The other day, I decided to celebrate myself by purchasing some flowers and concocting a small love note to myself. The intention behind this act of self-love was to acknowledge me for all of the hard work I have done over the past several months. As I perused the flower section, I picked out a small bouquet of … Continue reading »

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 »
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND THANK YOU!
A few weeks ago, my friend wrote a blog post about things she would like for her birthday. It was difficult for her to write as she is not used to asking for things… One of the things on her list was for someone to do a random act of kindness for her birthday. “YIPEE” … Continue reading »

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 »
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 »
I heart the laundromat.
The laundromat I go to here in Santa Monica is a truly magical place… at least I think so. The energy of the patrons vary from the band of Escalade driving moms with tons of laundry and even more kids to the guy on the street who has to stand outside asking for change in … Continue reading »
