So here I am...

...I've decided to make one of my dreams a reality and it is proving to be extremely challenging, even before I get started.  As I gather information from friends, family and the world wide web it feels as if I'm moving further and further away.  I have started with the attitude of pushing through all the obstacles and difficulties of this, and it is proving to be quite the challenge.

Will I have enough money to invest?  Will I be able to do this well?  Will I give people what they need and want or just what I think they do?  Thoughts and ideas race through my mind.  At this point, there is no turning back for me.  If I don't do this, someone else will and I will kick my self for the rest of my life and grow into a bitter old woman.  

The dream to bring together a community, to translate between the lines, to inform and educate.  Why should it be this hard?  I guess if it was easy, everyone would be doing it.  Thinking I could do it all by myself was silly, but now I know.  Less motivated people have accomplished more.  I will do this, I can do this!

So here it is, the time when everything will be decided and it is now that I will break through my first obstacle that is my mind and my will. Where to start?  I've spent the last three days reading through articles on the internet, and today I know more than I did then.  Still, it doesn't feel like it's enough.  

Next step.....get some advice from the professionals, the people who have made the mistakes and learned from them.  I'm sure I will have to learn through my own mistakes, however maybe I can bypass the ones they've made.  I think it's a good place to start.

Seja o que Deus quiser!!

Do more yoga...

First time in months doing yoga and seeing my friend Jenna yesterday.  I had heard of emotions pouring out of you during some poses of yoga, however had never experienced it this way; I cried. 

**I interrupt this blog to say that I don't care what Professor Parke Junkle has mumbled. I much rather believe the Babylonian whom developed their reasoning and rationality beyond empirical observation. I was born a Virgo and will die one!**

I believe yoga will give me enough strength and confidence to follow my own path.  With so many interruptions and distractions, it is hard for a girl to keep focus.  I am finally out of my funk!  Chin chin to evolving into a better me and learning from my experiences.  Raising above and actually doing what I say and not just saying what I do; taking the bad and transforming it into something amazing.  I have seen plenty evil to where weakness can no longer surround me.  I can see clearly now and I am moving with arms wide open, regardless of the pinches.  Such only serve to keep me awake and to show me the way.  Wake up!  Open your eyes!  Life is running by and it's easy to miss it.  I am turning my head and stopping whenever it feels right, slowing down in order to see.  No longer trying to keep up but making it at my own pace.

Green means go!

When it happens more than once, you have to start wondering and ask yourself if the entire town of Pacific Beach is out of it.  Today while trying to make a left at the signal I got stuck behind a car that just sat there on a green light.  It didn't happen once, or twice--it happened three times in one day!!  Nothing annoys me more than slow drivers and people who just aren't paying attention while operating a vehicle.  Therefore, move out of my way!  This Jersey girl has places to be and people to see.

A hopeful day

Finally deciding to start my exercise routine this week to help me get out of the house, today I went for a walk with my new friend Tracy and her new baby Olive in my new neighborhood in Pacific Beach, San Diego.  Two hours later, and a new sense of direction for where the beach stood in relation to my house, I found myself extremely hopeful and an e-mail with a new job opportunity upon our return.  Starting to feel like myself again and hopeful that my motivation is back for good this time.  So here it is, my own blog and something I’ve wanted to do for years.  A place where I can express my thoughts, opinions and excersize my love for writing without restraint; not that I have much of it when it comes to speaking my mind anyway.  I have a feeling this will produce less sporadic Facebook statuses and a more productive me.  Here goes nothing!  Literally, Nua = nude in Portuguese—my mother language ;).
