I choose

Just have to vent a little.....took Shellie my golden retriever up with me to get the mail.Neighbors out front having a pow wow with a bunch of toddlers/little kids who the instant I go outside swarm Shellie....well of course she knocked one down so mom gets mad at me, and I tell her "You need to teach your kids not to run up to strange dogs, she could be aggressive". Then on my way back another swarm (same crowd) come up to her and I tell them, "she doesn't need petted she's too excited right now". Man people teach your kids some dog safety....good thing her only issues is being too exciteable and knocking them down. What if she could have bit them in the face?

 Here are some quotes/poems that I found that I really love.

 "You know you have the potential to become what you wanted to become, that happens only when you begin to focus your mind, heart and soul to be at your best."

 This is such an awesome quote.  It applies so much.  It hit home with my grooming, as I haven't ever really 'wanted' to be a full time groomer, but now I can't imagine doing anything else.  I think that I had to go through things (crappy stressful vet job), and things just had to be right for me to work for my friends (although the circumstances are a major bummer --she's dying of cancer), for me to realize my true potential is to be a full time dog groomer.  I love it, and want to work towards becoming a Certified Master Groomer.  In order to do that I have to pass written, and practical tests in front of judges, groom a non-sporting breed, sporting breed, 2 terriers long and short legged.  It is something to aim for.  On an awesome positive note.....I went through a bottle of medications (30 day supply), and my Neuroreplete......and it has only been 30 days.  Woot Woot!  Go ME!  
I Choose…


to live by choice, not by chance;
to make changes, not excuses;
to be motivated, not manipulated;

to be useful, not used;

to excel, not to compete.
I choose self-esteem, not self-pity.
I choose to listen to my inner voice,
Not the random opinion of others.

I choose to be ME .

Saturday 9: Good Morning, Heartache

Trying another new thing called Saturday 9, it can be found here:  http://samanthasaturday9.blogspot.com 1) Do you come up with your brightest ideas early in the morning or late at night?   I would say that I am most creative later in the evenings 2) Are you more likely to feel romantic at night or in the morning?  Depends on the day :-), but usually at night 3) Do you shower in the morning, after work or before bed?   I shower in the mornings, it helps wake me up 4) Billie Holiday was just 44 when she died. Is there an artist whose early demise surprised and saddened you?   Not an artist but Heath Ledger's death really shocked me and took me by surprise.  He is one of my all time favorite actors. 5) Billie was known as "Lady Day." Do you have a cool nickname? (If not, feel free to give yourself one right now.)   No cool nicknames, as a kid I was "Woodie or Fruitcake".....don't ask LOL 6) When was the last time you had the blues?   ...

Sunday stealing  Who Are you? Part 7 – It is Over!  Part 7: Self Image 84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you:   I wake up at 6:00am, take a shower, get ready for the day, then I go downstairs and feed the critters, and make breakfast for hubby and I.  We usually leave the house by about 7:30ish and I drop my husband off at work.  Then I work (I'm a Pet Groomer) until about 3:30 or 4:00ish then I leave for home and go get my hubby from work.  Then I come home and make dinner, feed the critters, work on cleaning the house a little and we usually head to bed about 8:30ish or 9:00. 85. What is your greatest strength as a person?   I am a very compassionate and have a big heart 86. What is your greatest weakness?   Interrupting people when they are talking 87.

🌿 CBD and Hormones: What Every Woman Should Know

  Posted in The Wellness Den | June 14, 2025 Let’s be real: being a woman comes with a lot of hormonal ups and downs. Mood swings. Fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Anxiety. Sleep issues. And don’t even get me started on the perimenopause rollercoaster. Whether you’re in your 20s or late 40s (like me!), hormones influence everything —your energy, mood, digestion, skin, cycle, and emotional balance. But here’s something most women don’t hear enough: CBD can help. Not as a magic pill or miracle cure—but as a powerful tool that supports your body’s natural rhythms and helps bring balance when everything feels off. 💛 What Happens When Hormones Are Out of Whack? When estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, or thyroid hormones get thrown off, you may feel: Anxious or irritable Wired but tired Struggling with sleep or concentration Sluggish digestion or metabolism Cravings, mood dips, and PMS from another planet Sound familiar? Now enter: your Endocannabino...
