Just Five More Minutes

-

 I don’t know about you but I am obsessed with Hallmark movies, especially the Christmas ones! Last year they made one called Five More Minutes. It was inspired by the song by Scotty McCreery called Five More Minutes. I had seen the commercials for it and it even had one of my favorite actresses in it but I could not bring myself to watch it because the pain of losing my grandfather months earlier the day after my birthday  was still very fresh. It’s very painful every single day.  I know it may seem silly to some people but I can’t help how I feel. Well fast forward to last night I had the Hallmark channel on and it came on. I ended up watching the whole entire thing. While I did tear up quite a bit, it ended up being such a great movie. I really wasn’t sure if I was even ready yet because I miss him terribly! I truly believe I was meant to see this movie. I literally would do anything in this whole entire world to have just five more minutes with him but then I think about how i would keep asking for five more and probably even longer! I would not have ever wanted him to leave us. I may not have been able to watch it last year but timing is everything and I believe it was time for me to watch it. I believe it was perfect timing in every way. This will be the second Christmas without my Pawpaw and the first Christmas in fourteen not nearly long enough years without my Camille who passed away in April of this year. As much as I want at least five more minutes with both of them but I don’t want them here suffering. I know they are both in a better place and no longer in pain but it still does not make the losses any easier. Grief is simply a difficult journey that is different for everyone. This is not an ad for Hallmark movies, this is just simply a reminder as the holidays approach us rather quickly please honor the ones that we may have lost and will always love. If you are grieving any type of loss please know my heart is with you.

P.S. Don’t Waste Anymore Time!

 Hello Everyone                 Before I start I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and is having a great new year so far. Back in 2022 I was chosen to be apart of a book launch and it was amazing. It got me back into reading which was something I once loved very much but kinda lost my love for so I was so happy to get it back. I wrote about my review and published it on my blog along with everywhere else I could. I feel book reviews can be helpful most of the time because everyone has a different way of understanding books and how they perceive it. This year I’m trying to read more books than I ever have.  Even though I was born after the show Friends first came out and I didn’t start watching it until I got older, I still absolutely love the show. It’s one of my favorites and I quote it quite often. It’s my go to show when I need a really good laugh. I have been a fan of each main cast member from friends for a long time but I always loved Matthew Perry. I always thought he was a

Still In Shock!

 Happy October Friends!            I can’t believe we are almost through October and going into November just like that. This year sure is flying by like crazy. I’m also still in shock I have over one thousand views which is so exciting and it’s something I didn’t think was ever going to happen for me.   I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to everyone who has been following me along on this journey. It really means a lot to me to have your support. If it were not for you I would not feel the want or need to continue my blogging journey.  I finally finished decorating for fall including my front porch! It was hard to decorate for fall because I love to decorate for Christmas more but I had fun once I finally figured out how I wanted things. Once I get an idea I tend to stick with that. I got some gorgeous mums for my porch along with a few pumpkins. For the inside I decorated my front table, my kitchen table and my mantle. I didn’t go too crazy but I’m very happy with how i

Thoughts On Mental Health 💚

-
  May is Mental Health Awareness which is one of my favorite causes to support. It’s also very near and dear to my heart  🫶     I’m so glad because mental health is very important because it needs to be talked about more  Personally I struggle with anxiety and depression which sucks majorly. Anxiety attacks are no fun. Feeling depressed isn’t fun either. If you struggle my heart is with you because I know how you feel in a way.  I really wish awareness for mental health wasn’t so stigmatized. There are so many people out there in the world suffering because they are too afraid to ask for help because of the stigma around it. I also think it should be available to everyone that needs it not to mention more affordable and very good. Everyone deserves help for this. Mental health is truly no joke. When someone’s life is at stake due to this, when is it enough!? I truly pray that those who cause trauma and cause mental health related issues or just make them way worse than they already ar
