lance part 2

dear lance,
i can't believe it. you just said yes to all of oprah's questions. i think i am still in shock. it didn't seem real. and now you are unraveling the story. it is stunning. i do feel sorry for you. i don't like what you've done but i understand it better now how it was the perfect storm. you were in an environment where doping was the norm and add that to your competitive personality of must win and bam you're getting the entire team in on it. and then as you said the momentum of you surviving cancer created this story of a hero. there really was no turning back. it must have been exhausting keeping up with the lies. but now you are free and like tiger woods i wonder what you do with all of this as you move forward with your life. we can all wait and watch.
take care, andrea

really lance?

dear lance,
to say i am disappointed is an understatement. i haven't watched your interview with oprah yet but i hear you admit to lying. seriously i don't care that you doped.  what i don't like is that you not only denied it, but you also attacked other people who told the truth. you made it seem everyone was ganging up on you and you were a victim. i am angry i believed you. now when i hear a story that is an underdog story i will think that perhaps the person is lying. it is like when someone comes up to you and says, hey my car just ran out of gas can you help me with some money. and when that person is lying it ruins it for anyone else that just might be telling the truth and need some help.
i don't know why you do this and i am not going to spend any more time on it.
i feel sorry for your kids.
i feel sad today. this too shall pass.
ok, i guess i will watch the interview. i need to hear the words come out of your mouth.
and then it is time for all of us to move on and not give you any more attention. there are way more important things in the world i can focus on...like helping those that really need it.
sincerely, andrea wait

jamie fox

watching oprah's interview with actor jamie fox.

oprah: are there things you still want to do
jamie: i have so many ideas that i want to before i die

hmmm. i thought gosh, i don't have any ideas. what's wrong with me?
fast forward to meeting with one of my business mentors and before i knew it i was telling her all sorts of business ideas i have.

i guess me and jamie fox have some similar goals.
for some reason that just makes me feel good.

here's to lots of good ideas. now i just need to get working.

day 24

day 24 was a big day for random act of kindness. it just came over me like i had no choice but to do it.
i was having lunch after yoga class at my favorite thai place, my thai. the food is great and i am friends now with the waitress. she is from thailand and making her way in this country. anyway, she told me today that one of her resolutions was to take bikram yoga. before i knew it i had her print her name on a napkin and next thing i knew i was driving to the school.  i bought my friend a month of yoga. as luck turned out she arrived while i was there.  i also knew the teacher of her class so i was able to connect the two of them. very cool.
there was a force bigger than me at work. i am so happy to have been a part of it.

monday

good morning monday. it is nice to see you again. i am ready to start your day and make it a good one! i hope you bring some sunshine, a yoga class, some tasty healthy meals, a few laughs, a chat with john, an email exchange with a couple friends and a few good hours of productive work.
if that is what the day presents...thank you.
here's to a good week!

ahhhh

i am so happy now. i suffered through a couple difficult work jobs and they are finally done. basically i  didn't  like the type of work i had to do. paper work was one. all my mind things is, oh my gosh throw that stuff out. stop getting so much mail and just throw it all away. thankfully i finished with a job organizing a closet. i love the clothing organization process.
now i am feeling even happier...i am out at my friend rebecaa's for the night. she just fed us as super delicious healthy meal and we are sitting on her couch getting ready to watch a chic flick. yay!
as i said in the title of this post...ahhhhhh!

wow

so right after yesterday's post i went to the doctor for a check up. and you know what they do? weigh you. the number shocked the crap out of me. wow, i really did it up over the holidays.
ok remain calm.
it only gets better from here.
have faith.
keep doing what i am doing.
ok i am beter now.
that was a close one.
happy saturday people.
