don't go back to sleep!!

he's so stoked.

i woke up this morning ten minutes before my alarm went off.
got on facebook, because, well, unfortunately it's become a routine for me. but see here! today it provided inspriration.
i'm part the Yogis Anonymous group and everyday "Ally" has reflective words to say.
today, it was all about DOING it. Living life like you are alive. think about that for a few seconds.

this weekend it was hot. i didn't have all too much to do and ended up watching tv for the majority of it. just, laying on the floor. feeling like a butt. i might as well have been a rock.

i don't have any excuses for being lazy. god. why am i wasting my life away! the sun is shining! my life is still young! i have health and have been blessed with so many reasons to be happy.

"Hey!!! There's so much light and so much truth, don't go back to sleep!!!" Because being awake and aware feels amazing. It's not all happy feelings and dancing through life with a loopy grin on your face. Some of it is brutally painful. But being accountable for yourself is freaking awesome. Being responsible for the energy you're contributing wherever you go is a totally natural high. Spreading love because you feel so much of it inside is the greatest feeling I know, and anyone can do it. Get high on whatever is true for you, get stoned on spreading light wherever you go and making this world brighter because you've been here. Don't go back to sleep!!! Happy Monday. - Ally

and in the words of my good friend Leigh, "Gotta do it up!"

today is the day!

switching my morning beverage to tea.

waking up in the morning to enjoy time. to sit, to contemplate. 

being active! 

exercise and stretch to begin each day with a positive mantra.

making music because i love it. 

today me and the rockster went on a jog. both of us were huffing and puffing by the end but boy did it feel good. showers after any sort of exercise make you feel infinitely more cleansed than just rolling out of bed and hopping in. 

both of my private teachers told me this past week that i should start running on a regular basis to help expand my lung capacity. 

here i go. 

it's time. the time is now. 

make it so.
