Somewhere over the Rainbow....

I love the song "Somewhere over the Rainbow" there are so many renditions of that song and each of them make my heart sing. The simplicity of the lyrics can just move you and those singing it can make you feel different things. Currently, I am listening to the Kris Allen version.

My week thus far has been wonderful! Every Monday I get to see my ISP group which we now call ourselves Team SAS (South Asia Storytelling). I am so inspired by each of my group members. Each of them brings a new aspect or view on things which is so intriguing just to see how some people see something so differently then I had seen it the first time.

I have this new habit I have picked up... ok maybe its not a new habit but more people are picking up on it. It goes like this I will be telling a story, asking a question, or giving an idea and mid-sentence or thought I stop talking. The worst part is I think I said the next part but I never did. So people have to fill in the blanks or ask me. Which I respond with "what" along side a blank deer in the headlights stare. I guess its comical but its somewhat embarrassing because it has now crossed into text messages!

Well thats all I have so far... but I will leave with this

Romans 8:38-39
"And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Getting Burned in February!!!!

Thats right! I got a little color today. I personally don't see it as being burned but my mother begs to differ. I sometimes think I am some kind of islander that never burns but maybe I did a little today.

This past weekend was picture perfect! I went shopping for the first time at Nordstrum's Rack in San Diego... can I just say I LOVED it! Discounts galore sign me up!!! I bought some pretty sweet clothes and when I went to check out I definitely couldn't remember my pin number for my debit card... I told the cashier guess thats a good thing because that means I'm not spending money he fired back yeah but you also aren't depositing money into your account... OUCH!!! I got burned!

On Saturday I got to spend my day giving speeches which I throughly enjoy.... ya right! But when I got home I got a lovely surprise of some beautiful tulips from my valentine. I love flowers! Valentine's Day was perfect! I was surprised with a trip to Newport Beach for some crab action at Joe's Crab Shack. Besides getting crabs we had some fun drinks, chocolate cake and some good laughs with CT an Monica.

The rest of this week has been pretty typical... I did get to lay out a little today and get some rays which always makes me feel good. I still haven't started on any of my projects that are due within the next weeks but I feel like I will get to them soon enough.

Well better get back to procrastinating... Till next time may you grow in life, love and faith.

Let your love be like the misty rains, coming softly, but flooding the river.

I got back from ITW!!!! What a great weekend... exhausting... yes, powerful... absolutely. I am even more excited about my trip then before. I can't wait to see what God has in store for me! Its funny looking back just a year ago I know that I would be no where near where I am today with my thoughts and beliefs. My faith has grown by leaps and bounds but I know that I have a long journey ahead... but I guess that is what life is for.

So far this week I have been on remission I would say. Just taking things day by day. Trying to recover. But at the same time thinking of all I have to do. This semester is almost hitting MID-TERM season:( but at the same time its invigorating knowing that graduation is so soon!!!! Due dates are coming fast so I really have to get my butt in gear and get things done!

This weekend is also that infamous Hallmark holiday. I'm not really sure what the game plan is for the day but I am sure whatever it is will be funtastic! In sport of this loving season or day... I would like to say that I am the luckiest girl in the whole world! I know all girls think they are but I totally am! I love quoting movies and I think this quote fits most perfectly with how I feel...

You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you, Peter Pan. That's where I'll be waiting."-Tinkerbell~ Peter Pan

Well, I hope everyone's weekend was great and that every one has a lovely weekend with the one they care most about. Love can be found on a street corner, on a bus, or in a classroom but wherever you find it you must hold on to it because living a life with out it is like living a life with a missing piece of a puzzle.

Let the love grow...

Adventures at my finger tips...

This week has been a record of high of being crazy busy and its only just the beginning! This weekend is ITW( Intensive Training Week) for the ISP trip I am going on. Im a little worried but am super excited about all that I will learn. I have been told its one of those experiences that you have to go through to appreciate. I can't wait!

Right now I am sitting here watching Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. I totally recommend this movie to anyone! Its hilarious but touches the heart. On another movie side note I saw the movie When In Rome... its adorable I was cracking up the entire film.

Ok enough about movie recommendations... I had an interview the other day with a winery so hopefully it will work out and I will be a new addition. This particular winery is in the revamping stages so they will be expanding in the next couple months. I am crossing my fingers. In the meantime, I picked up a weekly life-guarding job at a local high school. I really miss working as lame as that sounds. I like knowing I have money coming in so I can spend some. "Work hard to play hard", right?

The next time I will be blogging will be after this weekend so until then may your garden prosper and your fields be filled.
