An Early Happy 4th of July and Update on This Blog
Hi everyone! It’s been a few weeks since I published on this blog and my second blog. (The Estella Initiative) I needed time off blogging due to major burn out and to focus on my health and my relative’s health. Things are fine with my relative, but my allergies have been a major problem for me. Taking time off blogging has allowed me to spend my free time on figuring out what is going on with my health instead of constantly working on new blogs posts. Since I’ve been gone, I wanted to write posts on my two blogs about where I’ve been and what my plans are for the…

Why I’m Not Probably Not Going to the Renaissance Festival This Year
Hi everyone! It’s that time of the year when I used to go to the Arizona Renaissance Festival. I used to really enjoy going and would have a fun time eating, watching the shows, and photographing what I saw there. During these years, things changed in my life and I began to favor other priorities. Some of them include my health, work, taking care of my relatives, and more. I already was prioritizing them, but I was still able to attend the fair at the same time. I was also able to attend pop culture conventions as well. Ever since 2016, things in my life have really began to shift.…

Some Thoughts About JoAnn Stores Closing For Good
Hi everyone! I know it’s been a while since I published a post on this blog, but unfortunately I haven’t felt up to writing. I keep going back and forth about what to write and if I should talk about certain things online. Right now I feel like I have more things to talk about on this blog than on my other lifestyle focused blog. Since it’s been a while since I posted, I decided to start by talking about my thoughts about JoAnn stores closing for good.

Taking a Hobby Break (Sewing, Knitting, Ect.)
Hi everyone! Well, it’s official. I am taking a sewing, knitting, and hobby that requires heavy use of my right hand break. I decided to do this because I have begun to struggle with stiffness in my right thumb. I have had problems with this since I was a teenager and, even though it’s not carpal tunnel syndrome, I have struggled with this for many years. Last week, while working on my pink and green quilt, I began to feel the stiffness return. I took three days off sewing, which helped a lot, but the moment I returned to sewing, the stiffness returned again. Since I’ve dealt with this before,…

Why I’m Not Posting New Arizona Desert Photographs
Hi everyone! After a lot of thought, I decided to talk about my photography and why I haven’t posted many photographs of my favorite desert scenery. I already mentioned earlier this year that my favorite photography spots in Arizona are disappearing. This is due to new housing being built in the area. I don’t want to take photographs of people’s homes and back yards, so I can’t take many photographs of the area anymore. The building in the area slowed down, buying me time to take more photographs of the area. I did, but I don’t feel like posting them online anymore. Every time I see them, it only reminds…

I’m Changing My Blogging Pen Name Name… and Why I Decided to Do It
This post has been copied from Essie of Who to a post made on The Estella Initiative. The Estella Initiative is the “sister” blog of Essie of Who and focuses on beauty and lifestyle oriented content not talked about here. I changed certain details in order to make sure it will be consistent with The Estella Initiative, not Essie of Who. Thank you so much for understanding! Hi everyone! After ten years of blogging, it’s time for me to change my blogging pen name. If you follow The Estella Initiative, the sister blog to this one, then you probably have read a post I wrote last month about breaking ties to…

New Computer is Here! What it is, Why I Purchased it, and What I Think of It
Hi everyone! It’s been a few weeks since I started using my new computer. When I purchased the computer, I wanted to write a post about what kind of computer it is, why I purchased the computer I did, and what I think of it so far. Even though I was excited to own it, I had to take my time learning how to work it because it is so different from my previous laptop computer. Since I had to take my time to learn how to use it, I had to postpone writing and posting this post until I felt comfortable with my computer to write about it.

Computer Update- March 2022
Hi everyone! I thought I should write an update post about my new computer. It arrived safely, but a few things happened in February that caused me to delay opening the package and use it. Among these things is my relative became very ill. My relative is doing well, but it did scare me badly because of the Covid-19/Corona Virus. Since my relative was so ill, I had to delay opening and set up my new computer until the very last day of February. Even though it took me so long to get my computer up and running, I wanted to give an update about how my new computer is…

YouTube, Art, Photography, and Computer Update- February 10, 2022
Well, this year has been an interesting one for me. Every year is interesting, but I never had so many life and work changes before February. Because of this, I let some things that I need to work on and do slide. One of these things are post YouTube videos, art, and photography I took recently. Even though I have video ideas as well as photographs and art to post, there is something I need to do that I postponed until now: Buy a new computer.
