The Dark Night Shooting

Yet another "safe" place crossed off the list due to today's tragic shooting. What should have been a great midnight showing ended up in tears of sorrow, fear and shock as 71 people got shot, 12 of whom died. The shooter? A 24 year old male who dropped out of graduate school.

With no obvious motive, it is mind boggling how one can draw out an entire action plan to hurt so many innocent people. What is it that led him up to this act of evil? What is running through his mind as he silently sits in the investigation room? And what does his family think of the entire tragedy?

It is moments like these I am thankful for everything and everyone I have in my life. Without you I would not know love, and without love I would not know Life!

I pray for all those who have been touched by this incident and I send my love to all those who need it most. May you feel the warmth around you and refrain from commiting such darkness.

All you need is Love.

Feeling Pretty in Cali

When your Mind, Body and Soul are all in sync it's amazing how much better the world feels!  Flowers become more vibrant, the breeze begins to dance around you, birds sing the prettiest song and the sun shines brighter and warmer than ever.

If you feel lost then make it a point to find yourself. 
The feeling of love, confidence and purpose are well worth it.

Great Message

I came across this message about a week ago and it was just refreshing to be reminded that we are our own person and that we are ultimately in control of our own destiny.  This message exceeds that of health, it can be applied to anything you really want in life.  So embrace this message and take responsibility for who you are and if you are unhappy with the way things are then you must make the changes accordingly!


Peace, Love and... Control.

My Birthday BBQ

My cousins asked me what I was doing for my birthday but I'm clearly on the Ultimate Reset so I wanted to keep things on the DL.  They decided to throw me a birthday BBQ which was really sweet of them and since I cannot eat any animal products during this 2nd phase, I told them they could eat their burgers and whatnot but leave me to my fruits, veggies and grains. 

So I looked in my fridge and got some of my colorful foods out.  I cut up the locally grown bell peppers, cucumbers, and squash and made vegetable shish kabobs.  We put a tad of seasoning and added some pineapple and voila!  They were absolutely de-lish!


Loving the freshness!


Chop, chop, chopped.


Skewed.


This is one of my cousins doing the grilling.



Oh the COLORS!!  How they make me happy!!  =))

Beginning the Ultimate Reset

I decided to start my Ultimate Reset journey on July 4th just because it's recommended to start on a Wednesday.  Since I was relaxing on a boat this weekend, I thought I might as well blog about this in a video for you all.  I'm not very good at being recorded in front of a camera (haha) so please don't judge me.  In either case, watch this and follow me as I try out Beachbody's latest cleanse!

Recap of July 4th


I spent a couple hours out with some ladies and gentlemen (not pictured) at the bay.
We are Eurasians and Bolivians, but we are also proud to be Americans.


I had such a great time hanging out in the sun.  I hung out on the water float, jet skiied and chugged on my distilled water.  It was my first day doing the ULTIMATE RESET and holiday or not, I wasn't going to detract from my goals of fully cleansing myself.



Later in the evening, I was lucky enough to watch 4 firework shows from different angles on a rooftop tonight.  Here is a collection of some of the pretty stars I caught mid-explosion.

I hope you all enjoyed your day as much as I did! 
Stay safe and hydrated during this weather and remember, LIFE IS GOOD!

Happy Birthday, America!!

I hope you all are happy to have the day off! In spirit of the Holiday, remember what we are celebrating and be THANKFUL for our nation's INDEPENDENCE and for our rights to be free.  Embrace this FREEDOM and respect it.  Love yourself, love your nation, and learn to love each other.  We are a proud country!

Happy Birthday, America!  Today we celebrate as One!


Enjoying some fresh air in the shade with my baby, Moki. 
I got this dress from Cali and thought it was appropriate to wear on this very day.
Red, White and Blue!

Embrace The Moment

During Summit my phone died so I had to get a new one.  I decided to get the latest iPhone so I guess that makes me part of the Apple family now!  One thing I did with my HTC that I will continue to do with my iPhone is to constantly refresh my phone's wallpaper and images with things that keep me focused, motivated and thinking positively.  This is my current lock screen and home screen. =))




As you can see these are my reminders to be mindful and appreciative. Try not to take things for granted because you are luckier than you know!!  And yes, I know I am completely overwhelmed with emails haha!
