Finding ways to thread my experiences into relatable and informative material

A bit of a "walking contradiction" so, that's my condition

Live life to love and then... just let live what already is

Cannabis & Coffee Chronicles #1
It's been some time since I last laid down an entry. I am awake, focused, and motivated. For what? Just... to live. To thrive another day without worrying about what I missed or got wrong the day before, but to do better than the day before. Learn from the past to understand and live in the present in order to influence and change the future. That's my motto for the day.

Imperfection: The New Perfection
I recently hung with a dear friend of mine and his family for a day in upstate New York, to get away from the hustle and bustle of New York City. After having a wonderful time out the evening prior, libations and dancing included, I awoke the next day bright and early. I was low in energy, but good enough to wake up with no hangover, acknowledging and thanking myself for my responsible partying. Headaches and nausea are harder to tolerate the older you get, I have learned the hard way.

The Library: A Haven For Self Education, Research & Community
HUMBLE EXPOSURE I remember the day. Very vividly. 1993. I was six years old. My mother brought me and my sister, who is five years younger than me, to the neighborhood library, at that time. I can vaguely visualize the books that I saw my mother picking out. She sat down as she read, and sifted through, from what seemed like mountainous rows of books that looked 10 feet tall, if not more. She had at least 7 to 10 on the table, that I can remember. I was running amok, having fun, and exploring, as much as any six-year-old is allowed in a library. This was a new place of wonder for me and it was massive! Though small in comparison to the coliseum libraries that I'd visit in my lifetime, it seemed as such to a six-year-old.

The Smell of Mortification
I lay on my back, torso elevated, hips thrust towards the ceiling, as I gaze along the ceiling above me… “Allow yourself to let it all out..”, I hear the yoga instructor say in the far-off end of the spacious studio.

The Freedom to Forgive... especially YOURSELF
#ForgivenessFriday #Freedomtoforgive #FreedomFridays I have had only a handful of mentors/mentorships throughout the years, however, this post, in particular, is inspired by a former mentor of mine, and a friend, Adam who actually helped me get my start and entry, so to speak, into the fitness and wellness field, via personal mentorship (check out https://rawlifeyoga.com/). He made a post yesterday of his own, regarding living and acknowledging his own skills, talents while living his most open and honest life. It sparked in me a question in how I could live my own most honest, productive, passionate, and wealthy life, while learning to love myself unconditionally again (and others, just with the right boundaries this time LOL) and live to my best and highest potential.

Yoga, lockdown, and connection
"He'll be here any moment now. Not as if it's a scheduled class", I think to myself. Sure enough, within 60 seconds of that thought, the flashing signal for a guest wanting to enter the room appears, on the lower-left area of the screen. My dear friend, Dale, is linking into the Zoom room that I set up for our impromptu yoga session. I accept the request and let him into the room. He is in his naked glory, which I appreciate, this being a clothing-optional zone and him a naturist at heart. I admire anyone who can be in the comfort of just...being, in any environment. I, myself, am clothed for the respect of the environment in which I am in, my friend and roommate in the next room, me in the living room/common area of the apartment. Nonetheless, Dale and I are both comfortable, in our respective spaces, him being in Austin, Texas and me being in Brooklyn, New York, with the time difference being only an hour.
