Mastering with the Mentors

💐Mastering with the Mentors: A Year of of Growth, Gratitude, and Greatness My Self-Taught Journey with the Help of Mentors in Dance, Vegan Culinary Arts, Fitness, Writing, and Much more. 

This section of my blog is my evolving love letter to exploring my varied interests, lifelong and new. I’ve always been curious—about wellness, writing, movement, mindset, food, and the little joys that make life sweeter. Mastering with the Mentors is where I explore all of it, one passion at a time. Whether I’m studying self development with the greats, revisiting the expertise of wellness icons, or experimenting in the kitchen with plant-based pioneers, I’ll share what I learn, what inspires me, and how it all weaves into a fulfilled, more meaningful life. I’m not here to be an expert—I’m here to be a student of everything that lights me up. Join me as I discover it’s never too late to chase all of your dreams.

Living in Houston I sometimes feel far removed fro Living in Houston I sometimes feel far removed from my life in NYC, and my life with trees in California. @redwoodmusical reminded me to ground myself and remember, we are one with trees.  PILLARS OF WISDOM* ❤️ from camellia in snow poetry book. 
The trees of life  inspire to stand tall,  grow old with grace; 
offer uplifted palms
to those in need of 
shelter and shade
 from the erratic 
elements of earth.

The trees of life  teach patience;
tolerance of strangers, 
fight against prejudices. 
All are welcome 
under their emerald canopies,
 be it animal, bird or human.

The trees of life  nurture passion,  opening to all 
who weather their storms. 
embracing the breeze 
and the warmth  from the mesmerizing kiss
of the scorch of the sun.

The trees of life  show beauty is timeless,
greenery does not fade 
as do the fleeting years of youth.  Faith in Mother Nature, 
every winter is followed
by blossoming months 
of an expectant spring.

The trees of life,
our ancient mentors.
Surviving mortality;
 reaching for the heavens.
I am a mere pupil
hair swaying in the wind, 
never taking for granted
The life of trees 
Rose Bruno Bailey
Happy Sunday 😻 I am listening to motivational sel Happy Sunday 😻

I am listening to motivational self development books on audible. This has been a subject I’ve been obsessed about since way before my early blogging days. A subject I want to tackle organically, over a one year period starting in January. 

Please comment who you like to listen to and why. I’m currently listening to Mel Robbins. I also enjoy Tony Robbins, Dr Wayne Dyer, Eckert Tolle among others. I often watch random YouTubers for inspiration. 

It seems people who want to change their lives often don’t know what they want. 

That’s not the case for me. I know what I want, it’s trying to navigate life as I figure out how to get what I want that often leaves me stuck. Oh, and money. That’s a big one too. A lot of things ( example dance) cost money. 

I know my time management needs improvement, and I don’t get home from work before 11 pm. Days are the best time for me, but I find I need to sleep in at least until 10:00 am. 

I’m doing the self reflection now, so in January I can get to work. I’ve had some success at my dreams but it’s time to build on that. I’m also a terrible procrastinator and I sometimes make excuses why I’m not doing something. 

Doing a self reflection audit. Making lists and listening to those who inspire. 

You are never too old to dream big. 
If you are alive, it’s your time. 
There is no age, only attitude. 
Repeat ❤️
Love and light to all
No matter the circumstances, I always find a way t No matter the circumstances, I always find a way to  choose happiness. I choose laughter, reveling in simple and silly moments.  I choose to chase my dreams no matter the number of my birth year, the number on the scale or my bank statement. I am a human not a number, a human who believes in magic.
It’s no secret anymore that my writing partner Joh It’s no secret anymore that my writing partner John and I are writing a script for a pilot and series, and the main character is loosely based on a younger version of myself. I repeat loosely. 

Writing this has been in the making for over a year, and we are having a creative blast.

The photos are of me at age 38 in Pittsburgh PA. and one is photoshopped copy to look more like an avatar then like me, so we can get inspiration from her; our main character.

The show has multiple locations, I’m sure you can guess by this photo. We plan to start pitching in 2025.
Happy Birthday to the love of my life!! Happy Birthday to the love of my life!!

We lived in Pittsburgh from 1999 to 2005. ( photo We lived in Pittsburgh from 1999 to 2005. ( photo late spring 2005) 

We started a tradition making burgers and tator tots, having candy, carving pumpkins and watching Halloween movies. A tradition we have done for years. 

In our second apartment in Pittsburgh ( Mt Lebanon) we tossed our first old couch. We didn’t have one in time for Halloween so we ate our Halloween feast on the floor with bowls of candy and blankets galore. It was cozy in all its simplicity.

I almost want to sit on the floor tonight as I eat my beyond burger; cats and hubby by my side as we watch the giddy children trick or treat for candy.

All is well with the world. 

Love and light to all and Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃
