Rae's Craft

First I would like thank e.l.f cosmetic for creating their brand and making good product. I normally use Wet & Wild setting spray, but my local drug store never have it. I was in need of setting spray ( don't like the powder ) as I was checking other brands the cost ranged from $12- $16 dollars and I wasn't trying to spend that much. Something said check e.l.f and I did. When I first sprayed it on my face it immediately started itching, as it dried the itching was gone. And I

Dreaming to change the world.

Taking a second look.

The Face of Courage "Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.' - George S. Patton The bravest among us feel fear-they just do not give in to it. They persist, because what is the other option? Give in? No-what kind of life is that? Better to be strong until the last breath. TODAY I WILL SEND A LETTER TO A SOLDIER SERVING IN A WAR ZONE. I WILL THANK HIM OR HER FOR BEING A HERO TO ALL OF US BACK HOME. #bookreading #bookreadings #blogs #RaesBlog #RaesCraft #PositiveQuote

Poem to staying positive on Mondays.

Make Peace with the Process "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work - Thomas Alva Edison Edison sure was an optimist, wasn't he? He never focused on failure- just on researching possibilities. That's a good attitude for any of us. When you think about the universe, the possibilities are endless. Endless possibilities entail endless possibilities for failure as well as success. The only way we can make progress is by experimentation., and failure

Mother Nature Rules "No matter how rich you become, how famous or powerful, when you die the size of your funeral will still pretty much depend on the weather." - Michael Pritchard We make big plans, but Mother Nature has her way in the end, doesn't she? Let's say you live in the Midwest and plan a winter getaway to Florida. You make plans to fly out on February 2. If a blizzard blows in that morning, all your planning may well be for naught. Sometimes-even in this modern

Living Life to the Max "You cannot learn to skate without being ridiculous. The ice of life is slippery." - George Bernard Shaw Life is not easy, and if we make a habit of trying new things, life gets even harder and more complicated. But what is the alternative? To stay completely safe, we would have to remain home all the time. If we take this route, we never go anywhere or do anything. What kind of life is that? Make peace with being ridiculous at times- it is part of

Playing It Safe "Don't think there are no crocodiles because the water is calm." - Anonymous I find alligators fascinating. I will bike five miles each way to a park in my area to observe the gators that live there. Once, soon after I moved to Florida, I was riding my bike on the narrow path around the perimeter of that park. I glimpsed a six-foot-long gator sunning itself along the lake. I jumped off my bike, grabbed my camera, and quietly moved closer to get a good shot

A Symphony of Drummers "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured and far away." - Henry David Thoreau My friends are varied and original, and I love this about them. One couple lives in the mountains and doesn't get too upset when one of their chickens wanders into the house. Another friends lives in a small New York apartment on the 18th floor and loves every min

Lighting Each Other's Way "We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own." -Ben Sweetland Sometimes we spend so much time and effort helping other people that we worry we are nearly ignoring our own needs. Certainly this can become a problem, but in general, we need not to spend too much time worrying about this. In helping others, we often find that we ourselves have learned something or benefited as well. Perhaps we go out of our way to help

Practice Makes Perfect "It's a funny thing, the more I practice the luckier I get." - Arnold Palmer Some people don't believe in luck, and it seems that Arnold Palmer is one of these people. He knows how hard he has worked, and he credits this with his success. Luck may be the reason behind some things ( winning the lottery, for instance ), but those glories pale in comparison to what hard work and practice can bring us. TODAY I WILL WORK HARD, AND I WILL IMPROVE. #RaesBlog

Anger Danger "Speak when you are angry and you will make the speech you will ever regret." -Ambrose Bierce I used to think the person who walked away from a good argument was a fool, but I now know the person who walks away is very wise. When you feel the blood rushing to your face, think very carefully--the words that come to your mouth may be life-altering. Do you really want to blurt out what you are thinking at that very moment? Aren't your thoughts more akin to those

Move On "A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain." -Samuel Johnson Forgiveness is hard, but delaying it only prolongs the painful moments. Always be understanding and ready to forgive, for each of us has needed forgiveness in the past and will need it again in the future. Make peace, and move on to the next chapter of your life.
