Things I am excited about..

1) Zumba. I love it. It make me smile, I am working out. I feel such a release when I am there. It just makes me happy. The ladies who attend my class are woman of all ages, abilities and shapes. Each person there is having their own unique experience. We are dancing, and just enjoying music and our bodies for one hour. My instructor has a insane amount of energy and you cant help but feed off of it. Also, I am not going to lie.. for one hour I like to imagine that I am preparing for my nest episode of dancing with the stars (Maks is obviously my partner).. or getting ready to tour with Beyonce.

2) Birthdays. Today Is one of the bestest friends birthdays. I am so looking forward to celebrating it with her. She is a great fried and we have been through a lot. How awesome is it that one day a year is dedicated to celebrating you!

3) People I love getting what they deserve. Last nigth one of my other bestest friend was featured on a episode on "Being Erica". Our hometown cheered her own as well all sat glued to our TV screen. She lives in Toronto now, but I am sure she could feel the love from the East Coast. I have seen how hard she has worked to achieve all that she has. I am just so happy that she got to share that with others!

Its time to celebrate! Awesome things are happening everyday! xo

A New Season

So I havent written in awhile. A long time in fact. I didn't forget about the blog, nor was I to busy. I guess it just felt fake, I was writing about loving myself and I was believing what I wrote... until a stranger, a complete stranger called me fat and took all that love away. Its amazing that months and months of turning my thoughts into positive ones can be turned around by some loser.

After that I let myself go back to my comfortable thoughts, the ones that didn't let me find the beauty in life.

After some time I have realized how much of a waste it is to let other people control how I live my life. I can not let my happiness be determined by what people say or don't say.

So I am back, and I am inspired. I feel good, and I am happy. Life is wonderful. The past couple weeks I have made a point to find something I love in life everyday. We have had a beautiful fall, and I have been reminded about the simple pleasures in life. Like making a recipe and having it turn out, Or spending a afternoon in a bookstore with a really good coffee, or buying myself something pretty,or going to bed early,or having supper with my husband,or laughing at something really funny, or even just a glass of red wine. Life is good when you allow yourself to enjoy it!

PS- I slapped the guy in the face ;)
