On The Rocks

It was like heaven for a while, But as time passed hugging each other seemed a little boring. Each knew every hair of the other.

Trina Paulus was 100% accurate in Hope for the Flowers... You know your relationship is in trouble when hugging gets boring. Haha.

why don't you read Hope For the Flowers by Trina Paulus and maybe you'll calm down

[christyaltomaredaily]

christyaltomare: Yesterday was an amazing, surreal, and magical day. I was so honored to get to sing the National Anthem AND run the @nycmarathon ... this has been a bucket list dream of mine and I couldn’t have dreamt up a better day ... I hit a wall at mile 18 but kept going. Pete hit no walls and had fun the entire time! Everyone says you never know what kind of a race it will be. My dream was to finish without stopping. Bonnie Panson, my old stage manager told me to sing songs in my head when the wall hit and I did ... then someone held up a sign that said pain is temporary and those two thoughts got me to the end... thank you to everyone who helped me get there @newbalance (for all the amazing gear!) , @nyrr NYRR’s @mattstusinger Matthew Singer, Trina Singian, and Laura Paulus for asking me to sing and helping coordinate it all, @mkann Melanie Kann for training me, The @fdnyrunningclub for throwing a GREAT after party, my fiancé Pete for being such a big support and training with me, and for such an amazing and inspiring NYC crowd for cheering us all on!! my heart is so full....I am officially a Marathoner! ❤️🏃‍♀️🤸‍♀️🏅

"How does one become a butterfly?" she asked pensively.

"You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar."

— Trina Paulus, Hope for the Flowers

----

It's the fear of failure that hinders us from taking chances. But as they say, you'll never know unless you try.

There is a butterfly inside of us waiting to be freed. It will keep on knocking until we realized that it's time to trust our instinct. Leap and soar high because that's what you are meant to be!

----

This book was a gift from one of the colleagues closest to my heart. It touched the inner child in me — that young dreamer who once believed that dreams are bound to be turned into reality.

It will take time, yes, but so long as you firmly believe that you can, you will.
