oh. oh yeah, I remember now... I had a blog.
ahem, have.
I have a blog.
yesterday was my first day off in the month of July... and I'm still broke. go figure.
rather than a long list of all the awesomeness I've been creating, but rather share a few morsels.
my girlfriend (finally!) lives in the same city as me! so much love and gratitude.
trying really hard to keep positive about a few aspects of my life, and sometimes this is tough, but really what is bringing me around these days is the ideal I have created with this project.
I have started being grateful at each meal and really taking the time to enjoy my food.
I have started thanking the sun... just saying thanks in a variety of ways when I feel the urge...
Sending gratitude to people I miss, or intentionally loving people and sending them good energy, even if I am in a room with them.
I've realized there's no such things as perfect... I'm gonna be grumpy, or whatever non-happy state of being sometimes, but my ability to pull myself out of those has grown immensely from the Love and Gratitude I've been feeling this year.
So much love, ya'll.

uh oh! ten minutes til the library closes... just a quick check in, then.
my cleanse of all that is gluten-y and animal-y lasted about 2 days... it's hard. and I got whiny real fast.
words to the wise: choose one cleanse, or, as I have decided to do, just monitor and alter the intake rather than complete elimination... ways to stay un-grouchy and keep friends.
loving and gratefulness can sometimes be hard... that is a lesson this year is teaching me. finding genuine gratitude and love when I would rather be yelling at someone is not easy... not that I'm really the yelling type, but we all have our moments of weakness, don't we?
staying in touch with gratitude sometimes even makes me more mad in the instant, but in a longer span of time, I've found that nothing can call me down quite like the slice of humble pie that comes with being grateful and full of love.
oh, 2011, you lovely trickster, you.

My life feels like everything is on fast forward right now!
So much excitement!
I know I posted about PRIDE, but once again, in case you didn't get the message the first time, IT WAS AWESOME!
So... the excitement.
1. My team voted me the Team Spirit Award for our Derby Banquet! Yay! So much love and gratitude to those amazing ladies!
2. July means that this month me and my lovely girlfriend will be celebrating a year! (WHAT?!) ...and now she's going to give me a hard time for listing derby first and her second... I'm leaving it this way ;-) Love and Gratitude for a beautiful year!
3. I have been being social, like goin' out and stuff! I'm a bit of a hermit... and I am enjoying the company and the good times I have been having!
4. New job is turnin' out to be quite awesome... Love and Gratitude for all that is to come!
5. This one will sounds odd... but I am going back to being Vegan and on to a Gluten-Free diet starting today... No, I have no idea what I will eat, BUT I am excited to feel all healthy and good inside. I've done Vegan before no problem, but Gluten-Free is a new one for me, and I love pasta... but I don't like feeling icky... anyway, Love and Gratitude for the maturity in making this decision and for myself. And for not feeling gross inside. Wish me luck?

Love, Love, Love.
