thanks anita for being so understanding:) i was after school helping senior citizens at the laurelton home celebrate a dog’s birthday, the dog was a grey and white pug and he was so cute and friendly:) he is their mascot and i’m glad the senior citizens have a puppy to cheer them up, the elderly are fun to be around;) so the self-defense club is every monday from april 4 to april 25 and other grades are welcome as well:) i can’t wait to till francine b/c we both had the idea;) most of our class had career day today, so some people weren’t there 2nd block ap english including andrew. dave and i helped each other develop our synthesis essay on whether advertisements were negative or positive. having two ap classes which require lots of essay writing and can be quite draining at times, but dave is great and supportive. he has a great sense of humor and always listens. dave is very encouraging and studious and is a great person to work with. dave like literature, but he prefers physics and math because they have practical real life applications and it can be fun seeing how the velocity of a car affects the momentum (physics honors). we both like physics honors a lot these days and we often talk about physics or chris mccandless because we both think he is adventurous. my school-based counselor/teacher who also does community service with me is great, he designs his office with cool stress reducing exercise and her office light is moderate light and it’s quite calming there. i think i would like to work in that environment, the walls are painted green (very naturalistic) and there are pretty crystal lights and smiley face, one with a crying or laughing face and other with a funny tongue sticking out face. also there is a panic button that when you press it, it says in a tense voice ‘stay calm, stay calm” and then screams, it’s pretty funny. also my yoga teacher is great, she also does fiber arts (making crafts are easier than drawing for me) and is lots of fun and relieves stress. she has coloring templates for her students to color to relieve their stress and it helps, i find myself being entertained by the colors i use. here is a great way to heal and relieve stress, imagine the stress you feel as a color such as red for anger, blue for sorrow, yellow for fear, etc. and take a paper and color the paper the color of your stress (press as hard as you want), imagine as the color flows onto the paper, your stress is leaving your body. then crumple the paper and throw it in the trash (we had lots of fun pretending we were basketball players) saying “my stress is no longer part of me. i am healed.” the templates often are like a vision board for our goals in life, we print out pictures of our dreams and while we fill them with beautiful colors, we imagine our energy going toward our goals, making them a reality. i was coloring a picture of cheshire cat today, as i was coloring i wanted to be happy like cheshire cat, also the trees that cheshire cat was sitting on, i pretended was a truffula tree and i colored it and imagined myself being one with nature. i used many colors and imagined myself expressing my souls’s purpose through the variety of colors. today, cj was really happy b/c he came in 3rd on the writing contest for the school and he says he might help get the school paper more famous so people can write their thoughts. dave is great, today while i was a bit stressed because of the change over time essay using documents in ap world history and having to write another (2nd week, i’ve had to to two essays on top of each other, last week with allergies as well). my head was hurting and i was a bit tired, but dave made me laugh by making a funny comment about the politicians running for president. also there was a flash of green light and i saw angel raphiel wrap his wings around me and saying “don’t be stressed, life is divine.” dave, who also believes in angels thought it was really cool and we both shared a laugh. dave is the most laid-back guy, i’ve met, even though he can get tense at times, he always manages to shake it off and still enjoy life with a smile on his face. his face is always red from laughing and his eyes are always bright with confidence. during december before christmas break, dave dressed in red and pretended he was santa claus and made the class laugh. the universe is amazing:D check out the lunar eclipse coming tomorrow:

The universe always has so many great surprises:D

here are two more poems (i think the first one sounds better) and i’m still adding to the 2nd one:

Awake and Alive- Life’s a Dance

I hear a calling outside in the world

I feel in my soul

Forgetting all I’m lacking

I roll the die in my life

Taking the chances and outcomes I face

Don’t be afraid to take a risk and adventure out of what’s conventional in life

I walk a path of light and love

Nothing holds me back from dancing with the stars

Life’s a dance

You have to move at the music life throws at you

Sometimes you may dance with the moon on your face and the stars behind you

Other times you may dance alone in the rain

When the music of life gets rough, keep your rhythm and keep dancing

I dance with the music of nature

I surrender myself to the divine

I am awake and alive

The world will keep changing its tunes and sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the music

Sometimes you may feel lost and don’t know the song in life

You may find yourself falling, slipping on the dance floor

Everywhere you go coarse music plays bringing you down

How can you back to your original spark in life?

Remember, you control your life

When life gets tough, keep dancing even in the rain

There is a rainbow hidden behind the storm clouds

So live your life

Let yourself be free

Make yourself truly awake and alive

And keep on dancing

Keep taking chances

Go for your dreams

You have the opportunity of being awake and alive

Life is effortless

Enjoy the music and dance to your own beat

The world can’t tell you who you truly are

You have to drop the limitations put on you

You have to go out there and be free

Your adventure is calling

Dance to the music of life

Life is beautiful

when your heart gets heavy and the music doesn’t seem right

Change your attitude as you would change a record player

You are a spiritual being capable of great things

Dance to the beauty of life

Know that you can be awake and alive

know that every path you take, every music you dance to leads to home.

Discover Yourself- Live your dreams

It’s never too late to broaden your horizons

Take the reins in your life

It’s time to discover yourself

It’s time for you to light up the world

Don’t just get by in life or you won’t get far

The stars are out there waiting to be reached

It’s time to discover yourself

Follow your soul’s calling

Do what truly makes you happy

Trust the process of life
