Save Something for Yourself.

I've been absent from this blog and I know its been far too long. I would call my absence a sabbatical except that it wasn't. I suppose it could be considered down time...-transition might be a better word actually. It was certainly time that left me with much to ponder and wonder. Truth be told I'm full of "lots to say" but wanting to carefully craft my thoughts into something "marketable" has me planning the direction of my post. For me marketable just means I want to appeal to my audience in a way that's tangible. Of course that lasted all of a few seconds up until I started writing this post because today I'm pensive, I'm full and need to release. For all the topics I have planned I still find that I'm going off script. The deviation so strong that it must be something needed in the atmosphere or perhaps my need for expression is stronger. Humbly I'll accept the latter. I needed to blog as much as this empty page needed to be filled with words. I didn't even have a title until I started writing. I think it best conveys my thought for women, young adults and girls but most importantly for me.

Save something for yourself. I use to think of that as a type of self preservation but as I write, for me, it's all of that including the need to express, and expel your voice to break up motionless silence in this loud world. The kind that wants to push down the things that matter most or is important to you. It's saving the truth of who you are, it's savoring "real" relationships with genuine people. It's all of those things that give pulse to your life.

Yes, save something for yourself is knowing that good exist and you deserve it. It's knowing that there's a part II to this topic. It's about loving yourself.

The Day After Christmas

Christmas day was great. I didn't go to bed until the wee hours again and needless to say I was wrapping gifts at 4:30 that morning as the children rose ready to open their presents. It probably would be useless to most to continue wrapping when everyone would open them minutes after but I did so anyway. I like to do it and wrapping gifts is as much a part of the Christmas festivities as decorating the tree. And just as Christmas day was fun so was the day after.  We followed up Christmas dinner with a fish fry and a game of spades. It was great and me and my partner won the game. We had  great time laughing and kidding with each other. We listened to music and sang along. Nothing like those oldies but goodies. We all took part from the oldest to the youngest adding our voices to the music. To outsiders it may have seemed like no big deal but to me it was as much a part of loving each others as was the gift giving. I sat back and thought that's what ...

After Christmas Practical Suggestion

I'm really not an expert in this area but, after going over a few records for a family member, I quickly understand the importance of not just tossing your bank statements around and not viewing them. I saw where they were paying for subscriptions almost three times the normal amount. Having said that, many of you will get those bank statements detailing all the great gifts you have given. But you may want to double check them.  Make sure you haven't been billed twice for the same thing or billed for something you didn't purchase at all. With theft at an all time high, it's not unlikely for this to happen. Remember to keep tabs of your records. Lately I've been taking note of information regarding fraud and identity theft and it seems that the holiday season is a peak time for these unfortunate situations to take place. And familiarizing yourself with what steps to take (hopefully this won't happen) can ease the burden of a  di...
