Dear Santa, I know that I have been a good girl this year, so maybe you could be nice to me. I don't ask for much in life and I always try to help others when I can. By now, I hope that I have been taken off of your naughty list and moved over to the nice list. I know it took along time for me to learn my lesson's in life, but I'm still learning every day. For example, I finally gave up in believing in fairy tales, true love and happily ever after. I accepted the reality; that Super Hero's are only in the movie's and that Batman, Iron Man and Hercules, will never be my Prince Charming. They are all like a Transformer, a fake toy, made by someone's illusion, to fill us full of false hope, only to blow up our dreams. I gave up day dreaming, that Keanu Reeves will be wrapped up in a big red bow, sitting next to my tree, on Christmas morning.  I have learned my lesson on falling for the sexy, bad boy types that I see on the Big Screen, such as Vin Diesel. ...

I was inspired to write this post, as I was looking around me and listening to people. I just turned 45 and I was taking that walk down memory lane, as most people do when we have a birthday. In life we have the choice, to fear getting old or to embrace it. I think we all at one point or another, have to stop and reflect on where we are in life, where we have been and embrace or endure what we have been through. It teaches us that we can change and grow as people. Life makes us walk through many lights, the bright and the dark. Myself, I learned to have Faith and to turn to God in my moments of darkness and to pray my way back into the light. We all have moments of darkness, in one way or another. Maybe it's God's way of reminding us, that not every day will be Sunshine, Rainbows and clear blue Skies. We just have to learn to make it through the Storms and the dark cloudy days. What I find the most saddening, are the people that live in darkness. You know the ones, they ...

We all know what a slump is, we all end up there, in one way or another. The most challenging thing, is getting ourselves out of that slump and back on track. This has been my challenge, over the past two months, since empty nest syndrome kicked in, when my youngest child left home. I do believe it all starts with that ugly word--PROCRASTINATION! We procrastinate things and it causes us to slip into a slump. I knew that I needed to write a post for my blog, yet I procrastinated and put it off.  I know that I should do Yoga or some sort of exercise, to keep myself in shape, then I don't. I think about eating healthy foods, because it's better for my health, then I grab a Burger for lunch. I knew I had to get 125 pages of my latest Screenplay written, because I had already paid my entry fee and I didn't. I think procrastination happens when we are on over load. I personally, get to much going on at once and then, I get off track and end up in a slump. Instead of doin...
