Love. Self. Entirely.

New Year, New Me, New Blog (coming soon), New Team...

Yes, I know I have been gone for a minute but I have a good reason this time. I have been sitting around debating on what I want to do with my life and how to go about it and you know what I've decided? I'm just going to aim for the stars this year. I'm going to push myself in everything that I do and keep it moving (peacefully) to the best of my abilities.

I'm going to do a overhaul on everything, myself included. I have been slowly sticking my foot in to the ocean that is my life but this time I have to fully commit - and I am.

I got into a car accident on Tuesday, my car is pretty much totalled but I'm okay. I am thankful for that at least. I'll have a new set of circumstances to deal with later I'm sure but right now I'm happy to be alive and in one piece.

The next thing is that I'm going to take my blog into a new direction, I have decided I really want to write a book and I need to gear my mind towards it. I need to quit hindering my progress and I know that I can accomplish alot when I put my  mind to it. Why do you say that? Well, that brings me to my new team - and new chapter - in my life...

I'm a Atlanta Rollergirl! I'm a proud member of the Sake Tuya's! I'm very excited not only did I get placed on a team but I was rather high up in the draft (which I'm shocked by because I'm not known for my sports prowess at all!). So, I just have to keep going and improving both in my personal life and on skates!

How is your 2009 going?

Rockin' & Rollin'

I'm hooked! Yesterday, I started my foray back into the skating world! I met a couple of people who are also trying out for the Atlanta Roller Girls and we skated around the rink while dodging little, black kiddies! I'm not sure who I feared for most, them or me but we all seemed to survive my time on the rink. I fell flat on my back only once--I'm sure it will be the first of many--but I just dusted myself off and hopped back on my skates.

One of the new recruits told me we have to learn how to jump on skates, I'm not sure how that will be but I'll give it a try. I can't wait to learn how to skate backwards, seriously, I used to be insanely nimble on skates but I haven't skated in years, so it feels like I'm starting all over again.

I haven't felt so much like a kid until yesterday. I remember how fun it was to coast around the rink, even though you aren't doing anything but circles; I remember it being such a freeing time. You could move fast, skate backwards, do crazy little tricks and all your friends would be yelling at you from the sidelines. I remember those days as being some of the best of my life before friends turned their backs on you, boys became the THING to like and my eating disorder was mostly in check.

So now, the fire has been lit. I'm ready to do THIS.

I hope everyone will be having a splendid fourth! I will be working for part of the day but outside of that, I plan to buy a dress or two and hang out with some friends for the Atlanta Pride festivities. I'm not very "American" when it comes to celebrating but I am feeling fairly patriotic this year, maybe because it feels like the re-birth of me this year and everything feels so strong!

Any exciting 4th plans? To all of those who do the hotdogs and barbecue thing, have one for me! Have a great holiday!
