Hello Everyone..
I'm back to my blog. I wasn't sure I wanted to write anymore only because I am just not great at writing. But after much consideration, yes I have decided to continue writing.
So lets see what has been happening in my life lately. Not a lot to be honest. My dad decided to give up driving and sold his car. He just gets too tired from the former blood clots. So we are down to one car now. I do most of the shopping. My dad still will drive himself to the doctor, but that's about it.
Also, I am officially registered for school again. I have not been in school for while. And I am excited to get back to it. I also broke down and applied for Financial Aid. I do not know how much aid I will get. But I registered anyway.
Still have not found part time work. Its so frustrating. But I am still hopeful. I am probably going to be giving up my painting. I have not been very profitable. I have sold a few pieces. But nothing since about a month ago. I sold some Christmas ornaments. It is what it is. Don't get me wrong I love it and I am very good at it. But that's not going to sell paintings.
I am doing a vlog on YouTube for Live Your Life Like Its Chocolate now. Its just about my life and trying to live a positive life. That is how I want my life to be--happy and positive. No negativity for this gal anymore. It only brings you down.
Ive been too much living in fear of my own shadow and fear of offending people, fear of disappointing people and not living my own life for me. That stops NOW!! And I am done with fake friends and non existent friends. Friendship is a two way street with me. If you cant meet me half way, then it is time for me to go. I don't do one sided friendships, never have never will.
As I said on Facebook the other day. I am doing to live my life for ME and if no one likes, well do damn bad.
The reason I started this blog in the first place was to live a good life, a happy life and be more positive. I haven't been doing much of that in the past and its time for a change.
Thanks for reading..
Until next time..

Hello Friends,
I know its been awhile since I have written. To be honest, I wasn't sure I could continue to write my blog. I didn't think I had the writing ability that would make people want to view it and enjoy it. But here I sit, back at it.
Lets see what has happened since I last wrote to you. My Spinal Stenosis has gotten worse. Do you know I fell a few days ago. My foot just gave out and down I went. I am grateful I didn't hurt myself. Just a bruise on my leg and a sore arm. I have been unsteady on my feet a few times, but nothing to make me fall. Its a scary feeling knowing that you might fall at any given moment.
I have started back to my walking. I am only walking for a few short minutes right now. But I am hoping to get back to walking, at least 20-30 minutes 5-6 days a week. I need it. Walking is good for the soul.
I am walking for my health, to lose weight and to help me when I go back to school in January. I need to be able to walk at least 15 minutes to my class from wherever I park. Right now, I cant do that and I get out of breath and I sweat terribly.
I have also started my weight loss journey again. I have got to lose this weight. I cant stand it anymore. I don't feel healthy and I don't feel good about myself. And if I don't feel good about myself, how is anyone else going to feel good about me.
I am excited for school. I will register in November. This is the first time in a long time that I am looking forward to another semester. I am excited more so, because I know I want to achieve my goal of graduating college. And I am determined to finish. Its been my dream for a long time. I will tell you a story about why I am so excited in my next blog. Its kind of long here.
I am in love with my painting I am doing. I am not selling so much. But that's OK. Maybe one day it will take off. I have a YouTube channel for it.."Libby's Pouring Art'. Go check it out. (FYI, the name may change. When it does I will let you all know in my blog). Ive also created another YouTube channel for my school and weight loss journey. Its called Estelle's Excellent Adventures. I'm not sure of the name, what do you all think?? It hasn't launched yet. I will let you know when it does.
I am excited for this new journey in my life. I have a couple of good friends. I have the air in my lungs. I am grateful to God for giving me another day to create a wonderful and happy life for myself. Its time...
See you next time friends.
Remember to Live Your Your Life Like Its Chocolate..

Happy Thursday..
I know its already the evening time. But I wanted to get on here and write a little something for today.
I went and sold some gold jewelry today. I got $481.00. Next week I start selling off some of my moms antiques. I will keep a few things. I don't want to have to do it. But it is necessary. My dad wants to move out of our house. I don't really. But I have no choice, I have no money right now and I don't want him to be alone with his health issues.
With this money I got today, I can register for an online Excel class. I don't know this particular program very well. And it hinders my job search, not having updated computer and application skills.
I want to go get some paint supplies and start my art. I will do that this weekend. Start small. I cant wait to create something.
That's it for today. Until next time.
Remember live your life like its chocolate..
