Goals

Been crushing goals like woah, lately.  What's interesting is that the cool thing about goals is that it's about putting them out there and being audacious.

I accomplished two in a matter of weeks that have been in the works for a while.  I got the opp to visit my company's HQ and spent quality time getting clear on my goals here.  The other was to be a fitness model and I got to do that for a good friend of mine over the weekend.

The latter was put into motion almost four years ago and the former, a big audacious bet that I came up with at the beginning of the year.  And they happened.  I told people that it was such a joy to know that God really hears me and knows my deepest desires.  I reassured myself that what Paulo Coehlo wrote in this book, The Alchemist, that:  “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

With these hairy goals checked off the list, I'm feeling so inspired and pumped up about filling them with cool shit when the mood strikes.  So far, my BF and I are beginning a heritage exploration at the beginning of 2016 and will take a trip at the end of the year to visit our respective motherlands.  That gets me so excited because we will learn so much about our history AND a sweet trip will be in order to celebrate our lives and our efforts. 

What will the other be?  Only time will tell.

What do you know of your heritage?

What big goals have you crushed in 2016?

I have a pic of the set below.  It was such a good time.

Warrior Weekend

So I decided Thursday night that I'd use three of my SoulCycle classes this weekend because I've been traveling so much and having to skip my weekly Sunday morning ride with @homosweatual.

It was a delight to learn that this weekend is  "Warrior Weekend"!  It means that between Friday and Monday, I take three classes and I get a hat.  Haha!  Why am I so thrilled about this hat? 

I obviously booked my Sunday, I want my boyfriend to experience all that is @mcclainstrong on Monday, and I had a toss up for this morning between @blocey7's 5:45A and 8:30A.  It would be my first" rooster class ", so I decided to make my first ride happen with a new crew.  Obviously class was awesome.  (These three are truly my favorite instructors at SoulCyle Old Town in Chicago.).

I'm not a clique hype, but SoulCycle obviously has a tribe-like feel to it.. And it's real.  It's just an all around quality experience from when you first walk through the door and when you get your parking validation.  I'm really proud of the two women who started this fire.  Excited to see it grow.

Happy WARRIOR WEEKEND world!
