Just a girl trying to get by:) I have a really great life and I've been through quite a bit...but as cliche as it sounds, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
To the disciples, Yogananda often said, “Be patient in your yoga practice. A plant won’t grow the moment you plant the seed. ‘Make haste slowly,’ as the saying goes. It may take time to achieve the results you long for, but the more you practice, the more you will see your life changing.
“The day will dawn at last when you won’t even recognize yourself as the person you were.
Stuck in Boston for the hurricane….so I’m attempting (and not doing very well) to write my Statement of Purpose…
So I’m moving to Vegas in almost a month and now I’m trying to get my MSW program shit together. I should just wait. Seeing as I won’t graduate until next fall anyways…ugh. Impatienttttt.
I’m pretty much a horrible blogger…moving is taking over my life. But I’ll get my shit together soon:)
Whenever I write or publish a post about following your heart professionally, inevitably someone comments that it’s far easier said than done. I completely understand this instinct. After all, most of us don’t start with a massive nest egg that allows us to explore our passions without concern for financial security.
I also understand when people get frustrated by articles that suggest making a living with your passion is a simple step-by-step process.
It’s not always easy to do what you love for a career, and there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It can be challenging, frustrating, and sometimes scary to discover your word and put your heart into it–and let’s face it, some people have greater advantages than others.
That being said, we all have the same time in our days, and we all have choices to make.
We can choose to identify what we love, or we can simply do what we have to do to get by.
We can choose to spend our free time complaining about how little of it we have, or we can use our available hours to nurture our interests and gifts.
We can choose to get bogged down by uncertainty and the possibility of failure, or we can focus on the little successes and trust that they’re all adding up.
They do. It may not seem like it in the moment, when you’re not sure if your efforts will pay off. But if you make it a priority to discover and follow your bliss, you just might find that happiness lies in the following, not where it’s leading.
Today if you feel lost about your passions and goals, remember: If your heart is in the right place, your mind will learn and find a way.
whether they live 3 minutes away or 3,000 miles away.
You love who you love for who they are as a person which makes you WILLING to suffice with the fact that they live so far away.
Is it a choice? No.
Feelings grow even if you don’t expect it. So stop saying you think long distance is dumb or doesn’t work. It’s not true. It may be hard but if you seriously love the person you’re with, love does fucking beat distance.

I forgot what that feeling is like. To be feeling the clock ticking down until I have to get on that plane and go home. Leaving the person who feels like home.
I hate this. 2.5 hours left. Stupid distance.
T-Minus 11 hours:) <3
I have no clothes.
Why do I have so much crap, but when I need to pick stuff for *VEGAS*, I’ve got nothing!
Not sure if any of my followers are actually reading this, but if you are, feel free to shoot me some ideas for cute stuff. Because I’m drawing a huge blank.
Since I know we are going out a little, but this trip is much more intended for me to spend time with the boy (who I haven’t seen in a year and a half!)…so yeah. Help please:)

I actually miss this sometimes.
Its not 29 I miss as much as the people. But then again 29 taught me that those who should be in your life and actually matter enough, will be.
I have learned that even after a year and a half of not talking, things can go right back to how they are supposed to be. And as much as I didn’t ever want to trust another male ever again, there is something about him. I love having my best friend back. And I can’t wait to see if we go back to the way our relationship was evolving:)
I love being happy again:)
