H_A: hhhhaaaaaa....

Well here we are again.  Im definitely working on updating my blogs.  So whats been going on this week? So i spoke to my boyfriend about the situation I was having with the dirty roommates.  He said that if i were to say anything to them, I should come from a point of view of neutrality.  I decided until i found neutrality i was not going to say anything.  Its seems as though things are working themselves out.  Ive been talking to everyone else about it that I dont feel as stressed out anymore and the kitchen seems alot alot cleaner than before.  its only been like one day but one day clean is better than no day.  Work has been going along, today I had holiday table training which is awesome! we got to eat ssssssooooooooo much food, i had no desire for dinner or dessert when i got home.  Ive been also going to yoga about 3 days a week which has been fan-tas-tic!! I've definitely have more energy than ive had all year! plus, im starting to notice the change in my body.  I've decided that I need to be more conscious of what im putting in my body and its affect.  I ve learned so far that I am allergic to dairy and bananas! Bananas of all things! well they make me sick when I eat them.  Im trying goats milk which is working great with my body.  I also drink GT's Kombucha 3 times a week which has been alleviating my sugar intake.  I find I do not crave sugar as much as I did 2 weeks ago!

On another note: I would like to say THANK YOU to WEB CAMS! i was able to see my brother and mother back east! I havent seen them in months! I miss them a lot, especially my brother! We have such a good time together! I really miss him! I know he would absolutely love SF if he gave it the opportunity.  We connected through Google Chat which was awesome! Hopefully we can start by doing it a once a week ritual or something.

Now on to a problem Ive been personally dealing with the past couple of years, my skin.  All through high school, I had beautiful skin, no pimples or scars!  Then the summer I graduated high school, i decided to get on BC because my boyfriend at the time suggested that i get on them.  Well ever since my face has gotten worse.  I got off bc a month later but my face never never recovered.  I ve been working with my diet but nothing seems to change.  I became a Vegan for 3 years.  Now I am a compassionate omnivore.  Anyways, Ive tried proactive: nada!, washing my face every night: nada.  Now i find myself trying to figure out whats wrong with my face! is it the weather? stress?, excessive heat?, liver Qi?  Im using the Skin Organics line by Ann Webb.  Hopefully this will remove my acne blues away!   Well just got out of Yoga class and must shower!

Bitter Melon

Im back again and hopefully I will continue to speak to you.  We'll our move was a successful trip! Filled with much laughter, dancing, and driving! New Orleans was a blast!

Thats me with Panchito!








Texas took forever to get out of, really 2 days. I had no idea Texas was that big!  Someone said to me "The trip feels so much longer when its day 2 and your still in Texas"  We headed straight to San Diego after Texas! Spent a few days with my boyfriend's brother and his wife.  That was sweet! Then met up with our roommate Tommy! in Venice Beach! Awesome time in Venice well mainly at the Whole Foods there.  Finally, drive up home to Frisco! I absolutely love it here.  The weather is great! Its like NYC fall all the time. Windy and cool and sometimes very hott!.

I can definitely say I miss home.  All of my family is in Atl.  My boyfriend and I are the only ones here.  He's pretty much all I have here.  Its nice because I get to start my own family with him and build together.  Which is exactly what my intentions were but missing my family is still part of it.  Even though  we get into minor arguments, my love for him grows deeper.  We'll be together for a year in december! Its beautiful how loves comes when its unexpected! I wasn't looking for it but I desire it.

Its great to be in SF.  There's just so many things out here especially in health and spirituality.  Ive decided to join the Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Center. It's great there! I feel like Im home, spiritually.  Funny thing that I joined Bnei Baruch, coincidentally, my environment has gotten slightly hostile.  Not because of my boyfriend but our roommate and his company.  Our roommate brings this girl he's dating to spend who knows how many # of days with us without consenting us at all!  Its not like we would have been opposed to this she's a "nice" girl.   My home is my sanctuary, I dont want people there that I dont know are coming or know at all. I dont know what our roommate told her but she's gotten very comfortable in our home.  Its not your place to leave your shoes around in the kitchen nor your plugged hairdryer in the bathroom nor setting up your toiletries in our bathroom.  This may seem petty but we werent told how long she's staying over.  Quite honestly, if we were consented first, I wouldnt have minded her stay, if she truly needed one.  The thing is though, she says she's doesnt want to be in a relationship with our roommate and is ready to pack her bags and go anywhere.  Yet how is it that you move back to a city and not have a home stay in? or even consider staying at the place of the man you dont really want to be with? I really am working with my ego.  I may not like her because  maybe i see an ex quality of myself that i didnt like in her.  Maybe a territorial(ego) thing, I dont know her, why is she in my home.  I am as pleasant as can be.  If anyone is reading out there..help find a different perspective. Maybe things arent as cut and dry as i believe they are to be.

Tick-Tock

It has definitely been a wonderful ride. I would love to do a recap but 2 years is a bit far for a recap. Besides, i cant keep up with my life that far back. Lets see, since I posted things have changed. Has been much more like capitalistic ride; nonetheless, much learning.

Now we are here, on May 27th, 2010, sitting on the couch at my dad's Kennessaw apartment babysitting my younger brother. I would have never thought that the actual day would come where I would be moving to California but , god willing about a month from now I will be on my way there. I would have never thought that the acual day would come where I'd meet a man who i would be head over heals for.
Now, I find myself in this position at this very moment. Looking forward to manifesting destiny with him. Building a home with him.

I love how small the world is. The past year my life has been blessed with the people ive met. The best part of this is that most of my friends know each other in different ways.

David and I have this one mutual friend who we know by 2 separate occasions. I met Jason at Whole Foods while he was doing a demo and David met him at school.

This is Jason.

Jason is married to a lovely Japanese girl named Maiko

Well turns out that Maiko is friends with a girlfriend of mine named Desiree who is Bahai. They were on the same dance team at UGA.
(this is her and i getting down at my 21st bday fiesta!)
I met Desiree because of my girlfriend Tandeka who is Bahai, i met her in a public speaking class at school.

Well then, Tandeka knows Jason because of magical mondays meetings that Bahai's do. and of course Desiree and Jason know each other because of being Bahai.

So there, life has been pretty grand since ive met these people. Well Im getting myself together for the move. Looking forward to meeting more great people! We're planning ( god willing) to move to San Francisco. (Gosh, I know its so expensive there) We'll see, I live life serendipitously. Sadly, this narcissistic update must come to an end but surely I am serious that I will try to keep and update on the trip up and adventures to come. By the way, I am serious, but dont call me Shirley.
