May 14, 2007 I am leaving tomorrow for New Zealand. While I’m excited, I fully admit that I haven’t packed, I haven’t closed all my projects and I haven’t researched anything about that beautiful country. All I know is that my passport is on my top right drawer in my bedroom. Believe me, I will be running around like crazy manana! In truth, I’m the type of person who doesn’t fully realize the upcoming event until I’m 2 seconds away…
Swimming with Nature
May 8, 2007May 8, 2007 I can’t find my cell phone. I’ve been without it for over 30 hours now. I looked in all my bags, my car, Spencer’s place, my parent’s house….nowhere! Honestly, while it’s annoying, it’s also very, very liberating. I have been guilty for 3am blackberry emailing exchanges… driving while texting…checking my emails while performing cardio…talking on the phone while at a register. How annoying! These days, (and especially today) I have attempted to stray away from the constant…
Allowing the past to die.
April 26, 2007April 25, 2007 I went on an impromptu trip to L.A. this weekend with Spencer. I had the opportunity to meet his family and friends and share special memories with outstanding people. Its always a joy to visit new atmospheres that remind you of what true happiness means: positive relations with others and a loving energy between special people. Those who follow this site have probably noticed that in the last few weeks my journal entries have been tardy and…
Fighting against Hate
April 17, 2007April 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…
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,…
a new life equation.
January 24, 2007January 23, 2007 Our world is full of energy: both positive and negative. Friends absorb and give you energy – because they have an open heart to receive it. Then there are people and things that literally ‘drain’ your energy – because they close channels of energy moving back to their heart. In this past week I’ve emailed, called, texted, visited and messaged old and new friends to ‘get connected’ once again. I realized that after many strenuous months battling in…
The birth of Passion.
January 16, 2007January 15, 2007 It was Saturday night at approximately 1:30am when I discovered my daily fitness blog site: fitnesscure was having technical issues. Apparently, while I was devising a new tribute site to my grandfather, I had accidentally canceled my fitnesscure account. After 2 hours on the phone with a very nice guy named Dan from my hosting company, I was asked to either pay a hefty fee to retrieve all old information lost during the cancellation or ‘start all…
boiling points.
January 10, 2007January 9, 2007 As the weekend began approaching last week, I began receiving inquiries as to what my plans were…and usually they’re pretty stacked with engagements. However, this past weekend was one to put in my personal history books. I literally lived in my pajamas for over 2 days. On Saturday I woke up at 5pm and on Sunday I woke up at 1pm (to pick my parents up from the train station, go dress shopping while waiting and church…
building a life force.
January 2, 2007January 2, 2007 Happy New Year Everyone! Wow! I still find it incredible to witness every passing year and stand in awe as you reflect on how so many things have changed in a matter of 12 months. This year, I was blessed to have my good friend, Dave Slagle, fly up from Southern California, to spend New Years with my family and friends. Dave and I met through a series of synchronized actions, when I decided one day to…
