Today is Day 2 of my Detox and it was a little challenging only because I didn't have enough meals...meaning salads. The first 4 days of the detox are usually the toughest because your body is adjusting to the lack of regular food. I do have a lot of energy thou as long as I keep on feeding the beast:) Whether it be almonds, granola, salads or fruit. I detox because it challenges me mentally and puts me in such a focused zone that I usually feel incredible once I complete it. It lasts 21 days so its only the beginning:/ ...I will try to give updates here and there...Today was a six for me!

SOMETHING SPECIAL

Have you ever had something so special that you couldn't imagine your life without it? Was it a sentimental keepsake, a bond with a family member or a significant other? As I take this crazy journey thru this thing called "Life" its amazing how people and things that are special to me light up like little neon signs. These signs help me find my way down dark roads and they bring light and a certain warmth to an otherwise cold place. Im so thankful for the many special things and people in my life. These things and people are rare and thats precisely what makes them special! I just wanted to say Im thankful for the things and people that are special to me in my life.

HAPPY SMURFDAY TO ALL THE CANCERS!!!

I had to give a special acknowledgement to all the cancers out there. Not to say that any of the other signs in the zodiac aren't as special but Cancers hold a dear place in my heart. My best friend happens to be a cancer, most of my ex boyfriends were cancers:), and some of my closest friends are cancers. They are sensitive, caring people that go above and beyond for the ones they love and I appreciate those who are in my life and the ones who filled my heart in the past. So with that being said, continue to shine and make this world a better place!!! Happy Smurfday Cancers!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG POPPA!!!!

"LONG HAIR DONT CARE"

So the other day I was doing a little bit of household shopping in Target (gotta love that store for the tids and bits you can find) and I saw an African American female shopper with a terrible wig on;/. Picture this if you will... strawberry blond, synthetic, natted up BEYOND belief in sections and all the way down her back, with some bangs. This lady sashayed down the aisles with so much confidence flipping that hair from side to side and it was obvious she thought her hair do was "the shit". I had to stop and ask myself why do African American women in particular put sooo much emphasis on the hair we have on top of our head? This poor lady clearly had poor sense of judgement and nobody around her to tell her that that wig was NOT it. I'm really not trying to clown her or judge her either it just made me realize that having hair down to her back (whether it was hers or not) made that woman feel a certain way.

...cut to two days later, I went to check out the movie "BABIES". a Documentary about four different cultures: Mongolian, African, American and Japanese. Four babies from four different parts of the world and how they were raised. I could help but notice that the poorest family being the Africans, they barely had a hut or ANYTHING for that matter but the females spent most of their day doing each others hair???? WHERE DID THEY GET HAIR FROM to make these extentions when the babies didn't even have diapers or shoes or clothing???? It bugged me out to say the least but even in a society where they had NOTHING, HAIR was still a major priority for them. Long Hair Don't Care!!!

Hollywood: City of Lost Angels

I don't wanna get too deep with this but hear me out... ME= grounded, humble, hard working, honest, loyal, real, cultured, creative, intelligent HOLLYWOOD= flighty: one day people are cool with you the next day they don't even know your name. Conceited: its all about the facade! Half of the folks out here are faking the life they really want to live. Easy way out: people would rather sit on their ass than actually bust a lil sweat to accomplish things. Liars: lies, lies and fairytales!!!! Disloyal: smile in your face and be the first person to betray you. Fake: everything from titties to asses are all fake. Uncultured: culture just doesn't exist out here?? Lame: rarely do you find people with an actual clue concerning style, game and just swagger. Stupid: if you come from a city like NY people are just see thru out here. DISCLAIMER: Im finding that most LA born and raised natives are NOT the people with these issues, its the damn transplants!!!

My POINT in saying all of this is its hard from time to time to ignore these type of surroundings because Im in this crazy industry where I have to deal with these type of people on a day to day basis. Its draining to my soul sometimes but I do know that Im here for a reason, a damn good one at that! So I find my peace when the sun shines and warms my heart (which is almost everyday:), when I conquer that canyon, when I go to church and feel the love, and when I meet precious special people that are NOT any of those characteristics above...those are the true angels to me, everyone else is just lost!
