Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope each and every one of y'all had a great day filled with food, family, and fun! I got to spend my Thanksgiving at a beautiful beach house right on the beach here in VA Beach, VA! There is so much we should be grateful for not just on Thanksgiving but every day. Here's just some of the things/people I am grateful for!
I am grateful for my family of course and my amazing fiance Rob who I love more than anything in the world!
I am grateful for all of my friends! My best friends Sarah, Ellen, Lisa, Delphine, Asu, Jen, and Lippy!
I am grateful for my cats Angel and Mooch who I will see back home in Florida on Saturday night!
I am grateful for my wonderful water aerobics instructor and friend Annie!
I am grateful for my favorite youtube vloggers Madrosed! Maddie, Janet and the whole family! They give me something to look forward to watching everyday with their awesome vlogs and their Saturday night live show just about every Saturday night as well!
I am grateful for my idols Lucy Hale, Alyssa Milano, Jennifer Morrison, Lana Parrilla, Melissa Benoist and many others for always giving me a reason to smile and hold on even when I don't feel like I can keep going. I love them all so much!
I am grateful for my favorite shows Pretty Little Liars, Once Upon A Time, Supergirl, Quantico, and many others for being a source of comfort and happiness and giving me something to be passionate about!
I am grateful to have God in my life and to wake up every morning and be healthy and to have food and a roof over my head and clothes to wear.
I am grateful to be on the beach right now and to be able to hear and see the ocean waves right outside of my window.
I am grateful for the little things life that bring the most happiness!
Those are just some of the most important things/people to me that I am grateful for. There are so many people who have less than we all do and we should be grateful for all we have each and everyday not just on Thanksgiving. The state of this country is sad and frightening right now and we need healing, love, hope, peace, and strength more than anything right now. I pray that we all make it through these next four years no matter what happens.
So enjoy this Thanksgiving and all that y'all are thankful for and remember to pass along a smile to someone you never know how much that could mean to someone and also give back when you can as well.
~Peace and love to everyone~

My Thoughts on this Horrendous Election
I have not blogged in a very long time I know but I had to blog about this mess of an election tonight. I just don't get it. I sit here shocked and speechless as I type this. It seems as though hate has won in this country and it sickens me. It's so sad and I don't know what to think. I am terrified of this outcome, not just for me but for all the women, non-whites, LGBTQ+, Muslims, ect in this country. I am terrified of what this could bring us and I am ashamed to be an American and a Floridian right now. Proud of my home state of Virginia though. This happened right before the holidays too.
This election has brought out so much closeted hate, bigotry, intolerance, violence and I am terrified that is just going to get worse now. I am terrified for the world. I feel hopeless at this point and I don't know what else to do but pray. I never in all my years ever imagined something so terrifying that could happen. I don't know what is going to happen from here and for the next 4 years all I do know is that there are still good loving people here in the US and even though our voices became drowned out by the hatred and bigotry we are still here and we will never give up the fight. We may be down now but we will never be out. We can't let hate win. We can't give into fear. We have to continue to fight for what is right no matter what happens. There is still love out here. I promise you not all of us white people voted for that orange monster I know I didn't and neither did my fiance Rob who's birthday is today actually and neither did all my idols.
I can't believe this really happened even though it's not over yet it's still surreal to me. How so many people can support such hatred, racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, ect is beyond me. This just shows how much hatred is still rooted here in the US and it's frightening and sad. We are one people, one planet, and we can't even come together to make things better for everyone. I was really hoping to see our first female president get elected tonight. Even though I am terrified right now all I can do is pray. I will pray for a miracle, pray for a better outcome, pray for love, pray for peace, pray for anything to help this disaster.
The only thing I can think of right now that brings some form of comfort right now is one of my favorite shows Once Upon A Time and 2 of my favorite characters Snow White and her daughter Emma Swan. Before Emma was born, Snow White had a bounty for her heart from the Evil Queen (Regina) because as a girl she told Cora (Regina's mom) about Regina's love Daniel and Cora killed him and ever since then Regina wanted Snow White dead basically but Snow White is a Princess she has her kingdom to run and even while on the run she was always there for her people. She protected them and found her true love with David and had Emma but of course the curse forced them to send Emma to our world through the cabinet. Emma is the savior and is always there for everyone. She protects those she loves the most. She and her parents and Regina who is amazing now save their town on the daily from villains and dark ones. It makes me believe that love conquers all and that good will always win. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
So, enjoy the holidays coming up as best as you can because come January which happens to be my birthday month unfortunately we could have an orange monster as our next president even though I will never consider him my president.
