Things I LOVE: REFLECTIONS

Change isn't easy.
And I can say that first hand.
I mean a year ago i was waking up on the couch, hung over as heck every morning.
I was hating my life and i had no idea how to get out of it or how to change it.
Furthermore, I had NO IDEA WHERE I WAS HEADED.
and all the while i put-on a happy face (with FLASH ANGER outbursts...)
every single day.
A spur of the moment trip to LA may have just been the WAKE UP CALL i needed.
If you ever get a wake up call LISTEN to them.
I DID.
This time last year Vanessa & i  road tripped down to LA.

we stayed at the Mondrian (my new hood now).
that was the BEST 29th birthday present EVER from my sister. SHE IS THE BEST. Wouldn't be here without her & her boyfriend, Dustin.

we listened to only TWO songs the ENTIRE trip (Andre Legacy Mondrian & Mickey Avalon What do You Say).
Seriously, TWO SONGS. The WHOLE TRIP.
We loved it though.

we partied like Rockstars.

and we hung out with cassandra & mollie.
you know you want out of a marriage when you choose not to wear your ring on vacation.
during that trip cassandra my old time  high school friend helped me booby-trap my ring by braiding my Hanky Panky panities together in order not to loose it.
Cassandra is now my best friend here in LA.
funny how things happen.  (Even funnier see how WEIRD Cassandra and I on this video... #YouShouldDoACleanse #LemonCayanne)

most importantly on that trip, I saw my new destiny.
and I followed it.

and look I have to continue to look forward and I have a LOT more changes and goals I need to work on.
it's QUITE the process i must say.
and it won't be easy but I am well aware of that.
It's actually weird to reflect on my life, but i have to reflect in order to keep continuing forward.

and forward is where I'm ALWAYS headed,
but I can never forget to LOOK BACK.
Here's to changes and challenges.
So what are you going to work on changing?
Big or SMALL.
I for one am going to get back to writing more, I miss that craft of mine.
Crafts too!! I need to get back into those!
Let's Make a Steal anyone?
