Routines.......

Routines... why can't I seem to get them?? I think about them everyday... and really want to pursue this writing gig... but haven't been able to really get it down ... and make it a part of daily life ... my creativity expressed on paper in writing... 


A Hui Hou!!

A new post....

 
Well maybe someday ... I'll get this post routine down... I really do love to write... but it seems along with a normal result getting exercise routine.. I haven't been able to nail this writing routine either...  
I had a small set back... when our lovely new puppy "Herbert" decided to chew the only cord that I didn't happen to have a replacement for... the power cord to my laptop !!!  My connection to the outside and writing/reading world... Amazing how he randomly chose this particular cord.. but I'm back on track again... because even though Fathers Day is upon us.. and after researching and exploring many alternatives... my caring and devoted husband.. went and purchased me a brand new power cord!! Awesome!!  Just when things were getting a little rough around the edges... the light comes shining through again!!  

Sooooo back to this writing thing... Along with soooo many other tasks at hand.. and dealing with the results of an ever sagging economy... I always seem to come back to writing .. and my art, of course.. but I believe that writing is a form of art as well.  The art of compiling words together and expressing thoughts, feelings and ideas.  Words are so very powerful... in both good and bad ways .. so we all should remember this when we decide to use them.. impulsively, randomly, loosely, strongly and even carelessly ... WORDS are very very POWERFUL!!  Sooo this is another reason why I LOVE TO WRITE... its my art with WORDS!!!!

Thank you for visiting....

Aloha & A Hui Hou!!! 

Whats new to write about...??

I LOVE to write... but today I find that I am a loss of what to write about.. so many things that are happening in the world.. and I'm at a loss for words....

I have been researching for the last few years and trying to find real "writing" jobs so that I can explore more avenues of writing... and or blogging..   I think I would like to be able to write a daily column in a local or online newspaper or readers corner .. and develop a real "readers following".. and I don't plan to give up until I can do this.. I know I've said this many times before... but I would really love the job of "Carrie" on Sex in the City... I know that I would absolutely love that job!!!

Its funny, I was just reading this morning .. and maybe this would be a good writing prompt to start with... here goes.....

"If I had a million dollars.. I would ______...
 Wow... thats alot to fill in ..!!  Well....I would make sure that all my family were taken care of... then I would invest more in my "wellness" company.. and more in my artwork... expand, get more supplies... take the time to make sure my stuff is being recognized... then take plenty of writing classes .. and
"Start my Column"!!! I'm not sure really what it would be about.. but a real live probably "daily" column where people would be on edge EVERY DAY... to find out what I would be writing next!! That sure would be AWESOME!!


Then I would definitely donate some money to the Humane Society.. and the homeless.. and make sure to take a spa/yoga retreat for at least a month!!!  

So I will continue to write what is on my mind and in my heart.... and keep my faith the God will give me the desires of my heart... and with that being said I continue on my writing quest... 

 Aloha & A Hui Hou!!!!

A New Gameplan..!!!!!!

A new year ... of fresh POSITIVE new beginings!!!!! Out with the old and in with the new!!!   Its been a little bit since my last post... last year ended quite depressing.. to say the least with the loss of many loved ones and many personal and family struggles.  I returned in a way to my strong faith in God... and He was the only one that got me through.  So I am excited and very glad for positive"new beginnings" for our New Year 2011!! 

I'm starting a new book .. I know again.. you say.. but I really do love books...Suzanne Somers is AWESOME.. and I have read most of her books or are in the midst of them.   I am surrounded by my books always.. and I always have at least three or four things to read with me at all times... People think I'm nuts with all the stuff I bring with me all the time.. but I guess its just a habit.. of always having something to do at all times... 

Creativity, reading and writing... are my passions... and it seems that there is never enough time to do these things... so this year .. I am going to MAKE TIME.. !!!  I am also beginning to take some online courses.. in memory of my years in college.. I LOVE LEARNING.. and saturating my mind in new things.. 

We are also in the "great search" for a new furry addition to our family... and this will then lead into a major and much needed exercise change for me..!!  I can't wait!!!

So POSITIVE POWER... !! and POSITIVE PRAYERS, THOUGHTS AND DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE...!!!

Aloha & A Hui Hou!!!

Only on the internet...

Aloha ... I am seriously trying to keep blogging.. but it just seems that time gets away from us.... I can't believe its already NOVEMBER.....  where does the time go...????

So I was surfing the net ... a few days ago... and was taking in all the sites... still searching for more writing assignments... haha..!! but really I do love to write... and I stumbled upon... http://www.goodbonusguide.com a very interesting site... and lots of fun things to do sportsbook, casino, bingo, gambling.. etc. Even Live Dealer Casino !!! 

Although I had traveled to Vegas a couple of times... I loved the city... lights, shows.. and not to mention the SHOPPING!!!  So since the internet has now been my new playground... what more interesting avenue could there be than gambling ONLINE!! This was truly a world I had never explored.. so I decided to check it out... I started out with the article on each of the types of money making ideas (aka gambling)... the more I read the more I knew why people could acquire such addictions... without extreme self control...

The articles were truly informative and insightful... and tempting.  It really sounded like a lot of fun... if only I still had the disposable income I once had.  Don't get me wrong... the website... gives you tons of options.. to have the enjoyment of gambling in your jammies... but in this economy ... who are we kidding here.. 

So in conclusion... http://www.goodbonusguide.com 

truly provides quality and quantity in its info and opportunity ... you just have to have the "means" to join in...  It just proves to me again.. how truly powerful the internet is to us..it seems like no matter what you need or what you need to find and find out... the internet is definitely the place to go.. 

 Aloha & A Hui Ho..............

I often ponder....

I often ponder my desire to write... especially after listening to the interview with Oprah and JK Rowling... , the first billionaire woman author of the Harry Potter series... Although I have only read a portion of her first book...I am intrigued to really make it a point to at the least read the first book through and through...

I do have a wondering imagination.. and a yearn to create .. whether its painting, drawing and yes writing...  one might think.. that if my desire to write was so strong.. my blog here would have many posts.... you're probably right... but dont get me wrong ... I actually think about "writing" in every sense of the word pretty much all the time....  I also think about "Carrie" in the Sex and the City series/movies... and how she sits down at her laptop... to record her thoughts formed throughout the day.... talking about her opinions .... ideas ... etc.  I really think this would be such fun and a tremendous creative outlet for me ...  I'm a bit tired and exhausted thinking about all of these ideas .... and more frustrated that I really haven't put them in motion... hmmmm.... maybe this my final realization... watching this interview.... if all of these once "ordinary" people... women and men.... were just like the rest of us... just without the bank accounts.!!!  Some were even on public assistance,.. working in basic jobs,... single parents raising children alone, literally not knowing where their next meal is coming from... and all it takes is inspiration, imagination, a creative mind, drive, determination and time.  So with people like JK Rowling and Oprah ... and all of the people who came from nothing ... this really inspires me...!!  After all we do live in America... where ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE .... supposedly...

I am planning on making my blogging a habit... along with starting a manuscript for a Best Seller... I know I've mentioned my blogging before... but .. after all, I have to start somewhere.. I'm thinking I should be reading and digesting writing prompts, ideas, and listening to interviews like the Oprah interview with JK Rowling... and keeping a positive attitude.  I also try to be truly "thankful" for all that I have already.. not material things .. but the things in life that are most meaningful.. love, marriage, my daughter, my faithful Cocker Spaniel, love for creativity and my art... things that money cant buy.

So right now, this moment I am going to stop sitting around .. and get going here.. holding on and let my creativity take a beautiful journey...  Aloha & A Hui Ho....

Well it has been awhile since my last post... I've been pretty busy with Spring Break.. .. learning the ropes...with my new job...and trying to make all the schedules come together... and as always .... trying to keep everyone happy at the same time.. I guess thats ...my blessing and a curse at the same time.. and why I keep feeling guilty.. making a little time for myself.. time for my creativity in writing and maybe someday a little notariaty for my writing, art, color and drawing.. I also loving being up late and spending time alone reading.. and yes making more time for my exercise, yoga and even a little meditation. Trying to make sure to keep up my writing .. seems to be a little more difficult that I thought at first... "Its just my take ... but I'm thinking that like anything else you try to really make a commitment to do.. at first .making it a habit..is the hardest part. Writing, like everything else creative, I believe should be more spontaneous...when the moment hits you, so to speak ... like right now.. at 3:29am... I really should be sleeping.. cause I have to get up early but .. something inside wanted to finally make a new post.. since it is already the end of the month and this is only my second or third post of the month... I have been reading a new book and have been inspired by Elizabeth Gilbert.. Committed..... to start writing more.. I really enjoyed reading her first book Eat, Pray, Love.. and even listened to the CD audio version.. it was really inspiring listening to her actually reading the book...her voice and thoughts really came out... and it felt like a friend telling me of her experience.. Mia King... also another inspiring female author .. is also a neighbor here on the Big Island .. thats what makes it REAL to me .. that I have actually met at one point someone who has a wonderfully creative talent of writing and has published her writings into to wonderful novels. So .. it doesn't seem like such a far off experience.. to know a REAL person.. and that there not just like someone you read about or see in magazines and tv.. so, I think we truly just have to believe in our hearts..and follow our passions.... don't waste our talents and leave them in the closet.. but exercise them.. just like our regular exercise routine.. be positive and don't give up....and you just never know.. our greatest dreams can come true....

Life is too short folks... we ALL need to make the best of our days... live life to the fullest .. no matter what... enjoy your day... pursue your passions... Aloha!!!!

Today .. another day...

Yes, I'm writing a new post for the day... and I'm pleased that I seem to be following along pretty well with my promise.. "to write something EVERYDAY.." even if its just ... a little paragraph..

First I would like to let me readers know that I am writing a separate blog.. called the "The Menopause Diaries"... its kind of a guide.. to get me through.. this wonderful mid-life stage of my life so if you are reading this .. please also check out "The M Diaries!!"

Now as we look at the new year ahead.. lets try to approach each day with a positive thoughts and attitude.. remember there are tooooo many negative and terrible things going on in this life.. we all have to make a difference..

Its getting late.. I will have more to write tomorrow.. but lets be kind to one another!


Until tomorrow.. ALoHA!!

Okay... I'm trying here... but you see I'm back!!!!!

Okay, I'm trying here... and I'm back... its the second day of my new commitment ... to blog everyday... about "My take.. on things... " Pretty much anything. It is what it is...
"Its just my take ... on these wonderful issues of life... I'm so glad to be here today.. its just a sign to me that maybe I am on the road to following through... blogging everyday on "STUFF"... thus "Its just my take...!" They say it takes just 21 days of doing something to make it a habit... and this IS a good habit.. something that .. may take a while to really catch on .. but I truly believe in my heart.. that I have always been a good writer and always wanted to pursue this career... and I've always envied the "Carrie Bradshaws" in life although I think I would find it quite difficult to write about SOME of the things that she writes about... but thats okay... you never know.. I could be really good at it.... just have to give things a chance and always follow your dreams and pursue your passions to their fullest...

I am also pursuing my artistic talents .. this being my 50th year... and I'm going to start with envolving this current photo I've taken... I have always loved flowers.. and always drew them as a child... but I have particularly taken an interest in these water lilies... they have always been particularly beautiful to me .. and I have been truly inspired by this one... I have this interest in "cubism" .. and most of my work seems to end up in this form... I can't wait to get started on this one.. and see what I end up with .. its funny when I begin.. I never know what it will end up to look like.. but most of the time I am pretty pleased.. and sometimes really surprised.. I love the colors and shape difference between the flower and the floating leaves... this one should be pretty interesting... I feel like my love of art is definitely blossoming these days... God has given me an inspiration for all type of creativeness.. and I am trying to indulge in each one... I enjoy knitting.. so I created a couple of really funky scarves for friends for Christmas this year.. it was fun to get back into the "texture" of things... I found a new fun gift idea for some of my daughter's friends.. and got into creating some custom bulletin boards.. they were really lots of fun to create...incidently do not hesitate to contact me by email... if you would like to check these out..

I truly enjoy being creative .. it makes me feel alive.. and accomplished when it is all said and done.. and I seem to look EVERYWHERE these days to be just that creative.. and be able to help others enhance their lives....I really can't imagine the world without color.. it would be like going to the ice cream shop and they only have vanilla!! How boring would that be!!!

This is why I include color in EVERYTHING I do.. and some people, even family think I'm nuts.. but thats okay... its all in their minds.. I thoroughly enjoy and love.. the world of creativity ..... and truly respect others with this totally unique talent... I have a very good friend who happens to be a very successful artist here .. on the island and is and has been a true inspiration to me... just recently I had an a occasion to sit and have a little lunch with her... and she told me her whole story... WOW!!!! I was really amazed.. and very very inspired... her work is truly wonderful.. and she has a faithful following.. and she is a gifted artist... someone that I will always admire... but the one thing she said to me .. that has seemed to stick is "Everyday.. find at least ONE thing to better and further your career as an artist... no matter what it is, make that commitment... DO ONE THING EACH DAY!!"

So I am ... I am writing EVERYDAY... and after this entry I am going to sit down and begin .... my new creation...

Aloha and A Hui Ho!!!
