"Dee, my mission is clear!"

Listening to 90's on 9 and Lithium channel on SirusXM brings a certain nostalgia that I as a Libra love dearly.  It mainly reminds me of simpler times. The music brings back memories of hanging with my favorite cousin Lauri and growing up as young ladies finding our own identities.  It reminds of junior high when I met my future husband Rob.  I always wondered who I'd end up marrying and never in a million years thought it would be this kid who hung in the same circle as me back then. Other secrets of our past I will not disclose ;) Oh how Life is humorous.

It got me thinking about what inspired me back then.  Cher Horowitz inspired me to dress unique and not give a crap what anyone thought.  Tae Kwon Do inspired me to be confident and disciplined.  Silverchair and Pearl Jam inspired me to give 89x and alternative rock a chance.  Internal motivation inspired me to work hard to be the best at everything I did!

Sometime in between the end of high school til now, I have lost that internal motivation.  Whether it was the college parties, the sorority row or the fraternity boys (the rest you can read in my future book), I have got off track.  I don't have regrets in life and truly believe that things happen for a reason.  But I also believe that we make our own path  and the decisions that we make can alter our lives completely.

It's time to get my mojo back.   I used to want this particular goal of mine to be fulfilled for monetary value.  This is the wrong focus! I now to want to achieve this goal because I am good enough and smart enough to do it! I deserve it and I will continue to work hard to achieve it, just like I have done with everything else in my life.

I've become inspired by new and exciting ideas and goals. My bag of yarn inspires me to knit something wonderful. My great grandmother's sewing machine inspires me to learn quilt making just like grandma did.  The books on my shelf are dying for me to read them; I am inspired to take up pleasure reading permanently. DIY projects inspire me to make our future baby's nursery a dream come true.  Vegetable, fruits and all other yummy foods inspire me to cook healthily for my family.  Oh, I still dress the way I want and don't give a crap hehe.

My new goal is to live happily ever with inspiration coming out of my ears :)

All my love ,
Angela

  1. Aw, you are so adorable! I love 90's on 9 and Lithium too! I just posted about Lithium on facebook last week! :) Such wonderful memories back when you were listening to 96.3 and I called you a poser! lol :) I love you so much and I am proud of your determination and your motivation. You are on your way to getting your mojo back (although I think you never truly lost it!) and you are going to continue to do great things as you always have! <3 I am here for you always!
