I’ve been a pretty adventurous person but I have really slowed down in my social life. I used to go out at least 4 nights a week, not that I’m trying to get back to that but it was fun. It brought excitement to my week, I looked forward to the evening and I felt like I had a life and I wasn’t just work and school. Within the next 2 months I will be incorporating a little more confetti back in my week. I will be sure to report back how it all goes. So far on my agenda: Eating better, AGAIN and working out. I canceled a subscription to that I can add my gym back into my budget. I will be drink water every day until May 31, except for on my friends birthday because we are going wine tasting and I spent to much money not to partake. I have a goal weight and Iv really made progress but its time to kick it into over drive.

Enjoy music, dance and poetry. I have an old college friend who will be preforming some of his songs at a local club on a Monday night, 7:30pm to be exact. I figure, after I get through traffic, get home, shower, change clothes I can make it there by 8pm. He’s a great musician and singer so I’m excited. I believe in supporting my friends. I used to go to poetry night every Thursday in down town Oakland and I often wanted to share some of my own pieces but I never did. Totally adding that back onto my list of to-do’s, find a new poetry spot. I met a lot of great people at poetry night and then it would turn into reggae night afterward and that’s when the real fun would start. I’m smiling as I’m typing just thinking about it. Good times. Enjoying the outdoors. Later in the month my churches young adult group “Open Door” will be going on a hike. I didn’t want to go at first, like I just wasn’t in the hiking mood not to mention I go outside all the time so I wasn’t all that excited. I gave it some thought so I’m in. It’s a great time to bond, connect and be fully immersed in the wonderful works of God. I gotta find my good back pack though.

Traveling near and abroad. Lastly I’m going on a solo trip! It might get crashed by my sister, which Isn’t that bad given we have never went on a trip together. Over the years we have really gotten close so I wouldn’t mind. However I am expecting to travel alone. Destination hasn’t been set yet but all I know is that I’m going. When talking about traveling alone some of my friends always ask the common question of who I’m going with and if it’s a guy. I mean, I would love to have a male companion along or even one of my home girls but frankly I don’t want to be bothered with that  right now. I just want to go out and explore, see, breath, learn and just BE. Be present and in the moment.
