The Brew

OK! something struck me very weird the other day.  A friend asked me if Daniel and me ever fight.  My answer was Daniel and me, we don't fight. Apparently we are weird for this. By the look on her face. Now I have always thought us being an odd couple. More like "Adams family" odd than, relationship in general odd. So has fighting with one another really became the norm? Really? How is that even a relationship? How is that the "Happily ever after" we have strive for sense Disney put out Snow White? Do not get me wrong we do disagree and have our moments of struggle. Every relationship does. But the yelling and fighting? That is not healthy my friend. In my experience when you get to the point you want to yell at the other person (boyfriend, husband, girlfriend, friend) Its because there is something you have been wanting say for a while. You clearly need to sit down and discuss before this has gotten to this point.  Communication is so important in every relati...

Namaste! Most likely my favorite word to say. Other than Coffee. Namaste I bow to the divine in you. I literally means I bow to you. I mostly used in yoga class or meditation. Yoga is something I am passionate about I try do at least three times a day. Having a space to do yoga can be tricky at times. Some day I will have a yoga area but until then living room or out door patio will do. The things i would put in my yoga space and what I believe is a must i will share. Yoga space has a few needs to really get the full experience. Yoga is not just an exercise it is a practice. Yoga is to some, a life style. As for space a yoga room or corner is something every yogi should strive for. I will help with a few needs. Lets start with basic equipment to gather needed to participate in yoga. I know this might go with out any say. Yoga mat is must. None slip surface with plenty of comfortable padding to protect knees and hands. There are a lot of different styles and sizes. Research and t...

I have to say as a child if I could go back. I would not pray to be an adult successful career woman. I made it and did it. Not with out his guidance and strength. I would pray for wisdom. Not just any wisdom. Spiritual wisdom. Deep roots inside. So I can later plant beautiful fruit. I didn't know what a power it truly is. Who needs wisdom when I can be boss lady. Didn't know how much those correlate together.  Prov 3:13 "Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding" Who knew how powerful and important those words are? Well the big guy upstairs did. Granted I feel that should have been like the first words. But instead Gen 1:1 in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" I guess he wanted us to make sure we knew who he was at first. Then the rest. He knows best. Wisdom is the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment; the quality of being wise. Which takes time and a lot of practice. The problem is we live in su...

One of my favorite things is to read. It relaxers me. My escape from the world that I live in. Go on adventures and never leave home. When I am stressed out I can pick up a book and dive in to the words. Fantasy or mystery, lately it has been inspirational books that I can grow from. Ether way I love it. I believe every true reader needs a space that they can cozy up to and read. There own personal reading nook. Mine just happens to be my side of the bed. Some day I hope I will have a window seat to cozy up to and read. There are some must haves for a reading nook. Reading nooks must have good lighting. I know these sounds light a know brainier. Every lighting is different. Bright lights can be too much when trying to relax more like lamp light deem but enough to read with. Lighting is very important it can make or break a room. Lamps are handy to have to set the tone of the room. You can have all the lights on and bright room. Just lamps on be relaxing. Finding space in a tight smal...

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...
