Just A Day Like Any Other

Today was "Just a day Like Any Other….." I don't mean that in a facetious, redundant, arrogant way.  I just like you…… conquered the day. I worked on several wristlets clutches. This one is designed with some of the beautiful sari trim I found over the weekend….. Spoke with some European connections on 3 different design logos for the bags……… Found some embellishment elements that I cleaned out my L.A. resource on….. and they didn't remember where they purchased them…….. chatted with friends on the many challenges of raising kids….. and had a fabulous dinner. With its many facets of the day I just reminded myself…… "Today Was Just Like Any Other……."

Making Wise choices............

 Grand Mere is in a different state these days........Time/Life is something to not take advantage of....  Sometimes we can misconstrued the essence of  the....Time/Life,.......The value........ The impact of "who" and why".

I've dropped everything for the moment.......................................

What If...........

I believe life makes who you are.......... Based on the encounters you have crossed. Some lame, yet some GREAT!!!!!

Some you wished you never had to face..... But you know what??????t.... At the end of the day you can see how these "things of life" have shaped you to be ...well....YOU.

I don't know what tomorrow may bring..... 

but I do know I love the current mini-farm......

and I could NEVER eat my Maya.......

Peace, Love, and don't eat my Maya's Chicken wing.......

Beating to a Different Drum.....

These past few months has had me thinking back into the past. My family has never been and never will be thought of as normal examples. As far as I can remember my family was always about "making a difference". My Grandfather, was an engineer without formal training. As a Senior Master Sargent.... in the Air-Force. He worked on, and perfected the "release mechanisms" on the B-52 bomber. My Grandmere after being a Housewife of 33 years, went to college at the age of 53 to earn her BA and taught English as a Second Language in a private University. My Mother was very prominent in her day, over achieving what was not expected of the time including a Masters in Nutrition. My Aunt (who has since past) has/had earned more Masters (3 to be exact) to choke a horse--- from Ivy league Universities including Berkely!!!!!!!--- And then there's me..... Well....... let's just say.... I aspire to do my VERY BEST to be my own individual as I was created to be. I'm thankful that I was taught to beat to a different drum..... Grandmere would sometimes use a bit of Choctow----ism (I call it..... apparently pow-wows were used to get things off your chest......... I LOVED to hear these Stories from my Great Cousin Vietta who past 2 years ago)----------"if you see your beats close to another...... it's time to refocus, regather, and slow the rhythm......" As I've said before.... I aspire to be the leading voice not the broke record.....

I have officially .... put my self on hiatus.... searching new things, reflecting on old things. AND asking God for the Direction at hand..... I have been TRULY blessed in by spiritual, mental and physical walk. I'm meditating in the word on my new directions. I'm getting CRAZY EXCITED as to what new things the LORD has put into my path! I just love this video.... it related to my mental process.... enjoy!!!!
