You can be anything
I had a moment today I was looking at my family . Our history and what all of them have accomplished . I’d have to say I’m very proud of some of the things they’ve done . My uncle Paul played baseball professionally . My dad works as a boss at a large factory . My brother had a deal with fabletics and optimum nutrition . My sister in law Aubrey does ultrasounds. My step mom is the secretary to the owner of a large non profit organization . My cousin Brandon plays baseball professionally. Then I stopped and thought . Wow I can literally be anything. If I train hard enough and do enough with due diligence . I can be anything I want in my life. I can be a actor , musician , a nutritionist, literally anything is in our grasp.

Adventures of Ethan and April
We walked outside , it was so quiet and clear . Nothing made a noise the peace overshadowed the clouds with heavy gray in the sky. It was almost time for Ethan’s birthday . And what a amazing day it would be . So close to fall . The leaves changing colors . The smells of falls changing the air. Making it smell more fresh and calming than before. A new vegan latte coming out from Starbucks . I couldn’t wait to try it . A delicious apple crisp latte with oat milk . I imagined me and Ethan drinking them and happily going to universal . It sounded like such a peaceful time . Me , my son , and riding rides for the best day . I pictured eating richters vegan burgers . And thinking of the times we spent there as a whole family.

Me and my son
Morning days when they seem less heavy and burdened. A freedom overwhelms you . Slowly cascading coffee in hand to a equilibrium of health and happiness. A moment you’ve eagerly waited for . To feel like you believe in yourself . To have a moment of peace irrespective of current means . Irrespective of the slow moving pace at which life is taking . A warm light is hitting your forehead . And all things of the past are gone .

Missing our pets
I went to pick up Ethan finally the happiest thing in my day . Everytime I drop him off one of two things happen. I cry or get angry. With that being my best friend . I just always miss his presence. I miss his smile and his laugh . I miss his sassy attitude and the way he has a mole on his ear. His smile brings me joy . His life is the biggest blessing I’ve ever been given . Having him was one defining moment in my faith of god. It was the first time I looked at someone and my soul felt so happy . My estaticism is never low with him . I love him . He is such a big hearted person and I never met someone with as big a heart as he has . The holding from his little fingers. The joy when he says my name . My heart is overwhelming happy to be called his mom .

The suspense
It was a cold summer morning . I knew it would get warmer later . But the moment I woke up it felt like ice on my arms . I was struggling to open my eyes . “Good morning and wake up everyone” Every morning Andrew gleefully woke us all. A very sarcastic humor but its always a good laugh in the mornings. We woke up got Ethan ready for school . “ I want to ride the bus myself .” Ethan groggily complained. “I’m only your mom once Ethan.” I complained, “I’ll miss you .” “I’m walking you to class.” I got my pink coat on . The zipper on it broke but it still had buttons . They always were mildly open, the spaces in between the buttons . I walked him there early . We even waited for a while .” I never expected to be in Illinois . I left here a long time ago . I was living in Florida the home of palm trees and the happiest places in the world . I’ll admit when I was there I had to pinch myself a lot .

Disney upgrades pass system
Disney is a place that people consider the happiest place on earth. While it’s not as fun, or as immersive as universal . I have noticed from recent news online a new pass system has been invoked . The genie plus is a pass system that works similar to universal. You just have to make the decision ahead of time . While it’s not as easy as universals system it is a step forward. I have to say I’m very excited . It’s a company we all love . Universal does have more perks for the park. It is also more creative when bringing things to life . But I’d say with the new lightening lane I’d be more excited about buying the tickets.

New beginnings
So many new experiences and changes have come this year. Life is evolving in good and bad ways. Change on top of change and new on top of new . The pace of life I’m hoping will change to a slower evolvement. With wins and new new viewpoints to join hands in evolving flows of life. One viewpoint versus another force. Tides change but can be at your own pace and in the direction you want . Making things happen in your life is ultimately up to you.excited for life with my son. So happy and ready for me and Ethan’s life to an amazing world . I can’t wait for that me and him experiencing happy and abundantly flourished life .
