just keep coming across cool things

Who wants to vote with me? cause i know that line is going to be long as.....

I'm glad I mentioned a positive lunch break, because it was just that. I expected to go sit in my car and lock myself away from the outside for an hour, but then I ran into Bob Proctor. Bob Proctor, who you may know from The Secret, was doing an interview on kpfk (90.7 in LA, free speech radio, no commercials, and AWESOME). Bob says things like "You are the only problem you will ever have and you are the only solution. Change is inevitable, personal growth is always a personal decision." and "It's the little things you do that can make a big difference. What are you attempting to accomplish? What little thing can you do today that will make you more effective? You are probably only one step away from greatness." Its easier to sing along to Bob Proctor than cry along to whatever is on the normal radio. *cough cough* So I drove myself to my latest healing landmark (next to the beach of course) the book store. A small girl was twirling around the parking lot focused on her doll, but paused for a moment to take her attention up another 3 ft and shoot me a big smile. As if just watching her dance around wouldn't of made me smile. After purchasing the best kind of book (one that an enlightened friend told me I must read) I had another 20 minutes to take in the sunlight, start diving into the pages, in the grass, under a tree. I went to go grab some tea before we got started and there it was....the mack daddy of all lunch break happy things......pumpkin pie. Needless to say life is a little sweeter now.

*now accepting pumpkin pies knowing how common the ups and downs might be and how quick a little thing like pumpkin pie (or my mind) can make a difference.

Thank you friends for being part of the pie

Can't wait until this makes me laugh

I feel like my eyes are the windows of a sinking ship. The water pressure is overwhelming, pushing up against every strong muscle in my face . My tears could wash away the worlds problems, if only I could let them out. I've never been so ready for a lunch break. I just want to go home. Yesterday I was a robot, today I am 100% human.

"Do not apologize for crying. Without this emotion, we are only robots." - from a story I read tonight



- from my camera phone earlier today, while taking a walk, after feeling sad that I was sad.

I always thought LA traffic didn't bother me until...

today. Which is ironic because I was only in the car for about a half an hour, but I noticed that just because I don't get road rage or even mind being in the car doesn't mean it doesn't effect my whole day. All the people, the cars, the stop lights, the accidents, it keeps me from even running errands. My heart rate when Im stuck on hollywood and highland compared to when Im driving by the sea could cause a serious attack. I love that the jams test my patience, but everyday, for years, makes me think I'm going to look back at this time and go "really?".
I love LA. Its full of smart people with their heads on straight. Who understand you have to take care of yourself. Eat healthy, work hard, learn from eachother. Who know proposition 8 shouldn't even be a debate. Cause we know West Hollywood is one of the cleaniest, happiest, gayiest towns in southern california. There are a lot of people here that really want to keep eachother happy. Well traveled, creative, inspiring people, I could go on and on. With that said, I can't wait to live somewhere else. I've learned a lot from this place, a lot about myself, and I'm not done yet. I still may be here for a couple more years, but the day life leads me in a different direction I will jump up and down AND hopefully get myself a beach cruiser. All for my little shack in encinitas by the yoga studio I teach at.

do you think I can get a special hybrid woody made?

cause that would be too cool

I want to work with kids

they make me happy

today I don't feel so good and it's only 9:30. Maybe its because someone stole all my stuff out of my car last night and I'm a little spooked. But I don't really care about that. It just feels like I'm not balanced, somethings not in line, I don't have all my ducks in a row. I'm realizing all to often that I'm stuck in the past or future and it ruins my day. Its hard to not want things to go back to the way they were when it all seemed so perfect. I hate the emptiness in between. I hate trying to be strong when sometimes I just want someone else to have the advice, the wise words. But we're all human. It just seems like deep down we always have the right answers, but this month has made me fear that that isn't true. It's hard not to run away from it all.

a good reminder

This, too, will pass

All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

29 more days!

Between movement
and stillness
comes a perfect moment
when all things
sing together
sun, sky, sea, and sand
and their song
is called Peace.

friday in my room and sunday in the office

I'm doing John Krasinski's makeup on Sunday!(from The Office) mmmm yummy n' funny.

Painting is not easy with a kitten running around, but I'm having a blast changing the place around. There's still a lot to do, but the friends are flowing through so come by and say hi. Its now time to get out of the fumes and go have some fun. (insert *more*) <3

Goodnight

I love you

Leaving Sarah Palin's Woody

~ I hate when I leave something somewhere I would rather not go back

~Im on the set of Eli Stone and on our lunch break I heard the debate coming from every corner of this chilly stage. I only caught a bit, but I did hear Sarah Palin say that innocent people are not getting killed in the middle east, we are building schools for them. phew I was worried.

~ This movie is fantastic! Woody Allen is amazing!

my nights are your mornings. we are living in such different times

war

on Monday my brothers childhood best friend was killed along with 3 other men in a roadside bomb. Before he left on this mission he got to spend a few days with us at our lake house. What seemed like chance quality time now appeared to be a pre-destined goodbye. I learned after spending that time with him that our thoughts toward war are so different. I wanted to find the beauty in "fighting for our country" but I see no beauty in fighting. I know its such a grey area, a touchy subject, but when so many people are dying the answers seem to be black and white. He has a brand new wife and baby. I can't help but to wonder what kind of actions we would be taking if this were going on in our backyards, because this was the first time it really hit home for me and I just want it to be over.
