Ramadan 2017

Ramadan 2017
Ramadan 2017

The most difficult part of being away from Family is when you have to start a new tradition of your own….

A New place…

A New life….

A New beginning…… 

This Ramadan is another “NEW” and will be very different for me…..

When Disney gets you!

When Disney gets you!
When Disney gets you!

Disney seems to really understand me….

I believe there’s a kid in everyone and sometime in our life we seem to loose that inner child.
Disney is Magical

I really wish that my girls always keep the kid in them as I believe in everything magical and I still find the wonder in all things Disney.

My father’s (May he rest in Peace) favorite ride at Disneyland was It’s a Small World. I still tear up every time I hear that song.

Even though we still haven’t done the Disney family trip yet I do believe that every Disney movie reminds me of my inner child.

Now with that said I feel like there’s so much more to every song from every Disney movie I’ve watched.

I have emotionally gotten attached to singing “Let it go” from the movie Frozen for every situation in life that was out of my hands and can’t change. I’m sure every one can relate to that on many levels.

Well I’ve evolved from having “Let it go” as my soundtrack to “You’re Welcome” from the movie Moana! 

Disney can always find a song from Disney that truly makes me feel better or express my emotion. It’s a fact Disney gets me!!

The event raised over $25,000!!!

Thank you for everyone that made this event possible and for the friends and family that donated to the cause.

Take a break…..

Take a break…..

Mind Break

I’m not the best person to take a a step back and Relax… not in my On-the-go personality…..

Everyone knows how I always have so much on my plate at one time. I’m Miss Busy Bee AND I deeply suffer from

FOMO…..yes Fear Of Missing Out

Even though I’ve substantially decreased so many aspects of my “previous life” with the Move to Canada.

Less friends, no family, no work/job, no business, NOTHING….absolutley NOTHING!

Well guess what? I somehow took a step back and decided to embrace it.

My forced upon me life Break…..

Maybe now I’ll take up Yoga and Meditation Loool!
