what i'm up to

Hey so i am making the transition to more of a doingmy own thing kinda deal with my employment. SCARY to say the least. i have faith everything is how it should b and will b well. so a little catch up. i have officially been vegan for 1 year as of 1/1/12...occasional slip on "bad" food i don't need anyway...namely sweets...arrrrrgh convenience is a demon. no flesh for 2 yrs at all as aof 4/8/12. chopped my hair into a mohawk and am now growing it out. got a mixture of blond and red going on...cuteness. let me see got a boyfriend, then a fiance, fiance dumped me 1/6/12 then 2 weeks later began his pursuit of getting me back, gave convo on 2/17/12, returned to his loving arms on 3/17/12...luck of the irish...lol. he really is a great, confused guy...seriously. wrote me a poem yesterday.

so i am studying to be a certified fitness trainer...woo hoo...lotta reading. when do i find the time...beats me but i do. took quizzes on 4 units today. scored 100% on 2 and 87.5% on the other 2...o well i passed. missed 1 question on the 2 that were not 100%.

took my first "true" shamanic journey on 4/8/12...fabulous fun. i learned my power animal....SNAKE...this is kinda funny due to a bit of childhood info i will have to share at another time. so yes i will be looking further into shamanism.

i am now also a certified meditation teacher, nondenominational ordained minister, lightbody activation practitioner (details to come), reiki master/practitioner, massage therapist and beginning my ascent into crystal healing.

i have 2.5 tattoos currently (one is just the outline right now). it will b gorgeous when it is complete. i have many more to get. let me tell u...tattoos on ur thigh are PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN. work up to it.

hi today

hi all, the journey continues........i met the most interesting individual over the weekend and yes there were some sharings. the yum yum (yes i said it) was beyond description. words can not even begin to describe the whole scenario. awesomely out of this world, divinely sanctioned is the closest verbal description i can come up with.......mmmmm the memories.

this friday is my test for teaching certification in QiGong level 1. do i feel prepared? uh no. my focus has been so not there and i am constantly so tired recently. but i gotta buckle down and focus cause i want this and i don't want to have wasted the money through my own fault.

hmmm...i believe this goes back to the yum yum......i had 2 people tell me i was glowing...wow
don't know what i did other than that. i have cut down on my coffee consumption though. 1-2 times per week versus daily sometimes twice.

a friend of mine jus told me he got his tongue pierced......wtf....i might have to get mine done now...i've thought about doing it often. just never took the leap.

hmmmm outta things for now, b back when there is more........

updates

Hey it's been a long minute. lots of changes. no more fiance'.....happy dance......finally shook off that energy. i feel so much freer, though there are a few things that still need to b changed, i just don't have the ammo i need in order to make those steps. hair is growing awesomely. i'm blonde now too.....yeeeeeeeeeah! loving the single life, enriching myself as much as i can. i just went to an awesome QiGong seminar. o my god if u have never done QiGong u have gotta try it. it is so liberating and empowering. i am so gonna have to get certified as a teacher, tho it is stressful because i don't know that i can remember all the steps i need to make it to certification. i guess if i don't get it the first time, i'll just try try try again.

i'm needing to take steps to enrich my personal business life, especially from an energy work perspective. i definitely feel the inspiration to teach and that is the avenue i feel i should go in. this QiGong certification would be a definite major step in the right direction. well we'll see.

i will upload pictures later and instill more info later....lunch is over.

updates

So, it's been a while since i posted...i get lazy. anyway so i've been veg for a lil over a month and it is going well tho it looks like i might need to start buying groceries (blech) in order to actually eat vegetables vs a whole bunch of carbs. i've cut my starbucks addiction down to once a week, Friday's only. i read somewhere that if your calorie intake goes below 1000 daily your body starts to gain weight well i think i might not be eating enough calories. i went from 215 to 220, dehydration and coffee drinking could be to blame also but i don't really know so i'm kind of experimenting. also limiting myself to one day of sugariness. my doctor would probably prefer no days but i'm still human. i will be doing measurements over weighing myself from now on, i will still weigh just not put too much stock in it. i can actually fit into regular people clothes (XL) so i must be doing something right (YEEEEEEEEEEEEAH).

So, i took my ex-boyfriend back on 4/24/10....became an official Buddhist on 4/25/10......got engaged to said boyfriend on 4/27/10.........wow what a whirlwind, let's see where it blows shall we.....................................stay tuned

update and what not

hello hello, so it goes as normal. i've been vegetarian for a little over 2 weeks now, no craving for meat tho i do think on it as it would be easier to eat some when i'm tryna shop for a meal....everything has it in it. other than that i have absolutely no desire for it. i do think my bodys lack of liking dairy is increasing.....uuuugh. i'm gonna try rice milk and see how that goes. interestingly enough, tho i'm "vegetarian" i've been loading up on carbs....lol so really i'm a carbetarian....tee hee. but seriously, gotta stop that. weighed myself and i gained 5 pounds (carb overload u think), granted i just ended the monthly terror, so mayb some left over bloat cuz boy did i bloat. will b focusing more on eating the veggies and fruits from here on out and looking past any terrorizing sweets....aaaaarh. also need to quit being lazy and get on that dang bike.

in other news, there has been a rekindling of passions with an ex-boyfriend.....yeah i know, save it, appreciate it but still save it. i feel it's the right thing and that's all that matters. if it works out....great....if not....at least we know. not an easy road for him but i'm not gonna block him either. just gon let things run their course. good man,,,bad choices.

today marks my first day as an official Buddhist. (APPLAUSE HERE). so i am on my path----watch out now. we shall see how this turn of events works into the job arena, especially in reference to the many things of a less than positive nature that have been hurled at me.

Well dearies, until next time.....live, laugh, love

decision

so i made the decision last night to stop going back and forth with this decision.....i'm going vegetarian. meat doesn't really add anything to meals for me, so no sense in taxing my body with the digestion of it. then of course all the harmful things that exist in it unless you buy it from a special company that does ethical practices. i don't look down at those that eat flesh, i believe everyone should be allowed to be themselves without judgement, but flesh has no place in my life any longer......that's all for now.
