My first day of training for the new job was AWESOME. I'm in LOVE! I'm feeling very confident that I'll do well in this industry. Yeeees, I knooooow its only been one day. But the trainer is solid and really knows his stuff, the information is concise and interesting....and I nailed my very first sales presentation in front of the group today. YESSSSSSSS!
And another quick note......
MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) is the best workout in the WOOOOORLD and I've never had such a great time. And I'm saying this after I got elbowed in the face tonight and my body is so sore I can hardly move. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Sing For The Cure
Wow.
That's all I can say about the 'Sing For The Cure' concert I just performed in. It was incredible! I couldn't BE more proud. Talent POURS out of each person....from the most talented director I've ever worked with, to the musicians that sound like they were hand picked by John Williams himself, to each singer who gave their voice..... I was blown away! I WISH everyone I've ever met could have been there.
For your viewing pleasure....
It was a powerful, emotional performance dedicated to those who have won or lost their battles with breast cancer. Many tears were shed, many stories were told, and I'm grateful to have contributed to the message of hope that evening. Again, WOW.

Winds of change
The tides are ever changing in my life. Its scary, but exciting....always. I might be crazy, but I am looking at a career change starting...um.......Monday. To accomodate this new endeavor, I slashed my hours at the spa to weekends only. The good news about that is they were willing to keep me on for weekends at all.....the other good part of that weekends are the busiest spa days. If there is money to be made, its on the weekend.
I start my new job Monday morning. I will be sitting. I will be on the phone. I will be dressed in business casual. OMG....can I DO this?? :) Guess I'm growing up? I'll never give up massage entirely.....I love it too much. But real estate and business ventures drive my ambition through the roof, and with this change, I'll be working with loans....learning real estate from the inside out. Its a sales driven career and I've never really done sales.....but I know customer service, I know people......so I think I'll do well anyway. I'm ready. Bring it!

Five Hundred, Twenty-Five Thousand, Six Hundred Minutes....How do you measure a Year??
When life gets hard, its easy to get caught up in the day to day dramas. When the bills are rolling in, money is hard to come by, and relationships are in the toilet....its even easier to get distracted. Enter ME....queen of the easily distracted.
So to lift my spirits, I took my melancholy self on a date to see my favorite musical of all time....RENT. The reason I love it so much is the message..... measure your time in LOVE, treat each moment as if it's your last because there is no day but today. Most of us are plotting and planning for the future, or miserable or lamenting about our past rather than committing to this moment RIGHT NOW.
I'm not saying kick back and forget your responsibilities, or that your past doesn't matter......but what happens to us isn't who we are, and at the end of the day, the LOVE we have and share is really what matters. So be present in everything you do..... measure your time in LOVE because there is NO DAY BUT TODAY!

A belated Birthday Bash
Birthday sentiments from the Montage Beverly Hills Hotel are quite elaborate, indeed. Every employee gets a complimentary one night stay as a Birthday gift, and you have a year to cash in. This Sunday, I did just that.....and had the time of my life!!
I took my BFF whom we will call E. We started the day with a kick ass workout with Zammers who has been training E for the last month or so. He killed us, but it was really fun to have a workout buddy and someone to whine with as our muscles were giving out. We went directly to the Korean spa after that and got scrubbed and soaked for a few hours. Getting ourselves together at E's house, we finally jaunted over to the hotel to finish getting ready.
E was an absolute knockout, and my knee high boots and hair extentions were rockin the house. I gave E a little tour of the hotel as she hadn't seen much of it yet, and we made our way to dinner.
Dinner. It was an experience to remember. With four men attending to our table alone, we were served a bevy of appetizers, entrees, desserts, and FIVE different and amazing wines. Needless to say......we were having a GOOOOOOOD time! We passed through the kitchen to give our thanks to the chefs who took care of us all night, and we stumbled our way back to the hotel room. The room was amazing, and I would live in that bathroom if I could. Gorgeous. We slept in, had a delicious breakfast, and I spent the rest of the day playing in the hotel. Fitness room, spa.....showers with 10 nozzles pointed at you..... I was pretty blissed out. I didn't even check out of the hotel until 9pm....procrastinating leaving as long as I could.
In the end, we laughed nonstop, we lived it up.....and THAT is what a Birthday is all about!!
