New Year. New You

Here we are in Spring 2013 - Where is the time going? Last year was one INTENSE year. I experienced a deeper love, loss, a new job and most importantly a better understanding of who I am.

I learned that not everyone you meet and connect with will be in your life forever no matter how great of an impact and space they held in your heart. I learned more than anything to always believe in yourself and never allow someone to bring you down just because of how they see you. Everyone has their own perception of themselves and the world around them - sometimes it even feels like they are living in another reality. Someone you thought you knew inside and out can end up being someone you have no connection to or understanding of. I'm still growing and evolving and so are the people around me. You meet and connect with people at different stages in your life -- and only those that share your energy will continue on your journey with you. Whatever is not in alignment will be purged and everything happens for a reason. I am extremely grateful for the relationships I have made through out my life - everyone held a purpose.

This year already I have met so many incredible soul and traveled to incredibly serene places. My relationship with A is growing quickly and I am the happiest I have been in years. I'm excited for the life we dream of and the journey that lies ahead....

Here is a little glimpse of some of my adventures...

New Years in Lake Tahoe

I found my new guilty pleasure - CHICKEN AND WAFFLES - Pure Gluttony!

Valentine's Day in VEGAS - I HIGHLY recommend seeing LOVE by the Beatles!

I also discovered my new obsession of Martini's and Oysters --- Am I getting old?

I have always lead with my heart and positive energy - and this past year has been a testament to that. 

Emotion is greater than reason

Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice 2012, June 20th.

I had something happen to me tonight that I cannot even begin to explain in words. An epiphany per-say. Today something inside me awakened, dreams and ideas I once only imagined have become real and obtainable. Today I decide my life, my path and my journey. Today I am taking my first step. Today is a day for change. Change in my new direction. I want a rich life, rich in culture, rich in love, rich in happiness and rich in my appreciation for nature, the earth the sun and the moon. Its time to take control of my life and follow my heart and my desire for a beautiful, sustainable life. I have to let go of this idea of failure. Failure in whose eyes? Who determines what failure is? What in some eyes might be failure, is success in mine. Financial failure? Societal failure? The idea to live under certain rules? Who's rules?? I make my rules, I choose my life and what I think is success. As far as I know I have already succeeded , succeeded to break free from "the norm". 

Today I choose step 1. FOOD. I choose to be mindful and smart about what I put in my body and how I use the resources the earth has provided to man. I'm starting today with one thing. WHOLE GRAIN. Goodbye white bread, goodbye white pasta. I don't need you , my body is better without you and you are no good for me!!!

But let me say, I cannot only thank "faith" (well and the first day of summer :-) ) for this, I have to thank my baby. He has drawn out something inside me that has been tucked away. He makes me feel right,  he has awakened my soul. And how lucky am I that I get to share this life, this dream , this journey with my soul mate? The ying to my yang. 

I AM NO LONGER AFRAID.

Today my journey to nirvana begins. Today I achieved prajna, which in buddhism means wisdom and the realization of true inner nature. It's the principal means of attaining nirvana, true liberation, true happiness.
