The musings of a mermaid living in the Florida tropics
Wow, it's been a few minutes since I've posted here!! Looks like the last post I made was four years ago when I announced I was getting married and beginning a new chapter in life. Which I very much did, and there are still days when I can hardly believe how much my life suddenly… Continue reading Epilogue
It’s been awhile since I’ve sat down and posted on my blog, but A LOT has been happening lately that has kept my mind and focus occupied elsewhere. There are some BIG things happening in my life right now!!! Two major things are happening in the very near future: I’m moving back home to the… Continue reading One Chapter Ends And Another Begins
With all of the nonstop stories in the news lately about gun massacres and accidents, it's high time that I put in my own two cents on this issue and talk about guns from the viewpoint of a reasonable and RESPONSIBLE gun-enthusiast. And I have criticisms for BOTH sides of the issue, so brace yourselves.… Continue reading Let’s Talk About Gun Control: Views From a Reasonable and Responsible Gun Enthusiast
The topic of this blog post ties into my previous post about getting to talk to one of my favorite celebrities. Mainly, it's about the need to know how to be a proper fan instead of a psychopath. To put it simply, I have something to say to a lot of people out there on… Continue reading The Right and Wrong Way to Be a Fan
I've had the pleasure of meeting and interacting with a number of celebrities in my lifetime through working in film, competing in the pageant circuit, living in southern Florida, or sometimes just getting to converse with them online. I've chatted with, met, or even worked alongside some famous people such as Corey Feldman, Mandy Moore,… Continue reading My Most Memorable Celebrity Encounter
The time has come for me write something about the topic of shaming women for their clothing choices or the amount of skin they show. I've dealt with it countless times in my own life, and I've seen countless other women have to deal with it. It's a load of antiquated, misogynistic horseshit that has… Continue reading Stop Equating “Modesty” with Respect!
In honor of the 45th anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court ruling, I thought I would pen a blog post about abortion. Always a fun topic. I actually enjoy writing about topics pertaining to reproductive rights because I know so much about the subject and have spent fifteen years studying everything I can… Continue reading My Pro-Choice Manifesto
This past Christmas I finally made it home to be with my family. It had been two years since I had seen my family, with the exception of a cousin who came to visit me last year. This time I drove there instead of flying (GAH!!) because I knew that some of the gifts I… Continue reading A Shocking Revelation
The 18th of November is here again. I HATE this day so much. I dread this date every year. It's the day that Grandma left us. It has now been two years without Grandma. Two years without hearing her voice, two years without her guidance and support, two years of not being able to call… Continue reading Another Year of Silence
I've been wanting to post about this subject for many months now, and I'm so happy to finally be able to do so. This is a post that I think can help A LOT of heterosexual women in their struggles to find the right male partner. These are very true and helpful tips that I've… Continue reading Grade-A Relationship Advice
I've been meaning to sit down and write this post for quite awhile since it's been brewing in my head. This post is about understanding and embracing my true identity and roots as a "country girl" after many years of fighting against it and my journey to self-acceptance. But first I'd like to begin by… Continue reading Being Country
Hurricane Irma ravaged through South Florida on Sunday September 9th. The storm only lasted 24 hours before leaving my area, but it inflicted A LOT of damage in its wake. I watched the storm move in on Saturday night and by late afternoon the next day the storm winds were at their peak. Since my… Continue reading Surviving Through Irma
I figured I would sit down and blog a little before Hurricane Irma arrives later tonight/early tomorrow. Depending on how bad this storm is and where it hits, I may not have power in my home for a few days. I'm about as prepared for this storm as I'll ever be. I have all the… Continue reading Bracing for Hurricane Irma
Today is Lexi's birthday!! We are celebrating ten years together today. It was ten years ago this evening when she first came into my life as a little baby kitten. Ten years....where has the time gone?? It doesn't seem that long ago when she was just a tiny new kitten I could hold in one… Continue reading A Decade With Lexi
I'm quite late in posting about this, but life has been pretty hectic this summer and blogging just sort of slipped down to the bottom of my priority list. But better late than never I guess. On May 25th of this summer, we finally welcomed a new kitty into our home: a sweet new boy!!… Continue reading It’s A Boy!!
