Woman on a Growing Mission

I promised ya'll I would try to give a life update every couple of months. I do this so that my supporters can feel a little closer to me, and I can make you all feel more comfortable asking me things. I really do appreciate when I write something personal, and someone contacts me because they can relate. 

As some of you recall, I was taking five classes this semester. Like any class, you usually start off with the best of grades. Then as life gets in the way they sometimes shift around. Long story short, I had to drop one of my classes because I was barely hanging on. In a college course you are better off withdrawing from a class before the withdraw date, rather than get a low grade on it. GPA is everything. Needless to say, I will NEVER be taking 5 college courses while having a full time job again. I have all good grades in the four that I still do have though thank God. I have been listening to classical music while I study and I have seen an improvement in my grades. This is something that I will continue to do now. Music really is medicine. Hope you all give it a try and tell me if you see any changes in about 5-6 weeks.

I have been working out more, still working on the whole healthy eating life. I am a sweets fanatic, don't put a cake in my face and not expect to me take a bite. I take the "love you like a fat kid loves cake" to another level. I am still doing my Bikram yoga religiously, and run about two times a week when time allows it. I will be signing up for a gym membership this week, even though I hate indoor workouts unless I am doing yoga. If I ate cleaner I would be even more bad ass. I hope that in the next few months I will be able to post an awesome before and after picture. 

I am still single as a dolla bill in this crazy world. I have no time for myself sometimes, much less a significant other. I have actually been on Tinder for networking purposes. I have met some cool people in there too. Been out on a couple of dates, but nothing serious at all. It is a cool app for young adults wanting to get out once in a while. I do wish I had a little more time on my hands, so that I can meet people the good ol organic way.

I have been giving more thought to the whole ordeal of donating my eggs to a needing couple. It is still something I want to pursue, just need to find time to sacrifice. A lot goes into this beautiful process. I need to be able to balance the hormones, school, work and life. It is a stressful process on it's own that needs to go as smooth as possible. I am however really wanting to freeze my eggs by next year. I am still old school when it comes to having kids. I do not look down on folks who have had kids without marriage first, but it is how I would want to have mine. So since I am nowhere near having a husband, why not freeze my eggs? I figured If I want some children at 34-35 I can have 24-25 year old eggs to flex with. I will let you all know when I go through the process.

I had in mind to head to Los Angeles and San Diego this month, but that may be a held off trip. I do still plan to take a trip before my summer classes begin on May 10th. I will be blogging from wherever it is I choose to travel to, so be on the lookout. This summer, I am taking a social media class to help with my blog and other social networks, a yoga course for the exercise and practice, as well as a fundamental of speech course. I am excited for this semester to end, and the next to begin. I am just getting closer, and closer to my goal and it feels amazing.

I hope you all enjoyed my small update. Sometimes life can get really hectic, but you have to learn to see the best of it all. I am not here to say that bad days won't happen, but I am here to say that you WILL get through them. Stay focused, love yourself and attempt to be the happiest you can be. Make sure you surround yourself around people who want more for you, and people who have reached success, or are well on their way. If you are 18 or 58, life is always meant to be lived and growth is always meant to be done. I thank you all for the endless support. Times when I want to throw in the towel, someone sends me a picture of somewhere I blogged on, or I get a message asking for guidance and I get back in. I am grateful for this beautiful journey, and for all of you showing me love. Remember to always "Love and allow to be loved".
