It's been 34 years LA

It been 34 years since I have been to LA.  The last time is was there was in 1984.  I was 15 years old.  I was a rising sophomore and just started to wear glasses.  I was starting really become who I am today.  I had just spent several weeks in the big horn mountains of Wyoming at girl scouts of America national center west.  It was an awesome experience of survival, leadership and learning.  I admit I was totally in my feelings as we landed.  Most of my LA relatives have gone home to God.  But I have fond memories of the times I was in LA.

Doing things differently

I going to do things differently in 2019.  First of all I have 6 months till I turn 50.  I am still trying to figure out what I want to do, but it will b epic for me.  I want to start traveling for me.  Not for a conference or convention, but just to travel and see the world. I used to do that when I was younger.  I going to start back up again.. Also I plan on doing things for me.  Saying no and keep it moving.  If anything this year has taught me to keep reaching for my goals and keep moving.  Now on to 2019

A day of new things

Had a Sunday off and visited Westminster Presbyterian church.  The music was a wonderful mix of traditional anthems and Swedish folk music.  The sermon was very thought provoking.  It was center's around the fact the Sarah laughed when the messenger told Abraham that she would bare a son.  It was  a mix of joy yet sadness because she had waited so long.  God will do things in God's time.  I kept thinking how many time I have told people my name is not Sarah.  Anyway, did 9.2 miles today.  I really felt it.  My feet hurt.  I really need to get new shoes.  But I made it.

The beginning ...

In the beginning m&d, had a baby girl...bla,bla bla,...y'all know the story.  As I enter my 49th year of life, I have decided to document this entire year in a blog.  You see theoretically I should have been dead at 36.  Very few people survive an aortic aneurysm, but I did.  By the grace of God, I made it.  I have always wondered why I'm still hear.  But this year I'm going to stop wondering and live life to the fullest.  Thinking out side the box and doing things differently as I lead up to the big 50.  Enjoy the adventures of Monica.... The good, bad and the ugly?
