A New Year and I am making the changes I need!

A New Year: So, it is a new year and everyone is still hyped from the inauguration. Sadly, I did not attend. I am now consulting and my travels had me on the road. I was in a state that did not vote for Obama. What a drag! But during this economy you go where you get work. Right? I have no complaints, my company has strong reputation and a leader in consulting and my client is a great company, a very strong international one. For that I am very thankful.


Life on the road: I took a raw cooking class one evening to pass away the time in a strange city. I was impressed the instructor, she was great and the dishes were easy. I have managed to reproduce them with no problems or fancy tools. The dishes were so delightful I have made them over and over again. I was only taught 3 dishes, so I now realize I need to get a recipe book. Notice I did not say cookbook? Because in the raw food movement, nothing is cooked. There are some dishes that are use heat of 110 degrees, but that is hardly cooking or not even a hot dish! LOL. When food is "cooked" it is dehydrated and that is a little better than warming up the dish.


Clearing out the bad food and bad characters: I have to get rid of the meat in my freezer and some other bad foods I have stored but I have been eating more veggies than normal and I have noticed a huge difference. I am less agitated and very calm. I could attribute it to getting rid of some drama I had in my life. LOL! Long story but the short version is I got rid of dead weight. See my post from June of 2006 if you want to know who the dead weight is. I should have learned my lesson. Some people never change and that man is one of them. I have branded him as a Liar and a Cheater. No one refers to him by name, they call him that. He has the nerve to call me every so often. WHAT? He should call Barbara....the woman he called such ugly names and talked about so badly...was actually the women he cheated with. Silly me....I now realize what a waste of time. I realized that having drama like that brings negative energy and it caused me some unnecessary pain. I am lucky I have such good intuition, something made me just stop and ask him what was going on. I asked him that the day after he cheated. I then became suspicious of him, his stuttering and goofiness was a good clue. Then the truth was revealed by a very insecure, immature and silly person, all I could do was laugh and say really? I already knew. He was so desperate acting in the following days after the call, trying to throw my suspicions off and swearing the call had nothing to do with him. I look back and I thank my intuition. It saved me from going any further. Anyway, I digress.....my life has more going on than that temporary blip on my radar. Trust me that blip's fading fast. I would like to say I did learn something. You can never go backwards! You have to move forward and make progress! Life is too short! This is not a dress rehearsal! So out with the bad and in with the good. It has been all good since! Very good in fact!


Progress! I am making great progress...meeting great people and leaving behind the drama and the nonsense. Life is too short! Mine life is meant to be lived and to shine! I have also been volunteering again. See the photo below from the volunteer event on MLK day.
