Hiatus Over

Though the unfortunate situation at home has not been resolved, I have decided to press on with blogging. I'm beginning to feel like a vulture the way I'm peeking over my family member's shoulder every 10 minutes. I haven't stayed home since this ordeal began and was informed - as politely as possible - that I'm becoming a nuisance. LOL So it stands to reason that I should resume my life despite the circumstances.
So, posts will be sporadic (more so than usual, okay?), but I'm still here.

Here's a heartwarming project I stumbled upon on Vimeo. Not only is the photography phenomenal, it amazes me how some people with so little do so much for others while others with a lot do little to nothing at all.

On Repeat

In the meantime, I must find this song and put the iPod on loop:

Hiatus

Because my family is going through a terribly difficult time right now, Mags & Choc is going on hiatus indefinitely. Hopefully, I will be back soon.

On a Negative Note

If you visit this blog regularly, you know I try to keep it all about positivity and inspiration, but recently life has thrown my family a huge curveball, so, try as I may, I'm not feeling particularly positive or inspired today and I can't contain it. Actually, I haven't been feeling too hot all month because of this family issue. I'm a praying person and try to hope for the best, but I also get angry. Today, I am beyond angry. Simultaneously pissed and distraught

All I have to say is I effing HATE Kaiser Permanente (and HMOs in general). They do the bare minimum for their patients when it comes to screening and I hope they go bankrupt and/or burn to the effing ground (whichever comes first)! I hope their Board of Directors, administration, and any doctors who adhere to their rules just to save their measly jobs (if you're a doctor, hello, you can find another job!) are arrested for murder because that slaughterhouse serves as nothing more than an obstacle to the well-being of patients. They are not about preventative care - no matter what they claim. "Health and Wellness" my foot. I know plenty of people feel this way, so I'm just putting it out there. Holla if you hear me.

P.S. - I also hate effing cancer!
