September 27, 2007 I’ve never been popular. Ever. I never wear the most fashionable clothes. I never interact with the coolest people. I never do the most sociable things…and probably most significantly, I’m never popular amongst folks because I never say the right things. My journal entries don’t agree with everyone. My daily activities don’t jive with all peers. My energy doesn’t mix with most strangers. I’m selective who I keep in my inner circle, just as those in my…
a Fearless Commitment.
September 21, 2007September 20, 2007 Yesterday we had our first Board of Directors meeting for the fitness nonprofit I am founding. Founding a non profit is similar to starting a business. There are paperwork, tax documents, business plans, bylaws, directors and money involved. Most of all, there’s a lot of commitment, passion, focus and self-drive. While my history has proven that I hardly lacked juice in the self-drive department, I whole heartedly admit that my drive is fueled by faith from a…
Seeds of Intention.
September 14, 2007September 13, 2007 Monday was a difficult day for me. A wave of negative energy hit me like a lightning strike and immobilized my ability to drive, to write, even to stay awake. My mind was clouded by a sober coil of confusion and calamity. I almost had an accident 4 times. I even walked into the house with the keys in the car, while the car was still running! Midday, I fell into a deep slumber after releasing suppressed…
9/11
September 12, 2007September 11, 2007 On September 11, the strongest nation in the world was attacked by human bodies inside commercial airlines and then our whole world changed. I was staying with my parents during summer break and was working as a first-time trainer (my goal that summer was to become a kick boxing instructor, instead I became a trainer!) I was 20 years old completing my double majors in International Relations, Asian History, and minor in Political Science at UC Davis.…
My Body.
September 9, 2007September 8, 2007 Last night I visited my sisters new house and while Christine began preparations for dinner, naturally, I ended up making the spaghetti dinner for my niece and nephew. I wasn’t planning on eating a moderate portion of pasta, nor was I expecting temptation from freshly baked brownies for dessert. Yet while I sat on the kitchen floor in communion with those little kids, I savored each bite, I ingested every giggle and I absorbed all the loving…
103 Things about Me.
September 4, 2007
September 4, 2007 Hope y’all had an awesome Labor Day weekend! After some invitations to Vegas and Frisco, I decided to go to a Christian Conference down in LA! I will update my journal by Thursday! In the meantime, late Sat. night I posted a fun list: ‘103 things you didn’t know about me’ since self exploration and public revelation has been an everlasting joint topic of mine. I also ask that you keep Ruth Putney in your prayers. She…
