What @lucyhale means to me and some other stuff! #lucyhale

So I have talked a little bit about Lucy Hale in previous blog posts about how she inspires me and such but not a full on blog post about her until now. Also I will talk about how I feel about the whole photoshopping crap and role models. 

So I have been watching Pretty Little Liars since day one and from the second I saw Aria (Lucy Hale) I knew she was my favorite! I just connected to her more than the others. Flash forward to now and she is still my favorite and not only that, Lucy is one of my biggest idols and inspirations in life. Lucy is just amazing. She is sweet, caring, compassionate and helps whenever she can. She is a true positive role model to not only me but to so many others out there. Us women and girls need people like her to look to up to and to inspire us to go for our dreams and to remind us that we are all beautiful no matter what. Lucy does that for all of us. I am so proud to be a Haler and to call Lucy my inspiration, idol and role model and I don't care that I am 26 years old that will never change. Lucy is one of the few people that helps me to believe in my dreams and inspires my creativity and gives me hope when I have none. Her music gets me through each and every day and through the tough times I have had lately with the passing of both my grandmothers and that means more to me than anything. I am so grateful that I got to meet her back in January as y'all know by now but that day still means the world to me even now and always will. I love you Lucy, you mean the world to me and always will! 

Lucy Hale is one of the few people that are true positive role models. In these times, people like Lucy Hale are so important for all of us. We all need someone like her to look up to and I am glad I look up to her. People like Lucy show us how to be good and loving and helps keep our self esteem and hope up when they are low. I know how that feels. It is especially important for us women and girls to have positive role models like Lucy who are against the whole photoshopping thing. People like Lucy show us that we are beautiful just the way we are which is so important. 

The whole photoshopping thing makes no sense to me at all. Nobody is perfect so why try to make people into something that nobody can become? That's what promotes body image issues and it is so wrong. We need to lift each other up not tear each other down. We need to help each other believe that we are all beautiful. Nobody is perfect like I said and Hollywood should not be promoting fake and "perfect" it sends all the wrong messages. They need to promote what is real and show what is real and I am glad that Lucy Hale believes that too. 

So anyway, those are my opinions on Role Models and Photoshopping and what Lucy Hale means to me! I hope ya'll enjoy reading and there will be more blogs to come!

Some Things Are Hard To Understand..But Music Helps (Especially Lucy Hale!)

So if you don't know already, my Nana passed away on July 4th and my Grandma passed away back in February. That's right I have lost both of my grandmothers in the same year. I no longer have any grandparents alive. I can't seem to wrap my mind around that. This has been a very hard year for me. I wasn't expecting to lose one let alone both my grandmothers in the same year but it happened both unexpectedly actually. It all just feels kind of surreal to me. It's like those things you thought would always be there and then poof just like that they are gone and it is just hard for me to grasp. 

So RIP Nana and Grandma. I will always miss you and love you. Like I have said before Grandma gave me a love of baking and Nana gave me the love of Country Music. We would sit on the couch and watch CMT music videos sometimes all day long back in the 90s of course. Shania Twain, Martina McBride, Leann Rimes, Tim McGraw, George Strait, Clint Black, Garth Brooks, Brooks and Dunn, just to name a few of the artists we would watch. It made me fall in love with this great genre of music. So, when both my Grandmothers passed away, I turned to music to help me through, more specifically I turned to Lucy Hale's music to get me through. Her beautiful voice and those powerful yet relatable lyrics she sings would comfort me in way I needed most. I would have Nervous Girls on repeat and still listen to it everyday more than once sometimes. "I'm beautifully strong and tragically confused" that lyric from Nervous Girls is my favorite song lyric of all time. It describes me to a T right now in my life. I love those lyrics so much, I made my own art with them: 

I

 It is supposed to be a waterfall with the lyrics in the middle if that wasn't apparent. It would probably be more apparent if I scanned it instead of just taking a pic of it. I plan on scanning it a little later. I hope ya'll like it though. I really hope Lucy likes it too. Anyway, that's what I do to help myself cope. I listen to music and write, draw, and write some more. 

I will always remember the good times I had with both my grandma and Nana and without Lucy's music, I would have fallen completely apart by now so thank you Lucy, from the bottom of my heart for helping me get through these tough times with your music. I love you more than you will ever know. Last bit of confession, when I first heard Lucy's song Road Between, I had tears streaming down my face, I related to it so much and it was so beautiful and inspiring that I couldn't help but cry. 

Anyway, cherish everyone you love you never know when it will be your last moment with them.

My Poems. Just some of my poems that I have written about the people, places, and things that mean the most to me!

Just wanted to put some of my favorite poems that I have written together here so ya'll can read and I hope ya'll like them! 

This poem is called "Lucy" I have written this one about my idol Lucy Hale there is also another poem that I will put after this that I have written about Lucy Hale as well: 

Lucy

She's the prettiest flower 
in the bouquet
She's the sweetest sugar
In a glass of iced tea
On a hot summer's day
She has a smile so bright 
It shines like a star in the night sky
When it's dark, she's the light 
She's an Angel from up above
And that's no lie 
She's as warm as a cup of Starbuck's coffee
And as cute and lovable as a unicorn
She's just like you and me
I'm so glad she was born
She pours her heart out through her songs
So why don't we all sing along
Her name is Lucy can't you see
How much she inspires me!

My Country Queen

She's a beautiful girl
So full of love
She sings to the world 
She's someone I'm so proud of
She's so full of grace 
And so full of art
She's truly amazing
And has a beautiful heart
She inspires me everyday
To keep going and hold on 
I just listen to her music 
And all my troubles are gone
Her name is Lucy 
She's a sight to be seen
It's no wonder why
She's my Country Queen!

Those two poems are about Lucy Hale!

I have also written poems about my other idol, Alyssa Milano 

This one is called "Heart of Gold" 

Heart of Gold

You're beautiful in every way 
You're light shines through on everyday 
You're love is a gift from your soul
Because of you have a heart of gold
When disaster strikes somewhere 
You're here, you're there, you really care
You make others feel whole when you console
Because you have a heart of gold
Baseball is a game you really love
Creating fans is what you're made of
Sharing you love with the world as a whole 
Because you have a heart of gold
You can really make a person smile 
You really have a caring style
Your light and love will never be cold
You have a heart of gold!

 My Hero

My hero is someone with a huge heart
She is a true beauty inside and out
She is a woman who is very smart
She will be there for you without a doubt

My hero loves animals of all kinds
She loves sports, her son, & family too
Her clothing line is full of amazing designs
Her favorite color is Dodger blue

My Hero loves everyone
She is someone we all can look up to
She shines like the stars, moon, and sun
Guess what Alyssa, My hero is YOU!

Those two poems are about Alyssa Milano 

I have also written poems about my Fiance Rob. Here is one I don't have a title for 

You came into my life when there was no one before
To make my life complete
You make my life worth living for
You are always so sweet

God gave you to me
To be my happiness and love
The true love I thought I'd never see
To be the one I always think of

You are my soul mate and true love
The missing piece to my heart
The one I have always dreamed of
We will never ever be apart

This poem is about my friends in general not to one in particular

Friends like you
Fill the world with rainbows and sunshine
and make the grey skies turn blue
I am proud to call you mine

Loyal, dependable, and caring too
Always there with a laugh or smile
The world needs more friends like you
You make our friendship really worthwhile

So I dedicate this poem to you
My best friends forever
You are always so true
You are the best ever

This poem I wrote for my 8th grade English class when I was 14. 

Wild Springs Flow 

Wild springs flow
Where the green grass grows
With flowers it seems like hours
As day turns to night
Creatures are in sight
To come drink where the 
Wild Springs Flow

These last two poems are the latest ones I have written because I just wrote them today. 

Little Red Box 

Small, plastic, and red 
Covered in stickers
And
Sitting on my bed

Filled with memories, photos, and stuff
Fun times and knick knacks
I can't get enough 

A life
This little box holds
Priceless possessions
And stories to be told

My little red box 
Means the world to me
It holds my treasures
Now you see

Most of my poems are based on real things/people/places. This one is about my little red box as you can see.

This last poem I wrote today is called "Home" this one is about the place I grew up in. 

Home

Fireflies, honeysuckles, fresh country air
Free to roam
Without a care
Fresh cut grass
Sprinklers and bikes
Slip n slide fun
Flying colorful kites
Always barefoot 
Swinging on swings
playing with the neighbors
Oh the joy it would bring
How I miss those times now
As I wander and roam
Finding my place I know 
This place will always be home! 

I hope ya'll enjoy my poems. I am always writing and there will be more. 

~Peace and Love~
