2009

I read in "US weekly" (a very classy gossip magazine that I indulge in from time to time) that when asked what Kathy Griffin's New Years Resolution was for 2009, she answered "To eat more carbs!" Awesome.

Although my normal reaction to "New Years Resolutions" is to roll my eyes (I admit to being an eye-roller sometimes) I do think it's important to know what direction we're going in in the next 12 months.

In my world, 2009 will be a year of being Intentional.

2008 was a HUGE, and very long I might add, time for me. After working two jobs (one of which was extremely trying personally and spiritually), traveling through Europe to find I have ALOT going on in my head and my heart that I didn't even know about, then coming home to figure out what to do and how to deal with those things...



I am ready for a new year!

So this year is about being intentional. Intentional about even the small things. What I do with my time, how I take care of myself physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, how I love people, how I let people love me, and how I chose to see new and eye-opening (sometimes even appalling!) things each day. Being a positive person comes pretty naturally to me (even though my sarcasm lacks proving this at times) but even more than being generally positive, I want to see each and every situation and moment as a learning tool...........................................Am I meant to be a teacher or what?

Instead of asking what your "Resolution" is for 2009, I wonder what direction YOU are heading in...??????

Here's why I shouldn't have a dog

This week I'm babysitting...a dog. Notice I didn't say dog sitting. The first time I watched her she was a puppy, an "untrained" puppy. That means she did her business all over my apartment, for an entire week. The positive reinforcement give-her-a-treat-when-rarely pooping-outside trick was not successful. Since I was teaching a two week Yoga and writing course at the time, with flexible hours, I figured the availability to come home at lunch, take her back to school with me etc would make for an easy week. False. As those of you who've followed my previous dating life have already concluded, I'm not too quick of a learner. And so, I committed to babysitting this dog again. I'm on Summer break, why wouldn't I have a dog with me...all day long? One that is no longer under 20 pounds especially. In the past 24 hours I've decided I should NEVER have a dog because of the following reasons: 1. The noise created by said dog chewing a bone makes me wa...

Mind Blowing

Just go reheat that coffee for GOODNESS sake! Me reminding myself to try to enjoy life a little. This is a rough time. And I could start a post with those three sentences any Friday of the year, but particularly right now...this is a rough time. The struggle (sometimes TOTAL struggle, depending on the hour and minute) of staying home is of MINOR importance during a time like this, during any time really.  Let's get REAL, for most of us, life is good.  Really good. There are families suffering right now, and not just the elderly members of them. I won't go off on how frustrating it is to hear people lessen the severity of this because it's "just affecting older people." That's 1. Incorrect and 2. Unbelievably disrespectful *If you're lucky enough to have a Grandma or Grandpa still, or anyone in your life that's old enough to be considered "old" be thankful, then CALL them and check in. NOW. The current swing of Social Media o...

Playa hatin'...a harsh reality

This seems like an oddly serious post to be writing from the couch, with "My Blue Heaven" on in the background. I don't deny my love for Steve Martin and 80's films. I'm normally serving cocktails at this hour on a Sunday night but I came home a little early on account of a terrible tummy ache! Not sure if it's the flu that's going around or the cajun fries Pepe the cook gave me. Whether those babies were the cause or not...they were nonetheless a bad idea. The other option for this ache could be a case of the nerves, another meaning for "upset stomach" if you will. I'm a little upset over a few things. There are times when things go on around you (which have nothing to do with you-and by "you" I mean me) and somehow they still really get to you, to the bottom of your heart. I'm not sure if there is rhyme or reason to it, but at times that these very things which have nothing to do with your life can get you so, so upse...
