Happy Birthday Norma Jean - A.K.A. Marilyn Monroe

So much more than a sex symbol, however few will look further than that. Her name was Norma Jean, and she was a deeply caring soul that longed for love, for acceptance in a world that "will pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, but 50 cents for your soul".

“ Too often they don't realize what they have until it's gone.
...they're too stubborn to say, 'Sorry, I was wrong'...
they hurt the ones closest to their hearts,
and we let the most foolish things tear us apart. ”

Happy Birthday Norma Jean...a.k.a. Marilyn Monroe ~

Promise Yourself Quote - Save, Print, Post On Your Refrigerator And Read Everyday ~

  Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
   To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.    To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.
To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
~ Christian D. Larson

One Of The Most Amazing, Beautiful, Toxic, Creepy & Abandoned Places On Earth: The Salton Sea

Many times, we take things for granted in our lives, or we do not appreciate the beauty surrounding us, because we see it all the time. We get used to it; assume everyone knows of it. 

Example #1: I was telling Mr. Joe (Mr. Joe is my significant other) about the Salton Sea, which he knew nothing of. This seemed baffling to me, since not only do I know about it, but for 10 years I had a job as an inspector of vacant houses located all over Southern California, from Bakersfield to Blythe, and on my monthly trips to the low desert, I would plan my days with extra time to explore this amazing, beautiful, intriguing, yet eerie, abandoned, toxic, and creepy place. I love it. 

 

I have been there dozens and dozens of times. Never would I see any people....just evidence of them. If you ever are in the low desert of the 111 in the Imperial Valley....check it out. It's def a bucket list entry. 

 

 

This video is the best little 6 minute overview of it - it covers from how it was created, the past history all the way to the present state it's in today.
