As we venture into October, my aunt and I were adamant to search for some fall colors around us. Therefore, we spent one weekend hiking from one mountain range to the next. We finally found it in a beautiful scenic area near the Snowbasin Ski Resort near Morgan, Utah. Continue reading “Autumn Colors Panorama”

#AtoZChallenge 2019 Reflection and Break


Another April gone, another A to Z Challenge done. 

Overall, I am happy with my theme chosen for this year’s challenge – Wordless Photo. One photo every day for each letter of the alphabet. I chose this theme to fit my busy schedule and I thought I was wise to do so. Ever since my co-worker quit on April first, I have been taking on double-duty at work while my co-worker, who previously performed the other half of my duties, shifted to do my former co-worker’s duties.

And it’s not just work. When I’m at home, every time I attempt to relax, someone was and is calling me to help them. It’s been so incredibly overwhelming at times that I just wanted scream and yell, “Why can’t you people understand I have anxiety issues?!”

With that said, I no longer could find the time to keep up with blogging and I don’t mean the part about creating blog posts. It’s the reading part I was having trouble keeping up. The creating posts part was easy, I already had all except for a few of the letters figure out by the time the challenge started and the photos I wanted to use. Then, all I had to do was plug in the pictures.

With the hectic schedule at work and the chaotic life at home, I decided to pause blogging for a while, to take a break. The break will not be indefinite and it does not mean I am stepping away from blogging. I will still check in once in a while to read a few posts, and write a post or two but no more daily posting.

After 6 years of writing posts and participating in challenges. I think it’s time to slow down and perhaps get back to what I originally set out to do when I started this blog – write stories to satisfy my wild imagination but now, with a few photos added. 

I hope you will stick around because I have a lot more stories to tell.

Here is my thought for this Monday:

Be patient, when it seems things are not going right and may never be right again. Accept that what is yours will come to you in the right way at just the right moment – Lyanla Vanzant

I planted these leucanthemums in my backyard a few weeks ago and so far, they’re doing well. I took this picture about two weeks ago and I think it might be time for me to take more as more and more of these pretty flowers come in.  Continue reading “Photo of the Week!”

I’m one of those people. Here is my thought for today:

The older I get, the more I realize I don’t want to be around drama, conflict, or stress. I want a cozy home, good food, and to be surrounded by happy people.
