Shell's Sentiments

This afternoon I was working on a project and as I was jotting down my notes, a song came to me. The lyrics kept getting louder and louder in my head. I knew when the article was complete that song su

My story and I am sticking to it. Yesterday another mom and I were having talk therapy at the store. My baby is leaving for college soon and her is a Senior in high school this year. Oh the strug

The problem with lies -You have to keep up with the story you presented. At first it may not seem like a big deal. However it is the details that always break you. You can not create stories always presenting yourself as the hero. Hiding or misrepresenting the details of your past is a dangerous game.

The words you speak become the house you live in! You don't suck.You can't suckThat would mean I suck - And that can't beSome days, life gets busy and things get dropped. Some da

Break my heart once shame on you.Break my heart twice shame on me. Break my heart three times - that will not be.

If you ever cruise out of Seattle, and are offered the opportunity to use Post Valet Services, do it. You will thank me later. The end of a cruise is hard enough.

Having someone pretty much cater to your ever need while aboard, and you are leaving that magically ship to return to reality, is hard!  

British Columbis did not disppoint. Even though we did not get to see much of the city. The last port of call before heading back to Seattle was Canada. British Columbia, to be exact. British Columbia is a beautiful Victorian town. Down to the horse and carriage rides available right outside the port.
