Time An Ever Changing Moment


Time does not stand still for no one, no how... that goes for our bodies, hair, eye sight, hearing, are getting were I'm going with this... things change all the time... 

In a matter of hours, it will be August 17th, 2011 and I will turn a young "51" and proud of it... You might ask yourself "Who" is that gal in the photo, well it's "ME" many years ago... I must say I was a thin gal back then (so was my brother who is in the picture with me).... as the years went by "I" became older, shorter (yes shorter don't ask me how) heavier, weaker eyesight, and the list goes on...

Two things for sure that have not change is my heart & soul... I still have a love of children & pets, I always try to hold the door for the person behind me, I say "thank you" when the time calls for it, I respect my elders even though I'm coming close to being an elder, I still "yes" I still get emotional & cry... my love for mankind hasn't changed, and I know in my heart there is only one "God" and I pray for "Peace" whenever I get the chance.

Most of all I "bEeLiEvE", and I'll always try to do unto other as you would do unto yourself... ENJOY LIFE to it FULLEST... you only have one life make the BEST of it...

WW, Yollet and a Pink Octopus


Today was a bizzy day, in a good way... Work, home ~ then I was off... My friend Robin loaned me her car again ~ yes my car is still not on the road officially... Must say God planted an angel with me by the name of Robin she is truly a blessing to me.. 

Okay so its 5 pm off to Weight Watchers I went...Once the meeting was over I went downstairs of the building where the meeting is held and went to a FREE class called "YOLLET" it a combo of yoga and ballet and boy did I work my butt off for a hour... once finished with class I decided to stop at the hair clinic to get 3/4's of my hair cut off ...yup if I didn't lose weight in the Yollet class I definitely lost it by having my hair cut....short but truly refreshing and most definitely it will be easier to care for...

Day two of the creativity journaling and at lunch I decided to draw this little gal... who I think is too adorable & pink... I must say, my day was a very productive day ~ I even declutter my office desk drawers woo hoo...

Going to call it a night... off to sleep...

Have a honey of a night ~

365 Days Of Creativity, A blOZ Banner, 40 Day Challenge N' "1" Morpheus Dog



Yes today is the FIRST day of August ...boy how times flies, it seems like yesterday was Memorial Day... sometimes I wonder how fast the day goes by and how much I didn't accomplish in that day... but I definitely can't say that about today... I was ONE busy chickadee on a mission to accomplish ~ yup a mission to accomplish and accomplish I did...

One of them is the 'Journey of 365 days of Creativity" ...I decided to not do these posts on this blOZ maybee occasionally here or there, like today...The first official creative adventure I did was the beeginning of the makings of my blOZ's new banner, oops so sorry forgot to tell you where you can catch these creative creations at my other blOZ http://www.queenbeeofcreativity.blogspot.com/


its going to bee a fun journey.  Yes I did start a 365 journey on "bEes" but I failed with keeping that one alive, not sure what made me poof out on it but I did... as for this journey ~ I will be creating everyday something, whether a drawing, a robot, a doll, a doll house, a collage, so on & so forth you get the picture...  and I will most definitely included a bEe in my art...The bee could be a big part of the creation or it might just bee a little bee... this is going to be fun & mind opening... Which I need at this time of my life, to regroup and find a purpose for me to look into and achieve...  so above & below you will find the steps of me creating a character for my new/old bloz banner...I am truly loving her and I'm not even finish with her yet... please let me know what you think of her...

 





Now this other adventure I'm going on is the "40 Day Challenge" hosted by Tricia Waltman on Facebook ~ Tricia gave me the okay to record my journey on my blOZ... please stop in and see the process & progress ....the challenge consist of 30 minutes of exercise everyday, 10 minutes of decluttering and eating healthier everyday and recording it...  Today I accomplished 2 15 minute walks with my pupz...  Second I'm very happy with my decluttering instead of 10 minutes I keep going and made it 20 minutes and last but not the least was how was my eating a habits ~ rating 10 the highest & 0 rock bottom, I would say I did a 5 (not good)... tomorrow begins a new day and I know that I will do much better than,,,

And last but not least I'm getting my drawings together for a book that my cuz' Kelly wrote ...its a really meaningful & great book... once its out on the market I will let everyone see the pics... too boot kelly already got an okay to do a reading of it at a lovely place in Red Bank wooo hooo you go Kel...

I think I'm going to call it a night... need to do a couple of things before I go to sleep....  I'll leave you off with a wish ~ that you too get to accomplish something today...
