Enlightment through writing

Challenge Day: 56

I woke up today with desire to write. So far I have finally caught up with some of the post I had started and didn't finish. Lately I've been really inspired by the things I read and hear. I love to write, it allows me to express myself and gives me peace. It's an escape for me. I began to wonder, though, can anyone write? Am I a write or do I have an ability that everyone has? Or can I really do something different? It comes pretty easy for me, and it's fun.

I have a dream to one day be able to write a book. The hardest thing for me is figuring out what I want to write about. I don't just want to write a book, I want to write a book that inspires and touches peoples lives, much like the ones I've been reading lately. I have recently realized that reading is knowledge, it's is such an enlightenment for the soul. There is never enough knowledge on any subject that one can have. I've never been much of a reader, but now it's like I thirst for knowledge about everything. My kids, my husband, God, life, it all matters so much to me and reading gives me insight and wisdom.

Words are so powerful, whether in a book or a song, words can really speak to someone and bring change, positive change. I am currently reading four books, which at one time I would have never even read four books in a decade, so I have to say that it's a huge accomplishment. Each book is on a different subject that I find a need for and is useful in my life. Sometimes I'll be going trough something that particular day and I read a chapter that has the answer or comforting words that I needed. Writings fill us with knowledge that helps us be better.

God not only speaks thorough the books I read but also through the music I hear. There are three songs that have really spoken to me lately. I used to think that it was absolutely silly when people said they were changed by a song. How can that be it's just words and music? But that's exactly it, the words. I have listened to the words of a song and felt God was speaking to me through them during times of trouble, hardship, pain, and doubt.

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops, what if Your healing comes through tears, what if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near. What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise.

OUR PUERTO RICO VACATION

La Isla del Encanto… the island of enchantment… that is the popular name given to the island of Puerto Rico. In summer of 2017 we visited Puerto Rico on our family vacation.. we spent 8 days on the island.  This was the first time my boys and I had been to PR. Tony used to spend his summers there, as a kid, with his grandparents. I particularly enjoyed this trip because we had the opportunity to visit several places during our stay.  We flew from Fort Lauderdale, FL to the capital city of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Shortly after arriving we drove to the southwest central part of the island to visit Tony’s grandmother in the town of Adjuntas.  ADJUNTAS Adjuntas is known as the land of the sleeping giant because the mountain range looks like a giant sleeping on his side.  It’s located in a mountainous range so the climate is mild. The days we were there the weather was overcast and rainy, but pleasant beca...

MY DIY TE FITI RUNNING COSTUME

Disney races are a big deal! I never knew just how popular they were until the year I was left out of the Wine & Dine race beca use it filled up in a matter of two hours. It was now 2017 and I was not going to let that happen again. I sat anxiously checking the time every 5 minutes waiting for 12 o'clock. I had both my laptop and phone open to the RunDisney registration page. As the clock struck twelve I rapidly jumped on! Jackpot! I was able to register! Now that registration was behind me, it was now time to think about the most important part...what costume was I going to wear! My favorite part of Disney races is dressing up and finding awesome costumes. My friend and I kept going back and forth on what costumes we should run in.  Our first idea was to run as cute snowmen, thinking the theme would be Christmas once again. But the theme had changed and it was now going to be Fall Feast. Our first thought about going with Beauty and the Beast characters becau...

HOW I KEEP MY HOME ORGANIZED

The new year puts me the mood to rearrange my house. In the time we have lived in our current home, I think I have literally moved the furniture in my living around in every possible way, which means I have most likely exhausted all possible ways to rearrange my furniture, lol. The very moment I begin to put away Christmas decorations my wheels begin turning and I start to wonder, hmm... would my living room look better if I moved the sofa over here… or would this plant would look better over there?     I love to decorate and arrange my house to be more comfortable and function better. This sort of thing makes me very happy!  I love to have a well organized and neat home that suits all of my family’s needs. Being a stay at home mom and housewife, my home is where I spend my entire day, it’s both my place of work and my sanctuary.  So I want it to the best it can be. Current Living Room Layout My husband makes fun of me because he says I c...
