Day 17 of 30 days of gratitude. The gift of a friend who doesn't hold back.

From the moment I started talking to my buddy, and carpool pal Janice on the way to work this morning, I knew what I was thankful for....her fresh perspective.  I know that no matter what I run by her, I am always going to get the answer I need to hear, not necessarily the one I want to hear.

Janice has helped me grow as a human being.  Helping me become less sensitive, when people are brutally honest, as well as just being a much needed sound board at times.  She can be loud, she can be crazy, in a fun way, and she can be right up in your face, but she is who she is and I admire her for that.  She may act like she doesn't care what people think of her, but I know she does, because beneath the surface she can be sensitive too...a trait not too many people see and I will probably get slapped for sharing that. Just kidding.  Maybe just the evil eye for giving her secret away.

This won't be long, because there isn't much more to say on this subject.  She is a true friend, one I know has my back and at the end of the day, that's all that matters. I have a lot of friend's like this, but today she helped me weed through the red tape of letting go and just floating on the breeze and seeing what happens. 

Until tomorrow...thank your pals for being who they are and for returning the favor and not taking any of your shit. ha!

Meditation for a Full or New Moon.

Are you one of those people who are a little unbalanced emotionally, or mentally, during a full moon?  Perhaps you go a little crazy, or maybe you turn into a hairless werewolf? Well, I may have the solution you are looking for.  I can't promise it will work miracles, but there is a possibility it might be able to help bring you back to a desirable level of sanity. Some people don't give the moon enough credit. Sure a full moon lights up the earth a bit more than usual, and sure it might make some canines bay at the moon, but it can also mess with your personal being. Think about it, moon cycles play with the ocean tide right?  Well, seeing how the body is made up of a large percentage of water, isn't it plausible that the moon is also playing with the human body? Throwing it off balance and making you feel not so emotionally fresh? I am not a scientist. I am not a trained person when it comes to meditations, so I am putting that out there now. ...

Mantra: I choose to be happy/excited.

  Hi!  I am back.  I posted my summation blog yesterday, talking about my thirty day meditation journey. I mentioned I would also blog about the daily mantra, but alas, I forgot.  Oops. Sorry about that.  I do believe everything happens for a reason though, after all how could I possibly write two separate blogs, about two things that go hand in hand so well?   I choose to be happy.  I choose to be excited.  I personally feel these two can be fused together.  I mean what moment of excitement didn't result in happiness, or what moment of happiness didn't result in excitement?  Though we usually associate excitement with something big, the littlest of things can also make one excited.   A few days ago, my dad called me up and we chatted for a bit.  Recently back from a trip to Hawaii, I asked my dad to bring me back a pen or two.  I love pens, they are my weakness.  It is also something small when people...

Writing. Day 19, 30 day challenge.

I am making myself finish my book once and for all tonight,  so I leave you with one of my favorite pictures I took with some new fancy app at the time. This is one of my favorite journals and pen. Until tomorrow...dream big and never give up on them.
