One of my Resolutions for 2018 was to start drawing again. I was an avid drawer up until my freshman year of high school when the “art” teacher told me that Japanese Animation style wasn’t “art.” It pretty much crushed me and I rarely drew since. But this year, I’m gonna pick up the pencil again. Thanks to @udemy I’ve enrolled in two drawing courses to help with my #resolutions2018 #drawing #udemy

My #resolutions2018 are simple. To self-heal and to reconnect. January I focused on meditation and set aside 30 min each day to do @yogawithadrienne . Some days were hard to come to the mat. I didn't want to quiet my mind. Sometimes distraction was easier than facing my own thoughts and vulnerabilities. These were days i was resentful towards Adrienne--i wanted to be anywhere but my mat. Somehow i managed to find the self-discipline to follow through. Inside, i knew i needed it. To start the healing, I first needed to begin to reset my mindset in order to find the faith in myself and the courage to get through this next year of my life and the process of healing my soul. Some other things fell into place too. I stumbled upon a couple of dance classes i enjoy, and found a soccer meetup group conveniently located a few train stops away. I officially severed all financial ties to Virginia and D.V., and took the first steps in reconnecting and rebuilding my support group. Once again, things are falling into place. NY is empowering me to grow a second time around. This whiteboard is a record of the physical activity i accomplished each day. WT=weight training, the rest is self explanatory. February the focus will be on self-forgiveness and self-permission while continuing the process of rebuilding a sport system. #30daysofyoga #LifeIsBestWithFriends #Faith #emotionalstrength #reasonablegoals #growth (at Washington Heights, Manhattan)

As one of my 2018 resolutions, I am challenging myself to become better at baking. One baked good each month for a whole year. In #january we have a black bean brownie. This brownie is so moist, and easy to make. All of the ingredients can be blended in a blender and poured right into the pan! They are #glutenfree and weight watcher friendly. #goals #baking #betterbaker #resolutions2018 #glutenfreebaking (at Hamilton Heights, Manhattan)
