Welcome to My Shades of Emerald! We are here to share with you everything and anything about family, lifestyle, relationships, and so much more. This blog is geared towards people who are over 50 years old, BUT, we welcome EVERYONE of all ages to join us here and experience and share life’s many facets. We hope that through this blog, we will together laugh, cry, inspire or to simply say, “awwww, that was nice.” We hope that everyone will be able to relate and realize that in this journey of life, you are not alone!
In this blog, expect to see writings of members of my family. Aside from me, my 16-year old daughter will share with you her poems and essays. She is currently in 11th Grade and she plans to take up Journalism (at least for now, that is her plan-it changes every second) in college. She is an excellent writer and has joined some competitions where she was recognized. Her poems are youthful but have depth. Her topics are inspiring and very impressive.
My 13-year old daughter is a feisty young lady. As you can imagine, she is at the stage where she loves to be with her friends, talk for hours on the phone, and so interested in fashion. She loves art and photography. In this blog, we will share with you some of her drawings and fascinating photos.
Finally, my husband. He is the best writer in the family. (My 16-year old daughter got her knack for writing from him). He is very particular with grammar and punctuations you would think he is a University professor. He works in the field of law and thus, writes a lot of letters, briefs, and demands. He, too, will share his excellent writing skills in this blog.
We are a family of opinionated individuals. We have a lot to say that may give you a different perspective about LIFE, in general. We would love to share with you what we know, think, and feel.
Aside from writing, our family loves to eat, travel, and shop. I (the blog author-me, the mom) love to cook and bake. I will give you some cooking/baking tips and send you recipes. We will, from time to time, share with you how we rate restaurants and places we visit. We will also recommend certain items to purchase that might be useful for everyone.
So, PLEASE do stick around, READ, be informed, learn, be inspired and motivated.
Thank you for your time!
