There are holes in my shoes
There are holes in my work shoes!!!
Since recently moving back to Los Angeles, I have had to work as a waitress. I promised myself I would not do this kind of job again, but as money is tight, I had to go to this fall back job.
I have found myself depressed, and cranky since getting back into the routine of serving people. For the most part customer treat servers like crap, its a great study in humanity. I'm not sure why it is this way, but it is!!! So I have been working really hard not to allow this to bring me down.
I had to buy black shoes for this profession, and after only four months of wear, they have holes in them. I was so upset that I couldn't afford to buy another pair, and then I reminded myself, that some people don't even own shoes. Some people don't have a job, and some people don't have their health. I am blessed, and I will choose to be thankful. I will wear my shoes until my boss notices and forces me to get a new pair.
My brother Alex has created a new show called missions in action, this is a life changing show, for the viewers, and voices it gives.
Lets all choose joy and be thankful, even if their are holes in our shoes!!! things could always be worse.
To watch Alex Boylans amazing show visit www.missionsinaction.tv and be grateful for what we all have :)

Mind and Body Maintance control
I have spent the last six months so focused on my body, getting in shape, eating right, I lagged on working on my mind.
I realized although I felt amazing from my vigorous workouts, I was feeling restless inside.
So I decided to stop and take an inventory of what was truly going on inside my head.
Life is so fast paced, so crazy spinning all the time. We have commitments, deadlines, and lovers to take care. We forget to stop and take care of ourselves. I recently bought a workbook entitled "Boundaries" which I am so thrilled to begin. I never really learned how to set good boundaries with people. Therefore I take on other people's emotions, and feel guilty all the time.
It boggles me down, and most of the time I don't even realize why I feel the way I do. The only true way to heal and correct these behaviors is to take the time you need with yourself, to ask some tough question's and meditate on changing them.
If you feel the way I do, I recommend taking a nice long walk, and just be present in the moment, buy a good workbook, that asked the questions you need to answer. Another recommended book, I did last year was "12 Steps to Spiritual Healing" This workbook was life changing for me. It really de-clutter my thinking, and helped me deal with life on more smoother surface.
Enjoy your day!!!!

Tis the Season To Eat, Drink, and be Merry
Hello All,
Sorry I have been silent for so long, life is crazy busy, and I haven't had a moment to write.
As the holidays are among us, with Christmas fast approaching, this is the time of year most woman dread. For their bodies at least, food is everywhere, and its delicious.
I recently discovered The Tracy Anderson Method. She is Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna's personal trainer. I started doing her 30 day workout and starting seeing amazing results. I ate her clean diet, and did her workouts religiosity. Now I am I using her method as maintenance, to keep my body in shape and firm.
Right now she is blogging constantly on her website about how to avoid those extra pounds we tend to put on during the holiday season.
www.tracyandersonmethod.com is where I go to read all of her current blogs, and if you search her on YouTube.com you will find most of her video's for FREE!!!! Her new book entitled "The Tracy Anderson 30 day Method" Is available in numerous books stores, including Borders, and Barnes and Noble's. I bought mine for 16.99 and it was far worth the price!!!!!
She is now my workout guru, as I am convinced she knows how to take any woman's body and give her the lean petite figure she has always wanted.
I hope you find this as exciting as I do.
Merry Christmas
Sending Love and Blessings

when I find something great I love to share it!!!
So I just heard about Gwyneth Paltrow's website, www.goop.com. I just spent a few hours surfing this fun, informative, website filled with secrets only celebrities get. One thing I was excited to find on this web page, was free video's from her personal trainer!
My girlfriend and I were just talking recently about how all the actress's in Hollywood have the same body, a long lean perfectly fit figure. So obviously they know a secret we do not. And for most of us who cant afford a personal trainer, its very kind of Gwyneth to upload free video's for us regular folks. :)
I also recently bought a workout video put out by Marissa Tomei, done with her personal trainer, and after spending the last week doing this challenge everyday, I feel sore in area's I didn't even know existed!! I HIGHLY recommend it, and its only 20 minutes of your day. As my other girlfriend who recently did it with me, pointed out "Just when its getting really hard its over." Which means its a doable workout, that will really tone and define your figure. Cause seriously who doesn't want that? :)
Enjoy,

Fasting and the amazing healing that comes from it
Fasting has so many health benefits, when done correctly.
Our body was created perfectly, and with that creation, it knows how to heal itself.
My amazing Doctor Miller, has always testified to fasting (with just water) as an amazing way to keep the body healthy. Recently i have been reading allot about how people have cured themselves of Cancer by using a Macrobiotic diet. Well this makes sense, since the food is light and easy to digest the body has time and ability to heal the area's that need healing.
In the Bible God uses fasting as his surgical knife, it is not just a religious reason, it is because it has healing power.
When you think about, your body is constantly working to digest the food we put down the hatch, and since most people overeat on a regular basis, our body is ofter working overtime to break down all that food. But if you take a day to fast (not starve) you give your body a break, and it can focus on dealing with other area's of your body.
Dr. Miller says everyone should fast- 1 day a week, 3 days every 3 months, and 7 days once a year.
I use to fast every Sunday a few years ago, and always felt so amazing the next day. I am planning on returning to this way of life.
There are plenty of fasts on the market these days, lots of Juice fasts, and Toxic cleanses. But some of them have serious side effects, and aren't good for every body type (my friend did that Master cleanse, also known as the Cayenne Pepper Cleanse, and wound up in the hospital, with a hole in his heart) that is some scary stuff!! Recently I bought into a juice fast, and tried it, and was dizzy, lightheaded and nausea on day two, not good!!!
WATER is simply the best way to cleanse our body, because even juice has to be broken down in our digestive system.
I encourage you to try it (one day without food won't kill you, trust me all the food in the world will still be available the next day :)
love and blessings,
Alexandra

TV: America's favorite past time
Since January I have been living happy without owning a television. Recently due to my new roommate, I now have a TV in my home, but NO cable, and I plan to keep it that way. I personally do not enjoy watching TV, for the most part because I find myself wasting about an hour just flipping through channels to find something to watch.
When my now fiancee and I first started dating he would come over to cook me dinner, and since I had no filler background IE: radio or TV, we would have to find our own things to do to entertain ourselves. One day we pulled out my French book, and practiced speaking this beautiful language. Its one of my favorite memories, and I have to say I don't think it would have happened if I had a TV to watch.
I noticed how much I would get done at my house when I had no television to distract me. I read and wrote more, I do yoga and meditate more, I run out to the park for longer walks, sometimes I take two to three walks a day. My mind feels clearer and fresher without the infiltrating of mass programming into my brain.
Recently I was in a families home, where there was no Television in the living room. I was so impressed I began to probe the mother about her reasoning behind this. She went on to tell me that her children get along better when they do not watch TV. In fact their kids are aware of it, and agree not to watch TV. She told me that when they are allowed to entertain themselves with the Tube, somehow it brings out the worst in them, and they bicker and fight. Other families have confessed the same thing to her, and find life to be more peaceful without it. This conversation grabbed my attention, and brought into focus how I have been feeling without television in my life. Peaceful- would be the key word. When I spend too much of my precious time surfing channels I feel drained, tired, and unmotivated.
When I was kid we had one of those ancient television's with three channels to watch, and I remember getting to pick one program a week to view. Looking back I am so thankful for this, because most of my time was spent in my parents back yard building tree houses and forts with my brothers. I think about kids today, who have TV, computers, phones, and the list goes on and on, and wonder how can their imagination's grow and flourish, with all these modern day technologies feeding it to them.
So I am encouraging anyone to spend a few days TV free, and see how you feel.
I bet you will get so much done and feel so much healthier without it.
