Been awhile

It's been a while since I have posted anything. I have had plenty going on, but mostly I couldn't figure out what I wanted to write. I've decided to do things a Little differently from here on out.
I'm no longer going to stress about what to write or how to put it into words. I think this whole thing would work out better if I don't treat it like a blog but treat it as a place for me to share everything that interests me.
Now that I have said that I will no longer be doing the did you know series. I will no longer be writing what I think everyone wants to read. I'm just gonna post what I like. Don't like it? That's fine. Don't read it.

As they say it's a new beginning.
I hope you all enjoy the content I start sharing. Enjoy the rest of ur evening.

Be well, be happy, enjoy your life.

Be yourself

                  Be yourself

Welcome everyone.

The other day I was talking with my mom. We got onto the topic of hair, and makeup.  She told me of how she wished that she could dye her hair purple, or blue, and that she wished she could be bold enough to wear her makeup darker, or with vibrant colors. We talked for a while about it. I asked her Why she didn’t just do it. Her main reasons were, because she was afraid, she wouldn’t like it, and that other people wouldn’t like it. (My response to this is always advice). I told her if she wants to dye her hair she should. There are dye’s that last for 30 washes, and that’s it. If she didn’t like it, she would only have to deal with it for a short amount of time. I also told her that the only opinion that should matter is her own. Ever since this conversation took place, I have been thinking a lot about it.

Through out my whole life I have heard people say that they can’t do something bold to themselves. When asked why, I am always given the same answer. Fear. Why let that fear control you?  Those thoughts of everyone else’s opinion, don’t let them get to you. Those thoughts of you not liking the outcome, push past them. The best thing about being your own person, is truly being yourself.

Want to dye your hair? Do it. Want to wear vibrant colors, or wear different cloths? Go get them, and put them on.  There is an entire world of possibilities. Open your mind. Fight your fears. Be who you want to be. 

Till next time.

My artistic passion

                                My artistic passion

Hello readers how was your day? I hope it was as good as mine has been. Today I wanted to talk about my thoughts on my paintings.  and hope that I can make your day better with the art I have painted. Enjoy!

The Beach

 In this first painting I imagined myself on a beach. The smell of salt in the air. I could feel the warmth of the sun begin to flow over me. I can hear the soft flow of the ocean in the back ground. Calm washes over me.  All my worries, and stress melt away.

Sunrise

When I started to paint this painting, I really had no idea what would come of it. I just put the brush to the paper and started with a single color. As I moved the brush over the paper ideas started to form. This is the end result. When I look at this painting, I imagine; the leaves of the tree start to move in the warm breeze. The morning air is crisp. I can see the dew on each blade of grass. When I look at this painting I feel refreshed.

Space

This is actually a close up of a box that I painted. Its meant to look like a more colorful version of space. I love how the colors flow together. It came out just how I imagined it would. I will let you take whatever you want from this one. 

I hope you enjoyed todays blog. There will be more like this in the future.

little thought's

                                        

                             Little thoughts

   Good evening readers. 

My hope is that you are all having a wonderful evening. Currently I am listening to some music, and my little one is in bed.  Just wanted to write down some of my thoughts. (I do this often to clear my mind)).  I may not post this I just never know if I will. Because of this I start all of my thought pages as if I am going to post it). I know! why would someone tell you all of this? I tell you because my thoughts are usually very disorganized. Just wanted to clear that up before I start.

I was just distracted. Alyssa woke up in need of a baba (bottle). She’s still working on using a sippy throughout the day. I didn’t want to put too much stress on her with adding night time. Speaking of my daughter. I have bee reading up on different (proper) approaches to better handle tantrums. Yep that has started.

A song Has just come on and caught my attention (Ill mind of Hopsin 7). I recommend giving it a listen. (I have always told everyone. I like a lot of different music). “Music is something that helps heal the soul, and to help figure out someone’s feelings).

Some nights seem to go on forever. (Tonight, is not one of them).  I have insomnia. There are a lot of night’s I don’t get much sleep. That is something that not many people know about me.  Back to what I was saying though… Some nights really do seem to go on forever. Tossing and turning is not something I would classify as fun. Even though it sucks most of the time I get some sleep (even if it isn’t much). When I wake up in the morning, I am usually just happy I got some sleep. I don’t really know why I’m thinking about this right now.

New topic.

Sorry I just had to take a minute to appreciate how together my thoughts are tonight. Honestly it doesn’t go this well any other time. I have also been trying to work on this. Seems to be working a little bit. I say this to myself, but I am sure you all disagree.  It’ll be ok.

It is crazy windy outside.   I hope we get a thunder storm tonight. I enjoy storms. They are loud, but I find them calming.  T he best part of a good thunder storm is the lightning. I love how it dances across the sky. Cracks of thunder following it as it travels to the earth.  

I find it funny how things change. How we as people change. We all go through our own struggles. These struggles are what make us into the person we are supposed to be. I like who I have become. I am truly happy with my life. This is the first time in my life I have ever been truly happy. This is also the first time I have found peace. I don’t mean quiet. I mean calmness of the soul. Those who know me know some of the struggles I have faced in my life. There were a lot of obstacles to get past, But I have gotten past each and everyone of them. I have been feeling this way for a couple of months now. It amazes me how much life changes. The reason I find it funny is because, I still have so many years to come. (Anything could happen. right)?  When I was younger when I thought about my future, I could never imagine one. Now I know I have a bright future ahead of me, and so does my family.  

Ok let’s bring this thought process to a conclusion. My mind is clear, and my heart is happy.

I truly hope you all have a wonderful night. Sleep well, and have the best of dreams. 

Goodnight.

Be well, Be happy, and Enjoy life -Kandi
