Distractions

Life has been hard lately. I moved out to San Diego with job prospects, however as a pilates instructor, building clientele at your job is something that takes time. So, now I am stuck in client-building limbo...and feeling the financial effects of barely working.

It's times like this that really make me depend on God...but also question my life and choices and discernment. I prayed about whether I should come out here a lot, and while I didn't feel and overwhelming sense of yes..I didn't hear no either. I love it here and am so excited about the place I am working. I love pilates and love teaching and helping clients. SO, I'm looking for other jobs to help support me in the meantime...however, it's hard to not ask God why? a lot.

BUT, for now as I am dwindling down to my last dime and putting in applications to anyone who will take them...I've found some distractions I thought I'd share.

(1) My new favorite website: www.diegoonadime.com is a super fun place to find ideas on how to explore San Diego cheaply. So Fun!

(2) Also, I've been running a lot more since it's free. I found my new favorite website www.mapmyrun.com to help find popular routes and map my own. Yesterday we ran the rim of Fiesta Island and it was so fun. It's this barren island of only beach and a dog park. There is something about the smell of ocean, sand, and campfire. AHH! BLISS!!

Let's try this again...again...

Much like in my younger years when it came to devoting myself to a journal or diary...so am I with this blog. I really like the idea of it...however the faithful execution of it all just falls the the wayside. But, as people do when they find themselves at a personal impasse, I will pick myself up and get back on the blogging wagon. Plus, now that I am an owner of a new Macbook...I feel more mature and geared up for the task at hand.

This whole new blogging start was spurred on by my deep dwelling desire to try my hand again at a journal...I used to be so faithful to them, but, much like this blog, in recent history I have fallen astray. I've had a lot of change going on in my life lately. But, I figured since most times some sort of profound revelation or, in the very least, humorous anecdotes comes out of processing through your life....why not share mine? Plus, as you will learn as I dive into the depths of my current circumstance, I am in what I call "a non-elective financial-fast" (I'm poor) and blogging was the more frugal option; Investing in a journal that may only see and entry or two did not seem like a good investment. So here is goes....

An update of my life since 2008:

1) I finished my Pilates Certification (insert confetti)
2) I met a boy: Israel Alejandro Woolfolk (aka Izzy). This picture pretty much sums up our relationship ;-)

3) I moved to San Diego!

4) And I'm currently working at this kick-ass gym...but without clients yet I am desperately seeking more work:


...Which pretty much brings you up to speed on things. At least the upside of my barely there employment is that I'll have time to blog...hopefully!
