Fairytales and Love

My mother use to read fairytales to me and my sisters at bedtime. I guess this was the beginning of my need for Happily Ever After. I love Happily Ever After. I always want the princess to win her man and the two run off and live in the castle happily forever.
The first time I read a romance book that ended without the heroine and her running off to live Happily Ever After I loved. The tortured hero and the foreboding heroine agree to be more than friends but less than Happily Ever After. Somewhere deep down my soul rejoiced and I learned something.
While Happily Ever After can happy most often it doesn’t. The princess may get her man but it might not be the Happily Ever After she imagined. I don’t think I’ll ever lose faith in Happily Ever After but I do have mad respect for those whose ending is not assured.

Just Breathe

 Degree Conferred
“The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential . . . these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.” ~ Confucius~
I am again a college graduate. My degree in Literature will be conferred on yours truly during August graduation.  I am so proud of my degree, I want to share it with the world. I always wanted a degree is literature. I want to leap tall buildings while shouting “I have my degree in Literature, lets discuss Shakespeare” Yep, I am weird like that.  

Chicken Chimichangas

Chicken Chimichangas

It's Name Is “Change”

Hello Change. Your name evokes a sense of fear in those who hear it. Change is scary. Foreseeing the outcome and future of Change is never assured. Therefore, I hate change.
Change unfortunately has come to my village this year. Change has brought monumental changes to my life and I am scared to death.

Did I mention how much I hate Change? Change is sometimes unreasonable. Change forces its way into our lives and changes the hearts and minds of those it visits. Change often brings tears, celebration, sorrow, jubilation and happiness. Changes takes its own sweet time in reveling its main goal.
I am not fond of Change, but it’s happening and I am trying my best not to be sad or feel sorrow as the hand of change touches me. Change thy name is tattooed on my soul.
 I’ve never been good with Change. I usually lose before I win and lose again. The older wiser me knows that accepting Change without regret is a fool’s errand.
Wisdom and age have enlightenment to the point that I know that it’s ok to debate Change and cry at the ramifications.   
Change is in my village and I am not sure what to think or do.

Dance Academy

Dance Academy
I am an undiagnosed addict when it comes to binge watching TV shows on Netflix and Amazon on the weekend and days off.
This weekend I binged watched Dance Academy on Netflix and it was awesome. Dance Academy is an Australian teen drama about “making it” at Sydney’s top ballet school. I discovered this Australian Jewel and ended up spending two glories days in binge TV heaven. Dance Academy gave me life.  The show is totally awesome. Teenage dancers are at the Royal Dance Academy and not only do they dance, they have drama.
After watching the third season I was disappointed to learn there were no more seasons. O’ the let down of   never seeing Tara, Ethan, Abigail, Kat, Christian, or Tom  dance again until a couple of months pass and I again binge watch one of my favorite shows. Abby

Rainbow Creek Mall

 The world of Rainbow Creek is not what you would expect. The small town is set in the mountains high above the hills and valleys. No one knows the real reason they are there. Most think they were born and breed in the town. No so. Most are here because their lives have taken a decidedly turn for the worst.  
Rainbow Creek exist in the hearts and minds of those who are in a coma. The world of a coma is not very large. Most folks once they come out of the coma never remember the mall or their stay there. Many escape from Rainbow Creek but many more stay and make it their permeant home.
Time does not truly exist in Rainbow. While there are days and nights the years roll by slower than in the world these souls no longer occupy.  Life exist in Rainbow Creek Mall in the hearts and minds of those who are trapped there and don’t even know it.
