Yes! It's been a while I guess I don't actually have the time or motivation to blog, but I'm gonna keep this blog open all just to see how well I keep up. Here's something new. I made my first digital scrap page. It took me 2 hours b/c i was using power point and it was a bit difficult to size and position everything correctly. If you can't read the caption on the page, here you go... " On my trip to Miami this year, I was determined to get a tattoo. I have been contemplating for about a year about what I should get because this thing is permanent. I didn't want the typical Celtic symbol or something girly like a butterfly. I finally settled on the Adkinra symbol Sankofa. It's an ancient Ghanaian symbol meaning 'return and get it', a symbol of importance of of learning from the past."

Off-Track

My brain has been so clouded this past month that I have veered off of my road to fabulocity. I told myself (and friends) that I was planning to loose 10 lbs by the end of February. Um, yeah...THAT'S THIS FRIDAY! What have I done to complete this goal? Nothing! OK, not completely nothing. I have been adjusting my eating habits (no food after 9pm, cutback on junk, eat healthier snacks, eat more fiber and protein). I have been keeping up with that, however, I can't just loose weight by diet alone. I need exercise, which I have not do AT ALL during the month of February. I know, that is so not fabulous. I really do not have any reason for not working out, just laziness. But I am pushing back this goal to the end of March, maybe even mid-April (I know I'll have the stress from papers and exams to sabotage my goal) and giving myself a range of 5-10lbs. Although this is a very tough goal, I know I will try hard to achive it to get close. Wish me luck.

Fabulous In 2008

Hey People! I never thought that I would have a blog. I thought, "Who REALLY has time for this?" But as I began to survey my life, I realized that I have that time for this. I guess it's just a way for people to share their life experiences with others. I don't think that my life is that interesting but 2008 is going to be different. If have decided that 2008 is my year to be FABULOUS.

This is the word that I have chosen to live by in 2008. Why? The answer is 3 fold:

1. I was challenged by my neighbor Lisa Sanford (Enthnic Scrapbooking) to focus my year on one word.
2. I admire Kimora Lee Simmons sooooooooo much. She is the queen of Fabulosity (i.e. the are of being fabulous...this is not an fficial definition, just mine) and coined the idea of being fabulous.
3. This year is a milestone year for me. I turned 25 (January 17)! I have reached my quarter life and some of you may know what it was like to be 25 and trying to find or make you place in thins crazy world. There is no greater time for me to step up my game.

I believe that being fabulous will allow me to feel more comfortable being an adult in the world. All of my decision should be about making me happy and making my life better. Every decision that I make concerning my life would be most beneficial to me but considerate to others around me. Now don't get me wrong, some decisions may seem selfish to some people, however, please note that I have greatly considered someone or everyone else's involvement in it and how it will effect them and then balance out who is going to benefit from it and how it will fulfill me.

Wow! Who knew I had so much to say. (More to come...Stay tuned)
