<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's taken me much time to pen down my SDA recent and past experiences... This is not to question SDA as a whole but only to share what my experiences have been thus far with some church leaders and goers. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This past winter, my mom renewed her vows in a beautiful ceremony. I was overcome with love and faithfulness that my mother and father have had for each other throughout their marriage. I'm certain like every couple they have had to overcome challenges and differences as all couples should. But they have always remained faithful and committed to each other and our family. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My mom is a pillar of strength and smarts. She is by far the smartest woman- next to my grandmother that I have ever met. She is powerful, intelligent and dedicated. She is a spitfire and makes things happen! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My dad is a gentle soul. He works hard at his faith. He has never had an unkind word against anyone ( I wish I possessed his spirit and forgiveness). I pray for God to give me the power of forgiveness and vulnerability. Still hasn't happened. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If it were just for my parents, I would be the best SDA there is, but unfortunately my exposure to the SDA ways has been far more indepth then just their witnessing. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Getting down to my experience. In the last 10 years I have struggled with the SDA church and their opinions and behavior of "outsiders" . As I my heart starts to soften and the desire to visit the church creeps in.. there's a <span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 38px;">stumbling block. That stumbling block comes in the shape of a church goer of church leader. Boo to them! and me for being influenced, right? </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 38px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 38px;">1- At my mothers vow ceremony we were in an office getting dressed, touching up makeup and getting ready. My dress was high up to my waist as I was pulling up my Spanx. Yep, I wear that ;) Someone knocked on the door and flew it open. It was her pastor. I quickly lowered my skirt and asked the stranger to leave the room. His response; oh, you have nothing I haven't seen before... I couldn't believe a grown ass man would ever say this to a woman and proceed to remain in the room as we proceeded to lower our skirts or cover our cleavage. My response; you haven't seen mine. GET OUT! Then he laughed and walked out. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 38px;">For those that know me- you know I don't mince my words. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 38px;">I was furious. I mean furious! My body is not an amusement park. I am not comfortable with "showing my goods". A HOLE!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 38px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 38px;">Not only did he show up almost 30 mins late to a ceremony that he was to direct, but then this... lack of integrity I tell you. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 38px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 38px;">The ceremony came to it's conclusion and not once did this "gentleman" church leader -pastor approach me to apologize. It's as thou he had to right to barge in to the room uninvited and look at my goods. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 38px;">I will never visit his church! EVER!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 38px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 38px;">2- I was hitting up garage sales with my mom and aunt. We ran into Menorca. Another awesome church leader from the Hispanic Maranatha Church. She is so great! NOT! </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 38px;">She was with her sister whatever her name is... They locked arms murmured something underneath their breathes, rolled their eyes at me and walked away (whispering in each others ears the entire time).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 38px;">I don't think there is anything wrong in walking away from someone you have no investment in but what I thought was phenomenal, was this church leader "pastor" murmuring and rolling of the eyes at someone she doesn't even know. Really, lady? </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 38px;">Who the hell are you to pass judgement on me? Am I the one that married my cousins husband? Has children with a criminal history? or married and man that committed crimes against the church? I think not! -Yes, I'm judging her as she witnessed for Satan that day. I will treat her like Satan. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 38px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 38px;">I am disgusted with these individuals that stand in front of their congregation and speak of the Lords love and forgiveness and yet are such hypocritical witnesses and filled with in-humanness, forget Godliness. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 38px;">I don't fully blame their shortcomings, I blame the church members and committee for electing such deplorable people to represent them and lead them to God. Don't they know they are being had? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 38px;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.015625px;">These people "church Leaders" don't have an iota of leadership skills and godly disposition to lead me or anyone else to do Gods will. In my experiences they have demonstrated to be lack the power to inspired or motivate others to want to be a part of their "club". </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.015625px;"><br /></span></span></span>

Leadership is a <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">process</em>:</u><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Leaders must act and set events in motion. <i>Just holding a position of authority does not make you a leader.</i></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 8px 4px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">3. Leadership is <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">persuasion</em>:</u><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Leaders induce or persuade followers to take action. Leaders influence followers by inspiring their trust, acting consistently, and motivating them by words and deeds. Examples of the tools of leadership are: legitimate authority, setting an example, setting goals, team-building, and communicating a vision.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 8px 4px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">4. Leadership is <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">purpose-driven</em>:</u><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Leaders act in order that the organisation achieves its <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">mission</em>.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 8px 4px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">According to this model, church leadership may be defined as “the process of activating church workers (members, volunteers, employees) for the mission of the Church”.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 8px 4px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This leadership has a fundamental spiritual dimension. Every area includes cooperation with God and following God. Leaders count on God to change people in order to achieve God’s purpose. This happens by the leader’s and his followers’ faith and by the power of the Holy Spirit working in them. Because of that, we say that our work as leaders is “God’s work”.</span></div>

<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 8px 4px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1. Church leadership is about <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">relations</em>:</u><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Leaders achieve the mission of the church by inspiring, elevating and leading the people in their organisation, so that they do their assigned work exceptionally well and with joy. This requires an <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">organisation</em>, where it is clear to everybody what their role is – an organisation which is dynamic, flexible and effective enough to accomplish the mission. It also requires a <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">culture</em>, where Seventh-day Adventist values and particularly the value of mission set the tone. Adventist leaders, therefore, need to be <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">effective organisers, peacemakers,</em> and <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">builders of Adventist church culture</em>.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 8px 4px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">2. Church leadership is a <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">process</em>:</u><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Leaders take action and something happens. They change people and the organisation through their actions. Leadership is not static but dynamic. It strives for excellence and constantly asks if there is a better way to do what we do, in order to achieve the mission. God is active in this process. It is therefore an Adventist tenet that “we must walk in the increasing light”.4 This requires that we see ourselves as leaders functioning as agents of <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">change</em>, God’s change.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 8px 4px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">3. Church leadership is <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">persuasion</em>:</u><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Leaders persuade or induce their followers to act, by various means, for example, by their legitimate authority, by how they manage relationships and conflicts, by the example they set, by goal-setting, encouragement and evaluation, re-organisation, team-building, and by communicating a vision. In all of these activities, the leader draws on his personal faith and draws on his biblical values. This requires skills in transparent communication, ability to inspire others, and being a team leader.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 8px 4px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">4. Church leadership aims at the <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">mission of the Church</em>:</u><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Leaders need to define what this mission is and what it means to themselves and the organisation they lead.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 8px 4px 0px 12px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The way God has defined the church’s mission is essential. We find that He has allowed variety in the wording of our mission. Various biblical authors at various times say it in various ways. Jesus taught his disciples a mission to the world which we have in at least four versions, in Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-18, Luke 24:45-49/Acts 1:8, and John 14-17. Luke then describes the fellowship of the first church in Acts 2:42-47. The mission of the church comes out in numerous instructions on church order in Paul’s writings. And it has a special significance for Adventists in John’s apocalyptic vision in Revelation 14:6-13, where we have found our eschatological mission defined.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In conclusion; I'm not saying you must be perfect to lead a flock. But you must be a leader! Inspire faith and trust, lack judgement of others and most of all motivate others to follow in your example. Not only be standing in front of the church and leading them in songs and preaching the latest crap you concocted, but witness with your actions and words. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">PS: I'm only sharing my latest experiences with you. I have not highlighted every event that has transpired with this church, but here's a few more that solidified my distaste for the Hispanic SDA Church that I once called home. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My high school sweetheart and I were divorcing and I had lost a tremendous amount of weight. I was destroyed and beaten by the whole experience. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was at church one Sabbath and I had a lady -Wander Frias ask me why I was so skinny and what drugs I was taking? Bitch! I have never once experimented or have wanted to dabble in drugs. Just because you don't see me sitting in your church every Sabbath doesn't mean I lead a life of drugs and sex. Don't worry about me and worry about your retarded daughter and your birth control so you leave no evidence of your dick hopping. Yep, I said it! BOOM!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I had a lady Rosita ask me what I had done to my husband for him to divorce me? Seriously!? Don't worry about me and worry about your daughters that go shopping on Sabbath (nice running into them). Yep, I said that too! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first time I was called a nigger was at the hands of an SDA student at the Grand Rapids Adventist Academy. There was never a consequence for that student. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They can take their church and eat it! I will never ever attend their Church filled with sick demented souls.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, there you have it. My experience with the Maranatha Hispanic SDA Church. This church has made me sad and has left me broken. I once loved the SDA community now; to ever have known them, given tithe to them and further more have any affiliation with them depletes my faith. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey ya'll! it's been a while... </span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I've been on a journey. Physically, emotional and financially. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">What a great ride! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I'm enjoying every second of it. It's rewarding and empowering when your hard work starts to pay off. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Physically; I'm on day 37 and I've lost 18lbs. I love my journey to transforming my body. I joined a Boot Camp and have taken up Cross Fit and walk/run (3 miles at 5:45am) hopefully, it'll turn into straight runs by end of July. My legs are killer. My arms are cutting thru. I've lost 6 inches around the waist. Damn, that is sexy! =D</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've cut ALL sugars, flour, wheat, pasta, potatoes and such. The first 2 weeks were tough. Then I plateau. Now my metabolism is on overdrive. My body is rewarding me.</span><br />

NOT BEING SKINNY. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I enjoy my boobs and booty. I'm working really hard at not losing them, but improving them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Here's my inspiration</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Its extreme (I'm an extremist), but going HARD works for me. Find what works for you and do not allow distractions!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I no longer accept others problems. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Although, I feel bad for peoples plights. I choose ME!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">My friends were struggling with this, but they are very kind and respectful of my boundaries. I love them for that. They have supported me by respecting me focus. It's my journey and I need SILENCE!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">The absence of other people’s problems has helped my relationships greatly. There is more room for emotional intimacy and I'm slowly becoming more emotionally intelligent. </span><br />

Here's what's on our Christmas list this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nelson is getting expensive. I mean he has turned out to be a very very expensive 13 year old. So, this year he gets 2 big items and books. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jacob at 7 is a bit easier to impress. He's so simple. Anything that involves sound, moving, throwing or kicking is aokay by him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gotta love them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One more day of shopping ( Black Friday) and it's a wrap! =D<img src="http://i.walmartimages.com/i/p/00/84/52/26/00/0084522600507_500X500.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This will be the big purchase of the year. New living room TV. Can't wait to play some 360 on this bad boy =D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="245" src="http://s3.cdn.gearburn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Blackberry-Playbook.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since Nelson loves my playbook so much, he gets his own. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nelson and I each will be sporting new head wear! Whoooeee</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, for my baby Jacob. He posed a challenge for me.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But here we goes.</div>

Still thinking on this one. Not sure Jacob will be able to control his fearless nature on his thing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This weekend I'll be hitting the book stores and loading up on books, puzzles and stocking suffers. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
As a beginer; I love the easy of Hostas (Hostaceae). They rapidly grow and for a low price are welcoming and enviting. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
Besides being easy to care for they are long living and relatively disease free. I'm in!! </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<img height="300px" src="http://www.permatill.com/uploads/Gboro%20hosta%20garden.jpg" width="400px" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
Hostas are perennials and I grow primarily for their beautiful foliage. I feed them once a month and water them ever other night. I've taken to them so well that I've researched the heck out of them. How many different types are there? How tall will they grow? Feeding needs? I'm your typical read it all!</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
Did you know there are as many as 45 different hostas? </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
They originated in Northeastern Asia and they were first introduced to Europe in the late 1700's and then came to the United States in the middle 1800's.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
They reach their maturity in 4 - 5 yrs. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
Although, Hostas are considered shade-tolerant plants, even if most do not thrive if grown in deep shade. Hostas prefer an exposure with morning sun and afternoon shade. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A minimum of 1 inch of water a week will contribute to their health. I've read in many plances that they prefer 1 inch of water a day. I water mine every evening on really hot days and normally every other day. The plant will let you know when it needs water. Look out for wilted leaves, burnt leaves and dropping leaves. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hostas are edible but I wouldn't want a Hostas salad although, in Japan they are consumed everyday. They were once called Lily's and Funkia.<em> </em></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
There is even a America Hostas Society. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">

Help keep your plants free of bugs and animal bites. That's rabbits, squirells and such. They can be brutal on these pretty plants. Do your research!</div>

I love the hostas by the fence. This is exactly what I'm working towards, but the owner above does not like them. Think She'd let me have them? =D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, what do you like or not like about Hostas? </div>

We are a tight family and his relocation to <span style="font-size: large;">Boston</span> has proved straining on us all. My mother and my boys have shown more sadness then myself and my dad. We are the "suffering on the inside" kind of folks. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, this afternoon my mom called me to share with me how she missed my brother, how he must be skinny from not eating a proper meal and that he needs help with finding a new house and settling in. The moment I rolled my eyes I knew that ALL mothers have the same worries and thoughts plaguing them while their kids are away from them. I felt like a total jerk. </div>

What ever the heck that means. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's a great read over at <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/decorating-basics/transitional-style-101/index.html" target="_blank">HGTV</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I always thought of my self as Suburban or Eclectic. But as I read on; I found that I much dislike clutter but with two growing boys, can't seem to get from under it. I dislike bold colors; they are too loud and at times obnoxious. I prefer browns, tans, sages, creams and lots of textures. Metal; shiny or dull. Different wood grains all in a room appeal to my eye if they stay cohesive. But I must, must have white somewhere or it just doesn't seem to come together for ME. Oh and I rather have a plain wall rather then an over accesorized wall with 'Stuff' all together the wall or on every wall. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYwISWnj_Pn4Rk2dkD-D2931dAOk_gVOgnDIsFGKjOookQJVk06cJCA6caRh21mhrg5ufKUK-u6a0fEypwsmEnCRiNiD9mtKBlXhjgjQ39u_Q68JXectDWqqn9ZWB-WNezU6RFfBHTUdw/s1600/transitional_2_11131420_std.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img aea="true" border="0" height="212px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYwISWnj_Pn4Rk2dkD-D2931dAOk_gVOgnDIsFGKjOookQJVk06cJCA6caRh21mhrg5ufKUK-u6a0fEypwsmEnCRiNiD9mtKBlXhjgjQ39u_Q68JXectDWqqn9ZWB-WNezU6RFfBHTUdw/s320/transitional_2_11131420_std.jpg" width="320px" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had a old friend that called my style "boring". But her house is a style disaster. Every room has a different theme. Every accessory is a different color. Seriously! Her kitchen had red accessories, black and whites diamonds floor tiles and green cupboards. Her staircase has a school bus yellow sun mural about 5x8 covering the entire wall. Listen, I never took her criticism seriously since, holy cow her house is a total "What not to do" or "WTF?". </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Boring is not a word that I would use to describe Transitional. I think it's interesting, eclectic, soothing, textured and minimalistic. I would call it more "inviting". </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Notice the light blue, light yellow and the wood? how relaxing and inviting is that? I picture the kids on the floor in front of the fireplace playing UNO or Monopoly. I could not live w/ out my fireplace in the basement. What will I do when I move? possibly buy an electrical unit. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I can't believe that I found this mirror at a garage sale during my lunch time on yesterday for $10 while the price on it says $169.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have plenty of paint left over from many other projects. So, the goal is to not spend more then $40 on flowers so get started.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

My brother is moving out of state and my heart is aching, seriously aching.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh03eOyl_h4EvwSz5wkyXSgFmqgBpz123wRP2vOZjmfVy1juCTrdSW_Ik_FC4ZdFDhdJjYrA0AwoC0g6a3eS5grSSp-BXuPpjxGTnTzs4uYRxz_Pnd84vjm1UEvax5pOEMXDApfPGjwdYs/s1600/family2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh03eOyl_h4EvwSz5wkyXSgFmqgBpz123wRP2vOZjmfVy1juCTrdSW_Ik_FC4ZdFDhdJjYrA0AwoC0g6a3eS5grSSp-BXuPpjxGTnTzs4uYRxz_Pnd84vjm1UEvax5pOEMXDApfPGjwdYs/s1600/family2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've often heard of sibling rivalry, but I can honestly say that I have never felt that. I have always admired and wished/hoped to be as strong, intelligent and independent as my brother. There being only two of us as siblings and losing my father to cancer at the age of 10, I've always looked up to him for protection and guidance. I realize today that that might have been a burden for him as he was growing into his manhood and probably still deals with it today. He is the male figure that replaced my fathers at a very early age for quite sometime. So, in short Nelson got shafted.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've always been very close to him despite being in different boarding schools 100's of miles apart during our adolescent years. But I can tell you; no one has ever replaced or come close to loving him as I love him. He knows me the best. He knows what makes me sad, anxious, nervous, scared and happy. Seldom do we ever have a person in our life that can tune in to our feelings and my blessing is that it's my brother. The person I will have the longest relationship with. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I can recall when I was 6 or 7 yrs old and our father was in NYC receiving cancer treatment at <span style="color: black;">The Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan while we were in Santo Domingo for a week w/ my aunt Atala. We were scheduled to fly out to NYC and stay with our grandmother Mama while my mother tended to dad in the city. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH29HL4kmo5U5pcIcBLpGOsDWA6hlQuWQukUD2DWyqMG43fgxS00sPJj36cHVyRkqhS3yLNFEEJ77Jbg5dTR9rBEQW8ACe0ANsvGeGdf9_-13ZYOeyoAU5f5k2w7Gr9UjbnjOTWJu1OC0/s1600/family3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH29HL4kmo5U5pcIcBLpGOsDWA6hlQuWQukUD2DWyqMG43fgxS00sPJj36cHVyRkqhS3yLNFEEJ77Jbg5dTR9rBEQW8ACe0ANsvGeGdf9_-13ZYOeyoAU5f5k2w7Gr9UjbnjOTWJu1OC0/s1600/family3.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, we prepared for our 1600 mile flight across the three seas. Nelson helped me pack and made sure all my dolls and sneakers were packed away. We checked in at the airport. I was half his size and very much the curious type in short I was very spirited. I'm certain, I must of been a challenge for him to control but like most things Nelsons does, he managed effortlessly. He held on to my hand and walked me through the crowd on to the plane, surrendered his window seat to me which I love till this day. He made sure I was buckled in, had a teeny white pillow and a fresh blanket. I remember my nose being plastered to the window of the plane watching everything that happen outside. Nelson read the "in case of emergency landing" pamphlets and went over them with me. Then he tentatively listened to the flight attendant go over the procedures and oxygen mask application instructions. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">WOW! I was so excited to be flying home to see my papi and mami, I kept squirming in my seat. Shortly after the flight took off Nelson took me to the bathroom and waited patiently outside. I don't recall whether he ever used the bathroom. I suspect he didn't want to take his eyes off of me. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">That was the first time I realized that my brother was my protector and that I could with out a doubt count on him. And Nelson has never let me down.

Work continues to take over my life. So much so, that I've even hired a cleaning lady. She will do the regular dusting, vaccuming, moping and thank God LAUNDRY!!! =D <br />
<br />
Anyways; remember my <a href="http://bargaincornerdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/08/new-white-dreamy-ikea-bed.html" target="_blank">Ikea headboard</a>? It's cute but now I'm bored w/ it. So, I thought I would try this... Reveal coming tomorrow. See how I continue to get inspired by you!<br />

This work and family things is cramping my steelo AGH! But I took advantage of one day during the Thanksgiving break to bring some happiness into my kitchen as my 12 yr. Nelson would say. <br />
<br />

I really do like the BROWN but I kept thinking it just wasn't bright or inspiring enough. I wanted something a bit unexpected... So, I used the same paint I used on <a href="http://bargaincornerdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/02/gone-teal.html">THIS</a> cedar chest that I sold on CL. It's Seqouia from @Valspar to brighten it up. Loved when Nelson came upstairs and said "mom this is a happy color. I love it!" Aww, makes my effort to change things so worth it. <br />

I added the white mirror and put the original -too big for the space- rug under the table. But I apsolutly love how it turned out... <br />

I've managed to do a bit of shopping. Well, really window shopping. <br />
<br />
This little store we found in Battle Creek, Mi. You wouldn't believe the jems he had sitting around. They were over priced for what I'm used to paying or like to pay, but hey! he's in it for the bottom line. I'm in it to create and feed my addiction to re-purposing. <br />
<br />
This dresser was priced above $600. *moving on*<br />
<br />
Hutch $1500<br />
<br />
Crosby radio sporting missing knobs, missing back, water damaged covered by the junk on top $150 <br />
<br />
None working Radio with missing backing $350 <br />
<br />
Broken lunch box with replaced handled $10 the painted one on the back $25<br />
<br />
Look at the sea of vintage furniture. Gosh I sure hope this place doesn't catch on fire or flood because although he is over priced... some of his pieces are beautiful. <br />
