The One That Got Away

At 52 I joined Tumblr in the throes of heartbreak as I realized that the man of my dreams was never going to be mine. I cried a lot over him, but after the tears dried I decided to focus on self love. I’m turning 53 this month and finding ways to live my happiest life. I am so worth it ❤️

Hi there! I haven’t posted anything for a long time I know...but I just took a trip to Barcelona and thought you might enjoy some pictures 💕 Sagrada Família at night 😊

Sagrada Família

Park Güell

One the left is Picasso’s painting at age 14, and the one on the right is from many years later 💕

I took a paella cooking class

Hot chocolate and churros! 😋😍

Tapas were so yummy 😋

Joan Miró, my favorite artist is from Barcelona.

I loved walking through the streets in Barcelona where I found so many beautiful visual treats. I can’t wait to go back 🤗❤️

Pause.

This morning I woke up and decided it’s time for a longer break from Tumblr. I’m turning 53 in 16 days. Usually I’m giddy with excitement with lots of plans to celebrate in fun, exciting ways. This year the mood is a little different. I’m happy that I’ve been making progress on my self love journey which started last October but I’m feeling a little stuck and so I need to get unstuck. I’m listening to my inner voice...it’s time to go and figure stuff out. As I enter my 53rd year, I would also like my blog to evolve. You’ve all been so sweet and supportive, I’m so grateful. I’ll be back in no time! Take care 🤗💕

Self love. What is it? It’s what I’m asking myself as my life continues to evolve and I gain new perspectives. You may have noticed I’ve been more introspective than usual. In little over 2 weeks I’ll be 53. I’m looking at how far I’ve come, asking myself whether I’ve healed from heartbreak, and where I want/need to be physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.

It’s a super busy day so I need a short break! I finally got the overalls in a smaller size though. It’s so cute! 💕 TGIF

Food coma

Have you ever eaten so much at dinner where you wake up the next day and you’re still full as if you’ve just eaten? That’s how I’m feeling this morning... I think I’ll go running today and burn it all off 🏃🏻‍♀️💕

Last night I really wanted a beer 🍺 This one was a sour pale ale, it was so good 👍

This place had cool poster art in the bathroom.

For appetizers, these shrimp tacos hit the spot 🌮 🌮 🌮 Avocados make almost everything taste better 🥑💕

Burger and beer is a great combo. ❤️ This was one of the yummiest burgers ever. It was called the Ohio burger and it had Muenster cheese and carmelized onions. 😍

My friends opted for cheesesteak and pastrami sandwich 😋

Food coma. Warm bread pudding with bourbon caramel sauce and ice cream 😋

Taking a selfie after beer isn’t easy. I had crazy eyes in all my pics and this is the only “normal” one 😜 Happy Weekend 🤗💕

Selfie from last Halloween 🎃 Being a she devil with red hair and horns was really fun ❤️

Hi there, hope you had a lovely 4th. I’m feeling kind of shy of sharing these candid outtakes but I like them, they’re fun 🤗

Dear Crush, I know that you’re looking at me. I’m not oblivious, I just don’t know how to look at you ❤️

[lovely-libra-moon]

How do you feel about the people who follow you for your feet?

I think it’s nice that people follow me for my feet! I never liked my feet and used to keep them hidden. I was so happy with a pedicure one day that I decided to share pics, and never realized there would be so many people who like my feet. The attention has helped to me in a good way because I now take way better care of them. I’ve been sharing more foot pics lately, I hope you don’t mind. 👣💕

Hello, Happy July 4th. Hope you’re out having fun! 🌻

I have brown eyes, in some lighting I look like I’m wearing colored contacts but I’m not... ☺️

Thank you ❤️

Hi everyone, Happy 4th of July! I want to thank you for your love and support. I was looking at my followers list and realized there’s many names I don’t recognize. Regardless of whether we’ve met or not, I want to let you know I appreciate you. Thank you so much!!! 🤗❤️

[lovely-libra-moon]

My multicolored toe nails and a lotus flower toe ring 🤗 So pretty

And here they are with my white flip flops 😍

They give a happy-go-lucky vibe

Next time I’ll choose one color for each toe 👣 🌈💕

Simple pleasures bring big smiles 😊 Hope you’re doing well 🌞💕

Sometimes I feel self conscious when I’m not wearing eye make up, but this selfie makes me happy. I love it! 🤗💕

Beautiful voice to go with your sultry lips and gorgeous body!!

Thank you! I love singing. It lifts my spirits, I need to do it more often 💕

Singing

I’ve always loved to sing though I haven’t in awhile. One thing that I noticed in growing older is that my vocal range has shifted. I used to be in the mezzo-soprano range, but after 50 it’s become alto. Sigh...
