Lesson learned!

Jealousy! The green monster we should all truly be afraid of! It can hurt people beyond belief...and I've learned that its better to get it out! Even if its just writting it on a piece of paper & then ripping the paper and making confetti...then trying really hard to get past it! Most likely by then writting down what your gratful for, and maybe some big dreams, and keeping that piece in a place you can see it! Even if you don't think jealousy is an issue for you now, keep this in mind, or try it anyway, you may find its just deep inside. Trust me get it out and take care of it! No matter the feeling, if its not positive get it out and done with! AND no matter whats going on take a min. to write down the things you are thankful for, it helps with the holiday stress, and makes you feel better!

Happy Holidays! (& remember to LIVE LAUGH LOVE)

I actually have a huge to do list for school/the holidays/other random commitments! I need to update my planner actually! I'll post some funny pics to make up for my MIA-ness & to add some smile to everyones stress! Though I really hope your holiday stress hasn't started yet...and that it won't either!

Thats just plain cool!

Buenas noches!

Hi guys! Sorry for the absence! I had a wicked bad cold! I didnt even work out last week! Thats rare for me! Anyway! I've always been obsessed with Traveling! But now I'm recording Sam Browns Passport to Europe almost everyday...as long as I remember! The BEST Christmas gift I've ever gotten was my Dvd player/recorder! I highly HIGHLY recommend one! And I've been working little by little on my spanish! I don't think I'm going to be able to fit the class into my school schedule...so I'm teaching myself! I bought a 9 language basic cd-rom its awesome-9 languages! like Spanish, Russian, Chinesse, Japnesse, Portugese, Italian, etc! But its very basic words. So I also have a dictionary and I found the Spanish New Testament for $1! lol So I read that sometimes! And I watch movies I've seen a lot in spanish-well sometimes, being immersed in it is important, some colleges offer intensive classes that last a few weeks, where you seriously learn a language in a few weeks, mostly because you don't hear english at all, only when you call your family, which is only a few times! So I'll try my own less darastic approach! lol And I really hope I can learn a new language every few years! Up till I'm about 90-100! Believe me I'll travel as long as I can! I get a high from thinking about traveling and learning new languages! It makes me feel kinda geeky! In a good way though! Now I must go, and get a little work done, and then get some sleep, since I havent had much this week!

Ashlee!

Most inspirational lecture ever!

I actually watched this in one of my classes, my teacher thought it was really inspirational, and hoped it would teach us something! It certainly opened my eyes a lot!


Enjoy....I LOVE this....I hope it inspires you as much, or more than, it did me....and PLEASE forward it on!

Live, Laugh, Love,

Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.=Someone should clue in 99% of the celebs in this world! lol

One quote that I found a while ago, and after rereading it earlier....it clicked a little harder this time....
For every failure, there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.-Mary Kay Ash

*I have a feeling I'm going to be finding a lot of detours in the next few weeks! Like working around all the stuff I have going on, ie school, sports, working out, I need to find a job once the fall season is over, spending time with friends and family, and sleep! I am sooooo sleep deprived right now, its not even funny! So my advice to you, when you come to a hurdle, try and jump it, if it does work, go under it! lol

Another Quote that I love today=To believe in yourself and to follow your dreams, to have goals in life and a drive to succeed, and to surround yourself with the things and the people that make you happy - this is success! -Sasha Azevedo

The American way!

Okay....so tonight I have 2 kinda random grips to share! lol So you know the show American Princess? Well....if there really would be an American Princess wouldnt she be the classic "Girl Next Door" kinda girl, sure prob rich, but still? Tea drinking, wine tasting (not just drinking! lol), polo not baseball! I just don't get that! Not many people in America are propper and English like that! lol Maybe my Nana, but even then, she still makes and eats lost of Apple Pies and watches Baseball, well when Papa makes her! lol Sorry, random rant!

And....I had another random Patriotic rant.... but I can't remember it! TTYL guys!

Stress?

Everyone gets stressed from time to time!?!? Its one of those inevidable things in life! But how do you deal? What are your stress busting secrets?

My stratagies vary depending....but tea is a good one! And showering! Long showers are the best! Also going for a run, doing some intense crunches, planks, squats, etc. -that has major benefits since it can help you feel better AND look better! lol Another fav is watching a good movie or show, or even if I dont have a lot of time, find some clips of movies and shows on youtube, watch a music video, or one of those cheesy pieced together movies about the Harry Potter love triangle, or the way that person wanted the Jess-Rory-Dean thing to work out! All of it helps get your mind off of things...and usually make you LAUGH! Laughing is soooo important to me when I want to beat stress! Or just anytime! lol Last and most certainly NOT least, would be a nice piece of dark chocolate, hopefully followed by sleep!

These are mine? What are yours? (I'd love comments on how you deal!)

Thanks!
