Livin' The Dream

No matter what the clients throw my way, I am doing my best to keep on keepin' on. So far so good. Even amidst the stress of 12 hour days I keep the peace in my mind and the joy in my soul. Like this little guy....I am holding on tight in the face of drama drama drama. Chill, cardinal. Chill.

If Pink and her hot bod don't make you want to eat healthy today, I don't know what will. You go, Pink!

So I am feeling a little ill-equipped lately. Like I set out to do one thing, and it just isn't working out. As a goal-oriented-go-getter, I am not a fan of that. I am realizing that it has me just feeling like I want to throw in the towel. Ugh!

I was so excited to go the exhibit because I want to see King Tut before I die. Weird...but yeah, it's on my Bucket List. Although I knew I would still want to see the pyramids one day, I was so excited thinking that I would see the King at the Discovery thing. The exhibit was really neat. Like really really neat! So many things from the tomb are there. But when you get to the end there is a reproduction of the mummy. Hmm. Not sure why I was surprised. I recall the exhibit in Los Angeles years ago and the press saying King Tut would never return to America. They spoke truth, peeps. He hasn't. But lots of his really cool stuff has, so it was still worth the $40 to go through the exhibit. Like Angie said, it just gives me another excuse to go to Egypt one day. Yay for King Tut's stuff, but I'm sure my Daddie is right. King Tut probably is sad he never got to see my in nyc :)

Few things brighten up Times Square like a bunch of military men. I was hanging out with a friend this evening and taking in the view. I'm so grateful for the men and women that work so hard and sacrifice so much to protect us. It doesn't hurt that they get to wear fancy uniforms and look all handsome and stuff!

It is hard to believe that just 2 years ago I came to nyc to study at Columbia. Here I am over looking the City. I was so excited, so nervous, so happy, even a little sad to have left my family and friends in California....so many things. Then 10 short months later....I was graduating from Columbia! Now I have been out of Graduate school for a year now and working in foster care.....getting my bootie kicked by foster care....and I'm still excited, nervous, happy and even sometimes sad. At milestones we tend to reflect and evaluate, which is what I have been doing a lot of lately. I have considered returning to school for a Psy. D. I have thought about moving home and working at a hospital in Pediatric Oncology. I have even considered (dare I saw) sticking with this foster care thing a little while longer. I know I will find the path that is right for me.....but for now I am just so happy that many of my dreams came true in the last 2 years. What a blessing!!

There are a million reasons I love New York City. One of the things I love most is the fact that it is filled with so many characters! I think it is fantastic that you can see something like this on the train and not even bat an eye lash. Go New Yorkers! Do your thing!
