Del corazon
Del corazon se habla, si no? Ni pa’ que♥️💯🥰
I don’t care if people want to say I’m too hard on mysel or to cut myself some slack. Nah, you do that to you if that’s what you want to do. I’m constantly knocking myself down so I constantly gotta pick my ass up just as much. Also, that way nobody can say some mean shit that I won’t say to myself. But hey we are about love around here. The goal is to be as nice to myself as I am to others♥️🙏🏼🥰💯💯

Human
Basic human rights like the right to speak and breathe. If you don’t think this is true, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate your life. Heck, I believe it’s true and I’m reevaluating anyway. Just to double check. Just to make sure I am who I say I am.
Remember to stay silent because you have chosen to stay silent, not because someone is asking that of you. Remember to speak up because it is in your heart to speak up and not because it feels or looks like the right thing to do.
Self respect and boundaries. Let them laugh. Let them talk chances are they’re only running their mouths because that’s what they see, NOT what they truly know.
All I know, is that I don’t know anything but I am aware of this bit ♥️♥️♥️🙏🏼

Smells
Like French fries , looks like French fries, taste like French fries. Gosh I love French fries.
Being healthy does not mean you deprive yourself from your favorites . It just means we get to know when and how much is enough.
Have you ever stopped to give yourself time to actually feel satisfied after eating. Rather than fill yourself up to the point of no return?
Yes, it happens to me when I choose to get carried away. All we have to do is make a conscious decision when we start eating , to be present.
The quicker we can be sincere to ourselves, the quicker we will be satisfied with the portions that we eat.
Ps: Human, you are so loved.
Goal
Last night I had a difficult time going to sleep. My mind was racing , thinking, plotting , feeling too much and at the same time not enough.
As weird as the night was, I am beyond thankful for the beautiful day I had today.
Nothing extraordinary happened. Nor did I lift heavier than last week. But the simple fact that I was able bring all my awareness to who I am and what I want and how thankful I am for water, air and fire truly had my day filled with love and energy.
Today’s energy wasn’t that of a young girl naive to the dangers of the world like “lalala life is good”. It was more that of a woman getting the point. A woman who respects herself and her lover as much as she does her craft.
Anyway, speechless and thankful for my man. Because he helped me tremendously in today’s training session.
We are growing, learning, evolving and loving each other every day more and more🙏🏼♥️♥️💯

Mantra
CrossFit
It changed my life. Once you consistently target your health you won’t be able to allow yourself to get off track for too long.
Look 👀 when Glassman made that tweet and those remarks I literally panicked! I saw how gyms where real quick to change their name and affiliation.
I felt proud they where standing for the greater good. But in my mind I was worried and sad and felt lost!
I wondered what the heck is going to happen now? I’m all about peace and unity but what about my goals? What about the substance that keeps me sane and sober (for the most part) what about…then I remembered.
Sometimes you have to separate the art from the artist. An example of this is Brikram yoga. So in my heart I decided I would stick to CrossFit until it all shattered to pieces(if it ever did).
I noticed my CrossFit home did not make any irrational decisions or rude remarks. Thank God the CEO resigned and now he’s no longer a part!
My mind and body are now once again at peace that I can be loyal and stern in what has helped me stay sane and healthy (until further notice) because it could be that something will step down and the path will be more enjoyable 👀💯💯💯💯💪🏼🍯🧘🏻♀️
ps: enjoyable, still not easy 🙂🙃😅🤪

Buddha Squat
Truly helps the hips and flat feet (aching feet) but if you recently had knee surgery this is not a go to. The substitution for this would be to sit in a folded chair. A chair with good support or even a bolster. Not recommended to use anything as soft as a pillow.
Hold each side for 1mn 🧘🏻♀️
Day
Never thought I’d see the day when my heart would be taken over my such a lovely cute little noise being.
The love these little creatures give is truly like nothing ever!
How I look at is; this fella is never going to grow up and move out. Get his first car or go out to collage.
We are all they have and all they look forward to.
So if you don’t have a dog you’re missing out tremendously on true ,genuine ,sincere love.

So what has protesting accomplished?
👉🏾Within 10 days of sustained protests: Minneapolis bans use of choke holds.
👉🏾Charges are upgraded against Officer Chauvin, and his accomplices are arrested and charged. 👉🏾Dallas adopts a "duty to intervene" rule that requires officers to stop other cops who are engaging in inappropriate use of force. 👉🏾New Jersey’s attorney general said the state will update its use-of-force guidelines for the first time in two decades. 👉🏾In Maryland, a bipartisan work group of state lawmakers announced a police reform work group. 👉🏾Los Angeles City Council introduces motion to reduce LAPD’s $1.8 billion operating budget. 👉🏾MBTA in Boston agrees to stop using public buses to transport police officers to protests. 👉🏾Police brutality captured on cameras leads to near-immediate suspensions and firings of officers in several cities (i.e., Buffalo, Ft. Lauderdale). 👉🏾Monuments celebrating confederates are removed in cities in Virginia, Alabama, and other states. 👉🏾Street in front of the White House is renamed "Black Lives Matter Plaza.” Military forces begin to withdraw from D.C. Then, there's all the other stuff that's hard to measure: 💓The really difficult public and private conversations that are happening about race and privilege. 💓The realizations some white people are coming to about racism and the role of policing in this country. 💓The self-reflection. 💓The internal battles exploding within organizations over issues that have been simmering or ignored for a long time. Some organizations will end as a result, others will be forever changed or replaced with something stronger and fairer. Globally: 🌎 Protests against racial inequality sparked by the police killing of George Floyd are taking place all over the world. 🌎 Rallies and memorials have been held in cities across Europe, as well as in Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand. 🌎 As the US contends with its second week of protests, issues of racism, police brutality, and oppression have been brought to light across the globe. 🌎 People all over the world understand that their own fights for human rights, for equality and fairness, will become so much more difficult to win if we are going to lose America as the place where 'I have a dream' is a real and universal political program," Wolfgang Ischinger, a former German ambassador to the US, told the New Yorker. 🌎 In France, protesters marched holding signs that said "I can't breathe" to signify both the words of Floyd, and the last words of Adama Traoré, a 24-year-old black man who was subdued by police officers and gasped the sentence before he died outside Paris in 2016. 🌎 Cities across Europe have come together after the death of George Floyd: ✊🏽 In Amsterdam, an estimated 10,000 people filled the Dam square on Monday, holding signs and shouting popular chants like "Black lives matter," and "No justice, no peace." ✊🏽 In Germany, people gathered in multiple locations throughout Berlin to demand justice for Floyd and fight against police brutality. ✊🏾 A mural dedicated to Floyd was also spray-painted on a stretch of wall in Berlin that once divided the German capital during the Cold War. ✊🏿 In Ireland, protesters held a peaceful demonstration outside of Belfast City Hall, and others gathered outside of the US embassy in Dublin. ✊🏿In Italy, protesters gathered and marched with signs that said "Stop killing black people," "Say his name," and "We will not be silent." ✊🏾 In Spain, people gathered to march and hold up signs throughout Barcelona and Madrid. ✊🏾 In Athens, Greece, protesters took to the streets to collectively hold up a sign that read "I can't breathe." ✊🏾 In Brussels, protesters were seen sitting in a peaceful demonstration in front of an opera house in the center of the city. ✊🏾In Denmark, protesters were heard chanting "No justice, no peace!" throughout the streets of Copenhagen, while others gathered outside the US embassy. ✊🏾 In Canada, protesters were also grieving for Regis Korchinski-Paquet, a 29-year-old black woman who died on Wednesday after falling from her balcony during a police investigation at her building. ✊🏾 And in New Zealand, roughly 2,000 people marched to the US embassy in Auckland, chanting and carrying signs demanding justice. 💐 Memorials have been built for Floyd around the world, too. In Mexico City, portraits of him were hung outside the US embassy with roses, candles, and signs. 💐 In Poland, candles and flowers were laid out next to photos of Floyd outside the US consulate. 💐 And in Syria, two artists created a mural depicting Floyd in the northwestern town of Binnish, "on a wall destroyed by military planes." Before the assassination of George Floyd some of you were able to say whatever the hell you wanted and the world didn't say anything to you... THERE HAS BEEN A SHIFT, AN AWAKENING...MANY OF YOU ARE BEING EXPOSED FOR WHO YOU REALLY ARE. #readthatagain Don't wake up tomorrow on the wrong side of this issue. Its not to late to SAY, "Maybe I need to look at this from a different perspective. Maybe I don't know what its like to be Black in America... Maybe, just maybe, I have been taught wrong." There is still so much work to be done. It's been a really dark, raw week. This could still end badly. But all we can do is keep doing the work. Keep protesting. WE ARE NOT TRYING TO START A RACE WAR; WE ARE PROTESTING TO END IT, PEACEFULLY. How beautiful is that? ALL LIVES CANNOT MATTER UNTIL YOU INCLUDE BLACK LIVES. YOU CANNOT SAY 'ALL LIVES MATTER' WHEN YOU DO NOTHING TO STOP SYSTEMIC RACISM & POLICE BRUTALITY. YOU CANNOT SAY 'ALL LIVES MATTER' WHEN BLACK PEOPLE ARE DYING AND ALL YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT IS THE LOOTING. YOU CANNOT SAY 'ALL LIVES MATTER' WHEN YOU ALLOW CHILDREN TO BE CAGED, VETERANS TO GO HOMELESS, AND POOR FAMILIES TO GO HUNGRY & LOSE THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE. DO ALL LIVES MATTER? YES. BUT RIGHT NOW, ONLY BLACK LIVES ARE BEING TARGETED, JAILED, AND KILLED EN MASSE- SO THAT'S WHO WE'RE FOCUSING ON. 🖤🖤🖤BLACK LIVES MATTER🖤🖤🖤 Copy & paste
Today
simple
Oh my dear Diary
Today I got to workout with my best friend. He’s not much athletic as I wish he was lol just a reminder that we are all different and nobody ever said we have to be exactly the same to love and be better every day. We ate BBQ, meditated , visited my dad . Now? We are watching ufc😘
L-o-V-E✊🏼
This morning I woke up thinking how beautiful it will be if more and more people felt loved.
But like truly loved! Not loved because of what they have to offer you or how they make you feel. Loved simply because you are able to understand that they have a heart beat just like you.
Loved because they have been through some kind of suffering that they may never speak of yet manage to carry on. Loved because God loved us first.
Spreading love is as simple as sharing your smile or giving out a gentle compliment.
It’s true, now days it could be scary to spread love. We are constantly being bombarded with music and propaganda that talks about “f*** b****es get money” type of ways.
But check this, to love and spread love nowadays it takes another level of courage. Let’s be courageous 🤎💜🧡💛❤️🤍💚🖤💞
My baby boo got me these awesome pink crocks and when I wear them? I feel extra sassy 💁♀️Love, it starts at home but really in our heads! 🖤🤍💛🤎💜🧡❣️❣️❣️
When
“When it’s good it’s good. When it’s bad it’s growth.”
I don’t know about you but, lately I’ve been truly emotional about what’s going around in my city.
My family and I came to America for a better, brighter future. Home of the free and brave. But look at how it’s going right now.
As the days unfold, my prayer is that we all keep a healthy mindset.
Standing strong in what we believe in (Hoping it’s unity).
We have been misunderstood by those not wanting to understand. But now? We are being heard. Questions are being asked and answers will be given.
