Your True Core!



Deep inside of you, past your epidermis and abdominal muscles, your fibrous tissues and internal organs - somewhere that can't be designated on an anatomy chart - lies the reason that you try as hard as you do.  Though it's not a muscle in the traditional sense, it is nonetheless an entity: a pulsating substance that drives you each and every day, more so than the results you see in the mirror. But striving for a six-pack doesn't make you vain, or narcissistic, or ego-driven: it's an external reflection of the passion and dedication that bubbles out from within. Live it. Breathe it. Show it! You have permission!

It's Hump Day! Well I haven't been as frequent as I would have liked to have been on here in the last few weeks due to the fact that I was job-hunting and getting Milani back into school. It's such a roller-coaster ride trying to find a job. It's crazy how much money is required of a person who has been unemployed for over three years in this country. Everything is super-duper expensive and people just act like, "Well don't you have someone you can call for a few dollars?", to which the answer is a resounding, "NOooooooo!".

Anyhow, my efforts did not go in vain and by the grace of God I found something. It was not exactly what I wanted but it was a job!
