Mrs. Grant,

I still remember my very first class with you. I had just jumped from Grade 3 to Inter. Foundation and there were so many things I didn’t know, and there you were, teaching my exam class. Without Lana to tell me what was coming next, I felt lost. But you guided me through. You were strict, but it was out of your passion for dance and performance.

Well, a summer went by, and I was starting to study my Intermediate syllabus. You sat Asia and I down and told us you had cancer. “But I’m going to try my best,” you said. To myself, I said that too. How could I let you down? There were days you would have chemo and then come teach us soon after. I couldn’t believe your strength and determination to be there for us. So, I had to be there for you. It was the least I could do.

I remember a day when you told us that the tea you were drinking “tasted like water and aluminum”. My heart sunk; I wished I could fix it all. But, you kept fighting and fighting… There were good days, and even great days. Sadly, bad days too. Despite the bad days, I think dancing was the best medicine. Something lit up in your eyes when you were teaching us, not only about technique but performance too.

A year goes by, and you’ve still been battling. Classes were hard for me, there was so much going on between me and the girls. After a while, I shut it all out and just focused on the dancing. Pure dancing. Pure technique, performance, and putting the two together. I found determination in myself, because you believed in me, and I believed in you.

It was the end of the year, and I was leaving LDA. I wanted to write you a letter saying goodbye, because I hadn’t seen you around in a while. “I hope one day I can see you make a full recovery”, I wrote.

Well, I did end up seeing you before I left. I asked you if you liked the year end show, and you said you loved it. That was the last time we spoke. Mrs. Grant, I can’t explain how much I miss you. But you’ve taught me so much about being strong… How dance is beautiful on the outside, and healing on the inside.

Thank you for inspiring me over and over again. I know you’re in a peaceful place now.

Love, Kaela <3

Ok, ok. I have absolutely sucked at maintaining this blog. I realize that.

But I’m jumping in to say I’M STILL GOING STRONG!

Today is day 83. Unbelievable! It is my Kenpo day. I’ve also been hitting the gym pretty hard in preparation for the half marathon coming up in January. (aack!) I am feeling great about myself and am LOVING that my clothes are all so very lose. In fact, I’m going to have to get new clothes because I just don’t look right in my old ones.

Not that I’m complaining… =)

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, mine was certainly great!!!

Have a wonderful day!!

Even the impossible becomes possible with determination and there is sure success.

Expression:
The one who is determined is the one who never gives up in adverse situations. He is able to use all the challenges as a means for self-progress. He is never deterred with situations which seem difficult to handle, but is able to creatively bring out new ideas that help him to cross over the obstacles with ease.

Experience:
Determination brings confidence in me and in my ability to achieve what I set out to achieve. I am able to remain confident and sure of my own success. This confidence gives me the encouragement not to let go half way through, but to do something till the end. With each obstacle that comes my way that seems to deter me from my path, I find myself improving and progressing, making myself better and better. So I am able to experience success constant

everyday
a hurdle of sadness

we muscle ourselves over it
deepbreathing
fierce-eyed
flexed
determination hijacking our bones
tenacity holding our hopelessness for ransom

though it is the same ache
the specifics differ

it may appear first thing
while sharp bright lines
slice through the dark meat of night

it may live in the warm light of a pizza joint
at 8th and dekum
golden glow that recalls snow
solstice
and the gloveless man at the bus stop who made you cry
not because he did anything violent or angering
but because his hands and head
must have been
so cold
and it hurt you
to think about
how long he had been waiting
not to mention
the heartbreak of bus stops
in general

it may surface in a song
one you thought you could play again or
never realized was on your don’t play list
in the first place
until it enters your gut
with the weight of lead
lyrics about
being nineteen
or
pups in the pantry
or
love in this club

it may embed itself in back porch concrete
radiant with combustion of summer sun
or in a bike lane on the way home
the one where you said
hey wanna go on a date in november?
you might discover
no geography or season is safe

Excerpt:

“You’re not stupid Neria…” Kimily said, taking Neria’s hand. “You’re the girl I fell in love with, nothing you have or haven’t done doesn’t change that. You make mistakes, every one does, you just happened to make one mistake that turned into many,” Kimily said encouragingly. “Don’t give up, Neria, succeed even with all of these mistakes you’ve made… I know you can. You’ve realized your mistake Neria, and that’s the first step. You don’t have to forget me Neria, you just need to realize it’s over between us. It…” Kimily’s eyes filled with tears as well, and she took a deep breath before continuing her sentence. “It’s not because of what either of us has done… it’s because of what someone else did. We can’t change another person, just deal with what changes they may make. I know you can get through this Neria, you just need to believe in yourself.”

Merely another 2k words! Tomorrow I will see the end! Wish me luck!

What is will? It’s the cute, dark-haired guy I briefly dated in high school.  People thought we were brother and sister because we looked so much a like. He had shared with me that on Freshman Friday they hang the freshman jocks up by their straps on the hooks attached to the walls behind the classroom doors.  OUCH! Yup it’s the strap you’re thinking of. And yes, Will said some upper classmen had hung him up on the wall and said it was very painful!

Now on a serious note, what the will to live is to me? It was passing out from blood sugar levels of 40 and I recall seeing 1.5 next to the A1C level on my medical records. Neither are good. I was passing out and having seizures for years and didn’t know it. I would feel sleepy, as my blood sugar crashed and would lay down,  thinking I was falling asleep, but was actually passing out.  I would wake in the middle of the night usually with my nightshirt soaked through; drool down the side of my face from my mouth. I’d get a chill from my wet night-shirt when it got cold and it would wake me. When I would go to eat something, it would sting my tongue along the edges. Later I found out, it was from biting my tongue during the seizures. Once, I realized what was happening and questioned the kids if, they’d ever tried to wake me. I knew something was very wrong when one of the comments was “Oh Mommy, you never wake up when we try to wake you”. They had tried to wake me for 45 minutes that particular morning. OMG, I thought! I used to be a light sleeper. I had seizures since my oldest was an infant, so they thought it was normal.

I have always had a passion for real estate and had sold a home to a client in Massachusetts, when one morning I was lying in bed and the phone was ringing.  I could hear the phone ringing, but I could not move my body or open my eyes.  I kept thinking to myself, I have to wake up, I have to wake up, I have to wake up.  Finally I woke very groggy, sat up slowly after a while, swung my feet over the side of the bed. I stood up slowly to try to avoid the usual head-rushes and dizziness I’d get. I dreaded going downstairs to get something to eat because climbing the stairs was exhausting and the bathroom was on the second floor, ugh!

I walked to the top of the stairs in my bathrobe, reached for the railing, held on to it and descended not looking down to try and keep the head spinning feeling at bay.  Trembling and shaky, I reached the kitchen putting the tea kettle on to boil. Then I walked into the living room to sit and rest while I waited to hear the whistle.

There was a loud, quick knock on the door and I called out for the person to come in. Yes, I grew up not locking doors and only started locking them after I had a huge life altering experience. Anyways, the door flew open and there was a client I had sold a home to.  Her face strained with worry.  I didn’t tell her about my illness. We basically talked about her needs for a home, her family, etc.  She said, “I called you and the phone rang and rang and I knew you were home, so I came right over thinking something was wrong because you didn’t answer it.  I said, yes I could hear the phone ring, but I couldn’t wake up to answer it.

I didn’t tell her I willed myself to wake up, like I had done many of times, not realizing what was wrong with me. I knew something was wrong back in November 1999 because I was having tremors, but the doctor I went to couldn’t find anything.  Five years and five doctors misdiagnosis later here I was finally getting a glimpse as what was yet to come.

In the years preceding this memorable occasion, I woke many of times in the morning asking myself, when am I going to find out what’s wrong with me and when am I going to get better. I could no longer do multiple directions and wondered if I had brain damage. I thought, “Well, I exist”. I have to wait until I know what’s wrong with me and then I’ll get better. Late October of 2006, I hemorrhaged badly and slept for about seven days. It was all I could do to get to the rest room and get a little food in me, only to lay down again. I was absolutely devastated, but knew I had to wait. Yes, I waited for years. I finally found out this year 2009 what was the culprit of everything that was wrong with me.   It was nine years from the time I first went to a doctor.

Two words, “Food Allergies”! They can cause a lot of health problems.

So, if you’re ill or life is not good, just think about my nine years and there is a journey of unpredictable devastation that I had to endure that goes with it. I still have things that are quiet difficult to deal with. These are things that eventually I will write about in some way.  

Seems like some of us are better than the cat with nine lives because I have  had about twenty. Wouldn’t it be nice, if others also had that opportunity?

I’d like to know your comments.

Excerpt:

Beneath cut because it is sad and spoilery.

‘I was being pulled through the scene by some outside force. I saw myself talking to Kimily, asking if she wanted me to come with her. She polite refused and left. I followed Kimily through the streets. She had walked so carefully through the area. She looked both ways and at all of the signal lights before crossing. She finally came upon the fated crossing. I looked down the street with her… it was true, that car wasn’t visible. The turn down that road made it impossible to see that he was coming. Kimily took steps into the crossing, and my mind’s eye followed her, but kept looking down the street. Lights soon were visible down the street. Just as quickly as the lights had appeared… a car came speeding down the street. I saw the light was clearly red… but he… he didn’t even slow down. A car coming the other way screeched to a halt to not hit the drunk driver’s car… As the car sped forward, he hit Kimily… She… she went into the air and fell into the street a decent distance ahead. The car… the car didn’t even stop… He… he drove right on over her…

‘The driver who had nearly been hit rushed out of his car and over to Kimily’s side. He pulled a cell phone from his pocket and called an ambulance. A few more cars came by, pulling to a stop to stop themselves from hitting Kimily and the man. Each one of them got out of their cars to help. A woman got her husband to lift Kimily up off the ground. He even offered to carry her to the hospital. They were even lucky to have an off duty EMT member stop as well, who did all she could without having extra supplies. I… I cried, seeing all the help Kimily had gotten, but none of it mattered. All of these people… they all tried to do something, and yet nothing they did could do a thing to stop what was coming next. The ambulance came, took her to the hospital and hooked her up to so many machines. They did all they can before the me from them came in. I saw myself run away in tears from Kimily. Her face… it really was horrible. I… I realize now… there was nothing I could do. All of those people who had been there helped, they did something… and yet none of it mattered. If I… if I had been there, the only thing that could have changed was possibly the body laying in that bed. There… there was nothing I could have done. These people… these people I had ignored when this had happened, had done so much, and she still died… Why… why did I never realize…?’

Excerpt:

‘It had been a while since that strange man had come to give me any sort of advice. Maybe it was fate that Kimily found him again, that I would be able to talk to him again. I needed answers, and he sure seemed to have had them over a month ago, he just wouldn’t tell me. Maybe now I can finally get them out of him… Because, now, I… I think I understand what he meant. I held onto Kimily for too long and ended up here. I thought everything was fine… and yet it wasn’t. Things happened in reality and I tried to change my life, but I ended up screwing things up, taking too long, and in turn caused this whole mess to occur. I… I should have listened to what he said in the first place. I almost couldn’t believe he had turned out to be completely right, that everything he had said was true. I hoped he could help me, help me finally move on. I knew I had to do it now, I… I just needed this one thing before I could finally see past Kimily once and for all.’

I CAN SEE THE END! Well, more so to my 4th NaNoWriMo quest. Not too sure on my novel. Sort of can see the end of my novel.

As a hilarious note, I realized I’ve been spelling Malehciah/Mahleciah’s name wrong the whole novel (It’s supposed to be the first spelling, but I’ve typed it in as the second the entire novel)… That takes some serious skill to do that. xDDD Running NaNoism? xD

Zeal: Afflatus of Success

by: Wilbert C. Laforteza

“Zeal is the blood of success, sans it; it will drain a person into a quicksand of misery.” – Wilbert C. Laforteza

What moves a person into determination is the zeal itself. It drives a person into action…so anyone who believes in zeal triumphs even on the most painstaking and brain-scattering tribulations or treacherous adversities.

The toughest façade of every goal or ambition lies on a solid desire and action towards one’s realization. Really, zeal is of no doubt because it is a manifested equator of progress towards success due to its convincing and mandating power to trailblaze the path of a settled task, plan, goal, and ambition. Zeal is considerably the firebrand of life…it is important and lucid that it must be fueled with refined optimism – an action with positive point of views.

Some disregard zeal an asset for they are too reluctant to compete and struggle. Scads consider zeal is trivial and dispensable because they are fickle because they believe on what-come-may luck and it is a bane for them; their reason is that zeal is a sort of boo. Now, all of them who believe that zeal is a messy pot turns booby and will be futile in the end. Why and how comes? It is because they lack the knowledge that zeal is the dream’s pre-requisite towards realization. Many err on believing that zeal is dispensable but in reality, it is indispensable.

How can person gain zeal? The answer goes this way: it starts in the personal encouragement of one’s family members, the encouragement of friends, classmate, and colleagues, who can tickle the interest of the individual. The interest tickled will eventually empower the person to aspire. From that interest, it will develop the individual’s doctrine, values, and self-concept that will serve as the collective purpose that a person may be committed. Finally, the result for that formulated commitment will be a vibrant zeal…a subliming action to act for a cause!

Anyone who dreams for success must be inspired with zeal; for zeal is forever the stem of success from the life’s dawn to grim reaper.

College football bowl games and professional football playoff games will provide a backdrop for holiday entertainment during the coming week. At one time or another, most all of us, will find ourselves captivated by the spirit of a determined underdog’s bid for victory.

Determination is a quality that we all admire. It at once captivates the spirit of a ferocious nose tackle battling on the gridiron, a child struggling with its first step, and an elderly person continuing to meet their daily challenges. It is the key to success and dignity throughout life. Your business is no exception.

Different directions are periodically given for the path to business success. Managers are encouraged to search for excellence, adopt foreign management approaches, seek corporate renewal, foster entrepreneurship, and to place the customer first. All of which may be sound advice from time to time. Over the long run however, one characteristic common to all success is determination.

Success is never as easy as it looks. If you play often enough you will one day be the underdog. If you’re in business long enough, you’ll one day encounter overwhelming obstacles that will make you the underdog. Determination, fortitude, perseverance, guts and grit, all characteristics of the successful underdog battling for gridiron glory, will also be your keys to success.

Being determined doesn’t mean mindlessly sticking to the same thing forever. That’s being hard headed. Being determined means giving your best, unrelenting effort to your chosen endeavor. It means thinking through your commitments, and when you make them, mean them. It means not quitting when the going gets tough, because it surely will. It means meeting adversity with resolve.

There is a big difference between stupidity and determination. Determination is playing your heart out in the second half, even if you’re losing 35 to 0. If your opponents won the first half 35 to 0, you can win the second half by the same margin.

Nobody else gives you a chance, but you’re not willing to quit. That’s determination. And watch, before the week is over, it will have paid off for at least one underdog!

Stupidity is trying to replay the game after its over. A good businessman knows the difference.

Great ideas, new technology, good timing, and ample finances are all thought to be key elements of the successful entrepreneurial formula. No ingredient, however, is more important than determination. Major accomplishments rarely come easily or quickly.

How many times have you heard the expression, “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.” I would suggest that if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing as well as you can, whether that’s perfect or not.

Too often people are deterred from doing things simply because they can’t do them to perfection. There will always be a lot of reasons not to do something, but as long as you have one good reason to try, go ahead. If you want to do it and it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing as best you can. Success is frequently achieved far short of perfection.

Be determined. If there is a goal that you want to accomplish, don’t be deterred from pursuing it because it is difficult or because you question your ability to achieve it. The winners of the world accomplished their objectives because they were determined, not because they were heavy favorites.

It is too easy for some to look upon the success of others and attribute it to factors they had no control over. The winners were luckier, smarter, stronger, or richer. All those things may be true, but most assuredly the winners always worked harder. Determination in pursuit of their objective and perseverance in the face of adversity are a common characteristics of successful business owners.

There are times when good fortune appears to shine more favorable on some than others. Nevertheless, the long races are not always won by the swiftest, the smartest, the wealthiest, or those who got a head start. Those that are blessed with good fortune will soon find their success fleeting if they don’t develop the fortitude and work habits shared by those less gifted. Good luck and natural gifts rarely last a lifetime.

And just like some of the underdogs on the gridiron, whose struggle will at first appear to have been in vain when the final score is posted, the process will be more valued than the prize. Maintaining your self respect while earning the respect of others as you pursue your goals, is perhaps the greatest victory of all. In the long run, determination in the face of adversity is the real measure of a winner.

La grève de la faim de Jacques Diouf aura laissé les chefs des pays riches indifférents.
En effet, le directeur général de l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO), Jacques Diouf, avait posé ce geste symbolique de 24 heures pour attirer l’attention des chefs d’état.
Or, aucun des chefs d’État du G8 ne s’est présenté au Sommet et la plupart des chefs des pays riches brillaient par leur absence.

Toutes les six secondes, un enfant meurt de faim ou d’une maladie apparentée, selon la FAO.
Nous disposons des moyens techniques et des ressources pour éliminer la faim dans le monde. C’est donc désormais une question de volonté politique, [une volonté qui] est influencée par l’opinion publique, affirme Jacques Diouf.

Tant que les chefs d’état se feront représenter dans ce genre de sommet par leurs ministres de l’agriculture, les débats resteront strictement techniques alors qu’il s’agit d’un problème de destinée humaine.

Aujourd’hui, la journaliste de Radio Canada, Pauline Vanasse a joint Olivier de Schutter, le rapporteur spécial de l’ONU pour le droit à l’alimentation, pour dresser un bilan de cette rencontre consacrée à la gestion des crises alimentaires.

 Voici en gros ce qu’il en ressort :

• Aucun engagement nouveau ni avancement sur les engagements précédents. Un sentiment d’échec domine la plupart des observateurs.
   
• La production de bio carburant au détriment de l’alimentation demeure un sujet tabou.
   
• On ne parle pas assez du rôle des multinationales de l’alimentation dans les crises alimentaires.
   
• Toutes les conditions sont réunies pour l’apparition d’une nouvelle crise alimentaire qui touchera plus directement les pays pauvres.
   
• La terre appartient de plus en plus à des intérêts privés. Son exploitation en monoculture vise surtout l’exportation vers les pays riches (café, coton, cacao, etc.). Alors que les pays pauvres ont négligé les productions destinées à nourrir leur population (sorgo, millet, manioc, etc.)

Une question demeure. Et cette question fondamentale s’impose au philosophe lorsqu’il se penche sur plusieurs problèmes de notre époque, que ce soit l’eau, l’alimentation, l’éducation, la justice sociale, etc.
-Youri Pinard

Lorsqu’il est question de bâtir un monde meilleur, pouvons-nous encore, au 21ème siècle, espérer quoi que ce soit des lois du marché et de ceux qui s’accommodent bien du statu quo? En d’autres mots, pouvons-nous vraiment bâtir un monde nouveau avec des matériaux idéologiques périmés?

is(ichi) -> http://wp.me/sAlaB-one

shin -> http://wp.me/pAlaB-Gh

As these characters tell us, isshin means single-mindedness or wholeheartedness.

We usually this word as the adverb isshinni, adding ni after this. It means wholeheartedly. When you do something isshinni, you do it without thinking about other things because you are so occupied with it. To think intensely is “isshinni kangaeru.” Kangaeru is the verb “think.” The attitude of “isshinni” is positive, but “isshinde” implies that you have a desperate hope for something or desire to do something. Actions and behaviors in this case can be either positive or negative. Only the result can judge it. People might not approve one’s behavior in such a desperate situation if they regard it as whimsy.

Today’s Spam

Sometimes, it can drive a person to acts of nobility. Sometimes, it can drive a person to acts of sheer stupidity.  Imagine someone determined to beat a run time.  Imagine that person being so determined, so stubbornly against quitting, that they ignored signs that their body couldn’t handle it.  Depending on the circumstances, that person could wind up in a hospital.  Of course, that’s somewhat of an extreme example.  If said person is trying to beat a run time, chances are they’re already conditioned to run.

I digress.

Determination being stupid usually deals in long-term plans.  Say, something that takes place over a year.  You commit to a goal, and you pursue it, refusing to stray no matter what happens.  If you can do that, awesome.  I don’t pull it off to often personally.  Recently, I did commit to something, though, and it came back and bit me in the a**.  I realized that after I’d finished, I’d been so committed to the goal, that I forgot why I was doing it.  Now I regret it.  My only hope, really, is to figure out what the original plan was, and hope that redeems me somehow.

Anyways.

I’ll see if I can think of something creative to post later on in the week.  Maybe I’ll be really cliche and post a turkey, or a pilgrim, or something.

Today’s Thought:

This space intentionally left blank.

“Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baca [Weeping], they make it a place of springs. . . They go from strength to strength, til each appears before God in Zion.” (Psalm 84:5,7)

Each year as Thanksgiving approaches, I remember the stories of the Pilgrims and their first Thanksgiving. The above passage is one of my favorites, and I recently noticed the word “pilgrimage” for the first time. A pilgrimage is a long journey.

But what does it mean to set our hearts on it? We must realize it is indeed a journey. This walk of a pain-filled life is not brief and does not have easy resolutions. It will, however, have an ending, just as any earthly journey does.

We must keep our eyes set on our heavenly destination, maintaining an attitude of faith, perseverance, and determination, regardless of what we encounter along the way. If our hearts are truly set on this journey with God, nothing will make us give up. We will stay on this road and keep going, trusting in the One who planned our trip.

As we persevere, God turns our tears into pools of refreshment, not only for ourselves but for others as well. He enables us to go from strength to strength – not trial to trial or suffering to suffering – but strength to strength. With any new obstacle we encounter – any pain, disability, or crisis – the Lord provides new strength to get us through and to continue on our journey.

The Pilgrims who survived the difficult travel and hard winter found a new and better life. So it will be with us when our earthly journeys end. Some days I enjoy my pilgrimage and other days I do not. But regardless of how I’m feeling or what I encounter, He will be there with me until I see His face.

Prayer: Lord, may I set my heart on this journey with You, ready to accept whatever pain and trials You allow. I know that You are here, and will continue to give the refreshment, comfort, and strength that I need to keep on traveling. Amen.

Excerpt:

“What I’m trying to get at, Neria, is that you’re finding ways to make it your fault. You’re making up reasons and excuses so that you can blame yourself for it all even though you only made one decision in the whole scenario. You did not come back with me. The drunk driver made quiet a few more than you, the choice to drink, the choice to get in a car, and the choice to run that red light. You made one choice Neria, and there were a lot more involved in the event. You need to see that Neria.”

“Well I can’t, why don’t you get it? I can’t see it that way. If I had gone, I could have solved the whole problem. We wouldn’t be sitting here, had I just gone. You know it just as well as I do Kimily.”

Kimily sighed. “If you’re not going to open up your mind just a little to other views, you’re not going to get over this.”

“Who said I ever wanted to.”

No, I’m not talking about my NaNo. ;D Just a quote from my character.

Been pulling a lot of last-minute word count goal hits (like <10 minutes to midnight), and haven’t had the time to post something. ^^;;;> But hey, at least I’m on target! =D
