Transition Trifecta.....started 7/8/12

Today marks a very important day because I am initating the "transition trifecta" I began thinking about last fall.  "What in the world is she referring to???"---you may be wondering, but I will clearly explain what I mean now.  First I would like to explain the reasoning behind the changes....change is a constant; sometimes you have control over it, sometimes you don't.  Unfortunately, I have realized I am bit of a control freak and have discovered that things beyond my control have the power to frustrate the life out of me---literally.  For the past three years, I have felt completely miserable somedays because I have spent too much time worrying about things beyond my control.  That being said it is important to me to make choices for myself that will make me happy, because at the end of the day I believe one should rely on themselves to decide what is best for them.  Friends and family (like you reading RIGHT now ;)) can offer support by just being encouraging, loving, and in favor of seeing others happy and healthy.


Wow....it's been nearly a year since I began that post and almost two since I began this blog----I have failed miserably at keeping up with the posts, but what can I say other than life happens!  I wonder what other two components would have completed the trifecta!?!  Obviously I was SO consumed with mastering step one I cannot even remember!  So much has happened since that date last year.....now I have a new last name (it came with acquiring a husband), a new career (in the works) and a baby in my belly!  I couldn't help but think about all of the blogs I have been reading and how I had completely abandoned mine!

Well life is sweeter than ever and I would be more than happy to attempt to document it hopefully a little more successfully this time!

la dolce vita!

La dolce vita----three little words with one precious meaning; the sweet life.  

Those who know me well know that I have affinity for many things...one being Italian culture (wine and food especially)...so I thought "what words could sum up the things that I would like to share with my friends, family, and fellow blogging beauties?"  

I considered first what I would want to write about....and reviewed some fellow blogger's bits....then, all that came to mind was how much I love my life and nearly all things sweet, combine the two ideas----qui la dolce vita!!  


I am looking forward to writing about anything and everything that I find sweet joy and happiness in.

Ciao for now!



Brisk Breezes

Today's weather is not typical of Florida... usually I would be bummed, but today-- I am happy!  It officially feels like fall!  

It is hard to believe that I have been an official Floridian for almost seven years.....I can vividly remember the days when I would anticipate seeing the turning colors of the leaves...

 It meant that the weeks following would bring on a need for pulling out boots and jackets or maybe even going on a mission to purchase some new jeans.  

It also meant that there was a specific reason to dress out of the ordinary, watch scary movies, and consume way too much candy.  


 It also meant that my birthday was near.  The older I get the less it really means to me, as I much prefer making other  peoples birthday's special.  I definitely get that from my mom; from the ages of 2-21 she always put on a fabulous party with friends and family and made me feel like I was a treasure... more about this later... 

  A storm is coming in so the air is cooler...leaving the wind gusting erratically.  It has been getting darker much earlier due to the change of season; with it being consistently hot, this breeze is just what I needed to break my fall "funk" by reminding me of all of the happy things to come.


I am now eager to complete my work day so that I can go home and enjoy my other fall reminders---baby pumpkins (when they are not in the dogs' mouths) and fragrant candles burning.
