I spend my Friday nights at home. Shocking I know, I also know what one might think “that’s insane, you’re young go out and have fun”! Yes that might sound appealing to many out there but it’s not appealing to me. From Friday sundown to Saturday sundown I rest. Yes just like the Jewish nation of the Old Testament. I am not Jewish I am Christian but I keep the Sabbath. For me it is a way to unplug from the chaos, the outside world and spend time with The Creator. I don’t watch tv, go on the computer, I don’t go reading any articles online, I don’t even touch my phone, wait that’s a lie I listen to music through the phone so yeah I touch my 📱 phone but that’s it. I read the Bible, different books, listen to gospel music 🎶 soft classical music 🎶 and I just unplug! I am not perfect, I am sinner and I don’t even try and pretend to be “good”. I am a girl just trying to survive in a world, a society that tells her to conform or else. So my words today are take time to unplug. Spend 24hrs no tv, no phone, no computer, no restaurant, no going out to hang with friends at a bar, just unplug. Take time out that is why God made the Sabbath not only to show He was The Creator (one of the main reasons) but also for man. He knew what man was capable of. Work, work, work, play, play, play but what about rest? Take that time out each week to unplug and you will see soon, how happier you are for it.

Hallmark Movies…
I happen to have this huge obsession with Hallmark movies. I know it is crazy but I can’t help it. I love the Christmas season movies which are just too cute. The movies after Christmas heading to Valentine’s Day. Love in April and their Summer weddings. Each season new movie new story. The movies are all about a girl and boy, love at first sight, second chance romances, friends who fall in love and in the end they are happy. It is like reading a romance novel, no not the ones with all the graphic sex scenes, I do love those too. 😊 But the movies in Hallmark are like romance novels where the reader is swept away in the whole “falling in love” of two characters and waiting for them to end in a HEA. Some of the books I read are sexy romance novels, some have graphic steamy sex scenes but no real story, some stories are about the complexity of relationships, others are just about a story of a boy and girl falling in love. Like any other reader, I love all kinds of books. Though I really don’t like science fiction at all. My favorites are books that are just about relationships, it could be a book about family, falling in love, or just the dynamic of different relationships within each and every situation. Other books like the Fifty Shades series, I must admit I did enjoy. I love Pepper Winters’ writings, her indebted series is my favorite, it is dark but I love how the characters fought against this archaic way of thinking. She is an absolutely awesome writer. I love books that have complex characters that are just so unpredictable you are sucked into each page, waiting for each moment to unfold. Even though in the end the characters will have a HEA, which is the whole point of the Romance Novels. Which brings me back to my obsession with the movies on Hallmark. To others they may be corny, they may seem stupid, some may even find them dumb but I would have to disagree. I find the movies clean, fun to watch, the guys are always so handsome and the stories are cute. So whether it might be corny or not, I love my corny Hallmark Movies… and I will own that shit because in the end they make me feel happy. Just like after reading a book with a characters journey to find their love and peace it puts a smile across my face. 😊 With a world full of chaos and darkness it is nice to watch a movie that will make you smile and make you feel good. I dare you to try watching some of them, you might just like it:)
Just some friendly advice:)
