The Mess Right Now

First time blogging from the new home. This is kind of epic for me because it's been more than 10 years since we've ever woken up in a new place. We don't travel much and have a routine so steely that we get a little unsettled when it veers off course.

Our old home, when we first moved on was, of course, just as messy, but we had the advantage of an interior designer clearing the path for us before we even stepped foot in the home.


From the moment they started laying down the tiles to the moment we slept there for the first time, we had the advantage.

This time is so bloody different.

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, had to start from ground up.

And this is the mess right now.


We'll get used to this. It may take weeks or months, though. For one, I am not familiar with living in a home that does not belong to us. We've been lucky to own the homes we lived in. No landlord to answer to.

As kind and nice as this landlord is, he's kind of overbearing sometimes. He's trying to help, of course, but it takes some getting used to when we don't have the final say about what to do with our 'home'. It feels like living in someone else's home.

I have to remember that millions of people out there don't even have a home. They definitely don't have the privilege that we have. For that, I thank the higher power that is watching over me and my little family.

Prompt - Describe My Favorite Drink

Favorite drink? Non-alcoholic? Lol. Coffee because of its aroma and it is an added bonus that it wakes me up (before I go-go) and at this point in time, I try to stay away from Starbucks because it ain't cheap and it is basically sugar-in-a-cup, that stuff. I am continually in love with my three-in-one, yes, boring but faithful. And everyone should be in love with coffee, in my personal opinion. But that is just me. XOXO Marsha

A Sweet Life

Bad news comes along everyday but last year alone, quite a few bad news struck me. The timing was like a mechanical pendulum. I thought to myself several times that I had enough, that what I needed was a break. A 10 day retreat where I am required to speak to no one, do nothing, listen to silence and nature and just be what I am meant to be.  But real life is not something you can escape for a long period of time. I served my silence....but reality will pendulum-swing back. A friend passed away after being in a coma for a few months. I know both husband and wife and they've always been really positive about handling the toughest of life situations. We may not agree with everything, but we do agree on many. During the time she was unconscious, I prayed every single day. I kid you not.  Her husband would report about her condition, good or bad, and I would either offer thanks or pray for good news and strength. Even during the worst hit moments, I kept the posi...

Feeling a Little Better

After all that fighting with the first week of meds, I finally feel like I am slightly more human and I can even consume food without throwing up anymore! It's a big celebration at the dinner table, it's a big celebration in the room and it's also a big celebration on the inside of me.  Taking care of myself has never been as important as last month when the sickness took over every single aspect of my life, every second of my life, and every ounce of my energy. When you're well, it's OK to fight all the way to planet Pluto and back  because you have it together. But when you're sick, there's nothing more humbling than your body telling you that you absolutely CANNOT.  Being this way has everything to do with being a single mother. Being alone or lonely was never much of an option for me and that has to do with the way I was brought up and the way I grew up. I had to fasttrack a lot of things and many times, when I failed, I had to pick everything u...
