The adventure continues!

I have said it before and I will say it again...I am the luckiest girl in the whole wide world!  Life is one big adventure and I am so thankful for its delights.  The ability to manifest your desires is amazing.  I am looking for a life partner.  One that is interested in marriage, children, working together to make a difference in this world for our children and their children.  Each new relationship I have tends to be better than the last as I emerge with a new perspective and understanding of myself.  This new relationship with Roman looks very promising.  Yes, I know, they all do in the beginning..   I have high hopes every time that this time he is the one!  I hope he is able to keep the excitement and adventure alive!  It's a team effort for sure!  After racing in the Colombus Day Regatta, I know that we work together well as a team.  If you ask me it's team christi.  If you ask him its team roman.  How about we merge it into team christi-roman or roman-christi?  We shall see what the future brings!  I know one thing...it's alot of fun!

Infinite Possibilities

The world is so much more expansive and open to us, much more than we could believe. The opportunities that present themselves like magic just fall into place like a perfect jigsaw puzzle. Have you ever asked yourself the question, "If you could do anything in the world and money was no object, what would it be?" I have been asked that question and my answer is, "Travel". When I was going through my first transformations, going from Owner of retail clothing store to....turned into fitness, personal training (a whole other story within the story!!!), the images of what I could do and enjoy doing was travel around the world doing outdoor adventure things wearing clothing/gear by companies wanting input and promotion and write about it in an adventure/fitness/lifestyle magazine. I was looking for my new career matching the following criteria: 1) I never had to wear a suit to work or work in an office ever again. 2) I could make my own schedule 3) I could meet and interact with new people everyday. 4) It had to be in fitness. 5) I had to make lots of money.

Ok, the money thing...my association to money and my "needs" have changed since I set those qualifications. So now when I read "make lots of money", my associated "mass" of "money" is a much smaller quanity to meet "lots". All is well and happy without massess of massess of things and massess. Less is better, leaving room for more....

So as I go through these stages of life, life is giving me the experiece necessary to have the tools to travel around the world and get paid to do it and love every minute of it. Richard, Michele and I are the combo of three. Michele and I resonated on the power of 3. Richard has been attracted and we are co-creating together. We will be traveling the globe on EcoAdventures and sharing our tales as we go!

This gal shall be telling tales of late nights and little sleep if I don't hit the hay NOW! Sleep well my friends.

Could it be a seasonal thing?

There seems to be a pattern emerging around this time of year. Change. Major change. Change for the good, always. Another lesson learned, another layer removed, the next step closer to the real you. Getting past all the BS that has been left behind, embedded within or taken upon, it harbors us down unless we are able to get from out from underneath of it. Relationships can come and go in our lives acting as the tide washing out the old and bringing in the new. New energy, clean energy, high energy. Raising the vibration and riding a higher frequency.

This higher frequency lady is hitting the hay to revive those frequencies!

Only 2 Degrees

We live in this expansive universe among millions and millions of other people, yet every where we go and everywhere we look we see people we know and find people of those people knowing other people and our other people know some of their people and time and time again we are reminded that this is a small universe in which we are all connected to and with in and with each other. Such cause and effects brings us to those moments. Those moments of ah-ha. Those moments of awe and wonder and belief all at once. This life that we live is so precious because we are creating the reality that we see. What we see is what we believe. If we believe in the possibilities, then those possibilities becomes our reality. When you follow the signs and follow the frequencies, your intuition will lead the way. Anything is possible. When you are participating in something that is good for the whole, then you are part of the positive equation. That means all parts fit together with harmony, in balance and without force. You "ride the wave" of good vibrations.

Check out these two ladies, DJ and LV, who followed the signs and rode the wave and now they are traveling the country making an Internet radio talk show called Only 2 Degrees. You can find them at http://www.only2degrees.com/. Thanks to Judy Hull at the Islamorada Chamber of Commerce, these two ladies were able to interview some of us Upper Keys locals for their international show! By going to their website you can hear the show interviewing me about Pilates in Paradise and the history of Pilates, Tom Smith, "The Wine Guy", who is part owner in Tasters Grill and also Tony from the Green Turtle about wine (one of these ladies favorite past times, other than exercising and adventures!). The name of the show is a spin off of 6 degrees of separation. They realized that in their small California town, there really was only 2 degrees of separation. Now as they travel and connections are made and the Internet takes their adventures around the world, the connections become closer and 2 degree stories start to emerge.

Times are changing and the technological age is upon us. It is amazing the information that is available at our fingertips that is retrieved from where? The Internet, this unseen, omnipotent thing is responsible for instant connection and communication. Doesn't that just seem amazing? If we can send information from the Moon and back, then we can nurse our small planet back to health.

We are what we eat, what we drink, what we breathe. As we "green" our habits, we "heal" our planet, we "heal" our bodies. The planet, as a whole, is a breathing, living organism with a frequency too. We must raise our frequency, lighten our footprint, increase our awareness and enlighten our consciousness that we are all one, we are all connected and when things are in line and aligned, that there is harmony.

I have so many 2 Degrees stories. Widen your lens, open your heart and believe in the infinite possibilities and watch those 2 degrees pop up everywhere!

As the world turns

The world keeps turning in circles and we can't even feel it. We are flying through space so fast we can't even tell we are moving.

If you stand on a boat with your eyes closed. You can feel the movement beneath you. That feeling is the connection to everything, everyone, everywhere, all at the same time.
The possibilites of the next moment is infinite.
The future is now.

The existance of this planet is recorded to go back in time more than we can really fathom. We are so lucky that this planet and it's atmosphere is as durable as it has been for us. In the last 200 years, we have managed to cause more damage to this planet that the last couple million put together! Most people have had the mindset that everything is inexhaustible. We are learning that is not the case. We have limited resources, limited space and limited time. If we were to stay on path of destruction, our time line for this species would be short lived, unless we found other planets to take over and rape.

The raping and pillaging of races, nations and planets are over.

We are entering a time of enlightenment. This species is waking up and reaching higher levels of awareness and consciousness. We will reach that critical mass creating a massive quantum shift in thinking. One by one we are self investigating and changing our programing. We are raising our frequency, attracting more like-minded people, to create a world of harmony, peace, and sustainability.

Infinite Possiblities

Wow! Wow! Wow! This universe is such a beatiful peace (yes, punnfully placed) of orchestrated possibilities. When you are working for the betterment of the whole, it's like the sky's open up. I was seeing a vision of a KeysWide EcoWeek, but putting it off until 2011 because of it's magnitude (or my preception creating this feeling of magnitude). I am humming at incredible frequencies that are close to uphoria, total bliss, complacent, happiness. I feel my thoughts, my words and my deeds playing out before me. It's like I am watching a movie and in perfect harmony I coast from one scene to another as everyone co-mingles and co-creates together. There are many wonderful people on this planet that love this planet and want to help heal her. We heal ourselves in the process! Being able to work together for the common good of the whole. EcoWeek 2010 Florida Keys. We launch our kick-off party on Wednesday night in the Upper Keys at 6:30 at Amoray Dive Resort, www.amoray.com. There are limited spaces, so you must email to ecoweek2010@comcast.net to reserve your spot! On Thursday night we hope to be at LeighAnn's Coffee House for the Middle Keys and Friday night we are in Key West at Help Yourself, www.helpyourselffoods.com for the Lower Keys Kick Off! We have two weeks to pull our ideas, our community and our evvironmental passions together and put it on paper for the TDC. All 5 of our District Advisory Councils will have the application to consider. We want to make special thanks to Richard Stewart of Ocean Realm Media, www.oceanrealmjournal.com and EcoGuides, www.ecoguides.info, and for bringing here the EcoGuide Florida Keys. Without your presence, these chain of events would not have come to be. Each one of us are a catalyst. We are co-creating together. When we are true to ourselves and to this planet, we are in harmony. Harmony is a state of being. "Outer peace is an Inside Job", Kelly Hostetler, www.spiritdanceart.com. Kelly has created this amazing logo for EcoWeek. We are unveiling it tomorrow night. He is sooo talented! He is an amazing painter, philsopher and writer, and he does phenomenal things with photoshop. I am happy that he is being involved and wants to be! Not just because he is there by default. He believes as I believe so we share a common vision of peace, harmony, sustainablity and higher consciousness. It is nice to have a partner that is on the same frequency.

Tomorrow is a new day with infinite possibilites unfolding before me. I am going with the flow, following my instincts and staying true to myself. What a fun ride!

The planning process

Michele and I are working....working?....together tonight on Eco-Week 2010. I am so happy that Michele and I are working together again. We flow together so easily. We really thrive off each other. Inspiration at it's finest. Creativity flowing!!! Go GREEN!!! She is so amazing. I am so lucky to be surrounded by such amazing people. We are even working on making this a Carbon Neutral Event! SO FUN!!!!

I am missing my compost toliet on the boat. We had to give it back to Bob and Jane. It was so cool that they gave us their brand new one to try to see if we liked it or not. I loved it. I bet Kelly loved it more because we went two weeks without having to dump it! Our portapoti we (Kelly...Thank you Kelly) dump it almost two times a week. I miss sitting outside over looking the water and the mangroves, letting my body work through it's cycle. MMMmmmm..........

I am speaking tomorrow night at Keys to Peace Montessori in Tavernier. Eat, Move and Be Healthy. This is based on my training as a CHEK certified Nutrition and Holistic Lifestyle Coach. www.chekinstitute.com. Learning how to lose weight and be healthy easily, and supporting a healthy environment all at once!

To be that easy

Can it really be that easy? Can life just unfold and be in harmony? Yes. When we allow it. It sounds so easy to do, but how often do we mind f**k ourselves? Kelly just wrote a poem about it being that easy. As he is learning through himself, and I am learning through myself, we are learning together about what works for us and how it works and the ways that we make it "uneasy" and then the ways that we make it easy. I like the easy way. I like things to flow. If something isn't flowing smoothly, then something has to change. I am going for an attitude adjustment right now. Off to the floating house to take a mid-day nap, or maybe a swim. We'll see what the universe has in store for me!

Always changing

There is one thing that is constant...that there is always change. Forever is a very strong word. I am realizing that you cannot be attached to a concept or belief of something being forever. When you have that attachment, that means you are holding on to something that may not be there and you may be forcing or trying to control the hands of destiny. The Universe has it's plan for us and we may be able to influence that plan with intention, but you are not the only player in your destiny. Others in your existence may have a different path and you just may be a pawn in their journey. One thing I do know...is that I don't know! I am okay with that. Life is an exciting adventure. You must always make sure that you are following your bliss. Your happiness is your natural state of being. When you are unhappy, something is leading you astray. Find your happiness and you will find your way.

Eco-Week 2010

There are so many amazing things that happen in my life. When everything starts unfolding in front of you, you really have to take a step back, take a deep breath and say, "I am READY!". I am notorious for having a lot going on. I am always every where, being involved in everything. But, what I have really been doing, is just finding out exactly where and what I want to be doing. Right now all the things that I have passions for in my life are coming together and melding together so perfectly that I feel that I am not "working" at all. I am having fun while I am doing it! My desire to promote the importance of our environment has been handed to me on a silver platter with the EcoGuide Florida Keys because this publication is really just a tangible piece of a whole movement. I have been enveloped into this moment and I am pulling together our community for the good of the whole. We are creating EcoWeek 2010, an Annual Celebration of the Environment. This inagural event will bring everyone together to promote and celebrate our beautiful environment and the fun we have in it while being conscious and aware of our actions. We are becoming the Green Model for Florida, and maybe even the rest of the nation. Thank you Universe for your abundance of health, wealth and happiness.

Eco-Guide of the Florida Keys

I have been so fortunate to have met Richard Stewart, Editor of Ocean Realm Eco-Destinations and the publisher of the Eco-Guides. This man is amazing. He has been promoting sustainable eco-tourism to save our planet for many years. He was brought to the keys under the guidance of our Tourist Development Council (thank you TDC and Stacy Mitchell!!!). This printed and online publication educates our locals and our visitors alike on the preciousness of our environment. This guide connects us globally to reach potential visitors and relocators. He also has an online radio show! His business partner Ken, joined Richard and I at the Key Largo Chamber of Commerce luncheon. Ken has an online blog talk radio show on Wednesday at 1pm called Liquid Lounge. He used that time to talk to some of our business owners as to what they are doing to be GREEN!!! YEAH! Support the green movement! Go to http://ecoguides.info/floridakeys.htm to hear the show. That also takes you to the home page of the Eco-Guide Florida Keys where I am now the Regional Publisher. I don't think Richard really knows what he just himself into asking me to be Regional Publisher! He better hang on! ha! ha!

Back in the Saddle

Yes, yes, yes. Back in the saddle again. Blogging away like I have never been gone. Looking at my last entry makes me laugh. Lots has changed since then. Yet, another boyfriend. THIS TIME IS FOREVER!!! I have been looking for mr. right for me. Mr Senstive. Mr. easy to communicate his feelings. Mr. Trustworthy. Mr. Spirituality. Mr. Adventurer. Mr. Mom (yes, must want kids and wouldn't mind being at home with them!). Mr. Christi supporter. Mr. Community supporter. Mr. Athlete. Mr. Healthy. Mr. Compassionate. Mr. Teacher and Mr. Student. Okay, I hear you. Do I really need ALL those Misters? NOOOOOO.....because I have found all of that rolled up into one. Kelly Hostetler of Spirit Dance Art is an amazing creature with so much love, compassion, and talent. Finding someone who speaks your language and shares the same visions, understandings and lifestyle habits is such a wonderful blessing. I am truely blessed.

Blessed is an understatement! I live on a boat now. Talk about learning about CONSERVATION! I am living my dream of being GREEN!!! Solar panels, wind generator, harvesting rain water, and more to come! We are looking into getting a compost toliet! I will keep you posted on how that goes!

I am in a very happy and healthy relationship. Kelly hasn't eaten red meat in over 30 years. Dairy is VERY low on the list of foods that he eats. He doesn't have a taste for alcohol so much any more. He is a healthy eater filling himself with loads of fruits and vegetables. For someone at 55 years of age, he is in better shape than I have seen men 30 years younger. I look better because of it too! His lifestyle makes it easier for me to stay lean. No bottles of wine at night with dinner. No heavy meals with read meat and dairy. I have been told that I look as lean as when I was bodybuilding! I have lost 8 pounds in the last 6 months. My last relationship had much different (completely opposite) eating habits. It didn't take long for the extra fat to creep over my muscle structure because of all the excess toxins running through me.

Every relationship that you are in, whether its a friend, co-worker, associate, mother, father, brother or lover, you learn from each other. These relationships are mirrors of ourselves. The mirror that I am looking into makes me smile. Damn, I look good! And I feel good too!!! My Nutrition and Holistic Lifestyle Coaching has been helping many others look and feel their best too. I love sharing the love!

Stay tuned for more coming soon!
