Finding Nemo... and Heaven

My trip to Malaysia and Borneo was awe-inspiring. I couldn't get over how beautiful it was there. We covered city, mountain and beach on this trip. We climbed Mt. Kinabalu, the highest mountain in SouthEast Asia ( try 13,435 ft!!). We scuba dived and snorkeled with the entire cast of Finding Nemo. I saw 3 sea turtles and even a reef shark !! We lapped it up in the warm weather with new friends, ate lots of yummy curry and made friends with the local children.


Unfortunately I didnt have an underwater camera with me to capture the fishes but here are some shots of the island Sipidan and pics of the sunset above the clouds on Mt. Kinabalu.

Week 1: Vegetarian!

So today marks 1 week that I haven't eaten any meat. No seafood, not anything on 4 legs, nothing. I feel remarkably lighter, more energetic and can sleep better at night.

On to week 2...

Afterthoughts...

I've been doing a bit of reflecting this past weekend.

So many thoughts and ideas have been running through my head about life, love and the pursuit of happiness. Addressing and gaining resolution in my personal life has reminded me of who I am, who I was and who I will be.

I did something this weekend I never thought I would have the strength to do- cut out a person in my life who has meant so much to me. I loved this person tremendously, I still do but I realize in order for me to move on with my life, this is what needs to be done. I often think about this person and how their life is now, especially without me in it. However, you can't dwell on someone who doesn't appreciate you as a person, as a precious soul, as a human being.
No one should ever, ever, ever tolerate that. And especially one who doesn't recognize and appreciate total and pure, unconditional love. That is one true rarity in this world.

Sometimes you have to shut people out in order to let them back in. I've learned this after few months and I think this is me finally healing ... without a scar.
