every season is me season 2

  “I can do nothing for you but work on myself... you can do nothing for me but work on yourself!”

― Ram Dass, Be Here Now

As mentioned I rushed at the end of "every season is me season", not on purpose, but in order to make my workout on time. The work out was great! I pushed a little further than the days before, unfortunately I did not do the stairs as I thought I'd be driving a lot today. I did not think of a title until the end when I decided to bring the expression to an end for above said reasons. Typically, some people announce their "me season" around their birthday; suggesting that they are focused on themselves and their projected goals or plans for their new age. However, I believe "me season" should be year around. Giving room to grow, unlearn things which are no longer serving our highest good along with any health (mental, physical, spiritual, emotional), wellness or other type of goals. 

When thinking on the things shared in the above mentioned expression, my interpretation is about self-care, self-love and the like. Being that we are all the main characters of our lives, it is up to us to embrace, enhance and evolve into the greatest version of ourselves as possible. That's what I mean when I say, "every season is me season".  I needed that rest on Sunday as well as Monday, my body feels rejuvenated and my mind has a clarity which allowed me to complete the majority of my coursework in record time. As plans for today were cancelled, I took the opportunity to workout, run errands, complete coursework and rest.

Embracing my natural hair I've found a style that works for me and I have been proudly being myself (natural hair and nails). Although, it's a simple style; I feel as if it makes me look younger and as I continue to shed unwanted pounds I feel as if I am beginning to see the girl in myself that I've missed for so long. Back in the day when I was running and walking 5 miles per day and hiking at Runyon Canyon, I felt and looked my best. Since all of the trauma surrounding anxiety and such I've seemed to have lost sight of her for so many years, due to the center of my focus being my mental health. I feel as if I can come up for air, not saying I do not battle these issues yet 11 years in, I've learned how to navigate myself in times of distress and appreciate times of happiness. 

As the quote says: :  “I can do nothing for you but work on myself... " , contently working on myself for the past 11 years I am finally learning to understand to accept the good days and tend to myself as necessary on the not so good days. As I contemplate having a cocktail in a bit of a celebration for the progress I have made and continue to make. I am not sure yet so I'll allow time to tell. In other news, not much else is going on that I'd like to share. Taking a day off from the workout tomorrow, the intention is to get the necessary rest required to continue for Thursday seeing that I am unavailable to workout on Friday. I may go on Saturday or Sunday which will make a consistent 3-4 days this week (depending if I go Saturday or Sunday). 

Awaiting dinner, I think this is a good place to bring this expression to a close. Before I do, I'd like to say "Thank you" for accompanying me on my various journeys as I am learning to navigate this thing called life. I appreciate you all for "riding" with me...

let's work it out

I was hesitant to share this, but what good would that do in documenting my story if I were not honest?  Approximately 2016, I did not love myself very much; I was unhappy with various aspects of my life and began to make poor physical health decisions. Including beginning smoking cigarettes and other unhealthy habits regarding meal choices. Although I wrote on the blogs a few times, once on the first blog which was entitled "Getting Over vs. Going Through"  this post was so vague I hardly remember what I was getting over, well I do know what I was attempting to get over, but I barely recall what I was going through. After a few months of self-care and self-love I wrote an expression titled "The Moon, My Soul & Love: An Introduction"   by spending so much time and effort on my mental health due to the conditions I found myself with I had neglected by body and now I am reaping the outcome of that. Not as a punishment, but as a reality of what happens when a perso

 "don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. unfold your own myth." Rumi Since disclosing my diagnosis and treatment plan I find many people have been supportive while others have been distant and few have shared their experiences or the experiences of loved ones, which are appreciated. I will be beginning chemotherapy this week and I will admit, I am scared and nervous; I don't know what to expect and although most side effects are common knowledge I am uncertain of how my being will respond to such treatments. I wish I could fast forward this year yet another part of me wants to cherish each moment and "make them count" for whatever reason. I recognize this is simply a stage along my journey, then the thought of where the journey leads comes to mind. As time passes by I am unsure of this journey I find myself on, perhaps the destination is where my spirituality leads me? I recall some time in 2013 I believe, I had a sort of awakeni

desire

- a longing or craving, as for something that brings satisfaction or enjoyment. dictionary Initially I was going to write something for my lover; I decided against it however, I thought of another aspect of desire to share with you. Monday was the first day of my last Fall courses along with my return to fitness. My desire has become a healthy body and a few other private goals, so beginning these enhancements has come to bring enjoyment to my life. I began my fitness journey by walking a little over a mile; I intend to gradually increase the distance. I walked again Tuesday, staying consistent with my "little over a mile" I find myself impressed with the fact that I walked, almost nonstop with no music. A friend and I have taken two "trails" thus far, walking, talking sometimes while silent other times. The plan is to use an app called "All Trails" and choose various trails to "hike" about three times per week, choosing different trails pre
