a bowl of caramel and apples

so, about a week ago i read this post and today, what i'm about to tell you reminded me of it so well!

i think you figured out what i'm talking about. caramel apples. i've never actually had one, so, this will be my very first time tonight.





so, there's all of the ingredients. apples, caramel, chocolate and nuts. what's next?


you gotta shine the apples. see that light in the center? that's how shiny it is!




you put the apples on sticks and melt the caramel and chocolate (not shown)


then you dip the apples in the caramel, nuts and chocolate and let it cool. delish.

::••::♥::••::


so, i've got to let you guys know, i love ya'll so much. just because i don't post doesn't mean i don't love you. i will always love you. now, do me a favor,

i decided to 'run away' from the world


i wrote this in my journal today. hopefully you like it. 

as I write this, I'm barefoot, lying on a thin blanket with the wind blowing and small little raindrops falling.

'Lux Aeterna, Lu ceat e is, do mine. lun sanctis, do is, qui appi us es' - Lux Aeterna by Z. Randall Stroope
that's a part of a song for choir. it's really pretty. i think it's irish, wait, lemme look it up on google translate.... um, it's latin. okay. latin. i have no clue what it means and i want to keep it a mystery. all i know is that it's a gorgeous piece. now thinking about it, i don't quite know why i wrote the lyrics down, they just came to me. i guess the little voice inside my head told me, "hey, write this down" so i did. 
'The puffy clouds, the nice breeze, this is perfect for me'

i just wrote that down, i made it up, it's just what's going on right now. i see stitch in the clouds, and a mermaid too. it's gorgeous. i don't know why but, it reminds me of life- the reason, i have no clue why- but what is life exactly? a jar of old pencils, what about a drawer of old paint supplies?

you're the paint brush, you have your life laid out in front of you- the canvas- and it's blank. you've got to have some fun with it! so, don't give me that word! so, you've got to be creative! just go with the flow! don't paint ahead of time, paint in the present, not the future.


find God



God was underneath me this whole time, letting me paint this journal out. He told me to write those latin lyrics down. He told me to grab my journal and write this. He told me to run away from the world.


♪::••::♥::••::♪


so, in order to run away i need to run away from blogging. so, i will be taking a week-long break starting tomorrow. i will still be answering emails, sending comments through, commenting on your blogs and pinning, just not posting. so, i'd like to have about three guest-posters. and maybe four. so, if you'd like to guest-post please, shoot me an email including what you'd be guest-posting about and your blog address. well, see ya'll in a week! bye!


p.s. check out this giveaway and a Jessica's Jewels giveaway on this blog

everyone else

i can't believe it's time to do another post for the unit! wowzers! it's been a week already? well, i better get started.

Be yourself.. because everyone else is taken
//source//


this is our theme for this four-week unit. last week's post was on being yourself. that was the first step in this whole process. i want to take baby steps with this study. and remember, i'm doing this, because, i truly need it.  so, let's start shall we?

be yourself- rap up


so, lemme just rap up what we talked about last week, okay? alright.
  • you need to find creativity in blogging
  • you need to remember your tools while you're fixing the problem- self-control, patience and individuality
  • do whatever it takes to be yourself.
sound good? alright, lemme start writing about this week's topic. 

everyone else- what you're doing


you're making a comparison. this is not what God wants us to do. He wants us to be fair and treat others equally and think of everyone the way you think of yourself- a regular person who makes mistakes and is not perfect but it amazing in His eyes. so, what's the comparison you're using? followers, age, friends? the list can go on and on. but the main ones are:

  • followers- you compare between followers. if you have a hundred and someone has a thousand then you think of yourself as a loser, which isn't true.
  • friends- you compare between friends and their blogs. if their friends has more followers than them and you, then you also think of yourself as a loser, which again is not true.

those reasons are what i compare myself to someone else. everyone i follow has at least two times the amount of followers i have. this is a sin. and i shouldn't be doing this. 

my toolbox- what i should use and how


so, take a look at your toolbox, what's in there. what do you need? first of all, i need self-control. why? because i need to control myself through this. this is a main cause of my anger issues and drama- my comparisons. it's something i shouldn't be doing, and when i do it, i just put myself down and place a lot of stress on my back. next, i need my faith. why? i need faith in God to know that he will always be there to help me through my struggles along this pathway. it's not all roses i'm stepping on. it's the thorns too. and i need to sweep those thorns out of my way and keep following the petals. if you're struggling with this step, u need to go read this post written by the lovely Jessica

look at the inspiration


so, right now, i've got a little thing made for you- just for you- to look at, maybe take and place on your blog, it's a little thing i made, just to keep you going. i'll explain it in a minute.




this size is 300 x 415. so, just take it, it'll help.

this is supposed to be funny- i did that so it'll catch your attention- and it's supposed to be meaningful. It has a great message behind it. so, there's one guy, right, and he's blue with green, circular eyes and a pink mustache.- who doesn't love mustaches?-  and there's another guy, and he's pink with black, triangular eyes and a blue mustache. now the only thing really the same is that they both have the same colors. but they're both different. and everyone is different! so, think of yourself as the blue guy, and your friend as the pink guy, the main thing you have in common is that, you're a person, a person that makes mistakes.

p.s. no copyright on this post! well, you have to credit this post


that's right! i'm placing no copyright on this post. so please, i beg of you, place this post on your blog! it will change the blogging community! you know, hopefully! so, please? alright, great! oh wait, just make sure to credit accordingly.

// autumn //

hey ya'll. it's meena. well, officially, in five days. it is autumn. that means that here in florida, it'll be cooling down about ten degrees and all of the magnolias are going to bloom and the leaves will turn a greenish yellow.

i know, in autumn, it's supposed to cool down to about seventy or sixty degrees. if only florida were like that. why do you love autumn? is it the leaves that turn so many different colors? is it the beautiful picnics you get to go on? is it the time where you can lay down under the trees and see stars? what is it?

my favorite part of autumn is probably, the leaves turning the prettiest colors. i still think that fairies will come and create the seasons. how about i break it down.

  • the fairies come and paint the leaves: artistic fairies
  • magnolias blooming: garden fairies
what are your favorite fall colors? i love the bright oranges and reds. like these:


autumn just takes my breath away. how 'bout you? why do you love autumn?

where dreams live; a poem

you are the dream chaser,
to the stars,
you are closer.
you carry your dust and powders,
hoping to apply them to sudden dreamers.
while you lurk in the air,
you pass a dream about a family heir.
you add the golden dust labeled adventure,
and a bandit crashes through the window.
you catch a raider dream
and shove it in your net.
you fly to the dreaming sky, and guess what spot you get?
the biggest star and dream in the sky.
now since you know where dreams are alive,
it's time to say Good-Bye!
there will be a new dream chaser on your pillow tonight! :)

••••••••••

this is a poem about a childhood memory. this is what i thought always happened to dreams. i always thought that a little fairy would come and sit on my pillow and wait for me to dream. then if she/he didn't like the dream and she/he wanted to add something, they'd sprinkle it like sugar on french toast.

so, whatcha think? was it good? you tell me!

That's all, hopefully you're rocking out!

my lil daydream

imagine, your in your own little country with everything you love surrounding you! well, that's what my daydream is about.



you're a girl out in the country walking outside on your farm's field that will one day be a vineyard. you look to the forest beside you and see a family of cardinals in the little cherry tree ahead just a few yards. you run to the tree holding up your white dress so only your boots will get covered in mud, but the lace trimming of it gets muddy anyways. you brush your red bangs out of your face to see them more clearly. you hold out your finger for a little perch and a baby bird hops onto your finger. you let her go and she flies out into the sun.

your almost at the barn and then you hear your mother come out the front porch door and yell "Jessie, darling, will you come help me prepare for supper?" you immediately run to the porch where your mother is standing with her arms crossed. "Go up and change into your gardening clothes and apron and come back into the kitchen to help me make chicken noodle soup and fruit and vegetable sandwiches." you take off your mud boots and run inside to put on your plaid dress and apron.

you start boiling the chicken broth and pour in the noodles, celery, carrots and chicken. while the soup's boiling on the stove, you start putting vegetables and fruit on toothpicks and place them on the glass tray. your mother hasn't even come down yet from upstairs with her apron on. once the soup is done, you place the pot on the table along with the fruit and vegetable sandwich platter and you run up four flights of stairs to get to the top floor and you are so exhausted that you just trudge to the master's bedroom and see your Mom laying in bed with a little baby wrapped in cloth on her chest. you gasp and rush over to see her.

"Mother, are you alright?" you ask. she nods and hands you the baby. "Say hello to your baby sister, Jessie." you hold her in awe. she is so beautiful. "Kassidy." you reply. your mother gives you a puzzled look. "That should be her name" your mother nods. you can't believe you've got a baby sister.


•••••


That's been my daydream for a long time. I haven't added on. How 'bout you add on to that story? I'm sure that you'd love to finish it. I'd love to hear your ending. But while i'm at it, let me try to finish the story.


•••••

after dinner my mother puts Kassidy down for a nap. and i run outside with my mud boots on and run into the barn and I find Zachary in that barn working on my car. he re-painted, now the red of my truck is even brighter. "Hello, 19-year old red haired beauty." he tells me. "Well, a nice hello to you twenty-year old blonde haired handsome." i reply. he smiles. he goes back to working with the wrench. i walk up behind him and lay my head on his shoulder. after a few minutes, he tells me, "hey, i gotcha something"

i step away as he pulls out a black box. and as he opens it, he kneels and asks, "Jessie Iris, will you marry me?" i blush and hug him and say yes. i kiss him too.

the next day, i wait on my truck for him to drive me there.

i don't care what you say, but this is the car we're driving in after the wedding.
{source}

he carries me and plops me in the passenger seat. i smile and we kiss real quick ad he drives to the field we're  having our wedding at. it takes a little while to get through the vows. and all we do, is look at each other with anticipation, and before the justice of the peace can finish the "you-may-kiss-the-bride" sentence, he kisses me anyways.

The End.

•••••

Great ending, right? I know! What did you think? Should i write more of these posts? I'll take that as a yes. alright, more daydreams, coming up!
