The Brew

                   As humans we really seem to be  very hard on ourselves. We have to be the very best on everything but still doesnt seem to be enough. We have to have the top likes on facebook. The most beautiful pictures edit and perfect on Instgram. The perfect mother who bakes cookies and keeps house perfect while working full time. The go to dad who handles the house business keeps the family happy. Not to mention both trying to keep a social life with friends and not just the latest episode of mikey mouse club house. Life has gotten to be one big compatiton. A rat race for perfection. Because hay is that not what we are supposed to be? The perfect family. The perfect body. The perfect pictures. The perfect job and role. Absolutely PERFECT!! Right? Stop!! Just STOP! Stop nodding your head saying yes my friend. I am hear to tell you, that they rat race will drive you into a shrinks office. I have raced that race. I have tried t...

I have been asked why does the death of the great Stan Lee bother me so bad? I have been in complete denial about his death. My heart hurts. Piece of my self has died and child hood. I grew up reading and watching his work. We all did, he became a part of us and our children. Through his characters he inspired us to me the best we could be. I would not be  who I am today if it wasnt for his characters. As a child my favorite TV show was X-men. Storm was my absolute favorite of them all. With her power to control weather. Her mother like nature to the other x-men. I looked up to her. My grandmother made me a storm costume for halloween. I was so excited and felt so powerful. I knew I wanted to be a superhero. I just lacked the power part. So I became a nurse. My super power was my smarts and ability to care for people. As long as I had my trusty coffee I can take on anything. I could be some ones Storm or Rouge. I take care of people and save them. I might not have an awesome cape...

Fall is my favorite time of year. The colors, decorations, football, and Halloween. All my favorite things in one season. Only if my allergies felt the same way. Unfortinatly in Kentucky you can have summer, fall, and winter all in a weeks time. No joke this true. Thats why we layer. Any way not to mention Pumpkin and Apple flavored EVERYTHING!!Love to watch scary movies, Harry Potter, wear costums, and CANDY!!! Its just a fun time of the year. If you go to walmart you have Merry-thanks-a-ween. Which is when the trees in Nightmare Before Christmas smash together in one store. The beginning of the Holiday celebration. I love Halloween the most but, where does it come from you ask? Well I give you a little history. I was curiuse after watching Trick-r-Treat where all the halloween traditions came from. According to the history channel it came from Celtic Festival Samhain. They believed on Oct 31 is the begining of the dark time of the year. The spirits of the dead come accros...

I was drinking coffee at Starbucks a few days ago and was catching up with an old friend. We laughed, we cried, and we had coffee. My friend has been through so much in the last year or so she is one of the strongest women I know. The rock in her family. She was opening up about having a hard time dealing with her life. We both agreed that the most therapeutic thing we have done over the past few years. Getting together and laughing over a cup of Salted Caramel Latte. We both been through some tough times and lots of loss but we never forgot eachother. I never thought about this time we live in. People use Social Media to stay in touch. I do with a lot of my friends and family. Getting out of the house and going to coffee shop then actually going to a book store. I am a Kindle girl.  I found my old world again. I believe a lot of problems we have is we have lost our human conection. We are wrapped up in our lives. We don't take time to stop for each other or ourselves.  I am...
