Ted the Toad LIVES! 

Not quite ready to pick back up on my blogging as I’ve shamefully been absent from here for more time than I care to say out loud, however today I felt compelled to share the fact that Ted lives… 

Teddy is an American Fowlers Toad which are native to this part of Sacramento where I live. I found Ted near death and mangled from an encounter with a lawnmower and or weed wacker from what I could…

How to Easily Increase Your Page Views

Jana Thomas~Ortega:

Always wondered about this….. When I find some time I’ll be looking into this MailChimp thing lol

Originally posted on Reflections:

Have you heard of many ways to increase your page views?  Are you skeptical of some of them?  Do they sound like gimmicks, perhaps?  Maybe they are just too time-consuming to even consider considering you are trying to navigate life both in and out…

The Chronicles of Ted: He's Alive

The Chronicles of Ted: He’s Alive

Does it count that I have well over 4 different blog update posts on Ted spanning 2 weeks and counting sitting in my draft stack of ever growing future posts?

Probably not as any of you who have been following Ted’s progress are probably waiting on baited breath to see if Ted is alive or dead.

Ted lives.

Ted is a handful.

Ted is full of piss and vinegar which officially classifies him in our…

Thank You

Tonight I thank you…

I thank you for our time together even if it was cut short.

I thank you for the lessons you taught me.

Lessons which have left their mark, burned into my souls memory not soon to be forgotten…

I thank you for not loving me.

Neither one of us really did know the true meaning of it anyway…

Tonight I give thanks to my past as without you I would not be the woman I am today.

Than…

Tonight we Sleep...

Tonight we Sleep…

“#4 and the ‘baby’ of the pack of 4 felines here in our family; Mama Cat & “MC” for short… Asleep in her favorite basket I picked up at a garage sale last fall. She is directly above me near the ceiling as I sit at our office desk and type this…”

At first I thought it was only me as I awoke from a good nights sleep; yet as the day stretched on I noticed I wasn’t alone in this relaxing, peaceful,…

Why Are People of Faith Following Me?

Why Are People of Faith Following Me?

” This quote right here taken from the Bible is just one of many areas that I find annoying & controlling “. ” It just is what it is & I’m not interested in debating all the possible arguments citing how ‘it’s true meaning is being taken out of context’. I’m not a feminist nor an atheist make no mistake about that I just strongly dislike being discounted & categorized by importance based on my sex…

The Zodiac Signs

Jana Thomas~Ortega:

Boy…. She did a very thorough job making each signs descriptions very absorbable. I love it!

This post will be a overview of the different Zodiac signs. Everyone is so much more than their one zodiac sign, which is known in astrology as the Sun Sign. This is why so many people can look at their zodiac sign, and go “Hey, that’s not…

I Just Found The Tweezers. A Moment of Truth…

” Yep! That’s all mine however consider each strand as an olive-branch of womanhood… They look much longer & coarser than they really are… Or so I tell myself.”

I am a Goddess and I’m not being arrogant about it.  It’s just fact.

What woman doesn’t desire to and adore feeling like a sensual Tigress ready to pounce 24/7 even on her worst day?

Precisely.

That’s why when I misplaced my only set…

Speaking Up. Why It's Important.

Speaking Up. Why It’s Important.

When walking through the ‘valley of shadows,’ remember, a shadow is cast by a Light… Austin O’Malley

  One of the many reasons why I don’t have very many people I call friends is due to the fact that far too many humans lack an intact and erect spine.

That & as many lie. Lie as long as the day is long both to themselves & to us.

That and many have more excuses for why their life isn’t as…

Whole Foods finally got cheaper and it’s working

Jana Thomas~Ortega:

First time ever I swung into a Whole Foods Mart on my way home this past weekend. Just wanted broccoli and I’ve never paid so much for broccoli; in my life that I can remember… Not overly impressed with the snooty employees and fellow shoppers either…

Will be sticking to my usual stores which don’t include WF. I enjoyed this article this morning as it reaffirmed what I already…

What to do when No One Speaks…

“Although I cannot remember actually being here, this space calls to me as if I have called it home & comforts me immensely…”

I am an old-soul

It’s just something I’ve always felt yet wasn’t aware of the why I always felt so different & outdated than the masses dating as far back as I can recall…

With time I have learned that the reason why I have always felt & continue to feel so out-of-place in…

The Day the Men Ran Away...

The Day the Men Ran Away…

Two men in particular from my past come to mind more often than I like to admit but each time they do I can’t help but laugh to myself and sometimes even out loud at it all now looking back in the rear view mirror that is my life…

For the sake of maintaining their anonymity I shall use their nicknames given to them by two of my friends who despised them both from the start.

They didn’t loathe…
