strengths and weaknesses

I have always been the type of girl to jump right in. I am not shy. I do not hold back. . . most of the time anyhow. I often feel that I am more ahead of my game than I should. . .this is both a strength and a weakness as it encourages me to rush through the moment I am at to the point and goal I initially perceived. This is quite possibly the mindset that allowed me to reach through my differences growing up, to see beyond them and move past them, before they entirely paralyzed me. However, its also the same mentality that skips the "journey" part of each lesson and task. Which is not the best idea. . . like i am so not into starting at beginner level things. . . even when I am in fact. . .a beginner. Then i get to the end and dont know these basic elementary points. . . and its because. . .duh duh duh!! I skipped them all. Silly girl.

Soooo Im just taking a moment to own up to that as it washed over me yesterday and i was quite enlightened by it. . and realized that i need to put more work into the moment. . . into most moments. . so as my talents and strengths grow i will be present for the work it took to get ther and in the end will have a fuller, richer, and more long lasting impression.

Much love and creation~

swimming in mucous

standing swaggering starry eyed and dizzy on the busy street corner stragling myself to work. The mucous mostly mistifies me mocking oxygen and taking its place.

Strategically stumbling slowly thru morning rush hour traffic, myself and my lovely chest cold drag ourselves to work.

opportunities pass unseen, promotions handed onward past me, i continue to show up and report for duty despite how fooey i feel.

sabatcles stain my future vision with travel in light of this morning commute.

spirtual enlightenment requires foreign shores of mist and beauty. yes how truely i feel.

may your work day be more savored than mine today.

Trials and tribulations of a working professional and a techno fairy

what to do what to do when you cant do both at the same time or the latter doesnt pay enough to pay your loans.

First Flurries

First flurries flutter freely from the sky. Buildings stand tall as the individual flakes float and fly in swirls down the streets.

Yay Winter!

Coconut. . is the answer

But what is the question you may ask. .. EVERYTHING.

I dont depend a lot on product. .. .but every winter since moving to the east coast I have always treated myself to the nicest facial moisturizer I can find. . to avoid my face becoming reptilian and peeling away from the dryness.

This year. . the product was 10.99 came in a jar of 16 ounces and is organic and natural. . It is virgin coconut oil!!

I use it in my hair like hair mud, i use it all over my body as lotion, i use it in my mac n cheese as a butter subsititute. I drink coconut water to feel refreshed and hydrated and it really is the best thing these days i have decided.

During WW II and still to this day in countries where necessary medical equipment is in short supply they use coconut water intravaneously.

"The researchers report that coconut water is high in potassium, chloride, and calcium, and might be indicated in situations calling for increases in these electrolytes. So even though money doesn't grow on trees, medical supplies sometimes do."

So if you are ever pondering the answer. . . know that perchance it truly is COCONUT!!

fall

Wow I was walking to work today and the orange fall leaves on the ground were spray painted red. So cool.
