Making it Happen



1. Way to go, Tim Tebow.
2. Epiphany!
3. River Whyless, thank you for the inspiration.
4. Day 1 of 5k training.
5. Please visit my amazing friend's blog! http://kcomiskeats.blogspot.com/

So it's Sunday, which usually means that I am feeling all motivated and rejuvenated for the week that is upcoming. I have started eating healthy again, not stressing about unimportant/unessential people in my life and concentrating more on running, yoga and the things that matter (sorry for the broadness but it's true!).
Lets see.... I am aiming to run a 5k on March 10th but then realized that I may be getting my wisdom teeth pulled out soon, so needless to say, we'll play it by ear. Now, don't think that me being the huge "gold" that I am is doing things too spontaneously, I have a new planner and am very disgustingly ready to use it. I think that the "semester of fall 2011" was a bit too unplanned and random, I am enjoying the journey, but I think I need to have small focus points along the way. I got carried away by the youthfulness of just having fun, which I did, but I like going after things. I am on the fence about my next move, but luckily have a few ideas over what it will be. Get excited. Look at what an awesome salad I ate while chilling at Katie's condo! Nom.


Kk, so game plan for now is to make this 5K happen because along with it comes my dedication to yoga, teaching and running. I ran 1.5 miles today with a 7.5~ish min mile. Not a bad starting point. This is going to be a busy education week but it'll happen.

Also, I may be a very organized teacher when it comes to folders and such but my room needs a big time makeover and by makeover I mean something that will make me finally see my desk again. Why do I do that?

I'm back like I forgot somethin', I'm somethin'

Finding balance.

Hello again, world.
It has been nearly forever since I've blogged and this one may be very short, but I have to start somewhere.

Idk what happened this past year from June-Dec. I think I got very sidetracked with things that I hadn't really done in a long time and I don't think I wasted time, but I do think that I need to get back on track if that makes any sense. I had another wonderful starbucks date with Katie and despite the fact that I was feeling like crap, it was nice to just be and talk. I have actually started talking to a lot of old friends again and it is very comforting. Diana made some wonderful points to me today and even though I act tough and awesome, I need peptalks
too. They make a world of difference. I need to grow the balls to do some of the things I know I need to do this year, so luckily for you, you get to see it unwind. I reread my blog post from last year, primarily because I remembered Mr. Royal, but it's funny to see how worried I was about the way things would be this year. Now I'm worried about new things, the cycle never seems to end and I think that it's because we forget our own history. I don't even know what else to update you guys on, those will come at their own time. Today some of my kids asked me about my new year's resolutions...I didn't really know how to tell them what they are but I know I am going to have a ginormous to do list.

The whole airplane rule of "put your oxygen mask on first, then help the person next to you" is a great metaphor for life.
