Under Construction

Please excuse the mess! I'm trying to freshen up my blog these days on my very own. (I still have colors to change & a sidebar makeover) I wanted the feel to be fresh & simple. (as simple as I can handle!) If you should have any suggestions, please feel free to leave a comment. I would love to have smaller social media icons that have the shabby vintage feel but had no luck finding any as of earlier today. I need more than just the three... I'm thinking maybe six or seven? I also have been wanting to make the switch to WP for.ever. I keep hearing negative things about it though. If you're a user of WP can you please give me your thoughts?

On a side note, I cannot believe what is happening in Boston today. Many prayers are being said. The numbers keep climbing and that's the scary part. Why do people just want to cause harm to so many? I just don't get it. Yes, politics ... etc, but we're all the same when we wake in the am and go to bed at the end of the day, it's just the decisions we make and what we do w/our time in between. I simply cannot stand it.

Sending many prayers back east.

Good Morning AZ

Well, not so fast. I just have to share this story I came across a few days ago. I didn't have time to post. It's a sad, heartbreaking story about a young woman, Mariana Bridi da Costa. A model from Brazil. She went into the ER on Dec 30, 2008 & this am, she passed away. It just proves again, to me that you cannot trust ER's! It's scary! You trust these people w/your life of your loved ones & a few weeks go by, then they're gone. (this scenario happened to my family w/my oldest sister) Mariana's case was misdiagnosed from the beginning. From what I read though, the same thing happened to another woman. It just snowballs into another problem & gets worse. I don't understand how someone above chooses the this path for us people. It's not fair at all. I know. Life is not fair. Why not punish all the horrible people first? That shoot, kill, steal. You get the picture. You always hear the most heart wrenching stories happen to us normal, want nothing but to do good people. I'll never understand. I do know all things happen for a reason but there's no excuse for something like this.
