A poem I wrote on my flight to HK..

Music sings comfort to my ears

I should have nothing to fear

 

Passing time

I still cilmb

 

Even though I have moments of doubt

 

I come back to my belief

in something higher than myself

 

that I'm destined to be

Something I don't know

but my fate will show...

Recognize yourself...

So I was taking my ybb class tonight and while I was meditating my teacher made a really great point. It's so easy to be grateful for all the people we have in our life but it can get really difficult to recognize and appreciate yourself. 


Just remembering that people are grateful for me was a really empowering feeling so think about what you have to offer in this world and embrace it! 


 As of tomorrow,  I'll be traveling alone for the first time across the world and will be in a city where I know no one Although it frightens me, I know that it will only help me grow. I spoke to my cousin tonight and he couldn't have said it better..., "It's like hitting two birds with one stone" Meaning that this trip will not only develop my professional career but my personal growth as well =)

A Day of Thanks..

I'm thankful for  a lot of things today; Just to name a few: god, my family, friends, love, my health, my creativity, my freedom, my ability to exercise and dance, the clothes I have on my back, the roof over my head and this feeling of satiation I have =)


I just finished eating dinner with my dad and brother and I feel like the real turkey now!! I cooked the stuffing while my brother took care of the rest. Thank god for him otherwise Denny's would have been next on our list.  The ham came out really well and my stuffing was uhh,... lets just say butter makes things taste a lot better than they should!


Today has been a really good day. I woke up early and rushed to the studio to take a couple of classes and took one of my favorite classes, world beat workout! The teacher is amazing and it's unreal how much energy and happiness she exudes. I want to be like her!  She inspires me to dance and I have been dancing all throughout the day.  I never realized how much of a dancer I am at my core and how happy it makes me. I've finally found something that is so in line with my spirit!


 It's amazing how much life teaches you if you're open to trying new things and putting yourself out there... :)


I have a feeling I'm going to be learning a lot over the next few months... 


Stay tuned!

A little poetry

Fighting
     will ruin our flying
Believing
     will keep us going

Faith
     Don't hate

Wish upon a star
It's not that far

Just be who you are..

What awaits..

So here I am packing for my three month excursion to Hong Kong and I'm beginning to wonder if I can really fit all my stuff into these two large duffel bags that sit besides me.  I have till Saturday to pack and these bags are almost full! ha, this will be one of many challenges to come... 


The highlight of my day was receiving my first real modeling book! I actually feel like a real, professional model now =)


Had lunch with a dear friend of mine and it's always nice catching up with her. Just had dinner with my dad and brother and had my last Japanese meal here =( Fortunately, I savored every bite! We listened to holiday tunes on the radio and I freakin love holiday music and the feeling around the holidays. I'll miss it while I'm away along with the company of my family.


Everything is slowly starting to come together for my trip and although I'm nervous and a little scared, I am also excited for the possibilities that await. Starting Sunday at 12:40 am a new chapter in my life begins...
