Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy.  Last week I had to say goodbye to my mom’s sister. She left this world suddenly. We had the funeral today and it was heartbreaking to watch her children say goodbye. My heart ached for them and for my mom. Seeing my aunt lie in the [...]

I was overwhelmed by the response that I received from my readers, regarding my Happy Pills post, thank you. I wish I received the same amount of comments to all my other posts LOL. It seems you have to be a little depressed to get some sort of reaction LOL. For the life of me [...]

I was really hoping to do a few posts a week but it seems, I’ll probably only manage one. This means there’s going to be a lot of info, especially in this post. Tranquil Body Treats is really taking off, we are doing well. I’m proud to say that because a lot of hard work [...]

Wow, when I look back at 2010 I do so (mostly)with a huge big smile. It has been a good year for me. I’ve been blessed in so many ways. Yes, I have the best husband and happy, healthy children but in addition to that I have………….. Mended my relationship with my mother, it has [...]

And so it seems that I am seriously obsessed with weight, don’t get me wrong I have no problem with other people being over-weight but personally I cannot deal with my extra weight. I have always been a size 10 and for the last 3 years I’ve gained so much weight due to the two [...]

This past weekend I attended a spiritual retreat. I was a little nervous as I’d never been on one before and I was not quite sure what to expect. Once everyone had arrived we sat down to a fantastic meal and then walked over to the Gnostic Sanctuary. There were brief introductions and once we [...]
