Deanna's World

Hey everyone first lets start off by taking a moment to remember those who have recently passed away and ask God to send the family and friends strength, love and peace. Thank you all very much for checking out my blog! Today's post is to give a huge shout out to my beautiful niece Asia and my sweet sister in law Jennifer today (meaning December 11thmeven though I am posting this after midnight, my sincere apologies)  is both of their birthdays!!!  To my dear niece Asia, I truly pray for nothing but love and blessings to come your way, you will never know just how much you mean to me! I love you, you have so much potential never sell yourself short. Life will give you what you put into it, you are young and and smart and blessed with beauty inside and out. Remember that you can do anything you set your heart and mind to with hard work, dedication and determination. I am very lucky to have you in my family and hope we can start seeing more of eachother, you all mean so much to ...

Hello everyone, first lets take a moment to reflect on those who have recently passed away... May God bless your family and friends with peace, love and strength. Thank you so very much for joining me on my blog tonight. I just want to share a challenge... I have always loved to cook, mostly Italian and Puerto Rican food (considering those are my nationalities) but the last few years I have really tried to expand my kitchen. I've tried different foods with pretty great success! Nothing has been too scary for me to try and whip up, maybe not all have been the greatest but hey, always fun trying lol. I recently discovered the joys of baking, and let me just say there is NOTHING like made from scratch baked goods or foods. I have made the following items so far from scratch....  Biscotti, pie crust for pumpkin and apple pie, pizza dough, PASTA noodles(which are like ribbons of silk when made at home, soooooo very much better than store bought) coffee cake, banana nut muffins, rice pud...

Hey everyone, first I'd like to take a moment and reflect love and blessings to those who have passed away recently, to your friends and family God Bless you with strength, peace and love. Thank you all for joining me on my blog, this post is technically for yesterday but I've been cooking and baking and just really enjoying family today. This is why my post is at 2am lol.  I'd like to try and bring us all closer tonight, bring your hearts into a thought that is near and dear to my own heart... I always try to bring everything back to what really matters in my life and that is FAMILY. Now family has come to have a bigger and deeper definition in my life. I have family which is blood and we are close, super tight and even the ones who live a little too far, they are still my family. Their distance makes their importance in my life more relevant. It's funny (not literally) how when you have family close we can tend to take that for granted. But one thing my hubby always l...

Hey everyone! First lets take a moment to pay our respects to those who have passed away recently, may God keep you, and bless your loved ones with strength, love and peace. (A Special RIP today to  Nelson Mandela). Thank you al so very much for reading my blog! Since I haven't received any special requests yet for topics I will talk today about inspiration and love. There's many things in life that can inspire something in each of us. For me personally I think a huge inspiration is words...song lyrics...poetry. I just find something so powerful in what you can say and how things can be put in such a way that can literally be said in different ways to persuade a reaction. Take that age old adage "you can get more with honey than with vinegar"... My cousin Pauline is one person that I always remember saying this lol. But truth be told is is exactly right. You can say the harshest of things but if your words are not malicious I think that it makes all of the difference....

Hello friends, first lets take a moment to say God bless the sweet souls of ones we have lost recently.....  Thank you for taking the time to read my blog, I know it's been a while but I am once again able to be a stay at home mom and I have more time to update everyone on my day to day! I want to leave my mark somehow on this world and writing is one of my deepest passions. I feel with my entire being and it is easy to transform my own emotions as well as other peoples emotions into my writing, especially poetry. Well I guess for me most of my writing has always been poetry lol. I am doing so many things lately to try and find what will bring joy and happiness to my life and the lives of those around me and so far I've found that my cooking/baking, church and writing has been a hit. So with that being said here I am and I pray you will all take my journey with me and let me inspire you they way you inspire me.  I want to hear ideas from you all on what type of things you'd...

Hey everyone and thank you for joining me tonight. I first would like to send love and blessings to those who have lost loved ones! God bless! I know it has been a while since my last post, I was really busy trying to do a million and one things but a lot of my plans have changed so my focus needs to be prioritized! I loved blogging daily and sharing my thoughts on topics so here's to my passion again :-) I have recently learned a lot about myself and how I have really grown within these past few months. I am learning to give myself advice in my blogs and to actually listen to it myself! I feel as though this life is so short and I have to make it my business not to let daily frustrations and minuscule arguments control my "time"!! I apologize A LOT, and though at times it may not be my fault and the other person should really apologize or make things right I make it my business to make amends. Especially when it comes to family we really need to show our children th...
