The Precious

Wow. I've had a really crazy month. I dealt with sudden illness and then death. And now I'm dealing with the sudden illness of a best friend as well as another person in my immediate family. It's so scary what we deal with as human beings. We get up everyday, go to school or work, hopefully have dinner with family and friends and then go to sleep, in preparation of doing it all over again the next day. We just get into this pattern and we assume that it will never change. We see bad things happen in someone else's life and yet we somehow assume that it will never happen to us as if we're invincible of some sort. But this month has truly reminded me of just how precious our lives are; how Important it is to cherish moments and cherish eachother. You're entire life can be changed in a split second and unfortunately, nothing is guaranteed.
So with all that being said; I vow to cherish the moments, to make time for more dinners, to tell the people around me just how much I love and appreciate them and I will call home more often instead of saying that there will be time later because the truth is, you never know what tomorrow will bring.
This isn't meant to be depressing by any means though, it's meant to be inspiring. Because we can control our present moments and we can make sure that we always do what's best, right here and right now! Remember "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present.". -- Joan Rivers
Enjoy this gift of life that we've all been given. Don't take it for granted.

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

People are always asking me how I do it. Where do I find the energy? "Aren't you tired Thara?" they say...
I think that Lady Gaga said something to this effect but i don't know exactly what she said but I can tell you my opinion on it!
Whats the point of sleeping when there's still so much work to be done!? So much that I still want to achieve! So much more healthy food for me to eat!? So much more that I think I'm supposed to share with the world.
My feeling on it is that you're only young once. We have these opportunities that come and go everyday and I don't want to be the one to lose them because I was too busy sleeping. Their's always someone else who will work harder than me or get up earlier than me or take more meetings than me!
I certainly don't even do everything that I wish I could do in a day but at least I try. Cuz that's all I can really do right. Try to squeeze it all in and create my destiny.
That's all any of us can do! Don't let the opps pass you by. Take advantage of every minute of everyday. Seize your moment. Seize your life and then in the end, there'll be plenty of time for sleeping. :o)

For My Lovers...

Someone "Anonymous" made a good comment to me.  They wondered, when I get so many wonderful and sweet comments on Twitter, why do I only seem to respond to the negative ones.  And you know what?!  You're right!  Sometimes in life we all fall into the trap of focusing on the wrong things.  We focus on the guy who doesn't like us when their's a line of others who'd love to date us!  Or we focus on the one girl in school who isn't nice to us and take for granted the great group of friends that we already have.  
So this is for all the wonderful people who post wonderful comments on my twitter.  I am making a new rule to retweet one nice comment per week that one of our wonderful followers post.  I"m going to focus on what I do have and the ones who do show me love.  
Sometimes I think that I don't like to post the nice comments because I don't want to feel like I'm showing off or bragging.  And then when I retweet a negative post, it's because I do believe that we should only be posting positivity on each other's pages.  So I out that person as a way to teach them a lesson I guess.  But truth is, I probably can't change them anyways.  So I should just do what I do and only focus on spreading my own positivity and let the haters quietly hate; cuz they always will regardless of me or anyone else trying to teach them a lesson.  And just a little note - if you don't like my tweets or my blog, then you don't need to follow me! lol I mean I really only want to share with the people who want to be shared with anyways.
So to all my fam out there,  thanks for all the love you share with me and I hope I can continue to share my light and love with all of you!  Have a wonderful Monday and start your week with a fresh outlook and a new feeling of hope because today you have the chance to start this week from scratch!

To Be OR Not To Be

All we can do in this life is just be.  Be who we are; be who we want to be; be our best and sometimes not be quite enough.  And even that is ok.  We have to except all the different parts of our being because they are all real and they are all true as long as our intention is always based from a place of goodness.
Sometimes I am the superwoman that people expect me to be and on those days I feel full and satisfied.  But the actual key to being your best you is to be fully satisfied with yourself, even on the days when you are not your best.  Because we are not perfect.  We are human.  And part of being human means making mistakes and not being perfect.  But the best part of being human is that we can learn and we can grow and we can try, try again.
So just be.   Be in the moment, be in the present.  Be your best YOU!

Note to Pilots

So I've just arrived from my 4 hour 42 minute flight from San Francisco. The pilot seemed to be quite proud of this short flying time. I on the other hand was not. That was my night's sleep on that plane. So do us a favor, take your time getting us home on those night flights. No need to rush! That was all the sleep I was gonna get!

Welcome!

Ok so I decided to start a blog!  I feel like I have lots of little tid bits that I want to share but sometimes there just isn't enough space on twitter.  I have no idea where this will go but I just thought it would be a fun space for me to share my thoughts with the world.  Who knows who'll want to read this but I guess we'll find out and hopefully I'll make someone laugh, or I'll inform you of something you didn't know or maybe you'll just find it plain interesting.
So welcome! And I look forward to sharing with you...
