Thoughts and Tales…A Lifestyle Blog with a Zing.
This nicely encapsulated graphic from Elena Christina buttresses my earlier post “Why Sweat it. ” Do take a peek.
Why yes of course and thank you too for asking WP.
I have always known that you would prove to be a valuable friend and a late Christmas gift or even an early Valentines gift is highly welcome 😊
There’s a gadget that I am coveting very much but can’t afford right now.
It’s one of those fantastic high performance cameras, so that my clicking fingers can click to my hearts content.
I used to love posing for pictures, as time goes on, I find myself loving staring through camera lens and snapping away happily.
I have one that I use for traveling and she has served me faithfully for years now.
It’s a small one, not bad but the little darling is due for retirement and pension.
These days that my photographing juice is flowing, I find myself staring through the display window with glazed eyes, drooling and rubbing my palms together and doing all sorts of mental calculations on how to acquire such a beauty.
Now that you ask, things are suddenly looking up and I can see the generous Secret Santa in you.
Let me go and wait patiently.

Reblog. I always love seeing an aspiration come true. Congratulations Deb 😊
Happy New Year!
It’s a new day! It’s a new beginning! My God is a God of second chances. With this new year He is giving me more second chances.

Reblog. Quitting is never the easiest of accomplishments, but where there is a will, there is always a way.
I am a quitter! I admit it. I have quit smoking. I have tried to quit eating processed, unhealthy food, but it hasn’t happened yet. I have quit feeling sorry for myself. I have attempted to quit negative thinking.
I have quit holding others responsible for my issues.
I have quit waiting.
I have quit putting things off.
I wish the world would quit this poor me, serve me, pay me attitude that has somehow materialized within the past 20 years. And I am being serious!
When I was in high school, if we wanted something we got a job for $5/hour and worked after school for it for three or four years! Sometimes our parents helped pay for a car or our education, but we ALWAYS paid our debts back.
We have somehow in 20 years become a world that thinks everyone else owes us something. Shut up! Grow…

Reblog. I love lists and I guess a lot of you do so as well. This might interest you 😊
Dear Friends,
I invite you to live an experience for the forth coming year : build your own Great Book of Lists.
Lists reflect your happiness, your hopes, your project, your inclinations, the person you were, the person you long to become.
At the end of the year, 52 lists will offer a unique capture of your year. Compiled together, they’ll composer your Great Book of Lists, a gold mine of information in which you’ll be able to dig later on.
It will contain, I hope, humour, love, surprises, silliness – maybe – and many treasures for sure.
Each Monday, I’ll post a new theme and you’ll have until Sunday to publish you post, with the #TGBOL hashtag and a ping back to the post of the week you participate
I’ll publish a round up on Monday.
The comments section is all yours to suggest themes for the forthcoming lists.
Don’t…

Reblog. Toxicity cleanse. This might interest you.
Reblog. Have a slice of Magic cake.
I’ve been wanting to try this recipe for a while now. Of course the name is most intriguing. Magic. Anything MAGIC has to be good, right? So I assembled the ingredients and got to it.
You’re going to need:
4 Eggs / Separated at Room Temp
3/4 cup of Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
1 Stick or 1/2 cup of Butter / Melted
3/4 Cup of All Purpose Flour
2 Cups of Lukewarm Milk
Powdered Sugar for Dusting the Cooled Cake
8×8 inch baking pan (I only had a 9×9 inch pan, which made the cake height less than optimal for the cool layered affect, but it was still DELICIOUS!)
Mixer
Spatula
Several bowls for ingredients
Preheat the oven to 325 F degrees and grease the baking dish.
Start off by whipping the egg whites until they were stiff, and then set them aside. Next beat the egg yolks and sugar until light…
