Happiness and Wisdom

Well, It's now officially been 45 years since I took my very first breath in this world.  I have learned so much through so many hard-learned lessons.  I have made many mistakes along the way.  No one is perfect, NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE !  Being a Virgo, it took me a long time to learn that...  

I have definitely made some heavy mistakes in my lifetime.  I paid the price for them too.  It is often said that it is better to have Loved and Lost than NEVER TO HAVE LOVED AT ALL...  Well, I am calling BULLSHIT on that statement !  Any Love Lost hurts like HELL.  It is now 2019.  As we are now nearing the end of the year, I am reflecting back on the past year, but also on the years of the past in my lifetime.  Being a Widower is certainly not an easy thing for anyone to be or to wish for or to have happened to them.  

Recognize the people who are important in your life and celebrate them.  Remember no one is perfect, but healthy personal connections to the people around you are important.  You never fully realize and understand how important people are until they are gone.  May my Blog inspire you to mend fences, say you are sorry even if something is not your own fault, make sacrifices when necessary without hesitation, even if you must sacrifice yourself for the sake of others.  Stay humble and know that we are all equal under GOD.  

There are VERY FEW periods of my life that I can actually say I was "TRULY Happy".  So at this time, I would like to reveal some moments' when I was actually the happiest in my life.  

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words...  Here is one : HAPPINESS !  Happiness is NOT about money, cars, travel, paying off debts or anything material.  That is all FALSE happiness and it fades fast.  I actually learned and know what "REAL TRUE HAPPINESS" is.  If YOU, my reader, don't know what Happiness is, I would like to show you... :  Here is what happiness actually looks like...

Who Am I...?

       

       I had a real roller coaster ride in 2018.  That was definitely the year of many losses for me and lessons learned through ever-changing paths.  I have definitely changed in many ways.  I have grown both as a person and into a whole new person altogether.  So, who am I now...  

       I am a parent, a full-time vegetarian, a 100% TRUE believer in The Bible and in our Lord Jesus Christ.  I am a Single Widow now, An explorer, a creative person, a music and nature lover, a Film Editor, a free spirit, a realist and an optimist.  I am a lover of a simplistic life, a minimalist, a Chocoholic, a great slow and careful thinker, a lover of documentaries, a proud Cherokee Native American (til I die), a youthful middle-aged Fox, a Blogger / writer, an on-camera personality, and an all-around Totally Foxy Virgo !  

      I am all of those things and so much more...  Now for the loses and things that changed my life and who I am inside FOREVER...  In 2018, I lost my estranged wife "Chipmunk" to Breast Cancer.   I never got to say a final goodbye to her.  I lost 2 of my four kids because of her death.  1 placed in a foster home and the other on her own in a group home.  So now, I am fighting just to get 1 of them back in my custody.  The other is 20 years old and has chosen a path in life of her own.  GOD, please be with her, she needs your guidance and protection...  I lost my car, permanent severed contact with my oldest sister, an uncle passed away, an aunt passed away, a cousin passed away (Many multiple deaths in 2018), my job, my place and I almost lost my sanity.  2018 was definitely the year of GREAT LOSES and many lessons learned for me.  

 

The "Chipmunk" - R.I.P.

      I could be 1 really bitter person right about now if I really wanted to be, but NO...  I truly believe GOD has a much greater plan for me.  I needed to learn many great lessons in my life.  I also learned NOT to hold onto worldly things / personal possessions.  They overall hold absolutely no real value in this world.  The BIBLE also tells us not to hold onto things in this world, for when we do, we will lose these things (and so much more) and suffer for it.  Well, I am living proof that this is 100% TRUE !  I lost EVERYTHING and everyone that I had in my life.  I almost completely lost everyone around me, including the few close friends that I once had.  I even lost someone who was VERY Special to me, after my wife and I had separated apart...

       I have been forced to change the entire person that I once was.  I am still trying to figure out, who I am now at this point in my life with a totally clean slate ?  A whole new empty canvas to "re-paint" or to re-create myself.  The lessons that I have learned was life-altering forever.  I am now continuing to blaze a new path in life, as I continue to re-invent myself here in 2019, into a whole new me...  My past life, personality, ATTACHMENTS, and self-identity are ALL GONE NOW !  GOD has wiped away clean, EVERYTHING that was once : "ME" !  In "HIS DEVINE PLAN", I am now moving forward with a clean and blank canvas totally.  I will now just step back and allow HIM to paint the picture of who I am now !

I'm Thinking....small !

I'm thinking "small" in 2017.  Tiny to be exact...  I have been looking into Tiny Homes for quite a few years now.  After much research and personal evaluation, I'm finally ready to take the BIG plunge and go tiny...   

Recently, I attended a Tiny House show in Kissimmee, Florida.  Instead of just researching on the internet and watching it on TV, I actually got out to see them in person.  I went inside of everyone one of them.  There were many different designs and sizes.  Believe it or not, Tiny Homes sometimes aren't so Tiny !  That is actually a very good thing.  Especially when it comes to local permit and zoning laws.  I just can't understand why close-minded, prejudice governments want to make it so hard for people to live the way THEY WANT TOO.  

In my opinion, it's the best thing to do in this day and age.  I mean after all, We as human beings need to start scaling back the imprint, damage and waste that we have imposed here on our planet.  Mother Earth has given so much to us, we need to start giving back to our earth and environment.  There is also another side to this.  The financial and quality of life impact.

I have lived in Condo's, Apartments, Houses and even in Motels (sadly).  It was all SUPER EXPENSIVE, Grossly over priced and NOT worth the hype that the bricks were built on.  The ones that had bricks anyway, lol.  The fact is that we have ALL been living way beyond our means.  It's time we STOP...  Come to our senses and realize that we are killing ourselves and our planet in the process.  Who are we fooling anyway ?  Do we really need such large spaces ?  Do we need such expensive ways of life ?  Do we need to sacrifice our families and ways of life just to work all those endless hours for pennies ?  And for what ?  To make these BIG Corporations richer than what they already are !  No thanks...  I'm using the common sense of my elders and I'm now scaling back and even saving money (and my impact on our planet too).  

I'm now preparing the design plans to build my own Tiny House.  After seeing them in person at the recent TH show in Heritage Park in Kissimmee, FL., I know EXACTLY how I want mine build and modeled.  I will be doing more TH Blogs and LIVE Videos soon.  For now...  As of the date and writing of this blog entry...  This marks the beginning of my own journey to go Tiny and reduce my impact on our planet as well as my wallet.  Time to start the process of flushing all those bills right down the toilet and start investing in : MYSELF !  

Oh and by the way...  Here are a few photos from my recent trip to The Kissimmee, FL Tiny House Show.  It was a Super Fun day and a seriously cool experience !
