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,…
This Journal was written originally on my “mspace blog” but I decided to post it on my personal site as well. I WILL POST A NEW JOURNAL WEDNESDAY NIGHT. Posted on Friday, March 16 2007 What is True Freedom? Besides wearing my favorite color, green, tomorrowI am also celebrating a day in human history that signifies the light one man brought to this world. St. Patrick is widely recognized as the first bishop to bring the Christian faith to the…
March 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…
March 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,…
February 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,…
I just came back from a night run with my dog, Tiger. IT was super fun because he is a fast, young sprinter who loves, loves, loves walks!!! I performed a series of sprints, jogs and walks for about 30 minutes. Here is my top 6 reasons why dogs like Tiger is the best training partner in the world! 1. Dogs will NEVER say No to a walk/jog. Dogs don’t cancel on appointments, they don’t get their period or have…
February 12, 2007 I’ve seriously bought approximately 11 books in the last 8 days. My thirst for information and knowledge is unquenchable right now. In alliance with my ‘down time’, my ‘up time’ (week days) has also been fast, fierce and ferociously swallowing my energies whole…no joke. This weekend, I woke up to a quiet Saturday morning and completed my reading on a spiritual and motivating book: “Sacred Hoops” by Phil Jackson. Afterwards I rushed to eat, check emails, feed the…
I thought about this idea when I was reading e.How.com’s Tips on using myspace to ‘launch a career’. While the title interested me, I thought their tips were pretty pathetic in regards to being ‘different’ from other pieces of advice out there – especially since anyone can post a resume on yahoo jobs or hot jobs or anywhere else that accepts online resumes. Personally, most of my jobs have come from networks of people who were in the industry I…
January 29, 2007 I am absolutely, positively, undoubtedly blank right now. I feel like I have nothing to share – nothing to expel – nothing to writebecause there is so much happening: with my emotional state, present focus and newfound internal identity. I am so focused right now that it would honestly be hard for anything outside of my short term ambitions to present itself and be noticed. I’ve reflected old journals, revised current goals and renewed personal promises to…
I often get emails from people asking for tips – and wondering how to go about the most ‘simplist’ actions in the most healthy way. One of the things we don’t often think about is flying…and how to get the least bang from your butt (literally!) when stuck in a situation when food choices are limited, space is confined and time is not on your side. Here are Top 6 Things I perform religiously before and during any air travel:…
