Today I am grateful

Today I had a great day, and it started with watching a awesome video located here:


It motivated me to be more grateful, and the last 48 hours I have felt spiritually free. What a revelation.. I made it almost 48 hours through my juice fasting, then made a AWESOME dinner tonight of chicken and red potatoes.. The bbq sauce I made was so awesome! Recipe on my Facebook page.. Anyway tomorrow I am going to get up by 1pm to make it to the DMV to have my license replaced, then off to a fun Meet Up Group Dinner tomorrow night- Off to clean the kitchen- Please check out that video! <3>

Day One over and I am sick and hungry :(

So its been 24 hours since I have eaten any real food other then drinking 100 percent pure apple juice. My stomach is a wreck and I woke up from a nap in a pure sweat ( which I guess is probably good? ). Anyways my stomach hurts , and I guess my body is doing what it should be doing but don't think I will make it to day two, or maybe I will? Will see how I feel when I awake..

Oh and in my dreams during my nap I dreamed about eating food and a sandwich.. How strange is that?

Stay tuned for more :)

Fasting day one

So I have been doing a lot of soul searching lately and figured that I would try something I have never been able to do! Fast! I am going to do a 3 day juice fast to start out, and am very excited to do this.. I have been reading so much about fasting, and being that I treat my body horrible with all the junk I digest, I think my body needs a couple days to detox..

There is a lot of good information about fasting on the web, I found this website that helped me a lot with my juice fast: http://www.falconblanco.com/health/fasting.htm

I think getting my body and mind in order for this new journey is something I need to do, I have to do.. Luckily I have nothing planned the next few days so I won't have the temptation of the outside world with my fasting..

So I will check back in, and I am thinking I might try the 30 day mindset detox challenge but I will see if I can make it.. Stay tuned!

A new beginning..




So a lot has gone on since I last blogged.. Summer went by so fast, then fall. Then winter and on January 28th, 2010 my life came to a halt when I was laid off by my employer. After 16 years, Verizon Wireless decided to cut my job due to the economy and how AT&T continues to kick our ass.. Restructuring, whatever you want to call it I was fired. They gave me a good package though and I am able to get unemployment after my last day of employment, March 6th. So my life here in Los Lunas, NM is put on hold. Do I stay, or do I move back to Seattle to be with my family and friends. I have done so much here, saving lives of horses, and dogs I guess as I have 5 dogs atm.

So after I was laid off I went back to Seattle on a pre-planned trip to help my mom move. This was a good plan as my mind was on Seattle, my family, and moving my life back up to be back home. I celebrated by getting a I-Phone in which I really love. Back to Los Lunas, and it has been two weeks since I have been home from Seattle. I have done little but organize, stay up all night afraid of all the dreams I have been having about my work, and trying to get control and focus for the next step. My hours the last couple weeks consist of me going to sleep at 6am, awaking at 1:30pm. The horses are fed at 1:30am and 1:30pm.

I have seven horses now, in which I plan to bring one or two back with me to Seattle if I move but the thought of the move is overwhelming. I will have plenty of money with my severance package to make the move, but I just don't know what my next step will be. Making lists as my mom says is the best way to get through each day. I feel guilty that I do nothing all day but rest and play with the horses, I should be riding and getting ready to sell them. I guess I don't want to let go of this life I have even though a new life awaits me in Seattle.

So this blog is now about my new adventures, a diary of sort. I know others will read this and I am ok with that. So many other people get fired, laid off and aren't as fortunate as me in what I have built for my self. So now I guess I get through this week, this day. As of Friday I will still have two more weeks officially "employed" even though I don't have to go back to work. Part of the deal. I can apply for unemployment March 6th, and I have full benefits till November based on my severance package. What will this new journey bring me? Not sure but stay tuned...
