Shell's Sentiments

I want to talk about chasing numbers and how we especially as women need to stop chasing numbers. To start the number on that scale it doesn't define who you are. It's just a number and that number can change daily. Numbers on a scale are different for everybody.

 I feel ya girl. If you stay in the shadows you are in your safe spot. Out of sight out of mind. I hear ya- you don't like all the attention or the fuss surrounding you. And the absolute last thing you want to do is cause a commotion by speaking your mind. Or even worse saying what's on your mind and offending someone. Then you have your worst fear acknowledged. You are abandoned. Left all alone. 

Nothing makes me happier than spending time with my kids in the kitchen. I love to help encourage their skill in the kitchen. Along with teaching them the value of cooking/baking for themselves. It never fails whenever we hang out in the kitchen that laughter follows. Usually behind a huge mess. But hey, not a big deal.

It is time to clean out your junk drawer. And I am not talking about the drawer in the kitchen. If you are from the South ya know what a junk draw is. If you are anyways else in the world, a junk drawer, typically in the kitchen, is literally a drawer that holds everything that doesn’t have 

The hubby and I had a date day and we wanted to do something different.  Something that we wouldn’t normally do because of the kids. I remember hearing that Top Golf had opened a facility close to where we live. I briefly read about Top Golf online. OK, not really I just checked the price. We had so much fun. The price wasn’t near as bad as I thought it would be. (I didn’t read what the price entailed. I just assumed I knew what it meant.) 

Do you feel like your mind is always running in 100 different directions? Ya know the moment you can not even finish one thought before the next thought starts pulling you in another direction. 

Happy Fall Y’all.While everyone else is running around yelling pumpkin spice this or that, I'm over here screaming give me the apples. One of my favorite fall treats to make is Apple Crisps or Apple Crumble. Heck it is the same thing as long as there are no Oats in it. Right? 

Your body is an amazing machine. If you sit back and think about all the functions that are happening at any given time, I don’t see how you can’t be mesmerized. 

Your phone dings. You look to see who it is. You see that a friend says she is in the neighborhood and is going to drop by. Your first reaction is sheer joy! You feel incredibly special that someone is wanting to see you. You can’t wait to talk to your girlfriend. Even if it is for only a few minutes. 

You may be surprised to learn that your body stores emotions that aren’t processed. This is a topic that very few people talk about. Not to mention even admit is possible. Totally, not mainstream. Borderline, wonky.
