HOME: Our life choices



      My mission tonight was to watch "Avatar" since I missed it in theaters. I stayed home today to relax and reflect, and watching Avatar seemed like a good way to spend the rest of my night. Thinking that I had found it, I clicked on a youtube link. As I began to watch the film, I was amazed at the intro and how it really spoke to the earth's landscape and environmental issues. I thought it was an excellent way to highlight and segue into the movie's focus on earth's resources and imperialism. As I watched earth's lush landscapes and listened to the story of it's birth, I wondered when I would see the CG characters that made the movie so famous. 30 minutes into the film, I looked at the title and realized I had not been watching the movie I intended. At 9pm I was not mad that I spent time watching "Home", actually I was content on watching the rest of it because it was so captivating.

Morning Energy

Hello World!

It's been a while since I've communicated with you. The Earth has kept on moving, we've been breathing, and I've been living. As I strive daily to balance my health, this time around my purpose for good health is clearer than it's been in a while. I can give a heavy nod to a certain sneaker company for keeping their motto in my mind the past few months. "Just Do It" is a gem. It is a reminder, a motivator, and very straight to the point.

Part of my daily motivation has been 1) my "Morning Ritual" and 2) the Bedstuy YMCA.
