June 1, 2012 - "It's a Beautiful Day!"

Okay...not sure...but hopefully, my friends will see this and appreciate it...despite the font!

Today is June 1.  Actually, as I type, it's 12:22 am EDT, so it's June 2.  WHATEVER!  I had a great day...with some ups and downs!

June 1 marked 1 year from being gainfully employed.  I don't sleep a lot right now...too much on my mind.  That said, I decided to say "Rabbit, Rabbit"...and get on it!

I had, as always, an AWESOME SOUL CYCLE class with one of my fave teachers, Sue.  Today, she changed it up a little bit...and made us climb some darned mountain for like 10 minutes...and it wasn't to the Supremes' "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"...but boy howdy, did she make us work (nothing new there...she always inspires us to woot woot...and get it done...I continue to wring out the old bandana)...then we had to sprint to U2's "It's a Beautiful Day"!  Good thing...cuz it really was!  Got the day going...and I was psyched and felt empowered!

After class, I had some iced tea with a pal.  Great chat!  I reached out for some advice...we shared some stories...some smiles and even a couple of tears...but I know...I have a great friend...thank you Soul Cycle!  Next stop...we'll skip the iced tea...and move on to margarooties (but only 2...if you know me!)!

Shortly before 1:00 pm today, I said a special prayer for Stella!  You may not know which "Stella" this prayer is for, but she does...as does her team!  Go Karma Go!

I then had to prepare for a job interview, participate in the interview, see some lovely and fabulous  former colleagues, and then ... I went to the NY Public Library to work on SDMC biz...I applied for a grant (can you say loan?!) and then submitted an app to spend the money I'm hoping to get!  You gotta love the "American Dream", right?!

I submitted grant app and vendor app practically simultaneously...then changed clothes to hop on down to the Cos Club for one...then back to the West Side to celebrate the marriage of one of my most endearing and enduring friendships!  Whoo-hoo!  At this celebration, I saw a very dear friend from my childhood...it's been 20+ years!  Wow...the Lord works in mysterious ways!

So, as I stop typing shortly, I vow to do this more often!  I had an emotional week...you need to read about it and share it with me!  ;-)

If you're yawning...it's b/c it's too late to be up reading this.  Go to bed and start up again tomorrow!

Cheers,
Coopie!
