I can’t tell you how to live your life, I can only tell you how I will live my life.
#1: I don’t guard my time but I will moving forward. The days of saying “YES” to not hurt a friend’s feelings or to feel like I’m still a part of the circle ends. In 2015, I will only do things that inspire me, motivate me, better me, and move forward toward my targets in life. Continue reading MY 2015 MANIFESTO
I’m not saying goals this year. It’s such a horrible word because if you don’t reach your goal, you feel like a failure. BUT if you miss a target, one can step back, realign and shoot again. See how much weight has been lifted off one’s shoulder already!! Here are my LUCKY 7 targets for 2014! Spread more positivity and Universal magic, love, and luck … Continue reading Targets for 2014
I rang 2012 in Bondi (Australia). I rang 2013 in Detroit, MI. One was sunshine with sandy beaches. One was gray skies and melting snow. Both were places I never I imagined I’d be, but forever grateful for the paths that put me in both locations. I can say I have two regrets in 2012 1) Saying no to a guy I should have said … Continue reading Reflections of 2012
On Monday, I said I would do the no sweets for 3 weeks with my friend, Andrew. I added alcohol as a bonus for myself. On Tuesday, I said I would drop one pound for every pound my weight lifting friend, Matt, gained. He had 8 to go on his target of 200, but would like to be be at 230. Either way, 8lbs to … Continue reading Targets to Aim For
So, I’m giving up sweets and alcohol for three weeks. I know, roll your eyes, say yeah right, whatever, and so on. This is how this got started: I understand where he’s coming from. I’ve went from inactive pseudo slob to working out 5 times a day for the last two weeks. Where this sudden motivation came from, who knows and I don’t care because … Continue reading 3 Week Challenge: No Sweets, No Alcohol
This is a perfect home to me. I like simple living. When I moved from 418 to 470, I got ride of 70% of everything I owned. Books, furniture, clothing, knick knacks, etc. The other 30%, if I could toss it all, I would have started from scratch. I want the above. Right on or near a beach in Australia. Any beach will do. And … Continue reading Airstream Daydream
So my dear friend and sistah from another mister, Amy, tells me today, “I think you should learn how to scuba dive.” (She’s a scuba diver herself, so this isn’t a strange beginning to a conversation.) What she didn’t know when said this to me, is that I was already thinking of this. On my 2nd trip to Key West, I tried snorkeling and I … Continue reading Trying New Things & Expanding My Horizons, One Crazy Idea at a Time
This week was my final week to “act a fool” as my Grandmother would say. I’m tired of being a fat ass and though my friends and co-workers reassure me I am not a fat ass, what I see in the mirror is someone I’m not happy with. So with all the craziness that came with work this week, I decided this week, was my … Continue reading God Gave Me a Brain
“If we write our dreams and goals down, we dramatically increase our odds of realization. If we share them with others, they become potent and alive.” ~Kristin Armstrong My dear friend, Amy, sent me the above quote several weeks ago with the words “Timely…don’t ya think? And don’t worry – I will keep you accountable.” Seriously, how great of a friend is she?The thing is, … Continue reading Kick Failure in the Nuts
I don’t normally make my “resolutions” vocal because I often fail in doing them. There’s nothing more than that one friend or family member who will constantly chides you on your failure, epic or not. Having said that, I struck out the word resolution and made them goals for myself. Goals are sexier than resolutions. Goals seem easier and my dear friend Amy inspired me … Continue reading Goals of 2012
