Realizing you are more than that.

Sometimes you feel like you have been eaten by a shark. LOL, yeah a friend of mine took this photo of me recently. We were in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Seriously for a moment, don't you feel like that. Life can be so overwhelming. Here lately I have been through some difficult times. Who hasn't right? However, at one point I thought everything was going to be okay then out of no where my world seemed to be going crazy. I felt like I was stranded out in the ocean and sharks were swimming around me. Who would have thought I would have my picture taken like this one. It might look funny but the situation I was going through was no laughing matter. There is one thing for sure. Although a lot of things contributed to my situation at that time. I know that I was not alone. God was with me through it all. I didn't let the enemy convince me otherwise. Although.... This is the part that is going to stun you a bit....            ...

"If you wait for perfect conditions, you'll never get anything done!"

Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap. ( Ecclesiastes 11:4 NIV) YES! I am talking about procrastination. UGH, we all know we do it, but why? Here lately we all overload ourselves with many tasks and at the end of the day we realize we didn't get those things finished. Or during the day we see one task we need to do and act like is not that important at the time and convince ourselves we will have time to work on it later. I don't know about you but my desk is getting piled up with a lot of things. So many deadlines are approaching and what do I do. Panic of course! Then I love the part where I constantly tell myself, "Geesh Mel!!!! if you only did this when you first thought of it or received information that it had to be done, you would not be in this mess!" Yea, trust me I do this all the time. When you are a single parent like me it's hard not to. This isn't just for single parents those married couples and...

I like Fairies

   I love fairies. I think they are cute, mystical, and fun. Last year my daughter and I dressed up as fairies for Halloween. We used various references and I made my own wings. I will include a photo of that in a later post. They are epic and beautiful. I have a collection (as you might see here in this post) of pictures saved on my PINTEREST BOARD .    Whimsical Woodland Fairies     Fairy Make up tips.     Fairies can wear anything. This one looks vintage. I love black and white photos.     Of course Fairies need homes. On my Pinterest Board is a link to this one that has a "HOW TO" on how to make fairy houses.   And what fairy would be complete without her fairy dust.
