Mistakes are True Perfection

None of us like to make mistakes in life, even if we never speak aloud about it. Internally we think about how we have failed at whatever we were attempting and that we don't deserve love or accolades. That's normal, but it shouldn't be I don't think... should it?

I have made many mistakes in my life and frankly still do on a daily basis. Some of them are comical, some of them are sad.... even still some are down right depressing. The real me knows that life will go on, that I can get past whatever is thrown in my path.... how do I know this? Well, because I have hit rock bottom at least twice in the last 15 years and I learned from it. That's why I don't mind mistakes - not really. Sure I will cry and get upset, that's a normal human reaction to some mistakes but... after the smoke clears, I am able to take a deep breath and realize that my life isn't so bad. I have many things to be grateful for - a roof over my head, decent food to eat and a loving boyfriend who (I hope) thinks the world of me (for some odd reason).

Veiled Mist:

On the Caribbean island of Maurray, spoiled-rotten, fifteen-year-old Hanna wakes up to a nightmare. She is not the daughter of an aristocrat but the orphan of a Gypsy. She is the descendant to a mystical Gypsy tribe. Their magic is strong and has lasted six hundred years. Ornella, the tribe’s guardian, arrives at the island with her mutt, Count Dracula, to guide Hanna. Hanna is told she must embrace her heritage or die at the ripe age of seventeen. But Hanna does the unthinkable, she chooses death. She hates Gypsies and would rather die. What she doesn’t know is that her death will destroy the entire tribe. What she also doesn’t know is how persuasive Ornella can be. The nightmare begins...

The Bunny Is Out to Get Me

So this is my first post of 2013, crossing my fingers that it leads to many thoughtful and entertaining posts in the future. I have actually been trying to figure out (since the 1st of the year actually!) what I wanted to write about in this very first post of the new year... and I couldn't really come up with nothing. I decided, as my boyfriend Brian began to make pancakes, that I would just open up a new blog post window and just start typing. A few things have happened since my last post...

Lessons In Karma

I have been with my boyfriend, Brian, for ... well it's 3 years January 31, 2013. Our relationship has had it's ups and downs - a lot of the downs being this past year. We have each experienced our own personal hurdles and hurdles as a couple. In short - life has been difficult. 

 

This whole time I have not thought once about us not being together, I have simply repeated the mantra of "life will get better" ... it had to I thought. Brian, bless his heart, isn't as "optimistic" as I am. I'll save you the details of the whole year and just tell you what started happening recently, the stuff that has made even my boyfriend the pessimist, a believer.

The Box Puzzle Decoded

This video is a prime example of what happens with my OCD from time to time. About 5 hours elapsed from when I first saw the "box puzzle" to my posting the video on youtube. See here:
