Toolmarks of a Creative Mind
For everyone who is a creative person
Blog
Welcome to my blog. As the days and weeks pass, I will be filling this space with my experiences and trials in all aspects of my life. I welcome your thoughts throughout the process.
'You'll never plow a field by turning it over in your mind' - Irish Proverb and my motto. I incorporated it into my life in 2012. It reminds me that I can do anything I set my mind to as long as I get up and make it happen.
I am a constant watcher of the world around me and find joy in the little events that happen, for this reason I have a number of categories that organize my many interests. Find the one that interests you and check back often because I post to each randomly or become a member to receive updates to your favorites.
This is my life and I'm living it one bucket list item at a time!

By nature many of us are hoarders.
There is nothing wrong with keeping possessions. It's when these possessions take over your life that you need to reevaluate the limits.

They bought ...

I've noticed that helping others requires them to want to help themselves.
Changes is not easy.
Trust me I know.
Many of the people I've met over the last two years find it hard to believe where I've come from. They don't believe I was 50+ pounds heavier than I am today. They don't believe that I had to beg to get the job I have today. They don't believe that I had to bring myself back from the brink and acknowledge that ...

So the hard part is done, right?
Wrong!
I made a decision. Yup, it's true - me. It may not be the popular decision and soome might even say it's down right cruel. But I weighed all the pros and cons, and my decision is the one I'm going to live with.
I decided: Knowing Isis has Cancer, I am still not going to have her undergo surgery.
