I CAN DO THIS

True lasting success comes only with surrender, which is the opposite of control.

Most of us were raised and live in a culture that emphasizes the ideals of independence and control. The general idea is that we are on our own and we don’t need any help from anyone else, and if we are really successful it’s because we are in complete control. However, true lasting success comes only with surrender, which is the opposite of control. We cannot accomplish anything truly great on our own, without any help, and the idea that we can is an illusion that causes most of us a great deal of suffering. Surrender comes when we see that illusion and let go of trying to attain the impossible. Surrender can then be seen as a great strength rather than a weakness.

Even small moments of surrender are powerful indicators of how different our lives could be if we would only let go. We’ve all had the experience of extending huge amounts of effort and energy to reach a particular goal only to realize that we can’t make it happen after all. At the moment of letting go, realizing that we need to ask for help or simply release our agenda entirely, a profound feeling of relief may rush over us. This warm, open sensation is the essence of surrender, and if we didn’t feel that we didn’t really let go. But it is never too late to let go, even of things in the past that didn’t work out the way we wanted them to, because surrender is always an option in every moment of our lives. 

When we finally do surrender, our goals actually become possible, because the act of surrender is, in essence, asking for the help we need. This help may come in the form of other human beings or unseen helpers such as angels or inner guides. It may also come in the form of shifting circumstances, the small miracles that we call grace.

Feeling Good Feeling Great!!

sooo i'm thinking ZUMBA is a necessary part of my weekly routine. The beginning of this week was stress on top of aggravation. waking up late, babies screaming ( having no mercy). monday i finally made the effort to get out and find a zumba class. turns out this particular studio had changed their class times and by the time i made it, zumba was over and 30 min of hip hop was left. (i stayed for the remainder of hip hop but it wasn't what i needed)

tuesday was equally stressful and before i decided to give up on getting out, i managed to find a tad bit of motivation left and located a zumba class that was much closer to home and FREE. needless to stay it was an awesome class and i will be returning.

oh back to why zumba is soooo necessary, i woke up at 6 am (1.5hours before the twins). had two cups of coffee, got some work done on the computer. made breakfast (with no screaming babies in the background). and still embraced by all the LOVE, HUGS, KISSES i received from TX and OK. I believe it was all because of a really great workout, that wore me out physically, which made me sleep better, which made my body respond by getting up naturally.

feeling good feeling great!

Dear God. Thank You. Amen.

GOOD NEWS...

Soooo rough week so far...however, i finally made it to my first ZUMBA class and it was AWESOME! But the even better news is i manage to find my inner network (who has not made an appearance since leaving ATX) passed out flyer's, answered questions and i got my first event booking! WOOOOHOOO yay!

A day with the cousins...

Brianna had soooo much FUN she actually had food ..lol

i feel rejected...

soooo while i'm waiting on my flyers and new business cards to arrive, i decided to look online for freelance photography jobs. I responded to the following ad:

her response:

mind you i really don't know how much i should charge her because i don't know how long she would need me (according to her post) and unknown photographers prices start around $1200, so i felt like i was being generous. I'm not exactly sure how i should feel about this. or if i should even respond... i feel rejected ... "i'm an artist and i'm sensitive about my ish" ~Erykah Badu
