and i want you to know
that i am both happy
and sad and i'm still trying
to figure out how that could be.

So,
life is good.
i love him.
and this room.
and this house.
and this job.
i love myself.
i love routines.
i love consistency.
i love progress.
i love being sore.
i love being out of breath.
i love cringing at the thought of a cigarette.
i love food. really really really good food.
i kind of like money.
i like the feeling of being in control of how much money i make.
i love feeling like i have something to offer.
i like being part of a team.
i love new technology.
i love plants.
im thinking about buying a hibiscus for 40 bucks. and calling her abby.
im thinking that i should spend more of my money on plants instead of clothes. :)
i've gone on birth control (pray for my sanity)
i love the clock in my room and our lava lamp that is always on.
i love that my bobby pin holder has a magnet.
i love that my bronzer doesn't make me look orange.
i love that national geographic has photo contests.
and i love that i actually feel like if i work hard enough i could win won.

i love living in vancouver
i love that i can go on a run and hit the beach.
i love that every single day i meet someone new and fabulous.
today, i met a girl named cassidy. who is the new villian on smallville.
she came in to do yoga and we ended up talking for a while.
i love meeting cool ppl like that.

i love that my socks match.
and that my bed is made.
i love that my towels are clean and folded
and that there is orangina in my fridge.

i fucking love my speakers.
and the fact that cody is reading one of my books.
i love the fact that there is still so much left to know about loving
and appreciating life.

its the small things though.

its the orangina in my fridge--for sure.







Trust only movement.  Life happens at the level of events, not of words.  Trust movement.

have you started recycling yet?

In an underdeveloped country, don't drink the water; in a developed country, don't breathe the air.






In your house sort plastics, paper, organics, waste.
its that simple.
we have to start somewhere.

We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence, therefore,
is not an act but a habit.

Aristotle

Mission.

I had a rough day today in yoga. I had to leave early because I was so dehydrated.  My body just gave out. Honestly, its frustrating when it doesn't go how I envision it.  I know that everyday isn't going to be perfect. I just wish this one was.  I need to be more kind to my body.  Stop partying so much... I know its not the end and one slip doesn't mean its over.  Its just hard to adjust to a new lifestyle.  I'm glad I'm doing it though. Just gotta let the old one go first.  I'm holding on so tight.

Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat. 

F. Scott Fitzgerald
