April 16, 2007 On Friday evening, after a great sushi dinner with Spencer, Borina and her boyfriend,Terry, we walked outside to see a crowd of approximately 30-40 kids rivaled against each other in the midst of an angry altercation. While I saw adults walk by uninterested in intervening, I couldn’t walk by without having an invisible screen stop me and make an effort to halt a violent event from occurring. While my adrenaline soared and my fear rose, nothing could…
obsessed with progression
April 11, 2007April 11, 2007 Ive been distracted lately every day I wake up with no expectations as to what each day would bring and every night I am absolutely surprised at the gifts God grants me. I feel very, very blessed right now. While I am in a highly transitional stage and have abandoned all titles that once represented who I thought I was I still feel more grounded than ever. My spirit is on fire. Tomorrow morning I am training…
finding my flow.
April 5, 2007
April 4, 2007 Happy Wednesday Everyone! I dont usually post this late in the week, but Ive been going through some technical difficulties and admittedly, some emotional challenges. As usual, when I write down long term goals, I start to become anxious Besides being anxious, I started getting nostalgic of how controlled my life used to be only 1 month ago. In the moment, I never know what triggers my mind to make huge life changing decisions, but in retrospect,…
Establishing Commitments
March 28, 2007March 27, 2007 I’m at a significant point in my life. I quit a job I loved. I pulled out of a condo I fought hard to get. I broke up with an incredible guy and I’m establishing myself in a city that is new but old to me. Tomorrow, after I train at 6:30 am, I am attending a meeting to discuss assisting and possibly directing a mentor/charity program in the Sacramento region. I also plan on updating fitnesscure.com,…

Top 6 Fitness Things to do on a weekend.
March 16, 2007As we approach another weekend with a blank canvas of all the wonderful and active things we could do, I suggest my top 6! 1. Go out dancing! I love, love, love dancing! Not only is it super fun to hang out with your friends, but it also allows you to burn calories in a fun, sensual way! 2. Go Trekking – I met a man in Thailand who loves to trek…what is it exactly? It’s walking! It’s exploring! It’s…
my sacrifice
March 13, 2007March 13, 2007I went go cart racing for the 1st time this past weekend! While Im naturally a fast driver, I do have to say, that the speed exerted when I pressed on the gas pedal felt too powerful for me to control. I was a light rider who maneuvered turns easily; however, I was admittedly scared being in a cockpit of men who were experienced in force, speed and power. It is amazing to be able to ride as…
the road not taken
March 6, 2007March 5, 2007 I woke up early this morning without alarm, without fatigue and without hesitation to get up this new day and live life with my personal best. This past weekend I repeated my ‘re-energize Maria’ routine….I spent the entire morning in my pajamas while cycling hours of spiritual readings, reflective writings and deep sleeping/dreaming until early afternoon! (Imagine having a water bottle, a book and a journal while sleeping every 30 minutes because of fatigue) This Saturday however,…
a simple truth

As in any decision making process, there are certain things I have promised to never compromise: 1) I will never sacrifice my health for any amount of money, for my most valuable asset is my strong temple. 2) I will never survive in an environment that doesn’t nurture…
a loving revolution of Change
February 20, 2007February 19, 2007 There are moments in my life when life is so quiet, I can hear a pin drop in a loud and crowded room. There are periods in my days when the atmosphere feels so slow, I can feel the wind move when someone walks away. There are days like today, when the last thing I want to do is fall asleep, just so I can wake up the next day and live all over again Right now,…
