THE AE JOURNAL

THIS YEAR HAS BEEN THE YEAR TO BE BOLD. I added a new twist to the quote, " When life throws you lemons, make lemonade". I say when life throws you lemons put on red lipstick! Be daring enjoy every moment in your life, no matter how big or small it is. Every obstacle is a challenge and should be tackled as such.

These past few days I've been doing things that I would not normally do. It has been the year of saying:YES YES YES. Currently, I have accumulated the best experiences from living by that philosophy this year. Today, I sit here exhausted because I am full with my daily 4 course meals of the following:


Appetizer:Feel Good Pudding~ Waking up happy and working myself out. This means a few series of crunches and stretches. If I am lucky to wake up extra early, I'll add in a 30-45 minute jog. I have not done that in a long time.I smile at those 20 lap jogs around of a 400m track. Its funny, that was like a year ago.

Salad:Mind Crunch Lettuce~ I try to stimulate my mind daily reading a good book or news article. If I have limited time, I read up my new articles online at cnn.com or nytimes.com on my phone. It keeps me up to date with the current events. I personally feel that it is important. I don't depend on television nor do I watch it much. Which is why I need to make sure I have my mind crunch lettuce.

Main Course:Superwoman Delight~ I have a lot going on in my life so I divide it in threes. I organize tasks the day before in lists called: Personal Life, Academia, & Business. I quickly see results by completing each task in its own category. I do not overwhelm myself by listing several things. The key is to be realistic and set your goals in visible writing. You must also take advantage of your time and not procrastinate ( I KNOW IT IS HARD). I'm not perfect and I continuously try to find better ways in being efficient in everything I do.

Dessert:Sweet tooth nourishing Flan~ I try to nourish the relationships I choose to have with particular people. I start with God , myself, family and then friends. I need to nourish myself by taking care of my mind,body, and spirit.You must love and take care of yourself in order to build fruitful strong relationships with others. I do have a favorite list on my phone, the list includes my family and friends who mean a lot to me. I try to make some time during the weekend to reach out to at least one friend. I do this while I trying to keep in contact with my family during the week. Life suddenly becomes sweeter. I just can't wait to try my dessert of sweet tooth nourishing flan by the end of the day. Sometimes I even take this particular dessert early in the morning or afternoon!



Each day is soooooo exciting! I often think to myself about what things that I've not tried and can at that particular moment. Living each day is a gift from God.


ENJOY YOUR FOUR COURSE MEAL!
