The Power of the Secret


You are God in a physical body. You are Spirit in the flesh. You are Eternal Life expressing itself as you. You are a cosmic being. You are all power. You are all wisdom. You are all intelligence. You are perfection. You are magnificent. You are the creator, and you are creating the creation of you on this planet.
On my sweet iPhone I have this great app, i get a daily teaching from The Secret. It is truly amazing how just a change in the way you think can overall have an effect on what is happening in your life. Try it, it has been working for me.

Reflection

Friday January 29.... I sit alone at a Gelato Bar & Espresso Caffee sipping on warm earl grey tea, reflecting on a empowering yoga class, and looking out the window watching others enjoying the sunlight and one another's company.
In these moments of life I can not help but ponder deeply about my own , and realize how grateful I am to be soaking in these breathes of life. Being away from Utah and living on my own in an unfamiliar city, has taught me to OPEN my eyes. I had every luxury possible at home, I had the greatest friends on this plant, that could never and will never be replaced. I had a supportive family, who provided more than I could ask for. I had the best dance training and facility, offering me endless possibilities. I even had a boyfriend that has always been there for me. I had my life set and it all would have worked out and I would have been happy settling there. But that is the thing, I would be settling. I wanted more, I wanted an adventure, I wanted a change, I wanted to feel uncomfortable and scared. I also realize that I say I I I I... and maybe its selfish, But for once I am thinking only about myself. This is my chance to live my life the way I want to. I came here with not knowing what to do when I wake up, in fact what to do all day. I was a lost puppy, with one intention and that was to be independent and start living. Everyday I am here it is a challenge and it does get hard and I am constantly dealing with the next trial God presents to me. But at the end of the day that it takes all of bad to make the good, without all this I wouldn't be truly living. Testing your strength only makes you stronger, I know that I made the right decision moving out here and I know that I am growing because of it everyday. I am happy with the person I am becoming and loving learning about myself and seeing what I am capable of doing.

some inspiration


Due to the movie Julie and Julia, I personally have received an abundance of inspiration. For instance the character "Julie" that Amy Adams portrays is going through a time in her life where everything is kind of a mess and she struggles with commitment.. so there I found something similar in both of us, and she commits to following every recipe in the Julia Child cookbook and blog about it.
Not only did I just become a fan of this personal blogging business, I have also found a new love of cooking, and am recently following the Glamour One-Week Healthy Detox Meal plan, which is challenging me to prepare 3 meals a day for 7 full days. So after 180$ at whole foods, I was determined!
Today I successfully made delicious Turkey Chili http://www.glamour.com/bbg/2010/turkey-chili. * just a quick tip, do not forget to defrost your turkey before putting it in the pan of sizzling oil! hahaha.. thats why I am doing this, learning new things everytime!
The last bit of inspiration I received from this movie was the acceptance speech from the remarkable Meryl Streep on Sunday at the Golden Globes, winning best actress! The humble speech and gratitude she felt and the reference to her mother, assured me why I am in this business and that there is great role models who truly love and completely invest in their passion and deliver wonderful performances!

Step 1

Its official I am no longer a Blogger Virgin! Now what to say... I was thinking since it is a new year and new start to many adventures and experiences, it would be exciting to share it all with none other than the public creepers of the internet of course haha. I want my blog to be a fun, inspiring reflection on the complicated, insane and wonderful life that I am living.
