“One day, for not apparent reason, the Warrior realizes that he does not feel the same enthusiasm for the fight that he used to. He continues to do what he has always done, but every gesture seems meaningless. At such a time, he has only one choice: to continue fighting the Good Fight. He says his prayers out of duty or fear or whatever, but he does not abandon his path. He knows that the angel of the One who inspires him has simple wandered off somewhere. The Warrior keeps his attention focused on the battle and he perseveres, even when everything seems utterly pointless. The angel will soon return and the merest flutter of his wings will restore the Warrior’s joy to him.” From Paulo Coelho’s Warrior of the Light
This quote actually came into my mind several times yesterday and then today! I have not been feeling well and have felt that the angel of the One who inspires me had gone off on a rendezvous somewhere else. :)
So, this morning I reminded myself that the Angel of Inspiration and Enthusiasm would be by my side soon. And, not to give into doubt or worry and to keep fighting the Good Fight! Do the simple daily things like meditate, stay positive, and know that all is well!
It is so great because as they day has progressed the Angel has returned and I have felt re-energized, rejuvenated and excited!! Incredible what confidence and knowing can do for ya eh? :)
It truly makes a difference to be committed to something bigger than yourself and to know that it is about the journey not the destination and that everything does count and inspiration comes and goes but faith and consistency is the key!
Thank you Paulo for your incredible words of wisdom! :)

It is important for me to keep my cells happy, they impact the health of my mind! And, taking a really great poo always helps. ;) Maybe too much information but keeping it regular is one of the most important aspects to the health of our bodies! :)
I can be so funny about training… I have been training everyday for the last 3 weeks and it is awesome and I feel incredible doing it everyday. It is also time to turn it up as I want to start training intense for November, December & January. And, then fine tune Feb and March and then compete the end of March! It is an amazing plan as I have never had this long to train!! So, in the next week I will start to train 2 times a day in the early morning and early afternoon. I know I will feel even better, always do when I move more!! :)

Spirit
My intention/mantra for the day – Desire. All of my desires are coming true. I love having burning, passionate desires!
Ahh my beautiful heart. She is a powerful one. Often more powerful that I give her credit or allow her to fully express! Every day I am feeling more and more powerful in my Spirit and my connection to God. Visions of being a Minister dance in my head!! I really appreciate my daily meditation I feel I can hear Her talking to me more and more! She is a fiery, intense, loving and passionate Goddess!
My Favorite Blissful Moments – Seeing a little girl dancing on the street, she was so adorable and free. It made me smile! :) Taking a walk at sunrise today, seeing Ibu (our housecleaner downtown on her way to temple and telling her she looked Chantique which means beautiful in Balinese. Her face lit up! :) Seeing Brian’s desires coming true! Watching the sunset, stunning!
Appreciation for the Good, Great and Beautiful – I appreciate our cell phone. I appreciate Made our driver. I appreciate my creative dreams, I am grateful for my number 2’s :), I am grateful for all of my friends, I appreciate my momma (who is sending a package to Bali for us, thanks mama!), I appreciate all of my cells!
Final thoughts of the day – I feel good!! :)
