D-Xirably Unbalanced!!! (2.16.2021)

Last post and this one is for me. My body is out of whack. Something is very wrong. I can’t figure it out but I can feel it... I need time to think things through. I’ve been doing way too much... Something is very off balanced... I need to do some inner work. I have to figure out what’s off...

Signing off for now... I need to regroup!

With love,

LaTasha B.

D-Xirable Moments!!! (2.13.2021)

 Hello loves,

It was another busy day today but at least I got a nap in. Yay! My back still hurts but I decided to do some stretches to ease the pain a bit. Gotta love some yoga poses!

 I’ve had my niece and little sister over all week so that has been keeping me super busy. And then I had my nephew over a few days this week with my niece. And tonight we will have them both. My niece and nephew are busy bodies and they like their attention so I try to play with them as much as I can. 

Things are definitely not back balanced yet but the nap helped a lot today.

I didn’t even have time to listen to some music today or watch a lot of TV. I did get a walk in today. It’s literally the only moment I get alone. So every day I walked this week was basically the only time I had alone... It’s all good, though. I have faith that things will sort themselves out soon.

A picture I took from my walk

That’s all I have for now. My nephew is calling for his TT!

Also, that voice! Ahhh! I can listen to this person sing all day! 😉

I found the song for today:

Michel’le - Something In My Heart

With love,

D-Xirable Moments!!! (2.12.2021)

 Hello loves,

It has been a rough week... I’m having a hard time keeping up with everything. And I have been having back pain since last Thursday which makes it hard to sleep at night. It sucks because all I want to do is rest but the pain wakes me up... 

Anyways, I got to enjoy a few self-care moments today. Here they are:

Rodgers and Hammerstein’s: Cinderella

I watched “Rodgers and Hammerstein’s: Cinderella on Disney+ today with my little sister. It’s one of my favorite movies!!! I just love it!!! Such a dreamy and romantic movie!!! Two songs stuck out to me - “Sweetest Sounds” and “Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful!” 

‘Am I making believe I see in you

A man too perfect to be really true?

Do I want you because you're wonderful,

Or are you wonderful because I want you?’

It’s Friday!!! That means plant watering day!!! I say it excitingly even though it felt like a chore this week and last week. I had/have so much going on but it had to be done. 

My kalanchoe baby!!!

This is my kalanchoe baby. This is an old picture of her when she first flowered. She has grown a little bit now but she’s in an awkward stage. Still beautiful but she has two stems of flowers poking out from her now.

Fantasia “When I See You”

This is one of the songs that came to my mind today. Fantasia “When I See You”! I love this song. 

‘I lay my head on my pillow

Staring out the window

Wish on a star for a sign

You're the reason why

You're always on my mind’

The other song was Aaliyah “I Care 4 U”. I’ve always been a big fan of Aaliyah!

Hope you enjoyed the post!

And yay for a 3 day weekend! 

Maybe my back will let me sleep long enough on one of the days!

With love,

LaTasha B.

D-Xirable Poem!!! (2.11.2021)

 Hello loves,

If you know me, I write poetry. I write all of the time. I just don’t normally post it. I used to but after I lost my  childhood friend Tabitha, I didn’t have the heart to post them anymore. In fact, the last one you will really see posted on this blog is the one that I wrote for her funeral... I tried to post a couple after that on my poetry blog and Wattpad but I couldn’t...

Writing poetry is a form of self-care for me. 

And I think it’s time I post one... 

I have some stuff to release...

“The Load I Carry”

2.11.2021

The load I carry,

Is actually quite heavy.

I’m trying to be strong —

I’m trying to be rock steady.

I’m tired though,

But I still carry it.

Finding love in it all,

Makes it kind of scary.

Can they help with the load?

Or will it break them too?

I didn’t mean to ignore them—

It’s just a lot I’m going through.

Do I let them in?

Do I let them know?

That I’ve been hurt in the past—

But I’m trying to let it go.

If I were more straightforward 

I’d say it out loud

I have feelings for you 

I like you but I fear being lost in the crowd

I fell in love with the music

But I was trying to get to know ya

I may have hurt you now/shut you out

But I’m trying to show you...

I’ve shown my cards

I’ve dealt my hand

Either you will or you won’t

Understand

I like to laugh and joke

All of the time...

I like, how are you doing

And are you going to be fine?

I like someone direct,

Tell me what you know

I love movies too —

And what’s your favorite show?

I’m really simple

But my moods are complex

I guess you know now

The question is, what happens next?

“Heavy Load”

Hope you enjoy the poem!

With love,

LaTasha B.

D-Xirable Moments!!! (2.8.2021)

Hello loves,

I honestly haven’t had much time for self-care this past week. I’ve just been super busy taking care of family stuff at the moment.... There’s just so much going on right now...

However, I did manage to get out for a walk today for a moment of self-care. It was so cold outside but it had to be done.

A pic of the sidewalk.
It reminded of “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” by Green Day for some reason...

A tree!

I honestly, don’t know when I’ll get to post more self-care moments. Things are so busy and there’s still so much to do this week...

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the short post!!!

With love,

LaTasha B.
