Bittersweet Birthday Card Greeting

Leave a comment / sassy curls / ,

“Leave a mark that can’t erase neither space nor time, so when the director yells cut, I’ll be fine. I’m forever young.” – Jay Z

Today is my 34th birthday and it feels bittersweet.

During this time of self-isolation I have felt motivated and I have have felt unmotivated.

I guess I am human.

Here are 34 thoughts and quotes that have crossed my mind during this unprecedented time.

  1. Be more protective of my time and energy.
  2. Health is the new wealth.
  3. Take ownership of everything.
  4. Mental toughness is essential.
  5. Remember why I started.
  6. Find a way to create wealth doing what I truly love.
  7. Let go of what isn’t meant for me. What’s meant for me will find me. (Still working on learning this lesson.)
  8. Find a way, that’s what winners do. – Surf’s Up
  9. When you’re tired of being tired, you’ll finally make a change.
  10. You never lacked motivation. Just needed time to realign.
  11. Know you have all that you need.
  12. It’s been nice making food at home.
  13. Morning coffee is magic.
  14. It’s okay to be in your thoughts.
  15. It’s okay to not have all the answers.
  16. Take as many steps as you need. Just keep moving forward.
  17. Find inspiration even when you lack motivation.
  18. There is beauty in the small things.
  19. “You never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory.” Dr. Seuss
  20. Still up for debate if my felines Ash and Ace enjoy having me home.
  21. Be like a cat, when you want something, make noise! Ace has already mastered this.
  22. I gotta get back to journaling.
  23. Music can be healing.
  24. Diffusers are life changing.
  25. Need nothing. Attract everything.
  26. Walking has given me clarity.
  27. Just because I’m home, doesn’t mean I’m available.
  28. Just because I’m single, doesn’t mean I’m lonely.
  29. Slightly out of focused, doesn’t mean I’m lost.
  30. Your body always tells you what it needs.
  31. “Your soul remembers the plan you made for this lifetime and is always guiding and supporting you.” Maryam Hasnaa
  32. Build a life you don’t need to escape from.
  33. Have you noticed how you’ve been remembering your dreams again? – a.k.
  34. The world has slowed down so you can rediscover yourself.

I have been checking the boxes for too long. Now, it’s time to color outside the lines.

This is 34.

5k Training – Week 1

Leave a comment / sassy curls

Hi Honey Bees,

If you follow me on instagram or snapchat (@sassy_curls), you already know that I have decided to train for a 5k.

The last time I ran a 5k was in 2012. https://sassycurls.com/2012/08/ I know, time to change that. This time around, I am training alone.

I am sharing my journey on my social media platforms. I knew that announcing my desire to train again, I would not quit or choose to postpone the training. We have heard it all before, always set your goals with a deadline.

I have six weeks until the race. I signed up for the timed group. This event I hope will build up my competitive spirit again and act as a confidence builder, so I can train for a 10k in October.

Week one of training consisted of:

Tuesday: run 10 mins – treadmill | weights & stretch
Wednesday: 30 mins stair master, weights, abs, stretch
Thursday: run 13 mins – treadmill
Friday: 30 mins stair master, weights, abs, stretch
Saturday: 1 mile – outside
Sunday: cardio, sauna

These ham hocks that I call thighs, have not felt this sore in awhile. Getting out of bed was a chore today. I literally feel every muscle in my body.

I would rather feel the soreness and the pain now, than be the last one through the finish line.

Until next time,

This has been a year filled with finding myself. I let some things go and let some new things in. Be selfish with your time. Be cautious of who you surround yourself with. Be your own best friend.

Take a leap

Leave a comment / sassy curls, sassy curls blog

“There are many talented people who haven’t fulfilled their dreams because they over thought it, or they were too cautious, and were unwilling to make the leap of faith.” 
-James Cameron


Surprisingly, I did not have a hard time writing 2/29/12. People seemed to be a fairly decent mood today. Just hopping along towards the anticipation of a new month.

I came across these really cute leap year bookmarks. How fitting they have frogs on them.

(print your bookmarks here)

I am still in the process of reading The Help book, so I plan to print these froggies on card stock to hopefully inspire me to finish the novel faster. It is a good read, I just need to make more time to accomplish this task.

In parting, I hope today provided you with more insight to your dreams, a brighter tomorrow, and peace for the week to come.

Until next time,

Snoopy’s Street Fair

8 Comments / sassy curls, sassy curls blog
I have joined the iPhone mania circle. This quite fancy phone has many features and applications. I have outgrown angry birds and look for apps that are a better waste of my time. (wink)

My current favorite is Snoopy’s Street Fair.

In the beginning there is a lemonade stand operated by Charlie’s sister Sally, his loyal dog Snoopy prancing around, and a few friends willing to spend money on this simple product. Upon earning more money, the player is able to fund their future expansions. This includes but not limited to: kissing booths, cotton candy, popcorn stands, and a jukebox.

Jamming to the Peanuts theme song…
What your Street Fair can look like.
What my Street Fair currently looks like.
Upgrading to the next level! (Yeah, we did it!)

Playing games are fun and a great way to keep the mind active. Some are more challenging than others. Although, I still resort back to my paper word searches, if I am going to have a phone that is equivalent to a new wardrobe, it should at the very least entertain me.

If you would like to see my street fair…my Referral Code is: T3JMW.

Until next time,
