#AtoZChallenge Theme Reveal

HEY THERE!!

The last time I blogged anything was back in 2017.
Which seems quite sad when I type it out loud like that.

Life has been so up and down since the last time I blogged; so much has changed:
My cousin, who I also considered a best friend, passed away in August of last year at the young age of 45.
And then a few months later, my grandfather passed away at a nice old age of 92.

Kid #1 moved out into an apartment with his friends and works for videography/photography company, Peace Love Films, and travels the country making advertisements and commercials.
Kid #2 is now looking at apartments and she is spending her spare time traveling to rock out at concerts and works for her aunt at a flower shop.
Kid #3 is emerged in sports. For only being a Sophomore, he is already being looked at by colleges for his golfing skills.
Kid #4 is doing tons of gymnastics performances and even performed for the Harlem Globetrotters which she loved.

And the Hubby and I are still kicking it.
Life is ... well ... life. You just gotta roll with the punches.


So... after all of that, I've decided to get back into the swing of things and thought, Why not do the A to Z Challenge? So I did!

What am I doing? Du du duuuuuuuuuuu

BOOKS & MEDITATION

BOOKS
I choose to do books about every time I have done #AtoZChallenge
I love BOOKS!
I love the covers, the stories and the way they smell.
My books this year are from 2019 publishing and mostly based on the Horror Genre.

MEDITATION
For the past few years I have been making very trivial changes to may daily routines and lifestyle. I’ve started using Young Living Essential Oils for aches and pains, and to make my house smell wonderful. Some of the smells really do make me feel good and change my moods.

As of recently started to incorporate meditation and holistic techniques into my life, so I figured, why not share it.

Unlike this post 😉, my #AtoZChallenge posts will be short and sweet with a quick general post about a book and some quick tips about meditation | yoga | holistic health.

AtoZ Theme Reveal

Sign-ups for the 2015 A to Z Blogging Challenge are already under way. If you have done it before, you know how much fun it is, but if you have not, you should at least try once.

You can sign up to participate during the month of April, here.

When joining AtoZ, have you ever asked yourself, "Should I have a theme?"
Themes are not mandatory or needed if you are a panster, but if you're a plotter... I'd recommend it.

Two years ago, A to Z participant 
Mina Lobo
started the Theme Reveal, and the fore"fathers" of AtoZ thought it was such a great idea to make it a tradition.

The forefatherspeople:

Arlee Bird @ Tossing it Out
Ninja Captain Alex J. Cavanaugh
Jeremy @ Hollywood Nuts
Nicole Ayers @ The Madlab Post
Author Stephen Tremp
Heather M. Gardner
AJ @ Naturally Sweet
Pam @ An Unconventional Librarian

Zalka Csenge Virág @ The Multicolored Diary
S. L. Hennessy @ Pensuasion
C. Lee McKenzie @ The Write Game
Joy Campbell @ The Character Depot
Susan Gourley @ Susan Says
John Holton @ The Sound of One Hand Typing
Lisa Buie-Collard, Author

Are you wanting to reveal your AtoZ theme too? Sign ups are found here.

My theme: 411

What is 4-1-1 you ask? Well the Urban Dictionary says: Another term used for "information". Hence dialing 411 for information.

Example: "I totally just got the 4-1-1 on the new girl."

Soooo, I'm gonna give you the 4-1-1 on:
  • 4 random words/descriptions/tools about myself,
  • 1 blog I adore so much I would like everyone else to follow (it's only 26 new amazing blogs to add to your list if you haven't already),
  • 1, 2015 novel.
  • Which all start with the letter of the day (Or close enough to it)!

Simple right?! Yeah, I thought so too.

That's the key; K-I-S-S - Keep It Simple, Stupid!
(Disclaimer, I'm not calling anyone stupid, it's only a saying.)
