When You Realize Everything is New
Current mood: peaceful

Change is inevitable.  Many times you may not notice how occurrences in your life have brought about major changes, but change happens daily....each second.  Your brain is constantly evolving and with that evolution comes manifestations of what you know as your life.

When you realize everything is new, what you did yesterday doesn't matter.  It doesn't matter who hurt you, who made you cry or what happened as a situation unfolded.  When you realize everything is new, you look forward to doing what you can do right now to achieve a higher state of being.....to achieve your dreams. 

When everything is new, you know you are blessed with opportunities to capture your moments and make the most of them.  If it's all new, then those opportunities are endless.

As I sit here and wait for news that will no doubt change my situation drastically, it makes me think about how we view change, and don't seem to view it on the smallest level possible.  It is happening all the time, even when I don't realize it.  I just wanted to remind myself that everything is new....always.

Please leave a brief message after the tone....

Sometimes I get so busy during my day, that I like to do a little thing called prioritizing.

So, a word of advice when leaving me a voicemail message:  please very briefly state the purpose of your call.  I must emphasize very briefly, because there is a thin line between leaving an informative voicemail, and fitting your life story sloppily into the two minutes that the recipient's cellular provider has allotted for your unnecessary ramblings. 

If I don't know in thirty seconds why you called or why you need me to call you back... I am pressing the dreaded "7" (or 3, depending upon cellular carrier).

If you don't mention anything ("Hi, call me back") I will delete the message and not sense the urgency for calling you back, because you didn't make any urgency apparent to begin with. 

Those who know me know that I don't prefer to use the phone to "chat."

Thank you,

S. Mojica

what tells me
Current mood: apathetic
Category: Music

i dont want to feel like im hanging on
for dear love
to feel dear life
why i hold this so near
i dont yet know
perhaps a loneliness
of knowing tonight i will hug my pillow
to fall asleep
and awake to no one
to share my dreams with
again
but the words you speak
make me wonder if there is thought behind them
they sound amazing
and if it's me you see yourself with
then that looks amazing
but what tells me this could be anything
like love
what tells me im not just lonely
and looking for someone to share my pillow with
to tell my dreams to
when i wake on a sunday morning
what tells me im not being foolish
over you
once my heart gets wrapped around you
where will my mind go
once my heart gets wrapped around love
where will my logic go
if my heart is wrapped around you
where will my mind have gone

I Heart NY

I spent the past few days in NYC parading around with a bunch of kickass locals, and G and I are undeniably smitten by the city. This was not our first trip to the city, and it won't be our last.

The music and art scene is a force not to be reckoned with. For it is massive, and truly makes your eyes sparkle with thoughts of opportunity. Not to be a star, but to share what it is you do and to be accepted and appreciated for putting yourself out there.

I am inspired by the culture....the art.....the music....the people.

We made a pros and cons list of living in New York this morning during breakfast at JFK. Our pros list is quite extensive. The cons list is, too ($$$ among many other things). But, we are too young to be fearful of relocating at this time in our lives.

Someone once said, it is best to make all of your big mistakes while you're still young. How would I know that moving to NYC could be a mistake unless I tried?

Besides, my heart tells me I need to go. My soul is telling me I need this change.

That knawing gut feeling....
Category: Romance and Relationships

About a year ago a good friend gave me a mix CD, and song number one struck a chord within me.  As much as I loved the track, listening to it felt torturous, because never before had I heard my deepest feelings conveyed so accurately through someone else's lyrics.  I refused to admit to myself that this was how I was feeling.  I've now learned that my gut was trying to tell me it wasn't right.

In the Now...
Current mood: amused

So I am bored right now, and I just finished assembling some new furniture for my bedroom.

Monday through Friday, I see a person briefly during the day who kinda makes me laugh but annoys me all at the same time.

Here is how our conversation pans out each day:

MONDAY
Me: "Hi there...how is your day going?"
Person: "(sigh) iiiiiiit's Monday!" (sarcastically)

TUESDAY
Me: "Hello....busy day, eh?"
Person: "Ohhh, is it Friday yet?"

WEDNESDAY
Me: "Hiiiiii."
Person: "Hello! We're halfway there to Friday!"

THURSDAY
Me: "Hey, how's it goin'"
Person: "Good! Close to Fridaaaaay..."

FRIDAY
Me: "Hey there."
Person: "Hey! Happy Friday!"


OMG

And unfortunately, this conversation is all too common in our world; well, at least in this country where people tend to gauge their like or dislike of a day of the week by its closeness to the weekend.


Perhaps me talking about seeing this person tomorrow is me not living in the now. Well, I'm not about to get myself started because it is getting late and I am sleepy and I WILL go on all night.

If the person from the conversation above reminds you of yourself, then stop it! Live in the now. You'll enjoy life just a little bit more....and annoy people less!

Jesus H
Current mood: complacent

I need a myspace intervention.

So, is it considered an intervention when the user and abuser is the one who organizes it? I'm trademarking it now, let it be known...M.A. We will read bible stories, rejoice in our appreciation of kleenex, and reminisce about our life before we discovered myspace.

I always say I'm going to delete....but isn't denial one of the stages of addiction?

I am reaching out....help! Get me off this shit. It is destroying my life force.

Im going to bed.

Love ya'll to bits and pieces,

Xo~Xo~Xo

Yes!
Current mood: indescribable

I can't get enough of this crazy Bikram stuff.

Anyone want to get really good at it with me and attend teacher training?

I want to be a Bikram instructor. I have never felt better and more energetic in my life, even when I was working out like a meat headed body builder.

Teacher training is about 11 grand. Donations anyone?

The feeling is SO different than lifting weights. I haven't been to the gym in two months and I look and feel more toned and satisfied doing only Bikram 4-5 times a week. My clothing is looser, and my skin is brighter and softer. My hair shines, and my nails are growing like crazy. My knees are 80% stronger than they were one month ago, my posture has improved, my lower back pain is gone, my boobs are firmer! hahaha

To top it off, Joe told me yesterday that I was less anxious and more relaxed about so many things. For me, that's huge. I am your typical worrying Virgo. Or, was.

OMG I LOVE BIKRAM!!!

Bend it like Bikram

And FEEL the buuuuuuuuuuurn.

My new favorite pastime (huh yeah, 2 weeks) has been Bikram Yoga, and I highly recommend it for maximum, full body torture - i mean, lovely harmonious and peaceful body and soul balancing.

For 90 minutes, I stand in a classroom of around twenty students - some super experts, and others beginners.

The heater in the corner hums and pumps a constant flow of dry, warm air. The room is around 97 degrees and climbing.  I feel great.

After the first two minutes of class, during the BREATHING EXERCISE I am DRIPPING with sweat. I really never knew my body was able to produce that much moisture.

The instructor paces the perimeter of the classroom and offers encouraging words like "BREATHE BREATHE COME ON HOLD IT HOLD IT HOLD IT GO GO GO GO !!" And my favorite words, "and chaaange..." meaning relax.

So take those first two minutes of sweat and multiply them by forty five, and you get 90 minutes of super saturated goodness sprinkled with a large variety of kick you in your ass poses.

Oh, and there are a LOT of guys there. Some nights the chicks have been outnumbered. So guys, yoga is not all hippie and chanting like I thought it would be, either.

Just wanted to share. If anyone cares to join me, I've been going to Bikram Yoga FTL - bikramyogaoffortlauderdale.com. 6.15 weeknight class, and 10 am saturday class.



OH and the best part is the 8 to 900 calories evaporated during class.

YES!! I RULE!!
