My little protector

If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?

My dogs are so cute and fiercely loyal.

When strangers come close they start barking and jumping around. This alerts me whether I am in the home or out walking.

They are amazing. Noise but amazing.

I pat them on the head. Say good boy or girl or give them a treat.

My little protectors.

I feel loved.

Writing…

What’s your dream job?

I love to write romantic fiction and I like blogging.

My dream is to get paid well enough for my work so I can sustain my lifestyle with plenty left over to help my loved ones and maybe others I know in need.

Compassion and fairness

What makes a good leader?

I think those two words speak for themselves.

The person has to listen first before drawing conclusions. That is the best way to show compassion and fairness.

After surgery

Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?

I recently had surgery. During recovery in the hospital, my sister helped me to get dressed, or so it would appear. She turned my pants inside out. Helped to put my legs in one of the legs of my pants. I was in pain, but she was trying so hard I could not get mad. It was day surgery, so I had to leave that same day if all went well. And all went well, thank God.

She waited for me all day. Imagine that.

At home, things got even worse. I had two sisters helping me. Oh my, my, my…

Let me say that on the first two days, when I needed help to get dressed, I wished there was another way. By the time they finished with me, I felt like a pretzel. I didn’t know pants went on like that. After the third day, I refused help.

But through it all I felt cared for by my family. The effort they put in, the kind words were what I needed.

The main fact is that the Lord brought me through the surgery and recovery with much love. I feel loved by my heavenly Father for giving me great sisters to mess me up and those other sisters who prayed for me from afar. 

All joking aside, they are the best sisters.

In my mind

Where can you reduce clutter in your life?

It is a true saying, ” Don’t sweat the small stuff.” Not worrying about every single thing declutters my mind.

If I worry about everything, I will be too stressed out, my heart will race, my pressure will sky rocket, and I could get seriously ill. 

I have to weigh what is priority and what is not.

Then, I worry about the priority?

No.

Then, I take a deep breath and weigh the consequences along with my actions. I have to be honest. I am not in control. I can do my best to deal with a situation and pray for the best result.

For example:

I have to make certain numbers for every business quarter. The economy is bad, people are hoarding their money, prices are high. I work on them, say the right things, and make my calls, which is the best I can do. I can’t sweat it. Living worried about my upcoming work day and the lack that may happen can do more damage to my health. My job is to do the right thing and leave everything else to God.

Why worry when I can pray.

The Lord has never failed me.

Laugh if you want, my belief and your disbelief do not make this less true. 

My motto is”  Don’t worry, be happy.”

Nachos

What snack would you eat right now?

I love nachos.

Cheese is my weakness, especially with nice crisp chips. Not too loaded, then the chips get all soggy. The crunch is still very important.

A Throne Spa ( or a pooping spa)

Come up with a crazy business idea.

Sometimes, you are not regular, and the flow is difficult. Constipation is hard, so to speak and embarrassing.

This spa will change all of that.

One week stay with no thought of embarrassing smells or pain.

Our beautiful manor is  located just outside of town on several acres of private rolling green land.

On arrival, you are greeted with respect and then whisked away to a private cabin housing first-class amenities and decor.

Each cabin has a private group of people who are there to cater to your needs while at the spa. They are introduced to you immediately. Your group consists of a concierge who is also your nutrition guide, a chef, a poop technician with assistant, a medical doctor, and a cleaning staff of three.

Information and video sessions are conducted in private as you sign a waiver.

Success is high.

We only have happy people leaving the spa at the end of the seven days. Please refer to our international reviews on all known social media platforms.

One thing you will notice at your stay is the  lack of unpleasant odors. The cabin is completely ventilated, and there is no use of perfumes. Just state the art inventions.

A special drink is given to you on arrival, with instructions to take a walk along one of your private paths so you can let out any air needed. You will not cross ways with other guests because the cabin, with its several pathways and gardens, is  all private.

No worries.

The special water treatment is the glory of this spa. This treatment consists of  a special bidet like device that streams water into your hole gently, then you wait  and as a gentle release happens, the clean warm waters of the bidet automatically spray up to clean  the body privates without the mess.

The food is organic and designed for your dietary needs to help with digestion and relief.

Have no fear it is all so delish.

But you will have to  remember to drink that nice smooth elixir before and after every meal. It is the star of the show designed to move things along. There is no medication but all natural, and it has the most  pleasant taste. You will feel one glass is not enough.

Towards the end of the stay, after your doctor gives you a full examination and you are able to relieve your system regularly, you will meet other guests in the main building for cocktails and a feast. Activities are encouraged, along with relaxation by the pool.

Again, there is surprisingly no odor or sounds of forced air. Manners are needed here.

At the end of your stay, you are no longer plugged.

Once you settle the very economic bill, a smile on your lips and a walk with a spring in your step will be your reward.

All is good.

Thank you.

P.S.

We also do private and corporate groups, including bachelorette and bachelor parties. 

We all need relief.

My fake Barbie

Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

I asked Mom for a Barbie doll, and she went out and bought an imitation, Barbie.

I was clearly disappointed, but as a good girl, I thanked my Mom. I could hardly protest at the tender age of nine.

Nevertheless, the first thing to go was her hair. Her head was patchy and messy. Then her clothes began to fade in color. It was all so disappointing but I got to go out and buy some doll clothes as replacements for the faded ones. That was my Mom’s way of making things better.

Then, as time went by and her hair all fell out, it wasn’t so bad. I got a major haircut around the same time and the genius as I am, I made my little fake Barbie, a wig from my hair.

It was cool.

She was a white doll with black curl hair. She was my mixed chick. My white and black friends were envious because my doll sported a black afro.

Yes!!!

I don’t know what happened to her, but she was my friend for a long time until I started on comic books, and then I forgot all about my little fake Barbie Frankenstein.

I will accept it

What is your mission?

My mission is to keep myself healthy in different areas of my life.

With regards my body by eating the right foods with good nutritional value. Also I have to stay clear of too many second helpings. One piece pie tastes the same as the other.

As for my mind, I need to think before I speak. I always put my foot in my mouth by saying the wrong things, but also, I need to watch my tone so as to not offend others easily. Showing some compassion goes a long way.

The last of my mission is to take a closer walk with the Lord and be a good ambassador of Jesus Christ. Being mindful of my time helps me to redeem it moment by moment, and therefore, I will keep myself healthy in different areas of my life

A blessing for some but not for all.

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

I believe a long life can be a blessing if you live it well.

I’m not saying live it up partying and carrying on, although if the lifespan is over 100 years, goofing around might be a little difficult.

Living well is taking care of yourself in the body, mind, and spirit. I read recently that the oldest lady in Japan was active even in her eighties, hiking and walking. She contributed her longevity to eating well and being active. Good for her but then she died.

The other lady in Brazil believes it is a gift from God. He is the one that is blessing her, so she remains active in her church community.

Studies show that people who take care of themselves, especially those who are active in their religious communities and beliefs live about ten years longer than the average person.

Amen to that.

I believe that living long is a blessing from the Lord and that living independently financial, mentally, physically, and emotionally is a double blessing.

But none of us know when our time is up on this earth, so living a good life, a life without regrets, and without offending or harming others is a blessed and pleasing life indeed.

Amen.
