Today is the DAY.

So, I have this vision in my mind that I want to write you a book. A book that will show you how much you have given me purpose, I want to show you the journey of how you got to go to school, through blogs. All I have to do is write you everyday and tell you about you, me and this thing we call life. I have had this vision for moooonths, I even started some things but consistency is not matching up. Until today. There is something about today that has bit me in the butt and I want to make my vision a reality. 

I woke up today and did something new in my yoga practice. This. It is called compass pose. It is is my plans to write you a blog about yoga and what it has done for my life. Anyways back to the pose. I am showing you because it is something new for my body to be able to do. I have seen it hundreds of time online done by other people and I never thought I would ever get there. Today I did and as I was crying about it in savanasa pose, I realized this is my life in a nut shell. I am the kind of person who compares them ALL the time to everyone else, I find out how to get to where they are and I take the steps to do it, THEIR way which never works in the end for me. It never works because there is no such thing as doing it the same way one of your classmates is going to do it and expecting the same results. That is the definition of rubbish. Mae it go away. Find a way in school to win in this area of your life. You are so unique in your own way. Your think things I dont tihnk, you do things I cant do, you have weird cool habits I would not dream of having and the same goes for you when it comes to my life. See, that is the beauty in this thing we call life, you are you and I am me. You signed up to get to compass pose at a different level in life than me. Just as I did. Today was the day my body and my life agreed in union to execute compass pose. All those comparisons I have been seeing for over a year around this pose were simply reminders that my body will do it one day too, that is why I kept looking at it. I cried because I was proud of myself. You will have more moments in this life where you realize who and what you are capable of if you detach from being like everyone else. I am 32yrs old and I am now finally putting systems into place to help me detach, yoga is one of them. You are young my queens and kings and I know you have so many grown-ups telling you alot of life lessons and that will never stop, but promise me to listen because we are all telling you that you are you and I am me. I am honored to be fighting for you to find yourself in the environment of school.

Speaking of school, I woke up to an email that I got accepted to a serving gig, I get to be a server at a wedding, I know weddings!! I love love is why. Anywho, that will be nine hours of school money for you. One of the local Pre-schools has agreed to put out a penny jar and brochures for parents and children to share some of their financial fortune with you. An in-depth email will be sent out to parents as well explaining what the BOAT project is about to further more people in unity and possible fundraising ideas. Everyday, I get up thinking of you and I take action to prove it to myself. You are my L.I.F.E, my love, inspiration, fulfillment and energy. Because of you, I have found purpose. Thank you is not even enough.

I love you. I cant wait to meet you in 2019.

Brochure Designed!

Over a month and getting mad at YOU at times, the brochure is finally designed to completion and it should be arriving at my house a week from today! I can hardly wait.

The idea for a brochure came about when I was doing my first shift as a server, I was sharing with people about you and even though they did not have any money to donate, they wondered how they could continue taking about your educational boat. Duh! A brochure! The board approved it and along the way, breakdowns happened, I also took a break and on fathers day; KA-BOOM, as I mentioned earlier, the family and I did it!

Today was a great day! I am determined to get these 500 brochures exchanged for some amazing donations!

Todays life guidance would be on Self love.

Today is 50 days...

“If you always have a shallow perspective and pay attention only to trival things you are sure to get bogged down in all kinds of petty worries and concerns, and not be able to move forward. Even relatively minor hurdles or problems will seem insurmountable. But if you look at life from a broad viewpoint, you naturally spot the way to solve any problem you may confront. this is true when we consider our own personal problems as well as those of society and even the future of the entire world.” Daisaku Ikdea

I have 18 minutes to write you. Like Charley, the one who supports this love for you just said,”its her own deadline.” I live my life for you these days, everything has to be fit in at times. I am going to conclude the last half hour of my day with him but first, I now have 15minutes!!!

My loves, I want to thank you for giving me drive, In May when I was out with friends on a trip out of town, It HIT me out of nowhere but from somewhere that $40 is donated a day everyday for the next 2yrs (which started on May 1st, 2017)- I will have more than enough to send you to school, I chanted that the extra go to the flight to meet you, along with Charley because he is my #1 fan, especially when it comes to you.

Today, what I did towards the BOAT project, YOUR BOAT project is create this blog for you, I intend to write you everyday until 4.11.2019, when the deadline to raise $20,000 for your “educational boat” approaches. You will go to school, believe me you, I believe that everyone deserves student loans and I am determined to give you some!

I struggle with “self doubt” a lot, which you will too, it is apart of life that will rob you of life if you let it. I am in this moment having some about this blog, I should write more. Will you get anything out of this blog? Did I write okay? gosh, did I type too much? You will find this little voice in your head that always tries to manipulate you, I urge you to be friends with it, I have conversations with it sometimes, try it! I have eight minutes left and some of that is for a yoga picture I want to do for your Instagram every morning, so I have to turn off my little fingers, let go of the self doubt and know that I did the best today, for my life, towards your life. I love you so much boys and girls.

I am close to 5,0000 since May 1!!!
