That's enough! I am breaking this leave of absence and just putting an end to the silence. There is no rhyme or reason to this post just to put a smile on your face and to have a new post other than the one saying that my room is a mess. Fact: I did clean my room up right away. Another Fact: My room has yet again been bombed and I am just finishing up with the wreckage. Well enjoy these videos! Take a leave of absence from your busy day and just simply enjoy the laughter.

Leave of Absence
So I have been thinking and thinking of what to put as a new post. Within the past few weeks I have opened this window with the New Post box completely blank and ready to be spotted with ink (metaphorically speaking) and nothing. I couldn't think of anything. I have stories...but didn't know which one to put. I have funny things to make you laugh...but my fingers didn't type. I could always share something inspiring and heartwarming...but that never made it on the page either.

Moment of Silence
Something terrible has happened. It has effected me terribly and I don't know how I found it, but I conjured up the strength to keep moving forward. I have to take a deep breath before I tell you what exactly happened.
Someone put a bomb in my closet and it blew up this afternoon. The total damage is tremendous and lives of a whole household have been effected. There are clothes everywhere around the closet and many hangers have been stripped bare. Only a few strong ones have remained with clothes still hanging on by the last thread. Who would commit such a crime against an innocent victim? It brings such great devastation to see such a random act that produces such chaos and scattered debris that looks like such a daunting task. There is a hero in this story though. I have bravely volunteered to clean up this terrible explosion. I have mustered up the will to trudge through the wreckage and battered clothes and repair what there is left. Provide company to those lost hangers and rebuild up the structure of my closet. It is a bold task but I am up for the challenge. It always feels good doing service. ;)
As my sister Annelisa would say, "Cleanliness is Godliness!"
Wish my luck on my endeavors. This catastrophe will not be a mess for long! My room will look normal again!

Backstage Pass
This past year I had decided to finally buckle down and achieve the impossible, face the daunting, and conquer all! I had committed myself to not only starting a journal but actually keep writing in it for once in my life. I have loved it ever since! Although I am not by any means a good journal keeper, it has given me more clarity of my own thoughts and of course helped me remember details in all of life's adventures. Including some my mother may not approve of....yes mom we went dirtbiking in the rain and that was unsafe. (Sorry). Well, the other day I was dancing along to the music in the car as usual. Oh Journey and Aerosmith how well you sing to my soul and inner air guitarist. I pulled up to a red light, singing as if someone was trying to listen to me in China with nothing but thier own bare ears, and then soulfully went into the guitar solo. Right then my consiousness of the outer world kicked in and I slowly turned my head to the left. I had an audience. At first it was just the passenger with a bewildered look on her face; then, she tapped her husband's arm and he popped his head and took a gander at this AMAZING performance. I paused and held eye contact with my fans still clutching my air guitar...then burst into laughing, cranked up the volume even louder and continued the concert. I'm still suprised that a pretty white van didn't meet me at the bank accompanied by my red light fans and two brauny men holding a straight jacket. haha! This experience reminded me of a journal entry. I have not read it in a while and I am deciding to just copy it onto this post without any hesitation. And if it ends up being embarrassing or not making any sense at all...well just one more thing to chuckle at. *Plus it is my blog after all. I can post whatever I like ;)

Today is a beautiful Saturday. I slept in as long as I could, woke up, showered, spent some time with roomies, then decided I would go get a free smoothie from McD's. After I did so, I didn't want to go home yet. I extended my errand into a lovely drive to just saok up the world. I knew as soon as I left my apartment I was going to have an adventure. This is why this adventure's playlist started off with "Play that Funky Music White Boy." After sippingo n my smoothie the songs turned to "Modern Nature", then lastly onto "Vaggabond" by Wolfmother (which I left of repeat). If you ever want to soak up the world - that is a good song to do it to. I saw a couple walking and holding hands patiently as her right leg was limp and slowed them down, saw a boy with his shirt off walking out his run checking himself out and smirking. Two cars weaving, speeding impatiently, and then seeing thier bright tail lights flash as they abruptly halted to a red light. Many people were enjoying the weather by walking, biking, jogging, skateboarding with friends, roommates, first dates, families, etc.. One that I saw and couldn't help but smile was a mom with two sons. The older sppeding ahead on his Razer Skooter giggling, and then the youngest with his mom. both smiling so big as he stood on the back of her electric wheelchair. Out of the many people, circumstances, attitudes, and conversations, relationships I saw.. those three were by far the happiest. I finished my drive with the mountains. At some point in all these observations I turned my music to shuffle and as this adventure comes to an end and this afternoon journal entry closes, out playlist fades off with "To love you more" by Celine Dion. haha. Try going through shuffle without pressing next at all. It will surprise you more than once. Now people will observe me with all windows down as Celine and I belt out a good song on a beautiful Saturday.
This was my one and only "artisticy" journal entry, but I hope that you enjoyed it. The other day at work after I finished backing up all thier groceries half an hour to close, the husband turns to me and says, "You know what is so amazing? Your smile is beautiful in your eyes as well." Remember to smile everyone. Happiness, love, and a warm and giving heart is one of the most beautiful things you can carry with you.

Hola! Bonjour! Bienvenue! Nǐ hǎo! Bonjourno!
Hello blogging world! I have decided after slight consideration to start my own blog. My family and I have our own blog, and without any hesitation or embarrassment I am admitting that I check it daily and love posting new experiences and thoughts onto the wonderful online family newsletter. So it was about time to create my own right? I love reading family members' blogs, my friends, and complete stranger's blogs. I want to be considered just as creative as the blogs I admire and check up on from time to time. I hope to bring the readers just as much laughter, thought-provoking posts, maybe some tears, and heart warming experiences that I have been blessed to come across myself.
So hello! Let me start off by explaining the name of my blog. I wanted to think of something creative, or witty, or inspirational, but what I came up with was something that only my family and I would smile at. There are 4 sisters in my family and each of us have a nickname bestowed upon us for life from my mom. There is Becca Noonie, Megaria, Seesa Beesa, and lastly Daniella Bella. So at the start of this blog, which can be considered an extension of my personality for others to enjoy, it will start with a title that is a dedication to my family. Even though I am sure that my family members are the only ones to look at this blog, to anyone else who may stumble upon this rambling...my family is amazing. The blog title is a tribute to them, but it doesn't even come close to how much I care about them. They are kind, loving, hilarious, and so full of spunk it is ridiculous! My mom nicknamed me Daniella Bella for who knows why! Maybe it was an attempt to butter me up to get me to wear the bows, pantyhoes, and flowery dresses as a kid. In my opinion though, it is because my family and everything that goes with them is what makes me beautiful.
Okay, enough of the sappiness for one post. Bottom line: Hello blog world! I'll be in touch! :)
