Oh hey!!

....and just like that January has gone and without enough time to say our goodbyes were already on the 5th of February!

If your following me on Instagram you would have seen that I went from being bundled up to barely having on any clothes at all.  Why you might ask? Well on Jan 26th I said goodbye to 26 degree weather and hello to 80+ for the next five days. From Miami to Jamaica to the Cayman Islands, I was in heaven and I wish I could have taken you all with me!

The entire time I was just grateful to have had that experience.  The problems and worries of real life were left in DC and it was like I was living a dream, like I had the once in a lifetime chance to push pause on real life and just breathe.  I didnt once think about anything that was going on at home, it was just me, my friends and the adventures ahead of us. I found peace that I think without this trip would have never been found.

I ended January in a way that I would have never thought would have been possible and it made me go into February feeling refreshed and ready for whatever. I think we all need to be able to push the pause button on life and just breathe, gather our thoughts and release the troubles of reality.

Im Blessed!

Tanned hugs and peaceful love :)

it heals my soul

a five letter word that can do so much...MUSIC

Currently listening to Soulmate-Natasha Beddingfield...volume to the max drowning out my thoughts and negative vibes. With music I have a chance to travel to my own world where everything is perfect, the worries of reality and problems of the day dont exist and I am at peace.
All the things that troubled me no longer do as the words of the song seem to match the emotion and feeling that I was having, letting me know that "...I'm not the only one..."

Next on the playlist...Teach me a lesson-Robin Thicke, A lil bit-Drake feat Lykke Li and Starstruck-Santogold. Three totally different songs and yet it is still a smooth transition from one to the next...the beats make that place in my mind thats HECTIC and OVERWHELMED calm and carefree. Music is a drug gets me and lets me forget about my lows. Cheers-Rihanna and Sacred Temple-N.E.R.D gives me happy feet lol and then dancing becomes my thang! even though I have to sometimes be considerate when it comes to my family and them not necessarily wanting to hear the same music im listening to lol, i cant help but turn it up louder so that I can feel the music through my body!

Peace Happiness and Sanity from my speakers to my soul :)

Hugs and ℒℴѵℯ!

I gotta find Peace of mind

As I sit on a "cliff" trying to clear my thoughts, that Lauryn Hill song plays in my mental ipod. The weather was amazing and the slight breeze seemed to take all my worries and problems along with it. Im up there all alone..free and at peace...a feeling that I havent felt in a long time.

While I was up there I decided to catch up on my reading, which is currently "Eat Pray Love". I figured i read the book before I saw the movie but at this rate the movie wont be in theaters anymore lol. So i read about 5 pages and put the book down because I got a text (note: when trying to find peace NEVER bring your phone or at least put it on silent lol) and between the texts and me taking pics of the amazing view I soon realized that the reading thing was not gonna work. But I think just taking in everything worked alot better than reading anyway :) I really love transition weather..idk i guess its just calming! Not too hot and not real cold and the breeze is like a personal massage its def one the healthiest things ive done for myself in a while and I need to do it more often!

You guys kno I have to take pics..its just what I doooo! lol
