Hey there/ why are you standing there just lookin like u lost your only friend/ oh i know that it can not be as bad as your face is telling me/ so go on and smile my friend/

Hey there/ that’s better already/ i love when you look happy/ just remember that everything happens for a reason and it’s only for a season/ so go on and smile my friend

there are times for joy/ and even times for sorrow/ but don’t let that cloud cover up your whole sky/ cause there’s the prettiest shades of blue hiding behind all you thought you knew/ you get to paint the world you want to/ but first just smile

THIS WOMAN!!! this gift!!

3 months ago

Exhale… shoop shoop

I mean what can I even say.

This woman, this voice, this amazing gift from God. She directly effected me and my path.

The Bodyguard Soundtrack was the first cassette tape I had that was my own. And I loved it. I owned it with so much pride. I listened to it all the time, day in day out. Literally broke the tape because of how many times I’d listen to it all the way through and rewind then start over again.

I’d stand in the middle of the living room on my stage (the coffee table) belting in my best imitation of the incredible Whitney Houston!

She was beautiful, and just effortlessly delivered incredible music.

My favorite singers of all time without question are, Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston. And it was always my dream to hopefully stand on a stage and sing one of my favorite songs by them to each of them. I would dream as a child what that would be like to look into the audience at someone that you hold in such i esteem, and sing to them and thank them for inspiring you to do great things.

I am so deeply saddened by the passing of Ms. Whitney Houston. Because to me she was definitely one of the greatest voices, if not the greatest voice I have ever heard. Her music has touched me in a way that is inexplicable.

These words don’t even seem right.. cause they just can’t measure up to what I really mean. these words can never explain the feeling I get when I hear this woman sing. So i thank you Whitney for sharing your gift with me. I thank you Whitney for using the talent God bestowed upon you to light up the world. I love you… may your soul rest peacefully.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

wow has it really already been 6 months?? where does time fly off to?

This is a post that I wrote 6 months ago… just a day before my arrival to Los Angeles, CA my new home. This past 6 months have probably been the most difficult in my life. SO if you have been a part of my life in the last 6 months i love and appreciate you. Just thought I’d repost this…

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West…

So for the past 2 days i’ve been traveling across the country headed toward Los Angeles. I am scared and excited all at the same time.

Because this is a lengthy trip… and my co passenger is my brother (whom i’m not going to talk to every hour of the trip) i have had a lot of time to think.

So at this point I have come to the conclusion that in many ways this is it. This is now or never.. this is sink or swim. This is fly or fall. This is hit or miss. This is whatever other saying you can think of that basically means… make it happen or don’t…

Over the last year I have learned a lot about myself. Learned what it is that I value in life… and what is even still my dream.

I have realized that fame is not going to be my cup of tea.

But if I could get up and sing in front of a beautiful audience every once in a while a few tunes that move my spirit that’d be perfect.

If i could curl up in a ball in my favorite sweat pants to write a song that gives me goose bumps…that’d be heavenly.

If I could be in love with somebody who simply and complexly loves every imperfection about me that’d be so perfect that it’d be insane.

If i could learn to look at myself in the mirror everyday and smile because I think i’m great even when i’m not perfect (which is anytime)

I have grown a little weary from how I do things currently… how I over think and analyze every action and interaction… every smile or lack thereof… every nod or omission of acknowledgment. If I could stop worrying so much about the what if’s then maybe just maybe I could be completely content with the right now.

So like Fievel in one of my childhood favorites… I am going west in search of better. But this better will be taking what I know I don’t want don’t like and ending it there.

tomorrow some of the people I knew before i’m choosing not to know anymore.. because i have evaluated and reevaluated your importance and relevance to the me I am striving to be…

So tomorrow i will arrive in Los Angeles, California… tomorrow I will arrive…

In case you didn’t know I got a fantastic and also very random job here in Costa Rica and have officially made the move to Cahuita for work!
I am a sales coordinator, for a company based in the states and will get to travel there every month or so, with two trips already planned for Vegas and Chicago in March!
I didn’t want a 7-4 job and tried to avoid it, but reality set in and I realized in order to stay in Paradise a job was required. After being here two days I am very happy with my decision. Cahuita is a small town, way smaller than Puerto Viejo and is located only about 20 min away from there. It’s a great change of pace, considering I moved to Puerto Viejo to slow down and relax, yet got caught in the beautiful vortex it holds on people (more on that later).
My office is located directly on the beach and since they asked me to come in a week early, I get to stay here in the guest house until next week. I feel like a queen in this place, I have hot water WITH pressure, a nice and new comfortable bed WITH A COMFORTER and new pillows that hasn’t been slept on by 4000 backpackers and my OWN bathroom and kitchen…. All of this may not seem so exciting, but you will be amazed at the things you appreciate once you live in the jungle and hostels.
Another great part about being here is the hours for work are so that we can go surfing in the afternoons and I plan on getting out there and conquering my fears and catching some waves. My coworkers are mostly beginners too and very supportive of each other and me. I’m looking forward to this new chapter of my adventure, I plan on working at 7 am, surfing, reading more, learning Spanish and fire Poi dancing, all of which are new and challenging to me.

The pic above is from my desk!! ;) Pura Vida.

That’s amazing Mahta I really really am trying to figure out when I can come visit

I have several people in my news feed that apparently don’t support Obama at all… My question to you all is why not? And don’t you see how much he has done even with the mess he inherited from the Bush administration? Annnnnd puh-lease if you try anf deny he came into presidency after once of the worst administrations in history I will assume you were under a rock for some years

- Person #1— I realize some of the things Bush did weren’t always handled properly. BUT Obama has done more damage to America as far as $ and debt goes. Not to mention, he basically spits on the constitution and everything America was built upon. 1 thing that SHOULD have been handled already is bringing our troops home. He has said he was going to pull them out for the longest time. I support our troops 100% my husband is a marine. BUT we have no business being on their land. The only reason we are still I’m Afghanistan is because we like being in control and not minding our own business. There will always be terrorist and Taliban. We will NEVER be able to get rid of all of them. But that’s also what the Afghan National Army is for. If we think that having our troops over there for so long isn’t going to have consequences we are dead wrong. We are at war, just to be at war. Ron Paul is the only person out of all the candidates who has the military behind him. But he also knows that we have no business being on Afghanistan soil. Having our troops over there is putting America further in debt. We seriously may never recover from this. I’m not one that likes to talk politics but now that I married into the military my life is basically owned by the government so it definitely affects me. America is going down the drain and I’m not blaming Obama for everything but I also don’t think he has done anything to help matters either!

  “…. for the first time in 9 years no Americans fighting in Iraq. For the first time in 2 decades Osama Bin Laden not a threat to this country. Most of Al- Qaeda’s top lieutenant’s have been defeated……”
  “10,000 of our troops have come home from Afghanistan and 23,000 by the end of the summer.”
  
  those quotes deal with some of the concerns you addressed, here are a few more:
  
  “in the 6 months before i took office we lost nearly 4 million jobs, and we lost another 4 million before our policies were in full effect. Those are the facts. But so are these, in the last 22 months businesses have created more than 3 million jobs. Last year they created the most jobs since 2005”
  “Today General Motors is back on top as the world’s number one auto maker”
  “Right now american oil production is the highest that it’s been in 8 years, last year we relied less on foreign oil than any in the past 16 years”
  “If you make more than 1 million dollars a year you should not pay less than 30% in taxes”
  
  All of these quotes I simply got from listening to our President’s State of the Union Address 2012. I would beg to differ with you… i’d say he’s done quite a bit with the mess he was handed.
  He is clearly working on bringing all the troops back, you can’t just cut and dry walk out of these countries. And oh how quickly we forget… he was not the one who waged war on these places…that you say we have no business being on their land… you’re right… but that’s neither here nor there now… point is we are there so now it’s about getting out and I believe he’s working on that.
  he has clearly begun to create new jobs, cracking down outsourcing jobs really bringing jobs back to American people.. i.e the automotive industry!!! And in doing this along with the many other things he mentioned in his speech that will surely help with the deficit. He is trying to crack down on these millionaires that are getting crazy tax breaks that will also help with the deficit. But do you know what else will help with EVERY SINGLE ISSUE… if people will stop fighting tooth and nail with every thing he proposes.. not because they actually have a differing opinion.. but because they simply would rather see this country fail than agree with President Obama. And that is the truth.

  and this is the link to watch the 2012 State of the Union Address…. seriously guys…I think so many people are trying their hardest to be anti Obama that they can’t even just listen or look at what he’s trying to do. Everything he tries to get accomplished is met with so much adversity. Let’s be real there were several weeks this past year that the major “pressing issue” was if President Barack Obama is an American citizen… can we see his birth certificate!!! when you have ridiculous, outrageous, completely disrespectful stuff like that happening it distracts from the real issues at hand therefore it of course takes away from real things getting taken care of.
  Im just challenging you all to look at the full picture. And to be completely honest i think that someone like President Obama really best represents a wider variety of people in this country, being that he is biracial and grew up in a working middle class family. He is probably the most like me and all the people I know than any of these other candidates.

- Person #1—- The state of the union address was a joke, it was merely old speeches copied and pasted together. Give some proof. By the way there are troops coming and going all the time, but we are still there. Don’t believe the media. Tou need to compare the state of the USA to history, it’s not in good shape at all. I am neither republican nor democrat, they are all crooked but Ron Paul is the only one truly for the people.

- Ashaya Robinson Media: a means of mass communication, via mediums such as radio, television, magazines, newspaper etc. You’re right… media outlets can be used for propaganda.. but that is why we are supposed to compare several different sources before arriving to conclusions..
  Also unless you have some direct source you also gather your opinion from the media mixed with your experience. We are all guilty of often letting our own preconceived notions make us jump to certain outlooks and opinions. I’m just as guilty of it. But I will say it isn’t fair the way President Obama is blatantly disrespected.
  Here is some history(fact):
  We entered war on Iraq march 20th 2003 under the order of president bush. A ” war on terrorism looking for weapons of mass destruction”… Umm did we ever find those? December 18th 2011 war on Iraq ended under president obama’s orders.
  War on Afghanistan began October 7th 2001 in response to 9/11 goal was to dismantle al-Qaeda. Entered all of this under president bush. During this time the international view of the united states by ALOT of other countries was very very bad!! Yes we are still in Afghanistan today and believe me I don’t agree that we are there..and we need to get out but Obama wasn’t the start of all of this. And soooo much of this debt we have incurred can be associated with these expensive wars that president obama’s predecessor began. If you travel outside of the US now… Our international relations have gotten so much better by comparison.
  So you’re right don’t believe everything the media says… Especially outlets like Fox News

- Person #3— there can be no success as long as he remains in office. Bush was not perfect but at least he didn’t lie to us about public safety to the people. just so he could remain in office. I am not interested in what bush did and the mess he did because its to late to bring that up. Its a new year and he is still intent on messing everything up. my point rests. Gingrich or Romney for president. as for Ron Paul i’m iffy on.

- Ashaya Robinson It is NOT too late to bring that up!! What he did during his term directly effects what President Obama has to deal with. It completely baffles me how people will try to honestly ignore what is true. And pleeeease Gingrich really!? I’m so tired of hearing “pull yourselves up by your bootstraps” that proves he doesn’t understand what it is to be systematically disadvantaged in this country. Some of these kids don’t have the metaphorical “boots” to even pull up on the straps. Lord help us if he were to be elected.

Every other word that came out of his mouth was a lie. he talks about our own energy source and the second we find one he vetoes. he talks about boots on the ground down in mexico but he cut the boots last month. give me a break obama
