On the Go

Yesturday, during my break at school, I met up with Glenda, who is in charge of the UH Map alcohol project. The staff from this group and students from the university, who love to write, contribute their health or wise alcohol decisions to have published for the UH "On the Go", stall street journal. She showed me the banners and projects that they have done in the past, and what they are working on at the moment. We started brainstorming ideas, and she offered for me to have my own health column for the upcoming fall! She also gave me this cute, aluminum, logo water bottle that represents the journalism group. I am so excited to collaborate, and know this will be a good experience.

These past few weeks, I been making "me time" as a part of my weekly schedule. By taking a break from my day, it really does make a difference, a happiness that only you can create within yourself.

Like I said in my first post, I have been going to the zen meditation garden a lot lately. Yesturday, I started my me time by going to the garden. Here I receive light, my stress is relieved, and I come out with positive energy. For dinner I made eggplant and egg white salad. The ingredients in this healthy meal are: 1 eggplant and 1 egg white, chopped and sauteed in a little oil, sprinkled with pepper and seasoned salt, over a fresh handful of green lettuce, and stringed carrots.

After, I took an evening walk to San Souchi beach. San Souchi is one of my favorite beaches, the jade water, tangerine sun, and cotton candy skies. It was a beautiful walk, good excercise, and very calming. I went there to watch the sunset and take photos while hip-hop beats filled my ears. Remember to always take out time for yourself, have a beautiful day! -Deanna
