Hibernation

hi·ber·nate  (hbr-nt)

intr.v. hi·ber·nat·ed, hi·ber·nat·ing, hi·ber·nates

1. To pass the winter in a dormant or torpid state.

2. To be in an inactive or dormant state or period.

So I am hibernating. At Least...that's what it feels like I am doing...

I guess I could say I effectively started Jan. 1

Could go on until almost the end of June!

Depends.

On What?

My Mood.

My Career.

My Weight + Size.

My Health.

My Monies.

My Friends.

My Spiritual Bond with God.

My Family.

My Goals.

My Schooling.

My Businesses.

Basically Life in General.

Don't worry... Its not a bad thing. Well... today it's not.... not really. 

Those of you that really know me... or have known me more then a few years might worry.

But I think we all should hibernate once a year. Use it as a self reflection time.

Am I sad? 

Eh. A little. 

Will I get over it?

Eh.

OF COURSE!

*carry on...

I Miss You ATL

DMV....

You made me.
I grew - learned - shared - became: an adult with you.
Even you bmore* you hold a special 6 year spot in my heart...

But ATL..5 great years..
I learned how to become an adult on my own, 600+ miles from the adults that raised me
You Taught me how to live a lifestyle of struggle...something I never had to do..
You Taught me how to love and be loved and fall deep in ...Lust
& You Taught me how to EntreprenU ....

Oh and of Course how to party with the best of them!!!! 
You were and are so warm.

DMV you are.... well...
sometimes cold, a bougie onyx most times, political, over achieving 24/7 and SOOO expensive
but you are Home.

Are you my home?
Hmm.

So today my weds blog imaginary friends...I must blog about Weight Loss & Inches Diminishing and what that has to Mean for me. And possibly you too!

It's a Lifestyle Change.

That's right push forward and start to make baby step changes that are part of a tangible process you can hold on too and not turn back. Developing plans or ways your going to add cardio/toning via weights in a gym or at home to each day or at least 6 of your days weekly that will remain consistent. Altering eating habits that should have long sense been changed...drinking habits too!
Write it down. Research. Make an appointment with your doctor to set some goals. Seek out a Dietitian/Nutritionist/Personal Trainer and talk with them about your hopes.
Download an app to your phone that helps you keep track and remind you daily.
Banish people in your life that aren't about a similar lifestyle or there to support you.
Pray on it, talk to your Spiritual Guide to ask for assistance in this change.
Change the food kept in your house, office, car. Get Sleep needed. Keep up stress free activities.
Blog about it. Tweet about it. 
Whatever you do don't settle for statements that will come to your brain; lips like "I can't" "Its too hard"

If your already on this path...help encourage me!!! I need it!
If your skinny and think this isn't for you, guess what it might be! A lot of skinny people are also out of shape with bad health and eating habits.

This is my rant for the day. So it has become my Wednesday blog.
Thanks Again for sharing a space in my brain. :)

Routine

Consistency
Routines
Schedules

Yield

ORGANIZATION.

Outside of me being a Virgo born from two Virgos one of the things I have learned in my 30's is that without consistent day to day routines and schedules between my 9-5 positions time periods:
KAOS is the only thing that happens in my life...monday thru friday...

Did you know you can schedule Fun?
Showers?
Eating?

If it helps you... do it!
Guess what I like...tasks/to-do lists... that I can check off when done.
I also know about myself I am a little OCD... (this is genetic)
& my ADHD thrives off of KAOS.

Let's see if I can get back to weekly wednesday blogs scheduled in my weekly wednesday tasks.
</END.

RECOVERy

Change is inevitable. 
Suffering is sometimes needed.
Loss is almost always experienced in a lifetime.
 Let-Down occurs often.
Mistakes are actions worth growing from.


How do you ReCover?

I want to say I allow myself a few minutes to be depressed....
Then comes ReFlection time...
Somewhere after that a lesson is learned and stored away in my mental.
Then I am up on my feet on to the next milestone of life or everyday livin'...

If ..we all.. woke up every single day and said to ourselves in the mirror...
"Self - there is a good chance something you would not like to happen to you -- will happen today."
"But! Irregardless if it does - YOU WILL RECOVER."
Recovery Might not be so Hard.

Peace Gods & Goddesses

***POOF

Supporting Your Own

At What Cost?

How many of us start each day off thinking about ourselves?
Its only natural right?
Especially folks without loved ones they live with or are responsible for?
Unless there were lingering thoughts from the night before...

Everyday I hope that I stop and think about how I can help my community
Whether its a young man or woman, boy, or girl
Sometimes our elderly, or mature and wise in age
But then I stop and Consider the Cost...
Can I afford too?

It's difficult at times determining which path to take
1. The road where we tunnel vision - focus - on building ourselves to be the best we can be so we can financially, mentally, spiritually, and via our own influence and connections be able to help someone with less then what we have... How long will it take to become that powerhouse?
OR
2. Where we stop at every open hand, every friend/old foe/cousin and kin to share wealth, knowledge, care & concern, earned/networked: connects'... then don't look back, just pray and hope...

I think the individuals I take pride in knowing and make me smile THE MOST!...
Are the ones of us that smile, extend, give, share, help with not one inch of hesitation of "Will this benefit Me"... and even when!!!!! It is not recieved in a grateful form or smiled back upon, or maybe even spit on...they smile in stride...That Child of God.... will stay blessed.

Consistency Myrica is Killing Spontaneous Myrica

One of my Failed New Years goals for 2012... Consistency!

How does one live in the world of fun, new, exciting, spontaneity and still spawn structure?
I haven't figured it out yet.
YOU should be able to tell that though.
If you are one of my readers you know that I can't even produce my weekly weds blog every weds!

But the part that pains me is... consistency or ...the ability to be consistent, stares me right in the face.
It's reachable.
Fully attainable by me at most times. 
But I pass by it... ignore it.. opt for the "new"...or "unknown"...

Here comes the grown up insert folks ... wait for it...
"When I end up being spontaneous and avoid my consistent mature/responsible plan or action of the day, in the end ...it wasn't really worth it".
#sigh
It's true. 

Whoever invented schedules, daily goals, rules for one self during the work week....
Definitely knew what they were doing. 
They probably realized that their whole life was wasting away on 
..."FUN!", "NEW!", "SPONTANEOUS!"
All the while they were ending each day, week, month with nothing to show for it.. 

Who wants to Die that way?
Not me!!!!!
