Dietary Changes Part: 2

-
  When I was in high school, during my second year, I found myself eating more fried foods and drinking more milk than usual. I thought it was okay, not the healthiest, but what school provides healthy food? They love promoting it, but they don’t necessarily enforce it. Everyone was fine eating it, so what could go wrong? I was eating spicy fried chicken sandwiches and cheese-stuffed pizza, and I learned that dipping them in ranch or blue cheese tasted good. I drink chocolate milk, and on Fridays, I treat myself to ice cream. The year before was exciting, my grades were great, and everything seemed new and exciting. Sophomore year became the opposite. I didn’t understand why, but it was like flipping a coin. Everything was exciting, but everything was boring; topics were not interesting, the teachers were even pissy and annoyingly difficult. On top of everything I was dragging. I felt so fogged up. As if I could sleep all day. My case manager saw what was going on with my cla...

Germany Trip 2023

-

 

I have to admit that I am in quite a funk. I don't know what it is...

You may have noticed that I have not been posting as much. Not that I don't want to...

I used to talk about my blog a lot with Morgan. With him passing away so suddenly it threw me off my course with this blog. I assure you am still here and I am still posting.

On the bright side, Germany was amazing! Frankie and I took a lot of photos. Some of them I will be selling at: https://www.naturallynaturephotography.com. I realize that I spoke about this half a year ago and I thank you for your patience. If I say so myself, my photos make a great gift for any occasion.


We went to Germany to visit my family after not being able to see them for five years. Too long of a wait. It's always great seeing how much my family has grown and still is. Just recently this year I had two new cousins come into this exciting world. 

During our time in Germany, we celebrated my sister's and brother-in-law's wedding and my 31st birthday.





                                        We went wine tasting in the Winebergen. (Wine Hills) 




Oh, the Phalzer wine is fantastic. There is truly nothing like it. And the vineyards reach out so far and wide they seem endless.


We went hiking around in the deep dark Phalzer Wald. You can take a walking/ bike path from town to town without worry of cars. You can also easily get lost in the woods on a hike with no one else in sight. These woods were so dark and thick with trees that very little light came through the trees. 



 You will never know what you might find hidden in the woods.

Along with mushrooms, moss, and trees, you also may find a castle, a medieval tower, or even a beer garden.

These woods were so dark and thick with trees that very little light came through the trees. 



                                                    We took a tour of nearby castles. 



                            Then we ate and drank a wonderful feast where the Frog King sits!

On the evening of July 26th, we rush to this tower climb the three hundred steps.


At the top, we found endless views of mountains and woods

With just seconds left not knowing that Morgan just has taken his last breath I capture the final sunlight.


As we get back we find the bees sleeping peacefully on Lavender marking the end of our adventure.


But do not fret! When an adventure ends another begins. 





This past Thanksgiving I received the joyous news that I am going to become Tante Lena! (Aunt Lena)
The due date is on my Birthday!

                                                      I am so excited and I just can't hide it!

Education

  Education! The simplest and most challenging thing one will go through in one's life. Simple because all you have to do is sit down and read a book on a subject you know nothing about and question what you are reading allowing it to shape you, along with gaining hands-on experience by practice or trade. It’s coming across a problem and wanting to solve it. It’s the hope of finding something new or creating something new.   So, what’s challenging about it? Is it commitment? Or is it the expectation?   What is more intimidating?   If you find enough interest in something, and make it essential to you, you will commit to it with no problem.  The essentials are budgeting money, cooking food, and whatever else is needed to survive and stand alone.   Unfortunately, the classes that teach this are not normally required.  The requirement is to find Y’s X. Let me tell you something: I have not needed to find Y’s X since my junior year of ...

Interview with Mrs. Shelby Hailstone Law

  I have been working on something special for this blog post. I attended the Independent Book Fair in Marietta, Georgia, a few months ago. This was my first time going. I walked to many tables and networked like crazy. I even broke my budget for books. Lesson learned: expect to spend money, as if I didn’t know this already.   While at this event, I met this young woman (an author, wife, and mother), Mrs. Shelby Hailstone Law, who has written many books: the Scaleshifter Series, Lady Thief, Birthright Unknown, and Death Flirts Back, which I am currently reading.   When she spoke about being on the spectrum during a seminar on writing fantasy, her next book’s main character is on the spectrum. I knew that I had to reach out to her. Much to my luck, she graciously agreed to let me interview her for this blog post.   Death Flirts Back is about a woman, Abigail, whose family is watched by reapers. For years, Abigail has had reapers follow her but never talk, unti...

ADD's Hyper Focuse

  I have been glued to one of my other projects. I have gotten more serious about writing my book and locking myself in. It is a dream of mine to become a full-time writer. Due to everyday life and bills, I work full time but then come home to write my book. In the past, I have had a challenge incorporating a writing routine due to my shift moving around. Now that I have a 7 am till 4 pm I can come home and write after a half an hour break. I even started doing these writing sprints, you join someone on a call say what your goal is, and then write for the next hour. Once the hour is over, you check back in and share how well it went without needing to share, unless you want to. It’s so that you are being held liable. It honestly has helped a lot. I am now 54 pages in my first draft. My plan is to be finished this time next year. My current title is “Nordic Secrets”. It is a Nordic-themed action adventure. Dr. Sam Fletcher was recruited to work on a project with the military at ...
