Day 14/90 I saw a healer ;)

Today I saw a healer 😉

I feel pretty relaxed.

It kind of started when my sister started getting into crystals and crystal healing, and it made me feel intrigued to try crystal healing.

So, what did I do? I went on YELP. Yes, I yelped a healer.

I looked at my options and chose the one whose website and services and feel I liked the best. I reached out, we set it up, and today was the day.

She was very kind, and we ...

Day 13/90 The Five Love Languages

When I think of  “speaking from the heart,” love languages is an associated tangent. Gary Chapman wrote a book in 1995 called The Five Love Languages, where he describes the ways that individuals express and experience love.

1) gifts

material objects, things, tokens of love and affection

2) quality time

the amount of time that you are with a loved person, sharing activities, whether it’s outside excursions, or being lazy around the house ...

Day 9/90 I made a painting

Today I dropped in to an art studio in Redwood City and used their supplies.

My painting was all acrylic, until I decided to add some sharpee. So, it’s acrylics and sharpee.

I love art, it’s a very engrossing activity. I lose myself for a few hours, and feel peaceful and accomplished at the end.

I think I made a self portrait.

Day 7/90 tried Tai Chi

I feel my hardcore energy is so strong, but my relaxation energy is so weak, so I decided to try Tai Chi so see how I like it.

It was held at a school in Los Altos, and I wandered around the building until I came across a patio area where a few people were. It looked like the spot.

It helped that it was a gorgeous day. Lately the weather has been blah.

This teacher was this old white dude, but pretty ...

What is Metta?

I went to an all day meditation retreat on Metta a weeks ago, so I am feeling inspired to share about Metta 😉

 

What is metta?

Metta is generosity of the spirit. Metta is generosity of the heart. It is openness. It is unconditional loving-kindness.

Metta makes no distinctions between people. Metta embraces all beings with a boundless quality.

 

Here is an example of a metta ...

NPC Nationals 2014

I’ll keep this brief…

The journey to NPC Nationals was extremelyyyyyyy difficult! It took every ounce of me, mentally and physically! Every ounce. Everything.

The road was rocky…So many times I was uncertain I could pull it off. I was a nutcase, straight up. Mindfuckery. I trained hard tho, and I gave it my all…and….it ended up working out!

NPC Nationals took place Nov 21 + 22, 2014 in Miami, Florida. Every physique competitor looked AMAZING! These girls were JACKED!!!! It was also ...

Oh my GOODNESS

I am TERRIBLE for being SUCH a delinquent blog-writer…I had a HUGE victory…and here it is…3 weeks later! (sawwy!)

My first ever PHYSIQUE competition was on August 23rd, 2014. The NPC Tahoe Show, in South Lake Tahoe. A national qualifier.

ANNNNDDDDD….I WON!!!!!

It was AWESOME.

I mean, don’t get me wrong…The prep was grueling (because I had JUST finished my powerlifting competition and decided to jump into this physique competition with only a 10 week prep- eeks!) …sooo ...
