Great article to read for the New Year of 2015. I learned so much from this article and have been applying it.

Red bottoms

She sat there laughing as he whispered sweet nothings in her ear. She was wearing an elegant black dress and crossed her legs to show off her already worn out louis vuitton heels. You know, the one with the red bottoms.  After dinner, she was prancing around doing acrobatic moves as if she was a five year old girl in a princess dress wearing a tiara on her head. "I wrote a book on Natural beauty," and pranced away happily in a carefree manner still doing her acrobatic moves... But everyone knew she was packing plastic. If Holden Caulfield was here he would call her a phony. But who isn't insecure and oxymoronic?

Let it be

I said I was going to be better. He said that I didnt need to do anything. Just be. We hugged and I felt his chest still dripping of water because he just took a shower. I still had the groceries on the side of my left hip and it was distracting me. I put it down and gave him a hug. I felt more wholly in that moment. -One of the best things we can do in life is letting go of the things that are not enabling us from the truth of each given moment in our lives-

The Masked Charming Bandit

She turned onto a street and saw a bunch of cats staring into the trees. As she walked by she saw a fat furry thing climb down- it was a raccoon. She hadn't seen one since she was a little girl. She opened the first gate to the building and there it was- just frozen staring at her.

"It could have ran away earlier but it's as if it waited for me," she thought. 

She wanted to get her phone out to take a picture but didn't want to scare it by her movement.

"Forget my phone.I need to be in the moment," she thought.

Then the raccoon sprinted up the trees as a neighbor came by on his bike.  

"The raccoon.The charming bandit with wears different masks carrying secrets and magical transformational qualities," she pondered.

It was looking for food.

"I discover the most interesting things when I move the car in the morning," as she put the groceries on the floor to open the door.

She sat there half naked with her long brown hair and sun kissed skin. She stared into the deep blue green ocean. She felt like she wanted to kiss the Sun, you see- because it was setting into the abyss, saying it's good bye, its farewell for now... "It's like what you see in the movies," she thought. And before she caught it it slipped away into the ocean effortlessly...swiftly. "Now I know what they mean when they say

                   U  S  E      Y  O  U  R      T  I  M  E     w i  s  e  l  y."

 But the Sun kept beaming into the sky, leaving a trey of        peach

                                                                                                     red

                                                                                                        orange...

it kept beaming, it kept.
