As we age we realize that time is our enemy. The body rapidly grows weak, the mind leaks information like a whole in a bucket seeping out slowly. Names escape your mind while wrinkles like crows feet show up on your face saying hello.
Memories are blowing in the wind. My family and friends who have passed on haunt me of whats to come "the end". Like petals on a flower one by one blowing away in the wind a vague memory.
Life is fragile and like a vapor in the wind.

All day running, here and there.
Trying to be a help at the end of the day I needed help myself!
While on a week long vacation in the Caribbean I discovered freedom from worrying about my hair.
Yes. I don't have to worry about my hair, the horses hair nor the manufacturer of synthetic hair. There will be no more hiding behind wigs or weaves.
Finally decided to go natural and by making that decision I was able to get in the pool and go to the beach and emerge my entire head under the water.
African American women who have chemicals, weaves and wigs feel uncomfortable doing that. By swimming in the pool or beach that would mean having to style the hair all over again. There's a lot of work that goes into styling processed hair and weaves. So a hairstyle may have to last a long time so women of color may feel restrained from enjoying a nice swim.
I am truly not my hair and I am overjoyed about it.
I am NOT my hair ~ India Arie
She was absolutely right about that statement.
Loving the skin I'm in.
As I sit here in a place of solitude my reflections of the past haunts me.
Failures, disappointments and shame. I look around second guessing whose fault led to my demise was it you, him or we.
At the end of the day there's no one to blame not consistent, no commitment, hidden talents, laying as waste in a deserted place with dry bones. The memories of what could've been, the present thought of what could be.
Limitless...
Today as I walked out of my luxurious room at an all adult resort "Breathless" in the Dominican Republic I was approached by a Caucasian woman who appeared happy and relaxed.
She appeared to be in her mid forties wearing a straw hat and a black long sun dress. As we passed one another she said "good morning" I said "good morning! It looks like it's going to rain doesn't it?"
Although it was nice and sunny and hot enough to grill a hot dog on the sidewalk rain was soon to come.
We made small talk about choices and how a choice can be good or bad. Although we may find it difficult to do but choosing can be detrimental to your future.
Whatever the choice job, relationships, family matters changes do happen so choose wisely.
The View from my Eye's
The Dominican Republic is the point of destination these days.
Dominican Republic is simply gorgeous with a sun so hot it kisses your face in the morning.
Driving up to the luxurious hotel destination "Breathless Resorts & Spas" I felt like I've arrived home to my mansion. Servants were waiting to serve us all week long. Aw, what a feeling.
As we entered our room we were met with luxury, royalty and simply breathtaking views!
Breathless!
