Karmic Koffee

“Karma is experience, and experience creates memory, and memory creates imagination and desire, and desire creates karma again. If I buy a cup of coffee, that’s karma. I now have that memory that might give me the potential desire for having cappuccino, and I walk into Starbucks, and there’s karma all over again.”
☆Deepak Chopra

—The complexity of my mind equally matches the complexity of my coffee. Deepak is aware of the symbolic ingredients which can inspire a true master piece.—

Strength

“I don’t really want to become normal, average, standard. I want merely to gain in strength, in the courage to live out my life more fully, enjoy more, experience more. I want to develop even more original and more unconventional traits.”

•Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934

Not Exactly Hela☆ RIP Stan Lee

The week Stan Lee passed away, I decided to give my Poison Ivy cosplay hair color a permanent run and I colored it myself. So far I’m into going from blonde to red, but I’m not exactly Hela (yet) and I’m not exactly Poison. May the true Marvel superhero rest in peace.

Venom

Venom starts this weekend! I scored this tee a bit back and threw a customized look on that bad boy right quick with puff paint webbing. Even though I’m DC at heart, I can’t wait to see this flick, but first… our UFC 229 fight party.

Pearly Void

“Life is made up of a few moments all strung together like pearls. Each moment is a pearl, and it is up to us to pick the ones with the highest luster.”
•○°Joyce Hilfer

Here is my newest tee shirt design. I can’t really call this one a shred ha? I guess it’s considered more of a void if ya think about it. This was a new tee shirt I bought because American Gothic was perfect for the remake. I finished this design a few weeks ago, but I took the selfies today when I got to the gym.

Super Lit!

☆My new hat… A gift a couple weeks ago from Nick… owner of downtown Santa Fe’s… Evangelo’s Cocktail Lounge. My Greek gym bud tells me…”you’re a machine babe!” Hahahaa… Yassssss! When we took this pic I told him, “wait… now we need one with my real gym face.” He laughed as I took the pic. His daughter Kiki lent me an awesome book too. She strong n sexy.☆

“Bodies have their own light which they consume to live: they burn, they are not lit from the outside.”

-Egon Schiele

Sadly… That’s Just the Way It Is

“Men come and go, cities rise and fall, whole civilizations appear and disappear-the earth remains, slightly modified. The earth remains, and the heartbreaking beauty where there are no hearts to break…. I sometimes choose to think, no doubt perversely, that man is a dream, thought, an illusion, and only rock is real. Rock and sun.”

Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness

FLASH Forward… Growth

“Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.”

Sigmund Freud

inside my heart

“I may not always be with you, but when we’re far apart, remember you will be with me, right inside my heart.”

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

Reform of Mind and Body

□• The new cover I made for the iPad. It’s easy to be consumed by nothingness in shallow worlds. The mind becomes that which it consumes. This is one realization which will empower you in the gym more than any workout ever will. True empowerment lies in the gains reformed by the mind. •□

Strength and Belief

♡Affirmation Stone… A wonderful gift from Gail. I also have the word inked on my rear delt. I keep the heart shaped stone in my car near the one I got from Marlene. The stones remind me to stay strong and to always believe.♡

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”

Negative 30 and That Fire

I’m proud to say that my blood, sweat and tears paid off in 2017!! I killed 30 lbs while retaining/gaining muscle with minimal strength loss. I am so ready to take the new year by the horns!

The Dragon

“Confidence is like a dragon where, for every head cut off, two more heads grow back.”

-x-Criss Jami,Venus in Arms

♡ Christina’s symbolic thank you for helping her make tombstones for her Halloween party this year. With the quote… this is a perfect pair. Can’t wait to wear this earring!♡

Yin Yang

“May your love
for me be like
the scent of the
evening sea…
drifting in
through a quiet
window so I do
not have to run
or chase or fall
…to feel you
all I have to do
is breathe.”

~~Sanober Khan
