GUILTY!!!

I know.....I'm guilty as charged. It's been two months since I posted........ it's awful!
Tears......... Tears........... more Tears............. okay I am done!

I'm back and ready to start writing, Please forgive me, let's put this in the past :)
Wait my excuse....... I have none...... except living my life without adventure, working too much and not expressing my feelings. However, my sad two months of boring..ness is over.

So today marks a new day of adventure............two months needed to make up.
Stay tune for day one.

Drum Roll Please...........

The day has finally come….my good news. Oh wait so I am a little late but finally I’m back here and still not married :)

I got a new J.O.B, yup its official, I am employed by ASU. In December I started my search for a new job. My contract with AHMI was ending in mid-January and I had no idea what I was going to do. Luckily I had a good friend refer me to a job opening at UMOM. I jumped on the opportunity and sent over my resume and cover letter. A couple of days later I received an email from an employer here at ASU. I was referred by another friend that works for ASU in the Dean’s office. The Student Engagement Department was looking to fill in a position and my name made their list. That same day I got a call from the UMOM employer to set up an interview.

How exciting right, two job opportunities! It was a thrill but it was super hard to make a choice. Each job had their pros and cons, each job sounded great. I talked to family and close friends about the jobs and which one to take. They all had great insight but I knew it was going to come down to me. So instead I prayed, and prayed and prayed and fasted and prayed some more. After much waiting and thinking I was never going to get my answer, I did. It was simple and worked out perfectly. No great voice came down from the Heavens and I didn’t see it in a dream. I felt it and I said it and it felt good. On top of that it all played out exactly how it needed too.

So here I am 2nd week into the job and I love it.

Enjoy life, enjoying my new job, and enjoying my new adventure,

How to enjoy the holiday foods!


Let's all give thanks and enjoy our family this holiday season. Love, laugh, and be of good cheer. However, beware of the brownies and other sweeties that loom around your kitchen! With that in mind, here is your "I can make it through the Holidays without gaining weight" check list!


1. Prepare

Choose now what foods you will allow yourself to enjoy. Decide what they will be, when you will be allowed to enjoy them, and how much you will allow yourself. You will get the best results by choosing small amounts, infrequently. Caution! Don't enter the Holiday season defenseless!

2. Strategize

Memorize your holiday rules and pre-determine your strategy of attack to any opposition you might face. Don't forget that It's ok to say "no" when offered goodies from a well-meaning relative or friend! You can always accept it graciously, then give it away to those less fortunate.

3. Stick to it

Stick to your rules. And remember, it's better to stick to 95% of a game-plan, than to not have one at all.

4. Enjoy

There is no greater high than the one you receive from self-discipline. When you feel it, you will strive for that "high" all year long.


Lastly, whatever you do, DO NOT allow yourself to believe that little voice in your head that says, "I'll simply enjoy this food now and diet LATER." Unfortunately, it's not that easy. For when later comes, you will have more than just unwanted body fat. Amongst many other health issues that this may cause, you will have a sluggish digestive system, a sweet addiction to withdraw from, and worst of all, skin that has been stretched from excessive weight. Yuck! Don't listen to that naughty little voice!
