Attitude

With the shooting in CT my mind has been on my beliefs a lot lately.  For those who don't know, I am LDS aka Mormon (www.mormon.org).  We have a belief in the afterlife, that there is life after death, that our savior Jesus Christ was born, and died and resurrected so that we can have life eternal.  We believe that if for some reason you lose a child in this life, that you will be given the opportunity to raise that child in the hereafter.  That is what is comforting me amidst this devastating event.  Knowing that those who lost precious children will be given the chance to raise them up in the hereafter.  I can't even imagine what the parents have/are feeling during this event.  I'm not a parent (other than to furkids) but I can't even imagine what they are experiencing, the tragedy.  I have read several accounts of forgiveness and sympathy for the shooter and his family, how incredibly brave.  Recently I have been becoming more active in my church, this is after about 4 years of complete inactivity.  I hope I can continue to grow and learn and become more like my Savior and do the things that I should be doing.

Last night Rob and I took my parents out to eat at our favorite restaurant Tucanos.  We drove 1 hour to get there because we tried to go to the closer one, but there was some big event downtown last night and traffic was insane trying to find a parking spot, so we all agreed and went to the further one.   When we got there they told us there would be an hour to hour and a half wait....great :-)  So we walked around, found an indoors farmers market place and walked around that and a toy store for a while.  It was a fun night, I hope my parents enjoyed it as well.  Tucanos is a brazilian grill and they bring you the meat out and it's all you can eat with a salad bar too.  I love love love it!   So even though things didn't go 100% according to plan, we all had a positive attitude and made the best of the situation.  We then had the most nummy meal, and even nummier dessert.  It was great to talk to my parents on the way there and on the way home.

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?   ...

🌿 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...
