Hell Yes to Love

Earlier today I was thinking that I have nothing to blog about. I was a bit sad because I wanted to blog but there was no inspiration. Nothing for me to bitch about, nothing for me to go all crazy about.   Luckily today was the day that New York Senate would be voting to pass the legalisation to legalize same-sex marriages. Without any warning I read that New York had approved the bill with a 33 to 29 vote while I was on Twitter. My big heart full of unicorns and rainbows combusted over the news. Of course, at the this time it was not a finalized deal but I was already doing a victory dance full of fist pumps. New York state is now the sixth state where gay and lesbian couples can get married. That also makes New York the largest state where this is possible. Not bad for a state I was born in and went to school in. This may come a shock to you but same-sex marriage is a hot topic in the United States today. There are Americans who believe strongly that marriage is between a man and a w

In the land of butterflies and deer

 Wetlands    Creepy forest from this light does not look that bad    Earlier this week I went to check out the Negri-Nepote Native Grassland Preserve and I decided when I was ready I would hike it. So early this afternoon I began my little adventure in the land of butterflies and deer. Everywhere I turned there were dozens of butterflies dancing around. I could hear birds chirping and things hissing in the grass which I prayed turned out not to be snakes. I got to a creepy forest entrance and because I am curious kitten decided to explore it. It get a little awkward since I was the only one there, so I did not venture too far in. Once I left the "forest" I came across a meadow area with breathtaking purple flowers. While in the midst of picture taking a deer came running across the plain. It was galloping too fast, so I was unable to take a picture. The hike was peaceful and easy, great start for beginners like myself.   Nothing but blue skies   

What a beautiful day for adventure

The Entrance I must have experienced some sort of cabin fever today because I was bursting to get out of the house. I decided to go for a little drive. Where I live is kind of amazing because in a few minutes you are either in commercial heaven or surrounded by farms and creeks. I was lucky enough to come across a trail during one of my explorations. Today I decided to check it out and was pleasantly surprised. I did not go on the actual trail because I was not  appropriately dressed for a hike. I did managed to take some photos of the area. Isn't it beautiful? Today there was a rare bird sighting, got a lot of people excited.  I thought this a beautiful shot  The beginning of the trail 

Where do you find strength?

control lies in the balance point between rage and serenity. Professor X We are all born with great power. Some choose to fan the flames while others choose to hose them down. If you do choose to hose your power please reconsider. The world will be a far more better place with people who feed their beast within. If you can find the balance between your rage and your serenity you can accomplish all you seek in life. That is just some food for thought. I was recently told that I am not as strong as I think I am. That I am nothing but an ice cube that melts in the sun. At the moment rage consumed my body and all I could hear were the words echoing in my ears. I felt a tiny rose thorn puncture my heart as my joy bleed from my body. It took me awhile to figure out why I was so affected by that one comment. It has been days and that comment is haunting me. Maybe it is because my strength is what keeps me going. If I was not a strong person, I would not be able to deal with all that life th

When this hurt is gone, I got to get myself together

I am not going to lie, life after graduation has been difficult. There have been detours, u-turns, speed bumps pretty much everything you can imagine along the road of success. The more successful my peers got the more nervous I got about my situation. I keep on asking the universe what in the world is wrong with me? Why do you keep on testing me? It got to a point where I was a few setbacks away from drinking myself into stupor. Then I got to thinking, why I am looking at other people's roads? It is just taking my focus from the path I am destined to take. Are things going slower for me than I would like them to? Hell yes! But that is all part of my adventure, my journey. There are many people who have similar or worse situations to mine and I see them just giving up. Their outlook on their situation is just full of negative vibes. If you want good things to happen to you, you have to envision them and create a system of attack on how they will come into being. It is the law of a
