Back by popular demand!! (Okay, maybe a few people asked) My Thoughts for the Day: NEW YAWK 11/17/14 Oh man! Its been forever since Ive written one of these. So much has happened. Well, my subway stories are about the same. Somebody always yelling, someone else staring, somebody talking to themselves, somebody stinking, and people pushing and shoving. About the best part of my commute these days is that I dont have to knock anyone over for a seat anymore and they put wifi in more stations. That, of course, has kept me from writing and reading on my commutes because I HAVE to scroll through my newsfeed that I was just scrolling through from my bed, the living room, in the elevator, along my walk, and waiting for the train. Yes, Shari - perhaps reading the 4 books youve started might be something you might want to consider. You can check your social media when you get to work. Oh, and at Starbucks and the walk to Starbucks and the elevator ride up to the office. Yeah, reading might be a good idea. My new website is up and running! So excited to have a home for ME. All of my videos, my writings, my book (plural soon when I get off social media), my background story, my speaking and coaching, etc. Yes! Mine, mine, mine. You can come over and play, though! ;) The new website,of course, has caused another obsession. Constantly checking the traffic on it, the responses, all the basic analytics. Yup. Another thing to scroll through. Lol. Maybe I should just get a computer chip installed in me so my brain can just pull up the info when I need it because with all of this wasted energy used on scrolling, I could be exercising. Speaking of exercise, that hasnt changed either. Still imagining doing it. Fall arrived here in NYC! I get to wear scarves, hats, and boots!! The whole reason I was so excited to move here. And as quickly as it arrived, its 27 degrees this week and possibility of snow later in the week. Hmmm. That wasnt what I imagined. Planning my move back to LA. Yes, and as quickly as I arrived here, Im going back to the City of Angels. This time, Im bringing John back with me. Willing or unwilling. Hes being tied down. Oh, and Hershey, our kitty! Hes coming too. :) I love new beginnings. The community center I was working part time for has temporarily closed its doors. Im putting in more hours over in the archives dept. Still recording dead people in the database but Ive moved from the early 1700s to the mid 1800s. Back to finding out causes of death too, which is always fun. Still amazes me that people died from a diarrhea. That seems like a crappy way to go. Ba da bum. (Ill stick to inspiration.) Still doing my MINUTE MOTIVATIONS which have been so fun and really getting out there! Ive been doing video blogs since myspace days and its nice to see my message finally get out there in a much bigger way and do the work they are intended to do. The thing is, I know that my intention behind my work is a lot different. First off, its about helping others, not me. Its not about receiving accolades to make me feel better. Its sifting through the comments to find out who it is actually reaching and helping. That was a HUGE breakthrough for me I experienced a few months ago. I cant stop writing. I dont even care what Im wiring right now, but it just feels so good to spew my thoughts out. I was going to say that hopefully they are making some sort of sense, but we are talking about me and Im so random so no expectations from me there. Lol The guy next to me keeps clearing his throat to pull up phlegm. I dont know who is going to yack first - him or me. John and I still bicker. We are so different and most days it works, and some days it doesnt. But we are committed to working on it so its worth all the work. And I love him. :) Picture Edward Scissorhands but without his Scissorhands. Thats who is sitting across from me on the train. All the lessons I learned last summer (2103) on my solo adventure in Italy, Im being tested on. Stillness. Beingness. Worthiness. Triggers are coming up and for a moment, I get pushed, but then that discomfort rises within me and I have learned what does and doesnt feel good within me and then Im able to recognize what is happening and take the steps necessary to release it. Its a beautiful thing to witness. Interesting though that most feel that those that are happy have no problems or issues. Happiness comes from knowing that I can face anything and that Ill be okay. Im still human and I still live in this same physical world with all the same experiences as everyone else. Loss, sadness, frustration, etc. I just have learned to understand them and not be afraid of them. I lesson their power by giving them the space they need to express themselves. Its pouring outside and just got on the subway. Everyone smells like wet dogs on here except the guy next to me. I think he mightve pooped his pants. Check out my new website and share it with the world! Ill love you forever and ever. We can be B.F.F.s. ;) Time to go fool my boyfriend into thinking I know how to cook. (Lots of spices and cover everything in cheese)
