Nature's gift from GOD!!
Nature's gift
from GOD!!
Philippians 2:14-15"Mode"
As I woke up
today, I didn’t feel the need to stay motivated. Instead , I wanted to do just
the opposite and sulk in NONSENSE
failures. After about 12:30ish , I realized that not only was I wasting my
minutes and time, but I was also being a BRAT. A year ago , I complained for
not having enough time off from work. I had wished for greener grass. And now
faced with it , I couldn’t remember that I had just gotten what I had wanted. Therefore why am I still finding fault from my
deck of cards??
Tonight's Dinner: Baked Curry Wings accmpanied with Fresh Onion Sauteed Asparagus |
The List goes on…
In Conclusion,
I have chosen to see the SUN and
feel it caress my face.
Come, let us

It's Harvest Time
Harvest Time!!!
It’s HARVEST Time again & time for
another Focus! For those of you
who’ve just joined the blog, I’ve been gradually working my way through
transforming myself into a better person. These past few days have been
amazing. I’m blogging as I am in Cali. It’s my first time here. I’m so EXCITED to be here. Being here has
allowed me the necessary decompression that I have needed, that ordinarily I wouldn’t
have gotten in my hometown. Time off from work and normal day to day is
AMAZING. I’m not sure if it’s me, but there’s no place like home!
I miss the FREEDOM of jumping in my car, whenever and however
I choose, My brisk morning jogs and the wind blowing in my face as I feel the
sun beating on my skin..
I miss my sweatheart, He knows who he is . I miss the spark
in his eyes when we’re together.
The things we take for granted are the things we can appreciate
much more when we are deprived.
Enjoying the View at the Santa Monica Pier in California, Fall 2011 |
I am gradually learning to let go of thing especially, the
things that hold us captive and paralyze us. The biggest one is technology. Let’s
just say that in the last 10 days, if it could happen, it did.
First two days before I flew out from Atlanta, my
Slim-touchscreen personal phone cracked and shattered after it made its way to
the floor. Ordinarily I would SCREAM, be upset, gripe, B**TCH, and lose my cool.
But not in this instance. Nonetheless,
what reason need I be upset? I mean, come to think of it. I have another phone
to use (my work phone of course). Though uncomfortable, It’s still something I
can use. Next I get to the airport and
of course, I had the hardest time finding my battery charger for my camera
& worse, I bought one at the airport and guess what!!!! It didn’t work!
In addition, To Extend my phone’s battery life, I, being
impatient, decided to purchase a juicepack plus for my iPhone & it too was
a LEMON! AHHHH!!!!! , Right?
So here are the Lessons I've learned
Lesson 1: preparation is Key
Lesson 2: Control your Controllables!
Lesson 3: Learn to appreciate
EVERYTHING that you encounter, b/c it too may disappear before you’re able to appreciate
it!
I cannot wait to get back in town as it seems. So day one I
have to find a protective hairstyle that will allow me to still find the joy in
Fitness. It’s been more than a week and I haven’t had a pure sweat moment. It
feels so different. I think it provides me with energy. Next, I realize why I
Love Fruits and Veggies. They’re Natural & keep you regular ( and I mean
that in the most modest way possible). If I’m allowed the time, I will detox
& flush out my system , once again. When it comes down to it, It’s the
balance in life that keeps us in harmony.
I am finding a better way to defend myself when it comes to
being the fitness advocate that I am. Enjoy everything in moderation & don’t
take it for granted! At least this way, when it’s gone, you are left with the
good memories or able to value its importance.
So a week before, I
left my workplace. I was caught in the act of indulging in one of my
weaknesses, LP wings,Lemon Pepper wings. I Love ‘em . I had gone almost ten weeks in moderation and
moreover saw a deficit of 22 lbs…
Come’On!!!!! Gimmee a break!
I had also
lessened the amount of alcohol that had I not been conscious about, wouldn’t
have been party to diminish. So at any rate, the news spread like wildfire. It
was the talk of the entire breakroom. The statement that was made, was a bit
harsh , but I understand how someone would think that way. It was the first
time, this particular individual had seen me eat something that wasn’t healthy.
He said he didn’t even know I was capable of doing that. My response was, “yea,
I eat junk occasionally, but just not on a regular basis”. It’s funny , I laughed
about it , b/c it was silly. He couldn’t believe what he saw that he insisted on taking a
picture for future reference.LOL...
Anyway as I
am shifting my focus to discovering myself on a deeper level, I hope to inspire many or encourage everyone to harvest themselves in the important things in life. let's take this journey together....
Best health wishes as always and happy November, it's a NEW dey, new month and NEW YEAR!......
