The Spicy Truth

I have learned through the years you have to take the good with the bad. You have to learn to balance the highs with the lows. For every moment you spend sad, and angry are moments of happiness you lose as well. So, for every moment you spend sad or angry... just know things will get better because they always do. Letting the little minute stresses reflect your day to day happiness is just not worth it. Don't let a past love dictate your present love. Never let the actions of a past lover control your emotions of today. People from the past are examples of what you don't need in your future. People are often in our life for seasons teaching us lessons putting us through trials of reason. Accept change because face the facts we all change. This is life... so, take as many pictures of your everyday adventures as you can, and laugh a little harder than you cry because often times... laughter really is your only remedy.

Until the next time keep it Spicy,

“Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.”

Truth is... I lose myself in music almost everyday, and there are days where free hand doodling loses me in a world where creativity blends artisictially and allows me to express verbally where my state of mind is...

Music is my soul... we all know that or well, I do... but music is also love.. and without love there is no music at least that is how I see it.

So... this is me expressing myself lyrically... and artistically. I saw this image while browsing online, two doves holding a heart up, and then I added a bit of a twist to it... my hearts shown to be broken, but its being held by two doves... I will let your imagination tell the story, but I added one to the image... I call it... "Gaurded heart of mine..." I am a woman of many talents... and this is me sharing one of the many... in time.. I'll eventually figure them all out... anyway, hopefully you like my creative thought behind the image...

until the next time.. keep is spicy :),

P.S.- I know I said I was going to post a blog with pictures from my birthday... I will get around to it this week.. just been busy with real life problems. I'll get to it, promise!

*Blog title credit goes to American cartoonist Scott Adams.*

Wasn't supposed to make it past 25... jokes on you because i'm still alive!

Wow.. so I just celebrated my 26th.. and yes I said... 26th birthday on December 13th!!!! Bless every soul that had no clue how old I was and told me I did not look a day older than 22... seriously bless your generous hearts!!

First and foremost I would like to shout my parents out... they chose life for me, and I cannot be anymore thankful than that choice because that choice was a gift given to me by them! May they continue to rest in paradise!

Special thanks to everyone involved!! I will be posting a blog next week in further detail once all of the pictures are taken, sent, and delivered to me! The weekend holds more celebrations with friends from out of town!

I am truly blessed, and thankful for every real individual in my life! You all are a blessing!

Until the next time keep it spicy,

Creative minds think creatively all the time

For my brothers birthday I was having the most difficult time trying to figure out what to get him. The man has almost everything he needs, and could want that I could afford. I had to think outside the box for a bit. Then a lightbulb turned on, and I saw the light!

I purchased a deal off a living social from the Star registry, and decided I was going to make a memorial star for my deceased parents, and also a star on behalf of my brother.

I did not want to get them framed, but wanted to give them to him in a creative way. Even though the gift in itself spoke volumes of creativity, but I needed to add my flavor to it.. I needed it to have some spice in it.

So, I ventured to Michaels and came to the conclusion I was going to make it a message in a bottle from the moon, and here is the finished product of what I made...

I picked up some added stuff for decor on the bottom to give it more spice :)! The closed top is actually spray paint gold & gold glitter, and then the certificates for the stars is the message, and the little yellow are also messages which are quotes that relate to both stars made for my brother.

The first quote is, "Best friends are like star you don't always see them, but you know they are always there."

The second one you probably read in the post about my mother, but in case you missed it, it said, "Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."

On the bottom were my idea of moon rocks, hehe. I had to keep them spicy too! I love gold.. so why not add a little bit of me in this gift.


It brought down the waterworks, but he loved it, and that is what truly mattered to me. It was worth it because now.. we both know.. we have a memorial star on behalf of our parents, and when we are not around one another and miss each other we can look up at the sky knowing we are close at heart.

In case you were wondering... I'm already a star... my best friend bought me one for me :)! Thanks Nayela... I still am, and always will be so appreciative!

Until the next time. Keep it spicy,

Pooja
