Locks,Cages and Train Tracks

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you really have to ask: What the heck was going on?!  I wish I could say it was everyone else that had gone a little bonkers, but it was me as well, I can't lie to you.  It started out with me being locked in a cage, in the basement of my place of work. Yes, locked in a CAGE! I won't go deep into how it happened( because it makes me look really dumb and you don't need that thought in your head) but I will say this: I built a mountain of crates to get over the cage wall and as I went to swing one leg over... My Vagina spoke to me! In a faint, but clear voice, I heard: "Do you not see how narrow that ledge is my dear? Are you really going to straddle that? Let's take a moment Dawn dear to think about this and the pain that will be there after your balancing act." How did I get out? I screamed until another Trainer heard me. I will never live this one down. Twice this past week I have been blocked by cars on train tracks. Not because the drivers in front of me didn't have enough room to move up, they just wouldn't move! I gesticulated and beeped, yet, on both occasions, no one moved. "I am going to be squashed like a bug! I shouted, but I wasn't. I have been told things, private things, that maybe in any other week, they wouldn't have ever told me. But, like I said, this has been an odd week, as if we have had a perpetual full moon that we just don't see. To balance the craziness around me, I resorted to doing more Yoga and possibly an extra glass of wine. What did I learn from this week? The moral? 1. Don't lose your cool! It takes hours and copious amounts of wine to get it back. 
2. Always save your Privates. They are important.
3. Keep your upper body fit. You might get locked in a cage and have to climb out.
4. Your day can always be turned around( especially when you don't get hit by a train!) Just because your week doesn't start well, doesn't mean it won't end well. Change your attitude, laugh about it and live another day. 
Wishing you Peace and Love, but mostly Peace

When You Want Better

" There are some things in this world you rely on, like a sure bet. And when they let you down, shifting from where you've carefully placed them, it shakes your faith, right where you stand." S. Dessen I thought I had shed all of my expectations. I really thought I had stopped expecting things from people...I lied. And I can't tell you how vexed I am about this(I love that word vexed!). I don't believe my expectations were high, but I still had them. I don't ask nor expect smiles from people every day. I don't expect money or kind words from strangers. Heck, I don't even expect that from family. But, I do expect Decency, with a capital D. Did you just say that's even asking too much? Why? Why is it that we, as Human Beings, can't expect people to be decent? I didn't say kind; Decent. There is a difference. I will use this as an example, picture this: You are walking into the grocery store and someone is walking in front of you. They get ...

Be Ever So Humbled

I am a prideful person. I have never denied it and I have learned, through trial and error, to ask for help. To write about it is even harder! But I had a one-woman intervention and this is part of my "therapy." As some of you know, at least the ones that follow my blogs, this past Summer was an eye-opener. My health was out of control and the pain my body was, sometimes still is in, was something I couldn't control...or so I thought. To be a Fitness Professional, to be a Woman that is used to being able to move and lift at will, my body IS my business. How does this happen? And how do I stop this? I am not going to go into the lurid details of all of my symptoms. This isn't a blog for me to gripe. This is all about me trying to help someone, anyone who might be in pain right now. Steps to help all of us lessen our pain. Here is my disclaimer: This is not a cure for getting rid of the swelling. What I do for myself, might NOT help you. Any autoimmune disorder needs to...

Love, in all its Glory

I read this comment earlier: " I loved too much." Why are you blaming yourself for loving? Why do we do that? One of my Dear, Bestest:) Friends jumped down my throat yrs. ago when I said to them: " You love too hard! That's why you are hurt now." the response was swift and it went something like this: " If you don't love with ALL you have, after you say  you are in love.. then what is the point? You are just wasting time." And he was and still is right. Don't blame yourself for this person not being ready to receive the gift of your Love. They just weren't ready. Or maybe you just weren't ready for each other. Don't lock yourself away because someone didn't recognize the gift of...You.   Wishing everyone ALL the Love their hearts and hands can hold.
