOR). This book has such a chock-hold on me, its probably by far the best book I have ever read. This story is a captivating fantasy novel about Feyre a young girl who is also a huntress, who was drawn into  a dangerous world  of faeries after taking a life of a wolf. As she becomes part of this world she try's to learn how to navigate the treacherous courts, throughout this she finds love, betrayal and the true power within herself. This book is so beautiful and follows such a deep loving story, with enormous amounts of heart break, complex character's,  and a very vivid world-building. The amount of hours I have spent reading, and listening to this book is out of this world. I live, breath and love this series and character's in this book with everything in my being. 

                                  Having a True Love for Books.

Having a true love for books is incredible, its like having a entire world at your fingertips ready to be explored. Books have such a magical ability to transfer us to different times, places, and dimension's. They will make you laugh, cry, and cause a whole lot of different emotions. The character's become our friends and family, and their story's become apart of us as a whole. Rather thats getting lost in a thrilling mystery, or diving into a fantastical realm, books truly have a way of to ignite our imaginations and broaden our horizons. To me theres truly nothing like a new of a fresh new book, the crisp pages we get to turn, or being able to break in a new spine of a book before you read it. You can grow such a attachment to books, authors and anything they write, or even in a audiobook if I love how someone narrates the book as they read it I will find more books that person reads and listen to that also. My favorite place to listen to books is  Audible , I also read on a kindle. Below I will post some of my favorite authors if you would like to go check them out.

Painting is my peace #1

 As a child I would go over to my grandma’s house, during this visit, I always had to see her craft room. When you walked into this room you got hit in the face with such a strong scent a mix of cinnamon and spice, with a hint of fresh air. It was always a colder room in the house, when I walked in it would instantly make me happy. My nana always had me around crafts, whether that was painting, making jewelry, clothes, cups, or even clay making. Now that I’m an adult there's nothing better than painting, painting is such an amazing hobby to have. 

Painting is such a great way to relax and destress, it allows you to express yourself since there are so many different ways you can paint. My favorite thing to do before I start painting is light a fresh candle preferably Cinnamon, open the windows for the natural lighting with a fresh breeze, I will turn on the audiobook I’m currently listening to, or light jazz/ Motown fun music like; The Temptations )is a favorite band of mine( My girl )is their most popular song. However, Painting is credibly rewarding whether you're a beginner or an experienced painter, there are so many ways to learn nowadays. After you finish a painting it's always such a beautiful moment, “Did I really paint this?” I'm constantly in shock after finishing a painting. 

There are many ways to learn how to paint different techniques, and styles to explore and express myself. The beginning was hard for me because I wanted to be the best, I used the internet a lot but the main way I learned was by watching videos and following how to do it, and over time you pick up on techniques Step by Step is my favorite painting website. I will often use Pinterest if I need to find a picture of a landscape, how-to’s, or what materials I need to use to do something specific on my painting, Pinterest is a great reference for almost anything. 

Those are some of my personal paintings my favorite pieces, this is my favorite style of painting, I love landscapes, trees, and using a lot of different colors in my paintings. If you have ever thought about painting but were too scared I'm here to tell you just like anything practice makes perfect and to just do it rather than just putting anything you have in mind down on a canvas or watching a video. Either way, you won't regret it, it's incredible the things people can do in paintings. 

Practice #0

Today I'm writing about 2 different blogs and the difference in themTMZ and LittleBirdBookBlog, I liked LittleBirdBookBlog a lot after reviewing her blog. Im a huge book lover so this blog caught my eye right away. I enjoyed her blog because she went into great details about the book she reviewed. It was more of a casual/personal blog, this blog is very organized and put together very well. All black and white for the most part, everything was easy to find, rather it was a book you wanted to read her review on, or just contact her, very easy to navigate. Theres different columns about in her blog page; Contact me, book reviews, other blogs, about me, and home. Within each one of her column there''s a drop down that shows more you can pick from. The only thing I found about her blog that I disliked is to have a easier way to recommend books for her to review that the audience would want to see. 

Another thing I enjoyed is she also mentioned Goodreads which is a website that shows how many reviews a book got world wide. Theres also many other ways to read or listen to your books also now a days. I

Tmz isn't my favorite because it's a lot of drama and possible rumors about people, I know some people enjoy this type of blog, which if you do than this blog is great for you. Because this is a great way to keep up on celebrities lives, what's going on in the world, I did enjoy that TMZ shows a lot of pictures through their blog.
