They blow to and from
carried by her breeze.
Hearts gush wish after
wish relinquishing each
to a forbidden sky.

Relinquishing Each Wish

Fitness is Curative
May 16, 2013
This afternoon I had a horrible headache. I really started feeling it right before I left work for the day. When I got home, all I wanted to do was lay down and pass out. I tend to over think things and it can really be mentally exhausting. My eyes seriously felt like they were going to pop right out of my head!
I figured I would turn in super early and try to sleep off the pounding headache. Sometimes it’s torture for me to insist on dealing with aches naturally. I put on my headphones and started with some slow music by Tank. While I laid there I realized that a good sweat may be better for the ache. With a flick of the switch~ Fire Hive by Krewella got me up and out the door.
I was so right. A good workout took my headache away. I actually cranked out an awesome outdoor workout using: the wall (stiff legged deadlifts); a scaffold (pushups and pullups); pieces of flagstone (hammer curls and kickbacks); rebar (straight bar curls); a swing set (external hip raises and squats); and a lawn chair (scissors and crunches).
Next time you feel bad, try a workout. Sometimes we need to move in order to feel better. Now I will listen to Tank again and peacefully slip off into dream land. Fitness is indeed curative.

Merciless Harpy
April 28, 2013
The Harpy Eagle is a powerful raptor found in the rainforests of Mexico, Central and South America.
Rain doesn’t stop
when the majestic
bird feeds.A victim, helpless,
but Harpy takes
what he needs.In merciless
pursuit this Jungle
Eagle does fly.Heavyweight
hunter, quick to
take to his sky.Talons so sharp
and set to pierce
insides out.The badge, a
mortal wound
without one
single shout.A ferocious
bird seeks his
needful prey.In a rainforest
deep, Harpy Eagle,
hide away.The life of a
martyr offers the
sweetest pain.When the Harpy
draws close, some
can smell the rain.King of all Eagles
that have ever been
felt and seen.Tonight I shall
crawl into your
lair and dream
to be Queen.Felicia Lujan

Sunday Stairway

Stairway to Heaven @ the Santa Fe High Football Field
_________________________
The vision must be
followed by the venture.
It is not enough to stare
up the steps~ we must
step up the stairs.
•••~Vance Havner
_________________________
Now that’s a workout!! Seriously…running up these stairs in the Sunday heat must be one of the hardest beatings my lungs can take (not to mention my body). Legs shakin’ ~n~ what not! I was able to run up the stairway today with a bit of floor exercises in between. There are 50 steps up and 50 steps down. I was able to complete 800 steps, but I should be able to do more than that?? Maybe next time? I just keep visualizing those summer outfits. It’s also good to boost my mental clarity. Cheers! I’m done for the day and headed to Whole Foods.
Thief of Breath
March 29, 2013
Only a bandit would
heist my essence and
bottle it up tight.I’ve lost the keystone
in a field of weeds and
didn’t even fight.Invade my rib cage
unwilling thief~ turn
breath to thickened mist.Trespass and take
all that you will in
an imaginary tryst.It’s criminal to partake
in thievery for I can’t live
without my breath.The underpinnings of
tainted dreams are
sure to be my death.by Felicia Lujan

It's All on You
March 27, 2013
Great training video of an extremely ripped gentleman getting it done and putting in the work in the gym. I love the audio the most in this video. It is about making sacrifices, being disciplined, making smart choices, not cheating and knowing when to say no. We all have it in us to be in the greatest shape of our lives but it is totally up to you.
Awesome post from Frontdive Fitness!!!

Anticipation of Lyrical Candy
March 25, 2013
I have been waiting since 2012 for the release of Native, the third studio album of OneRepublic. Ryan Tedder is such an awesome songwriter. He is also the lead singer and a producer with skills. The new album was officially released last week in Germany. It is finally scheduled for release here in the US tomorrow! I can’t wait to hear the acoustic versions of a few songs. I have heard Feel Again and snippets of Counting Stars, What You Wanted, If I Lose Myself, and Burning Bridges. Love-love-love them all! Tedder and the other writers seem to pluck some of the lyrics right out of my mind!! What the?? I can’t wait to hear the full album. If you support these boys– trust me– you will not be disappointed.

My Frozen Heart
March 10, 2013
~• The Girl in May of 2012 •~
Today I lost one of my closest friends. She was a very old girl but still had fur which was soft as a kitten. Her eyes were big and blue. They could melt my heart on the coldest days. The Girl was part of my life for almost 18 years. She was much older than my only child. Late last night I realized she would be gone by the morning. I decided to hold her close and tell her how much I appreciated my years with her. She was the best cat I have ever had.
I laid her to rest amongst the singing birds as snowflakes turned my tears to ice. I will really miss my friend. Irving Townsend once said “another cat? Perhaps. For love there is also a season; its seeds must be resown. But a family cat is not replaceable like a worn out coat or a set of tires. Each new kitten becomes its own cat, and none is repeated. I am four cats old, measuring out my life in friends that have succeeded but not replaced one another.”

With heavy
hands invade
my intellect
and take each
inch right from
the top.
…••………..••…
Investigate
every phantom
move. Stroke
my spirit until
I decide it’s
time to stop.
…••………..••…
Give my skin
her wanted
touch by
your blissful
fingertips.
…••………..••…
Relinquish the
cravings made
for flight and
probe my shell
with honeyed lips.
