REASONS TO CREATE : How to define success YOUR way

IMG_20200926_202343.jpg

How do you MEASURE your success?

Did Google, Photoshop or Q-Tip set out to “be a household name” or “something that people will use as a verb/noun in every day speech?” Did they say, “We’re going to be so big that people will use us instead of “search the internet”, “make ourselves look better in photos” or “something with which to dig in one’s ears?” Doubtful.

Harry told me something pretty enlightening with his bald headed mystical Libra self, “Why not just measure your success in just creating something from start to finish.” And, you know, as a gal who tends to beat herself up a LOT for never being perfect and who simultaneously beats herself up about having to get the word out there in the RIGHT way but NOT being annoying, that advice really resonated with her (or, me, rather.)

LIFE LESSONS FROM DOWN DOGS AND RESCUE DOGS

Screen Shot 2020-09-10 at 11.12.44 AM.png

When the yoga teacher told me, “Stand up. I’ve got to fix your yoga mat. It’s annoying me like crazy”, I told myself it was finally time to throw the towel in (even if it was complimentary and smelled like lemongrass essential oil).

GAS STATION CORNBREAD

20180905_154258.jpg

For the past three or four years, I’ve been on a pretty intense health regime not only to keep my second boob fat at bay (some ladies have a muffin top, I have second boob fat. Look it up, it’s a medical phenomenon I’m sure) but mainly because I’ve realized dairy, gluten and sugar make me a mean, hormonal sassy bitch who wants to throw heavy objects. Therefore, what I eat in a day usually consists of kale, onions, peppers, black beans, egg whites, walnuts, salmon (wild caught of course) and tree bark. But, there are a few things that I will beast on guilt free. I don’t even call them cheat days. I hate that term. What am I cheating on? A test? My boyfriend? My fucked up crazy diet? Why should we feel guilty about what we eat? If your body is like mine, which it probably isn’t, it will make you pay for those crap-ass foods later anyways. So, enjoy them full throttle in the moment. The things I enjoy full throttle (yes, let’s make “full throttle” a thing) are delicacies from my motherland of the Dirty South including but not limited to cobbler, doberge cake and cornbread.

MY SHY DOG

My shy dog won’t come up to you and give you instant approval. That doesn’t mean she’s not like a regular dog. My shy dog isn’t like a regular dog. My shy dog wants me to let you know there’s nothing wrong with her just because she’s shy. My shy dog speaks in a raspy voice. Of course.
