My life is not exactly “normal,” but I like it. :)

Though I know that true acknowledgment comes from within, it does feel nice to get positive affirmation from outside sources on occasion. There have been times when I have questioned if  all of my work the past few years even mattered.  I’m glad to say it has touched at least a few people.  :) Recently, … Continue reading »

My 30th birthday wish list. :)

My 30th birthday is in two weeks… And since I cannot spend it where I had planned on being, and since my birthday wishes are far too big to ask any human being to accommodate or gift me with, I thought I would ask for the next best thing. You see, my favorite activity in the … Continue reading »

The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself. – Mark Caine

Last week I had to suspend my gym membership due to lack of funds.  It was sort of a big deal, because that is how I shower each day. It’s been an interesting few days since the suspension as I try to navigate a new sort of routine fit for the rock star that I … Continue reading »

When I grow up, I want to be ME.

I don’t know who you are, but THANK YOU!

I haven’t gone to the post office in I don’t know how long now.  I think it’s been at least six weeks or maybe since before Christmas.  I’ve been avoiding the Post Office because I know there are bills that I cannot pay waiting in my teeny tiny slot for correspondence with the “official/corporate” world.  … Continue reading »

Moving out of my comfort zone.

Last night, I was elated to have a few dollars to eat at In ‘n’ Out Burger.  While I sat and waited for my oh so good yet oh so bad indulgence, I noticed a homeless man walking around asking for spare change so that he could buy some french fries.  Most… no every person … Continue reading »

Teeny Tiny Little Miracles Abound!

Today was a very windy and cold day here in Los Angeles.  It was also a day in which I had to deliver flowers. As I walked to my car in order to make the last delivery, the beautiful arrangement was knocked from my car onto the ground leaving nothing but fallen flowers and shattered … Continue reading »

A Tiny Beautiful Little Miracle!

Last night, when I realized I needed to put gas in my tank, I got in my car and followed my instinct to drive way out of the way to buy some gas.  I had no idea why I wanted to go where I did for gas, I just had an urge… so I followed … Continue reading »

More Love!

Yesterday while I was just about to open my car door and leave the co-op here in Santa Monica, a homeless man tried to hand me something.  He didn’t actually look at me, he just lifted his hand for me to retrieve a small cardboard sign with string attached.    As I walked closer, I saw … Continue reading »

May you all give and receive just as easily as you breathe!

“I must be giving a lot” is what I thought to myself after a series of random kind gestures came flowing my way over a span of about fifteen minutes. Let me tell you a little about these gestures: A friend just approached me and asked how I was doing, meaning that she knows I’m … Continue reading »
