Happy Holidays Everyone.
Hoping this message finds you all well.

This year has been a bit rocky for me, but fortunately thanks to surrounding myself with the people that care about me...I find myself successful and loved.

This past year i tried a new haircut, adopted a pigmy elephant, tried the abs diet (sorta), successfully did the lemonade fast (loss 10lbs), repainted chairs, built room entertainment center, passed my motorcycle class, met my newest nephew, test driving events, ohana vegas/xmas, PMX, speed dating, xmas hike, seeing the kwik-e-mart, cruise, bought a car, gun range, night swimming, return of 344 halloween, went emo, USC tailgate and many other things.

I've always been very fortunate in the people I surround myself with. Been planning more events with my coworkers and still sharing the warmth of ohana at our events. This past year has been especially strong with 344. My roommates have been great for me and our newest members by extension (Rozelle and Kristine) have made my year.

So how does the outlook seem now...very promising. I'm meeting new people and reconnecting with dear friends as well. Each day, i just hope to take enough time to realize how beautiful things are and how lucky I am and have been.

So my quote for this year...
Carpe Diem is so overrated...so for right now...stop talking and just do it.

Long overdue pictures

Was testing with Flickr but running into the space and free account limitations. Comparing some of the others possibilities, decided best to use picasa.google for future stuff. Until later, here are some of my memories for the past few months.

344 Family Cruise
Catalina and Ensenada. Wine Tasting, mini-jeep driving, scuba diving (need to scan those pics still)

Halloween (Office parody, House Party, and Halloween Day)
tagged office and halloween day. Everything else is the house party. Yeah bounce house!

USC Tailgate

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel unsure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. As we let our own Light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
