Creating 2015—Day 125: Happy Cinco de Mayo!
No, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day. That is September 16th according to Wikipedia. Cinco de Mayo is the celebration of the day the Mexican army defeated French forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. For some, like me in my younger days, Cinco de Mayo was the “Dia de Margarita.” In English: The day of the margarita—one of my favorite cocktails and the perfect excuse to have one even in the middle of the week. I haven’t actually had a margarita in a really long time. Sounds so good! But unfortunately, I’m still on a cleanse and margaritas are not on the menu. So, I raise my imaginary Cadillac margarita on the rocks with salt to...

Not going to lie. Today was a total wash! I am normally energized on Mondays. I love them. But instead, I had a serious case of narcolepsy. I took a bike ride late morning in an attempt to wake up but I promptly took a long nap afterwards so it obviously didn’t work well. It crossed my mind I might be coming down with something because I was so deliriously tired all day in spite of having slept almost eight hours last night. We shall see what tomorrow brings. I hope it is energy as opposed to sickness. Fingers crossed. Back to sleep for me. Until tomorrow, create from what you have…unexplained fatigue.

Janet Mock is Redefining Realness. Born Charles, her father’s first son, she instinctively knew and identified as a girl as early as age three. Fascinating stuff! And inspiring. Incredibly inspiring. The courage it took her to step into her authentic self makes my jaw drop. I marvel at her bravery, her conviction, her strength to say, “this is who I am.” And not only to say it, to live it. I also marvel at her crystal clear clarity. The fact she so clearly knew who she was! I often feel like I’m still trying to figure that out! Who am I? Or, more likely, I’m still trying to figure out who the world will accept and celebrate me as. In other words, who is the...

I got to see the amazing Marina at Smile this morning. Long overdue as usual. But since I wait so long, it always feels like such a treat to see her—yes, for the wonderful work she does of de-hairing me, but also because she’s such a lovely person to chat with for an hour. The second treat for the day was going to Carousel for lunch. I do believe I have officially burned myself out on it after today though. Full disclosure: I was just there yesterday for lunch too! And like a week ago and a week prior. I went nuts with Carousel! An indication of my obsessive personality. Although my obsessions don’t last too long because now I need a break. An indication of my...
