I've been feeling really inspired by the native plants and trees of the city as well as the incredibly awesome thunderstorms that keep it all lush. Definitely a nice reminder of nature's dance and her way of keeping things in balance. Let's dance it out, shall we?

I had a moment of homesickness yesterday after being disappointed by a disgusting packet of string cheese. Silly how the smallest things can set you off but it happens. I then started to think about all of the familiar and comfortable things that I miss from the States but when I realized that I was struggling to make a solid list I felt much more at ease. Though I miss my network of close friends and family tremendously, I have everything I need right here: a place to call home and Joe. Screw the string cheese.

This one goes out to my beautiful family who has always shown me that it's never too early or too late to try something new. We're each going through our own unique "re-births", if you will, and I'm so proud to watch them go for new experiments and incredibly thankful for the support they send back my way.
If you're currently experimenting with any new ideas, ventures, or just toying with the possibilities, keep at it because honestly - who ever really knows what they're doing? It's all trial and error so you might as well push through until something clicks.

I'm guilty of having an old soul but I don't let my nostalgic tendencies get in the way of being present and charging ahead. I purposefully posted this quote on my birthday to remind myself that every age and new year brings its own set of opportunities and delight. That being said, this one goes out to all of my fellow Pisces and zodiac brothas and sistas alike. However old or young you may be in 2012, enjoy, have fun, and take this year by the reins!

Audrey Hepburn was one smart cookie. My nieces will definitely know this one.

Alright, so yesterday was a bit of a pity party (thanks for all of your sweet comments!) but really, spirits are still very high. Especially since I've recently gotten back into running.
My love affair with running began in high school when I joined the track team to get out of P.E. class. I gave hurdles a chance but didn't have the necessary speed to jump and then keep on moving. What I did have was stamina so long-distance running ultimately became my sport of choice and I loved it. I loved how it pushed me, kept me outdoors and had an ever-changing scenery. I learned to keep going, keep my head up, and just get through it because the end goal was always there and I would eventually reach it. I never felt better then I did after a five mile run, even if I simultaneously wanted to throw up from exhaustion.
I didn't run much in college as I was too pre-occupied with with full-time class schedules, full-time work, and part-time parties. My first job out of college was in Santa Monica and for a good while I'd rush to get out of work so that I could run along the beach during sunset. It was incredible and the clarity it provided me was absolutely necessary at the time. Unfortunately, the last several years were plagued with inconsistent spurts of "god, I just need to get out and run!" and "ugh, do I really need to change and go outside?"
Now we live in London, literally two blocks from a great park in one direction and a beautiful canal in the other. I have no excuses other than the weather getting colder but even that's nothing an investment in good gear can't dispel. Keeping that in mind I've been running at least every other day since Christmas and I'm dedicated to making the routine stick. It feels too good to let it slide - physically, mentally, and spiritually. My high-school self was definitely onto something.
