I think freedom is something a lot more than that. I’ll try to put it accurately into words. See, in Northern North America…
Originally posted 2016-06-02 11:43:51. I finished my first workout at the MUA gym about an hour and a half ago. It was shorter than I will be doing from here on, but let’s face it; I haven’t spent time in a gym since my last visit to Crunch Fitness in Staten Island way back on…
Originally posted 2016-05-30 13:50:27. We’re going to change things up this time. Or rather, we should say, do this the right way – the way it should have been, like it was for me on my first #100days. Back To Basics is the theme. And here is where we gently remind you that you need…
Originally posted 2016-05-30 07:19:54. A year ago, I was making excuses for not wanting to get off the couch in Staten Island, NY. My back was sore, my leg was bugging me, I had a migraine, I didn’t sleep well, blah blah blah. I was the queen of internal silent excuses, and the number one…
Originally posted 2016-05-24 14:45:35. Today I’m offline again – no clue what the internet issue is today, but I was unaware of something that has apparently become “big” news at least in Facebook friends of the hubs. Body shaming. **Disclaimer: This article isn’t an attack on being overweight or underweight. It is however, a scathing…

There is life that is MUCH larger than you. Don’t think because you cannot see it, that it cannot see you. The rule I was taught first…
Originally posted 2016-05-22 11:24:25. Friendship. There will be several topics that cover this, as it’s not a “one article” kind of conversation. It is however, a multi-layered, happily life reward. True friendship doesn’t happen instantaneously, but it can begin with as little as a shared smile. Today, we’re going to look at ten of the…
Originally posted 2016-05-22 09:07:05. So today, I got to meet more beautiful Nevisians. They are gregariously kind. They embody everything that is good within the world. They care, they are selfless, and they are delightfully present in their lives. Kaylee desperately needs a cat scratcher, so I set out to buy the simple things today…
Originally posted 2016-05-20 12:00:57. “Nyaaaaaah!” “Yes, oh great one, what would you like?” I yawn. The supreme being looks away haughtily, before sashaying out of the room. I stand, and stretch. It is nearly two in the morning. “Coming oh exultant Elder Beast.” I know if she cared to respond, I’d likely be reprimanded for…
Originally posted 2016-05-16 17:00:06. One of the things I had to prepare for in my move to the Caribbean was that there were no actual “pet stores” around Nevis and St. Kitts. We’ll eventually be able to ship things in, slowly, but in order for us to get used to how things are, we have…
Originally posted 2016-05-15 15:47:54. We’ve taken more photos in the last decade than have ever been captured in human history. By the end of 2020, it’s possible that the number of photos taken in just that year alone could be more than the last hundred years combined. What a staggering thought indeed. Out of those,…
Originally posted 2016-05-13 12:00:48. Some days don’t give you the chance to breathe steady. Backing down the driveway, I figured it would be best, considering the pounding rainstorm and the softly crying beast in the soft kennel in the passenger seat next to me, that I wouldn’t be tossing the Bluetooth on when I started…
Originally posted 2016-05-12 11:13:04. This one is the easiest: Be good. Be honest. Be creative. Be genuine. Be real. Be funny. Be kind. Be decent. Be encouraging. Be yourself. Strive for it, every day. You don’t have to be perfect. Just shine.
Originally posted 2016-05-12 11:08:14. This one is not so simple, but it’s worth it: Be willing to create. Be free with your imagination. Be unlimited with your scope of creativity. Be willing to try new things. Be open to co-operative tasks with others. Be unafraid to keep working toward your goals. Be unashamed to be…
Originally posted 2016-05-12 10:43:10. This one is simple too: Be honest in what you feel. Be honest in what you think. Be honest in what you say. Be honest in what you do. Be honest in your integrity. Be honest with your intentions toward self and others. Be honest with the limitations and reasons you…
