Joy.

I'm laying in bed. It's early. There are no sounds except the furnace fan running and the occasional sigh/snore from my blonde furry friend next to me. 

I'm laying here thinking about the past two weeks and how so much has happened in my life. With all the ebbing and flowing of life, I've stayed happy. Steady. Even keel. 

I've thought about this, and I guess why I've stayed steady (which hasn't always been the case- especially the past year) is that I've stayed true to myself. Yes, it helped that I was validated on a few major things in life... but still 😊... I stayed true and believed in me. 

I have tried to look at the open doors and face fears and open up to new people and opportunities. I've had some really great connecting times with people lately. New friends, old friends, my parental units (all of them at the same dinner table was actually quite awesome), exes, and my cousins ..and those connections have been so genuine and full of love, it fills me with joy. 

I have a lot to digest from the past few weeks. A lot. I do believe that when I started looking at the open doors, instead of the closed ones, I found happiness again... Finally. (I'll admit, I was worried about finding it again -2013 sucked).  

I am grateful I found my joy again. When I look around me, I see a lot of pain and sorrow and anger in others journeys. In fact I saw a woman today driving down the road crying, I felt bad for her ...  we've all been there. So I sent her some good energy, I hope it helped her. 

Perhaps if we all start showing compassion vs judgment and shame, this world would be a bit happier and more joyful. At least that's my motto, even when someone pisses me off. 

Peace. Love. Joy.

I'm going to Miami.

In the words of Will Smith, I'm going to Miami!  I've never been, and I'm super excited!!

My buddy Shawn offered up his place to stay if I got myself on a plane... so after toooooo many days in the house and frozen in the polar vortex (#worstwinterever) - I booked a free ticket and today I leave!

I am blessed to know so many awesome people who are so generous. I'm also glad Shawn is a workout God so I can stay working towards my goals whilst in Miami. (And to think this started due to the cancersucks shirt!)

The beach is 6 blocks from his place and I plan to make it my home away from home the next four days while I defrost. 

Cheers to embracing opportunities that present themselves! Remember my earlier post about paying attention to the doors opening vs the ones closing? 
This is one of them! 😃
