"Beautiful Mess"



Beautiful mess
My mind is a torrent of bliss and pain,
My heart has been strung with hardship's red vein,
But I am alive be I pleasured or pained,
Every breath is a gift, feeling life is not vain,
Life is but a moment, a whisper in time,
Embrace each feeling, each exchanging rhyme,
For to feel pain, ecstasy, anger or sadness,
You are alive in life's beautiful mess.

If you could take your fitness to the next level what would you do? This past week, in addition to my regular workout routine, I have been making it my new goal to include 10,000 steps daily. This is something I have had to get creative about, as I am now in town Monday through Thursday until 7:30 at night. Last week, I brought my 5lb hand weights for walking and two of my 15 lb kettlebells for a regular workout. My plan was to start with a strength training routine at Bayfront soccer field after dropping off my son. I usually have an hour or 45 minutes before I take my daughter to dance. This is enough time to do upper or lower body, intermixing abs during the 20 second breaks. At first, I was feeling awkward, feeling a bit exposed at the field where people can see you working out. Once I got over the fact that alot of people work out down there, not to mention nobody cares, I started to really enjoy it. I decided if I had to stay in town, I might as well make the most efficient use o...

Living Aloha

What does it mean to live aloha? Kokua aku kokua mai, to give and recieve help is a reciprocal relationship. This is living aloha, to give others time, energy, to help nurture something or someone. It is giving of yourself without expectation of  return. The cycle of aloha continues, similar to a plant or water cycle. It is from within ourselves when we kokua others, that we in turn create lasting sustainability, a bond between ourselves and that person. When we kokua nature, in turn, nature takes care of us, providing us with all the sustenance we need and then some. We take care of our bodies and in turn our bodies generate better health, improved energy, longevity of life, a glowing exterior. We take care of this world, without worrying about if and when the cycle returns. We do this because it is the right thing to do and as seen in the different cycles, taking care of something equals energy coming back in various forms. Maybe it is the beautiful sunrise over Mauna Kea, the vi...

Walking in Hawaii

Image
You are in need of relaxation and a sweat session. So you decide to put on your husband's 20lb weight vest and venture into nature. The nature that you are so grateful to live in, on the Big Island of Hawaii, on a lone road down near the cliffs. The only sounds are the birds mirroring each other's voices in the trees, the faint feel of raindrops on the face, the sweat dripping and mixing with the rain. You realize you have not felt this relaxed in awhile, and your body melts into a rhythm with the ground. You become in tune with the crunching sound of gravel, yet your body seems to float and sway in time with the beat of your shoes. You start to become immersed in the aura of nature, how this natural essence make you feel. No longer are you thinking of your schedule, because it is insane let me tell you! No, you are in a transfixed state of meditation; the air smells fresh and pure, the only sounds you hear is the distant rumble of the ocean, as it crashes against the rocks. Th...
