From Here on Out

From Here on Out...


I have decided that I am done being a procrastinator. I am tired of the "I'll do it later" attitude that I (like many other people) have adapted to become the theme of their life. I am going to catch up on all of the little things that I have put off and that I have put on the proverbial "to-do" list. It is time for the great change, and I am ready for it! Little things like cleaning the house (and keeping it clean, lol), organizing and getting rid of things (clothes, papers, magazines, etc), getting my ass to the gym (and GOING 3-5 times a week even when I don't want to go).

This weekend I am focusing on the house - cleaning & organizing what I can. I have bigger plans for the bedroom but I need to get the room ready before I can do what I want to do with it. It's supposed to be rainy anyway, so rather than lounge on the couch, I will be working on the house.

Come Monday morning, I am implementing a new routine to my life... the gym! I have hit a wall in the weight loss on my own, so it is time to bring the gym in! I am going to go 3-5 days a week, no excuses (unless I am out of town or extremely ill). I have a goal in mind and I WILL get there. I lost about 70 lbs on my own last year and have no doubt that I can and will get to my next goal, I just need to stay focused.

And of course the next goal is to continue to do well in my classes. I got my Massage Tech business cards last week and ordered my table, so very soon I will be able to start massaging for tips. I signed up for 2 classes for next quarter- Deep Tissue Manipulation and Advanced Circulatory & Sports Massage. I'm actually very excited to be doing this program. I feel that I will be able to make a great living doing this! I am hoping that I will be able to get into the Padres or the Chargers, and still maintain a successful business of my own! While I complete the HHP program, I plan to possibly look at working for a spa or other company and start building a great personal clientele. As soon as I get my table I want to start handing out my cards at the tanning place I go to, my dog's camp, friends etc. I am really looking forward to it all. :)

So in all actuality, I am just looking to streamline my life. To make my home a relaxing, organized place where I can relax and study too. I am happy, but you can never be too happy :) To me you should always be improving yourself... always learning and growing as a person- becoming the best, most well rounded person that you can be.

"Our Deepest Fear"

So, as many as you know, I am currently enrolled in a Massage Tech class, with the ultimate goal of obtaining my HHP (Holistic Health Practitioner's Certificate). Last night at the end of class, our Thursday night instructor Shaunna read this "poem" to us. As I found out after a bit of online research, it's actually and excerpt from a book called "A Return to Love", which was written by motivational speaker & author Marianne Williamson. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did, and not only pass it on to friends and family, but live by it as well. Love, Robyn



Our Deepest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
