Reforged

“For within your flesh, deep within the center of your being, is the undaunted, waiting, longing, all-knowing… is the ready, able, perfect. Within you… waiting its turn to emerge, piece by piece, with the dawn of every former test of trial and blackness, is the next unfolding, the great unfurling of wings, the reforged backbone of a true Child of Light.”

Jennifer DeLucy

Reforge Mind… Reforge Backbone… Reforge Gunz

This Bad Bitch Reigns

The illest chick
sits rightly so upon
her self-made throne.

Daring those who think
they can to take the
seeds she’s sown.

There are none who
can compete with this
driven, tainted soul.

I guarantee… this
bad bitch reigns with
each and every goal.

So let them come and
watch them leave in
the presence of a Queen.

Scepter of iron and wicked
things these peasants couldn’t
be me in their dreams.

She Werkin’

♡My friend Sharon working during the legislative session. She was giving a tour. We go way back to school days. Check out her black etched tin. She’s an amazing artist who also owns her own yoga studio.♡

Sum Ass Smacking

That moment when a woman is brave enough to sneak up and smack my ass from the back in the gym and at first I’m shocked and sort of mad, but later feel like maybe it was a compliment of sorts and my ass be lookin’ better from da squats if a former professional body builder really couldn’t resist not one ass smack, but two! (Yes… that was a run on sentence) I’m around her everyday and I’ve never seen her smack an ass before. She crazy, but really tho… she rocked a serious ass of steel in her prime.

The Best Fragrance♥

“Our inner beauty is
that Kingdom of Heaven
that lies within. It is
a fragrance and the
signature of our soul.”

I love to catch up with my cousin Jessica. I saw her this evening and she is such a beautiful little spirit. I found out that she is going to Alaska next week on a special mission and so I wanted to wish her luck! This lady is always making a difference in the lives of women and children. I’m so proud of the woman she has become.

We were next door neighbors as children and loved spending all our time together, outside under the apple trees. Now… we are all grown up and only catch up from time to time. I was remembering a picture she sent me a while back and thought I’d share a then and now look at us.

You can also read about the day Jess invited me to The Gathering for Mother Earth in 2013, which was so amazing. Read: **The Spirit of Place.

Strength Matters

“Though nothing can bring back
the hour of splendor in the grass,
of glory in the flower; We will
grieve not, rather find strength in
what remains behind; In the primal
sympathy which having been must
ever be…”
—–William Wordsworth

Relentless

“You must be passionate, you
must dedicate yourself, and you
must be relentless in the pursuit
of your goals. If you do, you will
be successful.”

‘Til Death: Our Pact

“You gotta
fight for every
breath and tell
death to go
to hell.” 
—-Ernesto “Che” Guevara

•~ Only iron can break us. Elaine and Felicia… GBFFs or better yet, GBFTTD (gym best friends to the death). Oh yeah… in our new kicks too! ~•

Sometimes you just have to decide that nothing… nothing… I mean absolutely nothing will stop you. With tears in our eyelined eyes, a little over a month ago, together, we made a real pact in the gym. We promised each other that no matter what happens to us, we will breathe iron. No arms, one leg, sickness, injuries, wheelchairs, crawling… we will be in there ’til death!

Last Saturday, my friend Elaine brought me a gift to the gym in a small black bag. She had a cute little smile on her face when she approached me. She bought us matching friendship bracelets with tiny skulls in honor of our pact and told me thank you for being so supportive. We aren’t going down without a fight! That’s a promise.

Buzzed

It is so good to know genuine people who have such good hearts. If you throw thoughtfulness, beauty and fitness into that equation, that makes someone even more special. Thank you to Christina for thinking of me on Mother’s Day weekend. She is gorgeous, fit and super creative. Even though she wasn’t at the gym today, she knew I’d be there, so she sent me a gift with her husband.

Her husband is a personal trainer who delivered me a handcrafted, amazing gift today from one mother to another. It was a clear box housing a homemade sugar cookie beehive. I got buzzed!! Hahaaaa. I told her husband… “tell her these are unbelieveable and awesome. Thank you and that I’ll owe her a few pounds for this!!” He laughed. Good hearts are hard to come by.

Say Goodbye

It’s been at least a month since I’ve been going to the gym twice at least 3-4 days a week. Since I’ve started running again, I’m trying to focus on keeping strength+ retaining muscle, but trimming down a bit for the summer. I love being stronger than some boys and I have no plans to change my weightlifting style. As a matter of fact, if this plan starts affecting my bench press progress, I will stop! I don’t care about girlish figures anymore. I want to straight smash things.

•An inside look•

I’ve been hitting the iron for lunch and doing cardio after work+ focusing on my bench and squats on Saturdays and Sundays. I would live in the gym if I could. I feel unbelievably driven right now~ mentally and physically. This week I’ve been running with about 6 fast sprints peppered into the mile to develop my speed again. When I left work I was blaring “Say Goodbye” by Theory of a Deadman through the Bose in my Caddy, straight through to a cardio and ab session that was in serious hyperdrive, then all the way home!

This is *MY* time!! You… yeah you… as a matter of fact… all of you… can “say goodbye” to the old me. I’m on a mission! That is a promise.

Strength

Strength fractures for few
and falls away to no place.
When strength dies for you,
appreciate that moment
of weakness. My moment
keeps you pliable and human.
That fissure keeps you loved
and human even though you,
not I, deserve to break.
