Three simple rules in life. 1. If you do not go after what you want, you’ll never have it. 2. If you do not ask, the answer will always be no. 3. If you do not step forward, you will always be in the same place.

Never knew it was possible to love someone before you've met them.
It is being your best self, and it is understanding that your worst self is also loved and welcomed. It’s when we realize we are human.

Hi, Andrew…
It’s been awhile, but life seems to finally be getting back on track. Sure, I was a little disappointed for a bit about not being able to keep up with my blogging, etc. But hey, I’ve been living in the moment… or, at least, trying to. So what if I haven’t written in a while? Or taken...
Re-blogging this from almost a year ago. On the outside, not much has changed. Inside, my world has grown. Here's to a beautiful life, filled with struggle, pain, sadness, ecstasy, enlightenment, passion, and love.
Hello hello! It's taken me forever to answer but I'm the person who reached out to you about studying abroad while recovering. I did go through with it, I did have an incredible time (that's actually an understatement), and your advice was so helpful. Going abroad bettered my relationship with food in so many ways. I reintroduced so many fear foods into my diet, ate many group meals, etc. It was just an amazing experience altogether. Thanks again for the advice! Hope all is well with you!
It's okay! Life gets in the way, and I get it. I'd rather be out living my life too. This year has been crazy for me, and I'm not receiving notifications about messages, so I have no idea when you sent this.
Anyway, I am so glad that you reached out and that you had an amazing experience! I did think about you often and hoped you followed through. I'm glad that my words helped you in some way, but don't forget to thank yourself for allowing yourself the experience. My trip changed my life, so I can only hope that it did the same for you.
I am doing really well! This year has been a blur, and I can't believe that it's already June. I have some exciting things coming up though. I hope to continue this interaction, anonymous or not. Either way, have a wonderful summer and stay well!
Meditate more and more deeply, until calmness and joy become second nature to you. To be ecstatic is not difficult. It is thinking that it is difficult that holds you apart from it. Never think of divine joy as distant from you, and it will be with you always.

Back in March...
I answered a question about studying abroad in Rome while recovering from an ED. I never heard back from this person, and since they were anonymous, I have no way of knowing who they are. If this person happens to still be following me, please feel free to reach out and let me know how it went. If you would like to remain anonymous, or keep the dialogue between us, I will respect that decision. I just really hope that you went through with it and had an incredible time. Keep up the amazing work! Love and light to you.
On Aug 28, 2012, United Airlines killed my 2.5 year old Mastiff BamBam. After making every promise to guarantee his safety with United’s Pet Safe program, from the website to the booking agents to the ground personnel, guaranteeing air conditioned vans to and from the plane and air conditioned cargo areas at all times, United did none of it. On our layover in Houston, for over three hours, he was kept in temperatures in the 90’s. First placed on the tarmac, then in open luggage containers, then in a “holding area” with no a/c. At the height of summer during a heat wave in Texas. Never once was he placed in the air conditioning as promised, the cornerstone of the Pet Safe program.
He was dead on arrival in San Francisco. Although we saw with our own eyes the condition he was in when being boarded, and United’s own admission of NO a/c, and the later admission that NO pet is put in the air conditioned cargo area for layovers of less than 4 hours, they denied any wrong doing. After reviewing the autopsy report, our vet was 100% convinced the cause of death was heatstroke. United’s conclusion was; inconclusive. We were offered travel vouchers and weeks of corporate cover up and then lies to the media of his “special” care while in their hands.
There needs to be an enormous lobby for the airline industry fights any and all expansion of federal oversight in animal transportation. Every 9 days a pet dies on a commercial airline, and hundreds, or thousands, of other animals die each year with zero accountability as to the actual numbers or causes of death. If you accidentally leave a pet in a car in the heat you can be criminally charge with animal cruelty, yet the airlines take our money, sell us their “expertise,” then kill our family pets, deny responsibility and wash their hands by offering traveling vouchers like they are a lost suitcase.
OUR PETS ARE NOT BAGGAGE. The airline lobby may be huge, but the American pet owners “lobby” is worth 45 billion dollars a year and we demand change. We can make change if we stand together with our family members who cannot stand up for themselves.
THE CHANGE WE WANT:
Fully disclose the number of total animal deaths that occur to the Department of Transportation, not just pets.
The airlines to be held liable for wrongful deaths of our pets as living creatures and not as “baggage.”
An independent third party, not the airline, be in charge of the autopsy and the investigation into cause of a pets death.

Hi, Andrew...
It's been awhile, but life seems to finally be getting back on track. Sure, I was a little disappointed for a bit about not being able to keep up with my blogging, etc. But hey, I've been living in the moment... or, at least, trying to. So what if I haven't written in a while? Or taken a photo. Or read a book cover to cover. Sometimes life gets in the way. But more often than not, we get in the way of our lives. I'm trying to get out of my own way. And, you know what? I'm okay with that.
do you think God ever gets sad like “what do you mean you don’t love yourself i worked so hard on you….”
…why is this so uplifting
