FRIDAY'S LETTERS // COFFEE DATE FRIDAY







FRIDAY'S LETTERS

Dear Bloggers: I am thrilled to be back, and blogging on a personal basis vs. business. Dear Vincenso: I am so happy we've been able to spend so much time together lately because of spring break. Dear MCAT: you truly freak me out, but I need to stop avoiding you. Dear Core: you really shouldn't be this sore from the tiny five minute work out last night...yikes! Dear Yoga: I miss you. I promise I'm coming back to practicing you regularly. Dear Running Shoes: As soon as the sun melts, be prepared to get out regularly. Dear Snow: I'm done. We're done. I believe I told you this weeks ago. It's really time you move on ...

COFFEE DATE FRIDAY

If we were having coffee this morning, I'd tell you, that this link-up, was one of the main things I missed about blogging! I loved reading about everyone else's days, I love all the inspiring bloggers out there and I really truly think this link up by Alissa collects some of the best! I also missed getting to share my stories with all of you. Never-the-less, I've made some changes to my life since I last linked up. First off- I've changed blogs! ---but you can read about that in the about me if you care. I am thrilled to be able to use this blog to express all my interests now. Fashion, DIYs, and maybe recipes! Who knows?

Secondly- I've been making a huge effort to try to live a healthier lifestyle. I was such a couch potato, rarely getting exercise, always eating unhealthy, typically fast food because I serious couldn't cook and thought I was really too busy to bother. Now I'm no fitness-expert or any where close to it, but even the little changes I've made has made me feel so much better. A few considerable changes I've made was almost cutting fast food completely out of my diet, not 100% but definitely no where close to the 4 or 5 nights a week we had been eating it. I also took up yoga, haven't been able to experience the real thing in a class, but there are so many amazing yogis on Instagram that I've been able to use them and their challenges to regularly practice yoga from a little before new years, to mid February. Admittedly, there has been about three weeks now where I haven't been able to practice everyday, but I know its the big picture that counts, not the small ones in between :]

Lastly- I might be going to medical school! That is, if I can convince any schools to take me. My GPA isn't what most are looking for, and I have yet to take the MCAT. I broke down one night to Vince, crying and him looking at me completely lost as to what was wrong. I was finally able to admit to myself that I want it so badly, that my biggest thing holding me back is my fear to fail. Which seemed so absurd to him, he's always been so supportive of everything I've ever dreamed of, to him the chance of me failing didn't exist. So he held me, and gave me a pep talk, and told me how much he loved me, and believed in me. He reassured me if I can't make medical school work, we'll find something else, and promised he wouldn't care if I wound up a poor hippie trying to teach yoga for a living. ❤  I'm still terribly scared of failing, but I think I'm finally a little more scared of not trying, then I am to fail. 

Its times like these, I am so thankful god put someone so perfect in my life.
