Quiet your mind and allow your soul to speak. The inner voice of your infinite wisdom is always there to guide you.
The Key to a Mysterious choice
Can’t say anything...
In the storm.
It feels like I can’t move.
I’m in the middle of the windstorm.
One step forward,
Wind,
Rain-drops hit my face,
drench my hair.
The rain pours down.
I step forward,
Through the wind.
I feel like I’m getting sucked in.
The wind twirls around me.
I find solid ground.
Forceful strides.
My step
Grounded.

Desc / Background Summary: This piece Illustrates the dark and mysterious. My intention is to share the deep-rooted feelings one has in the unknown, like walking down the street of a foreign, unknown, city and the provoking imagery you feel as emotions run rampant. This conceptual design has black and white tones on a Matt finish.
Recap of What I learned and BIG wins for me this month:
- Don’t be so hard on yourself, forgive yourself and move on. Perhaps this sounds very simple, but simple things are always the most difficult. Life requires the greatest discipline. Its simple. Accept yourself truthfully, it is the essence of the moral problem and the epitome of a whole outlook upon life. There are many times I call myself lazy because I didn’t workout that day, or do what I planned. Laziness can be described as losing faith in self, Lazy, which is really a little lie you are telling yourself because deep down you know you are capable, powerful, unique and wonderful.
- You have to run. There is this thing known as “running muscles” and those muscles are not used the same in biking, yoga or swimming. You have to get out there and run. Running is a sport that requires the least amount of equipment, there is less to bother with around schedules, because I can tie-up my running shoes, and head out the door. When I run regularly, eventually, I feel better. The sun starts showing up earlier, it gets warmer outside; and that makes it easier to get out there.
- It’s your opportunity, Battle with the Heart!!! Its your own individuals path!! It’s where you have been, how you got here today and who you are today… Your opponent may be bigger, faster, stronger and more experienced, but, they don’t know who you are and what you are made of. You have to prove it, lay your heart on the line, put your all into it, day-in-day-out, until race day and when you cross the finish line. If you do that, you cannot lose. Because how you play today, right now, from this moment on, is how you will be remembered. It’s your opportunity. Grab Hold! ♡
- The experiences, of anything, isn’t only the final event itself, it is all about the beginning and the planning with the people and experiences along the way. If you plan to the final day or event, you are missing everything in-between. Just like planning for Amsterdam, my friend Dar and I are creating the experience now. We said, “We signed up payed for the airfare, now the adventure begins.” And this is true. I am learning, exploring and meeting people now, along the way and am having so much fun with it!!!!
- I am different, not the norm. I do things solo. I always have. I may lead groups of people, but I really am not a part of the group. At all! (I know this has to do with the nature of things that happened in my childhood, elementary school and those things were only solidified in high school by the behaviors I did and reinforcement of those around me who, not knowingly, supported it). And these stories pop back in my mind every time I think of this, the day when the altercation occurred, and seeing myself walking home from school telling myself, “I can do this and I’ll show them!”
- Getting sick is not something someone plans, all you can do is stay the course the best you can and rest your body to allow time for healing.
Staying on track with my stats…
