National Matchmaker Day!

It’s March 23rd…and I get a text from a random number with a little dog waving gif…

I remember saying to my phone screen, “heeeey, whoever you are…” and closing the text message. Random texts were a norm…number not saved? Just delete the message and block the number. That was routine. I deviated from the routine…not sure why or how…

I never thought the man behind this cheesy message would become the love of my life because I allowed my Best Friend to play matchmaker. She seems to think she’s good at it…so today I celebrate her lol. Thanks Best Friend for re-introducing me to the love of my life…


Today honor the matchmakers who bring lovers together and share your matchmaker story if you have one! If you have the time or you’ve gone through your list of Netflix movies/shows, watch a matchmaker film such as Hitch, Sleepless in Seattle, Fiddler on the Roof, Clueless, Brimming with Love, or Hello, Dolly!

National Beach Day

Exactly where does beach sand come from??? πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”

If you follow my blog, you know the beach is one of my most favorite places to be!

If you are able bodied and available; GO TO THE BEACH!!! And let me be mindful of those who don’t live close to a beach…I didn’t forget you. You all can also visit a lake, pond or a river. Any body of water. Go out for a swim, sit or lay in the sand and appreciate all that life has to offer. Take pictures, have a picnic or build a sandcastle.

Now relaxing at the beach is always a bonus in my book. But the day isn’t just meant to celebrate the beach. It is also a day to place emphasis on keeping this beautiful area clean. Every day many animals in the ocean are killed by cans, fishing line, oil spills, plastic and other trash. So after relaxing at the beach or before you begin to relax take a moment and clean up any garbage that you may see. Don’t worry about what others may think or say. This isn’t about them. It is all about keeping this peaceful area clean and the animals safe.

Pack a bag, scoop up a friend, grab your earbuds, and go enjoy National Beach Day!!!
