It was such a special weekend 🤩 I’m so grateful for the experience of another adventure with you 🤗❤️

So many clues 🤣

We ended up at a Books-A-Million instead because the B&N didn’t even move…they were gone gone 😱

I found myself in a college “bookstore” recently because the HUGE sign on the outside of the building said “Barnes and Noble” 🤔

My first clue I was not in a B&N was that there was school merch everywhere. The second clue was a lack of books. The third clue was that nobody offered me help 🤣

I broke through the “window” on one of my art pieces today 🥰

I’m so sorry, Melissa 🙏

Sometimes, I can see what I need to do or where I need to go, but there is a mental block in my way. It’s almost like looking through a window that I cannot open 🪟👀

What got me thinking about this today is an art piece I’m *working* on. I have the vision…with my hands up against the glass 🤣

I enjoyed the video 🤗❤️ It must have been a lovely walk in the park 🥰

Thank you, as always, for sharing 🙏

If I focus on all of the things I’ve missed out on in life that I wanted, I’d miss out on all of the things I do have. It’s okay to see what I missed. But I find contentment when I focus on what I’m given 🤗❤️

Ooh no 😱 That isn’t fun 🫣 So sorry my friend. You’ll make it to Thursday. But it won’t be fun. To bad you don’t have Mary Poppins there to turn this into a game 🤭 She’d make things fun 🤩

My LEGO Bonsai has lost all its cherry blossoms and has sprouted its leaves for the season 🤭

What’s beautiful on the outside is fleeting. What’s beautiful on the inside is eternal. I’m going to hold the beauty of each moment in my heart 🤗❤️

Thank you 🤗💞

Here are this month’s art shelf selections 🤩

Each feature cherry blossoms 🌸 All give me that Zen vibe 🤗❤️

Amazing 🤩

I love your plating. Presentation impacts the experience for me 🥰

Thank you 🤗

I’m going to try pan frying the kimchi before tossing it on the tacos next time. Someone suggested that and it sounded like a good idea too 🤩

Have a wonderful weekend 🤗❤️

I made tacos with kimchi again this week. But this time I made 2 important tweaks. Last night’s kimchi came from my favorite restaurant, Zen Kitchen and Bar in New Port Richey. That’s a huge upgrade 🤩 I also went with teriyaki sauce to upgrade the flavor of the protein 😋

So, I was thinking…

No matter how this week is feeling, I believe at least one important thing: You’ve got this 🤗❤️

Thank you 🙏 Have a wonderful day as well 💞

So, I was thinking…

I should let go of the things that aren’t meant for me. I should accept the things that are. And I should learn how to know the difference 🤗❤️

I think this is the first time I’ve celebrated my personal new year at two icon theme park franchises 🤔 Last week began and ended with some fun times 🤩

My LEGO cherry blossom bonsai is blooming 🤩 It will be like this until Friday 🤭 I love this season of the cherry blossoms 🌸 It’s a reminder to cherish the brevity of a moment 🤗❤️

Day or night, Spaceship Earth is beautiful 🤩

Thank you ❤️🤗

It was fun Disney Dapper Bounding as Figment at EPCOT for my birthday this past Friday 🤩

I also got to spend the day with my brother and niece 🥰 We didn’t plan it, but my brother also had Figment attire 🤭

Well, that’s embarrassing 🙈

I’m glad to be wrong 🤩

Embarrassed to have been got by a fake story 🥴

I’m glad I haven’t booked a trip to Paris 😱

I read somewhere that Olaf will not be greeting guests 😭

He’ll just be in shows and greeting the elites.

But…when I’m a trillionaire, I’ll buy Disney and then Olaf will greet guests instead of the elites 👹

The “news” of this made me sad. But I get it…

Happy Thursday, Gem 🤗 Thank you 🙏 Have a great Thursday as well ❤️
