Today is the first day that I wore a hijab. Also it is the first day that I posted a picture on my Instagram. I had a lot of nervousness of what my friends and family would think, but so far, I've had a lot of amazing feedback and encouragement from my friends. Wallahi, what a relief. I'm really encouraged now to just go all out because deep down, I know that it's what I have to do.
Anyways, work has been so good. I'm really happy because ever since the light of Islam touched my heart, I have been making sure to spend time in sujood and offer my 5 daily prayers. I know I am not making the proper salat, but my duas I try to be so sincere and honest. Why do people pretend to not be sinners? we all sin, why do we make so light of it and try to cover it up? Anyway just some thoughts.
Today is Vietnamese (Chinese ) New Years Eve! Tet! I'm going to try to clean my house as much as possible. I'v always been so keen on that! I already started my day with fajr, then 45 minutes of yoga, then I just got ready and changed to take pictures, even though it was only a selfie from the neck up. Man I need to get myself a professional photographer, lmao. Anyway- I feel like I've updated enough; Alhumdulilah for everything.

December Update. :)
Hey Diary. :) Sometimes I just wanna call you my diary, because I feel like no one reads you, although I know that the internet is vast. If there is someone who stumbled onto my blogger maybe due to a random search of something, hello. :)
Today started off wonderfully. I woke up and made some peppermint tea, did some Boho beautiful yoga, and then made sweet potatoes for brunch. :) Then I went to Connie for my second facial with her. My first facial was about 3 weeks ago. She has been able to persuade me to return, and I really like her, she has a positive vibe, and she's so generous with her time. She also refuses to accept tips, which is pretty awesome in todays world. Today she gave me some take home mask to take with me.
I usually notice lately that I blog when i'm in a good mood! Especially when I am in a happy mood, plus I have things to report (or record). For example I think it's smart to report that I got my paragard removed on Saturday. (December 10, 2016). I am SO happy to get it removed. I really did not like having it inside me, and the cramping and swelling that I felt in my uterus area is too much. Also, with more extensive reserach, I concluded that IUD's are not for me because they cause copper toxicity and I generally just felt instinctually that someone was not right with me because I had Paragard implanted in my uterus. Although it's supposed to be hormone free, I certainly felt a lot of emotional distress from having it. Just physical stress, fatigue, lethargy, and a climbing feeling of moodiness, very similar to PMS. The day I took it out and the next day I felt insane PMS. Now i'm even more glad to make a decision to get it out after 6 and a 1/2 months. I'm sure the IUD was causing energy blockages, and stimulating a negative autoimmune response. I'm glad to have my wits about me, and to have a researchers mind- to gather more information and collect the data to make an informed decision.
Anyways, that's all folks. :P

New To November
I love this song and movement. I want to learn it by heart. Aghh. It's too lovely.
This month, I tried two things I have never tried before:
Yin YOGA
and TAI CHI!
I am honored and feel humble to meet my heritage. I am happy that I can grow as a person in my relationship, and still make room for God in both of our lives. ♥ ♥
Happy Birthday To Me!
Today my love took me to Kind Kreme for lunch and then we visited my parents house. My brother was there! I got birthday money, and then we went home and chilled. Then we had hot pot dinner in the living room while our kitchen is being remodeled. Now we are in bed ready to sleep.:P
I am proud to be 28 and already have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord, the Son of God. I have been studying about prophets and who they historically were in the Bible. I realize in my knowledge quest that I have a lot of attributes and signs that say I am destined to be a prophet. I know I should keep these things to myself, but I study the Bible now with a passion that I never had before. I am learning how to read the Bible and to ask the Holy Spirit to help me and guide me to know the Truth about who and what he is. Everlasting life is the gift from our beloved Heavenly Creator.
Anyways, I got my green smoothie and yoga time today so i'm happy.
Byeeeee! :)

Tomorrow is my birthday :)
Tomorrow is my 28th birthday, and i'm very happy and excited about celebrating it. I know a birthday is just another cycle around the sun, but for me, this birthday feels incredible knowing how many milestones, successes, and triumphs that have occurred to me and for me in my life. If I could describe how I feel about my self and my life: I feel great Joy. Gratitude. Happiness. I have been really focusing on the power of prayer and focusing in on how I can implement more of it into my life. I feel like I have triumphed over so much.

Hey Journal, Happy Halloween!
Today is another beautiful Halloween 2016. I woke up and made Tanny Raw's Cake Batter Smoothie, and then I did a 30 minute yoga session with Ali Kamenova on youtube. I love doing exercises on the floor. Lately, or the past 2 weeks, i've been doing my morning yoga again. I feel great, I love including my yoga practice into my daily routine. The benefits that I feel are emotional, mental, and probably psychological too, as well as helping me to build a stronger healthier body. I've been more patient, peaceful, and calm.
We are going to close early a 6 pm today. I've been happy because starting last month we now take a day off, and we got annual passes to Disney land and we go all the time. :) Anyways, I just wanted to include a quick entry because I know i can go a full year with barely any entries. I'm really happy also because I have been vegan now since before July 2016! I don't have a vegan birthdate, but if I did, I would celebrate it on July 1! (Amazingly also my sobriety date). :) Anyways, i'm glad to be enjoying life.. I'm technically living out one of my dreams and it's awesome whenever I realize that.
