Hello and welcome to February everyone :)
Update from the last blog: My NOLA report will be live on www.lifebetweenweekends.com Feb 9th! YAY! I am very excited and very grateful and very happy.
In other news, I've kicked around the idea for a few years to start a little business and see if anything happens. So thus I give you Renate Rose Jewelry! I have a shop coming soon to Etsy and of course will keep this blog up to date on all details and pages to see and whatnot.
Ok, shameless self promos over.
This has been a strange and frustrating 2015 so far. Yes New Orleans was amazing. Yes I am excited for new ventures and randomly wonderful opportunities. But despite all that it has already been a hell of a struggle in the back burner personal side of things. Outside everything seems pretty smooth and together but inside certain things are just ripping apart my good nature. I've always been good at squashing things and no letting the bad show, which at some points have made me feel like I have robot parts. Can't let those rust so you can't cry over every little thing.
When you're little you are told that you have the whole world in front of you and you can do anything. When you grow up that stops and suddenly you're painted into a corner and given all these roadblocks that prevent you from just going for it. I think it's time that those walls get steamrolled right down. Live your life at any age still believing that you can do anything. Don't them anyone make it hard. Don't let yourself make it hard. I've spent too long getting painted and now I've come to the conclusion that maybe it was always me holding the brush.
Keep on, keepin' on,
M.

Writing This Blog With A Skunk In My Lap
Hello!
I have been back home from NOLA, but not yet back to work. Tomorrow I shall finally return to the retail world. I actually can't wait. Yes I love vacations and yes I love to have lazy days, but after so long you just itch to get back out there and work! In my dreams and goals, I very much envision myself working from home and all that freedom. Work for myself, make my own hours, not worry about other possibly rude people. It's definitely something that I would like to make a reality in the next few years.
In accordance with my being back from vacation, I am posting about my trip. However it will be a guest blog on another website, run by a dear friend and her husband. It is called Life Between Weekends ( www.lifebetweenweekends.com ) and I highly recommend you check it out. It's all about living everyday like Sunday, which for most is their best day. Why not make everyday your best day? I will be sure to update when the NOLA post goes up.
Keep on, keepin' on,
M.

DAY TEN
WEEKEND BEFORE NOLA
Awwwwwwwwww YEA I'm excited. Monday morning we leave for New Orleans. I have never been and have made a list of all sorts of places to check out. Can we pack everything into 4 days? We're sure as hell going to try! My man, my best friend and his best friend are road tripping up and passing through Mobile, Gulfport and Biloxi as well. I am ready for southern countryside and adventures.
Won't be blogging during the trip but will be returning with a megablog of all the shenanigans!

DAY NINE
First proper day of vacation and what's planned for today? Cleaning.
We are going on vacation and I have learned that coming home to a clean house is easily one of the best things you can do for yourself. No one wants to come back from relaxing to do work. You want to come home and still relax.
So today I clean. And probably write an article about St. Pete for my friend's website.
It's called Life Between Weekends and it helps you stay energized and positive from M-Th :)
Keep on keepin' on,

DAY SIX
Oh damn, made it a twofer!
But seriously, can we talk about aliens for a small minute? Like how are we to know that we're alone in this galaxy? There is no way that we are the only proper lifeforms in this whole galaxy or even into the next one. The fact that we have 9 planets should tell you that somehow, somewhere there are others. I would really enjoy research on this.
Maybe my medicine is expanding my mind. Maybe its just making me loopy. WHO KNOWS.

Damn It DAY FIVE
Ok, so I missed one :(
I worked late last night and am currently still quite ill. More or less I'm just apologizing to myself, because I let my goal down. But I guess even goals need sick days.

DAY FOUR
Almost missed one already!! Ahhhhhh!
But to be fair I'm still sick and so tired. How can one sleep so much and still need naps? Mysteries of life for sure.
I'll be picking this back up tomorrow.....zzzzzzzzzz
