I Heard or Read It… April 1, 2011

Somewhere along the way I heard or read these quotes, and I have never forgotten them. Everyone should have these in their head. They provide some great guidelines…
” …do not allow other’s bad behavior dictate how you behave…”
” …people may not remember exactly what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel…”

What keeps me on my toes these days are all the things I have experienced, learned, read, and heard for many years. Through my own life experiences as well as other’s experiences, I have learned some invaluable lessons. There is no way to achieve joy, comfort and peace without having integrity, serving and taking care of yourself, and creating clear boundaries. I am responsible for myself. I am responsible to create a life that is worthy of celebration, everyday. I am also in charge of my personal boundaries. I have learned that I cannot create happiness for anyone else, and no one else can create happiness for me. I can add happiness to someone’s life and vice versa. I love that I have the choice each and every day to make it a happy and peaceful day. I have also realized that it is certainly healthy to have sad days, and I embrace those days with love. I learn a lot from those sad days; they seem to bring forth great insight and a sense of rejuvenation. It is almost as if the universe is saying ” hey, you need to slow down, rest, and go into deep thought.” I am incredibly grateful for my intuition, and have an enormous amount of respect for it. I know my relationship with God creates an abundance of peace within, but it also fosters my intuition, so I listen very carefully.
So, these days, I am all about embracing my intuition, living a life full of integrity, and respecting my own boundaries as well as others. I may have some missteps along the way, but I know how to get back on track, and that is the best feeling, ever! I have trust and confidence in myself to create a celebrated life; the life I have always desired.

I’ve been under the weather so it has been a very relaxing spring break, so far. I am going to visit my mom tomorrow then its off to Santa Barbara on Saturday, yay!
This week I have seen so many movies since I have been in bed most of the time. Well, except for laundry, a bit of organizing and grabbing a bite to eat here and there….
Here are my personal critiques of the films I watched this week…Gotta love the red box! Plus, I have my blockbuster online account, too. I am never without film. Life is grand.
Hachi - sweet, but if you do not like to cry ( a lot) do not watch this sweet little film. It is based on a true story from Japan 1930′s. I love dogs, so after seeing the trailer last night, I ran out this morning and grabbed it. Yes, I have already watched it. Richard Gere is sweet with the doggy:)
An Education – soooo good. The actress is adorable with the most lovely accent. It took a couple of interesting turns that I was not expecting…always love that. Very good acting. Good story.
Bright Star – uuuuhhhh I wouldn’t recommend it, unless, you are a great fan of Keats. It was simply ,so-so, at best.
Brothers- it was good. They didn’t take it too far. I liked that because they could have gone over the top with a certain relationship and they didn’t. It is worth the rental. It moved rather fast in the first act and part of the second, but I understand why they had to do it that way. Good acting, of course.
Inglorious Basterds – ok dont hunt me down and kill me….this film was not for me. The acting was great. end of story for me. No, I just couldn’t get into it because I had to turn my head too many times. Gross parts!!! Great film for a guy to watch!
When Harry Met Sally – hahaha yeah I hadn’t seen it since it first came out! It was like watching a brand new film. Sooooooo Good! But you already knew that.
Did you Hear About The Morgans – decent rental. Cute moments. Typical romantic comedy. Boy and Girl are married but separated, they get into a situation where they are forced to be with one another….they re-kindle their love….have an issue….live happily ever after….a few cute one- liners…I cleaned my room while I watched it, really.
I am getting ready to go rent New York, I love You…looks interesting…
I’m still reading 740 Park…it’s long!
I am almost done with A Return To Love
I am going to read this sweet little short novel over the weekend called The Best Place To Be…yes, another story that takes place in New York. I am obsessed, I know. Watch, one day I will live there.
Oh new show you gotta see! “Who Do You Think You Are” very cool show about ancestors and geneology….each episode takes one person on an interesting journey tracing their roots. Each guest is a well-known person. They have done Sarah Jessica Parker (IT WAS GOOD) , Emmitt Smith (another goody), Lisa Kudrow (she is actually exec prod), Brooke Shields (omg so interesting, too) oh and Matthew Broderick (I adore him just like his wifey)…this Friday’s episode is Susan Sarandon and it looks really good! Spike Lee is coming up, too…
No Embarrassment or Shame? April 7, 2010

What kind of woman is so PROUD to have not only slept with a married man, but also having had an extended affair with a married man that she shows her face in magazines (like Vanity Fair!), sell your story, write books with details of your affair…and so on??? seriously, Is there no shame? No embarrassment? I mean, seriously, it’s bad enough to be in a state of such low self-worth to even go there (the affair itself), but to then tell the world about it !? Aren’t you embarrassed for your family if not for yourself? Instead of asking the married man for an apology you need to be looking within and asking yourself what you need to do to ensure you do not go down this road again. This is a time for self exploration and self discovery: hopefully, so that you are to become a better and happier woman… This is not a time to exploit yourself. Very sad. Your 15 minutes of fame will end, quickly. I hope you save what everyone is paying you so that you can secure a very good therapist. I also hope that when you finally heal, a good honest, loving, REAL man finds you and accepts you, all of you. I hope that you know he wont be disguised as a knight in shining armour. He wont dazzle with you with gifts and poetic lies. He will just be a guy, a real guy, no frills, just some good , honest loving, cherishing and protecting. You will then think back to these days and wish it all away….This is best case scenario, Dear.
What my 91 yr old Grandfather told me… March 31, 2010

My 91 year old Grandfather had this to say about life…”have a sense of humor, keep the “takers” out of your life, and don’t argue with people because you will be the one left feeling bad while they walk off not giving a shit.” Pretty simple, but true. He is also a HUGE joker! I’ll share one…”what do they call the surgery when a woman wants to be turned into a man?” add a dick to me….hahahah…..yes, he recently told this to everyone at the hospital! ok ok one more….oops cant remember another one right now…
How cute in his Christmas Sweatshirt:)
It’s My One Year Anniversary March 22, 2010

No, I did not secretly get married a year ago. I QUIT smoking one year ago! Yay!!! Love it. I feel amazing! One of the best things I have ever done. BTW the pounds are practically melting off now! I guess my body was in some weird state of shock and is now getting back to normal! sooooo worth being fat for a year! hahaha.
If you are thinking about trying to quit, go for it. You can do it. I promise you, it is so wonderful. You will feel amazing. I had a rough time, but I am extremely sensitive in every way, so I chalk it up to that:)

I have not been in my car in three days (oh wait that is a lie..I had to pay a bill this morning), ok, so I am basically saying that I have been at my desk for days working on two different papers and additional homework for school. I’m turning into a smarty pants, ha:). I suddenly realized I had not checked my email, and when I went to go read through everything, I found this lovely email/newsletter from “The Secret,” good solid sound advice… I love it. …sidebar…I have the greatest family and I appreciate all of you! Seriously, the support and love I receive is immeasurable. It is a wonderful feeling to walk out of a room full of people and know how much you mean to all of those individuals, amazing. Thank you.
