TICKLE
PICKLE
PRUNE

Tickle me Pickle, that silly fellow,
Turns into a prune whenever it’s mellow.
It wriggles and giggles, oh what a hoot,
Until it becomes a prune, then it can’t scoot!

A Christmas Delight

All the bells and whistles, shiny and bright,
Pretty little bows that sit on top of presents,
With ribbons so neat, and colors so pleasant,
All that is waiting for is the elves’ delight,
To press the buttons, so they can be sent,
On their merry way, with joy and sheer delight.

Motivation Music Monday- Katy Perry Firework

Firework by Katy Perry

“Firework” by Katy Perry is a motivating song that resonates with me because of its uplifting and empowering message. The song and the melody have inspired and encouraged me to embrace my uniqueness, try to overcome my self-doubt, and to celebrate my inner strength. There are times where I forget and I need to be reminded though.

The song begins with the lines “Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?” This line spoke to me because there have been many times when I have felt that I was lost and struggling to find my purpose, and there are still times that I do.

During the song, Katy Perry encourages us to ignite the spark that we have inside us and to let it shine. This is a great metaphor of a firework that symbolizes the idea of inner strength and resilience, and it conveys a powerful message of embracing individuality and self-expression.

“Firework” by Katy Perry is a motivating song that has captured the hearts of many with its empowering lyrics, vibrant melody, and message of self-empowerment.

DRAW
DRAWER
DRAWN

In the stillness of the night, dreams draw near,
In the drawer of the mind, memories appear.
Sketches of the past, intricately drawn,
In the heart’s hidden drawer, emotions spawn.

International Corgi Day!

In the spirt of International Corgi Day. I have decieded to create a limerick to help celebrate them.

There once were some Corgis so fair,
With fluffy coats and a playful air,
Their legs were quite short,
But they’d always cavort,
Bringing joy with every wag and stare!

Favorite Childhood books

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

I remember “The Babysitters Club” by Ann M. Martin as my favorite book from childhood. This series was special to me because it revolved around a group of friends who started a babysitting business together. I loved how each book was filled with fun adventures and valuable life lessons. The characters felt so relatable, and I always looked forward to reading about their escapades.

My favorite character was Mary Anne, and I admired her gentle and caring nature. The stories taught me about friendship, responsibility, and problem-solving in a way that was entertaining and engaging. Overall, it was a series that left a lasting impression on me and one that I fondly remember to this day.

Safe Space

In a safe space, we find peace and grace,

Where judgment and fear have no place.

A haven where hearts can open wide,

And souls can freely dance and glide.

In this sanctuary, we’re free to be,

No masks, no pretense, just you and me.

A refuge from the storms outside,

Where love and acceptance will abide.

In a safe space, we can heal and grow,

Embracing our truth, letting our light show.

With kindness as our guiding star,

We find belonging, no matter who we are.

So let’s create safe spaces, far and near,

Where everyone’s worth is crystal clear.

In these havens, let love embrace,

And together, we’ll thrive in safe space.

Unplugging

How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?

When I feel overwhelmed with work or personal life, I know it’s time to unplug. One of the activities that helps me unwind is drawing while listening to music. Engaging in these two activities simultaneously allows my mind to stop overthinking, providing me with a sense of peace for a while.

Additionally, I find peace in nature. During times when I need to unplug, I’ve taken trips to Joshua Tree, and the experience has been incredibly refreshing. If I can’t make it to Joshua Tree, I visit a local park, find a quiet bench, and simply observe the world around me.

Recognizing the importance of unplugging has been a learning process for me. Since realizing its significance, I’ve made a conscious effort to prioritize this practice in order to prevent feeling overwhelmed.

Lego Pug

I spent most of the day creating this. It combines two things that I love the most: pugs and Legos. Even though this looks easy, I have to say that it was not. This was the most challenging one I had to put together in a long time.

Favorite Musical Artist

Boyz II Men

What’s the name of the group?

I had the incredible opportunity to see my all-time favorite group perform live in concert yesterday, and I must say, they absolutely blew me away. Having seen them in concert before, I can confidently say that each performance just gets better and better. They delivered their classic hits flawlessly, but what really stood out were the new “old” songs they debuted and the covers of other artists’ tracks. Each one was performed to perfection, showcasing their musical versatility and skill.

From start to finish, the energy in the venue was electric, with the entire crowd up on their feet, rocking out and singing along with the group. Their music has always had a profound impact on me, touching my soul in ways that few other artists can. Whenever I listen to their music, it has a calming effect, helping me through moments of anxiety and stress. They will always hold a special place in my heart, and I can’t wait for the next opportunity to see them live again.
