— The year of 2012 is upon us. My mind has been racing. I am preparing for maximum efficiency in the coming year. I’ll come back to write more about this soon. For now, ponder upon that thought. The Time that is upon us has the potential to be Legendary. What will you do? Who will you be? What will you stand for? Think about this.

— If you are on Instagram, find me at charloro — I post constantly. I love it > twitter > Facebook > wordpress. iPhone ALL THE WAY!!!!

— I don’t post as often anymore, and it isn’t because I’ve chosen to be neglectful. It’s simply because I missed the essence of expression. When I was 15 I used to blog every single day. It’s how I learned how to write. I wrote so vulnerably and nakedly without any contemplation as to who or how many people were reading. It’s difficult to be so open these days when I write and in the back of my mind I know there’s an audience. Who wants to censor themselves because we’re mindful of who’s watching? Let it be known I have not abandoned this… I simply and authentically just want to post when I feel inspired to do so. I simply and authentically just want to post when it makes me feel like I’m 15 all over again and all I want to do is Share.

— It’s okay to choose Love, when your heart feels wronged. It’s okay to choose Love, when someone has broken your spirit. It’s okay to choose Love, when all you want to do is feel right, or justified, or avenged. It’s okay to choose Love, when they don’t want to love you back. It’s okay to choose Love, because it makes You the Courageous one.

— Currently undergoing PFD — Post-Festival Depression. Yes, it exists. No, I’m not exaggerating. Try 11 days of constant stimulus and then immediately afterwards a total come down. I feel so many different things, it makes me feel crazy. I will be up again soon…

— MANIFESTO DAY 5. I am so happy I feel like I can punch the air and make it pulsate. #THISSH*TISCHANGINGMYLIFE

— “When PREPARATION meets OPPORTUNITY.” – Big Norm.

When You find me, I’ll be Ready.

— No photographic evidence, as contracted by an Oath sworn unto the Princess of Penton Islands… but Bachelorette parties are the best things to unite old friends and keep a solid connection strong. To think that these ladies knew me before I became who I am today, helped shaped me into who I am today, one of them even before I moved to Toronto, humbles me. Connection’s never dwindled… we pick up where we left off, and I have nothing but Love all day for You. Shouts to Bates, Simi, Berinstein, Barbie, Lauren, Ruth, Tina, Alan, AnnMarie and every Queen Diva of last night! This wedding is going to be UNREAL.

— Stick it Out. Yes, especially when the going gets tough… you convince yourself you’re over it, you don’t need it, that you’re done… and you don’t realize these thoughts and feelings are part of the process of the FULL EXPERIENCE. Yes. When it’s good, when it’s terrible, and when it’s just alright. It’s a new threshold to cross. It is… an initiation.

Bigger things to come. Huge.

— I am full of RASTA LOVE. Too many life learnings, moments of deep appreciation, lots of laughing, loving, squeezes, kisses, craziness and silliness that gwanned this week. Blessed. SO blessed.
