The evening news is hard on the soul. So much bad news, so many tragedies jam packed into about 20 minutes of air time. It's difficult to process, emotionally.
My heart goes out to all those people out there who are suffering and who are faced with sudden tragedy.
I think I will actually pray tonight but not for myself, for others. I will be honest...I haven't done that in a while. I empathize/sympathize, etc. but I can't say that I've truly prayed for others, even strangers in a long time.
Tonight is the night.
God bless.

there is no designing of pages or poking or all that other extra stuff that sites like facebook and myspace have.

Half of the 2009 is gone!
Okay...here is the deal. I better get my butt moving because I want to be proud of myself when New Year's Eve rolls around.
I'm going to empty my 401K to pay my balance to my college so that I can release the hold on my record and start applying to grad school. I will have to start from scratch with my savings but its worth it. I don't have the full amount in my 401K but close to it so I should have my balance paid by September. However, you can still chipin the link is on the sidebar.
2ndly, I am enrolling in acting classes in Manhattan. The training center I chose offers a unique approach to acting that I think will be a form of therapy for me. I plan to pay for this in August (basically I am going to be soooooo broke but its okay...its all worth it).
3rd, I lost 10 lbs ONLY this year but at least I lost and didn't gain. I am stepping my game up b/c I don't want to focus on losing weight when 2010 comes along...I am going to do mini detoxes during the weekend and on the weekday, I am staying away from all meat and will eat smaller portions and drink lots of water. I will also jog 1 day per week, its not much but it does make a huge difference.
4th, I have to set aside more money for savings being that I will not have any savings left so I plan to increase the percentage I allot for savings during my paydays.
And finally, I am planning interviews for radio show on blogtalkradio. I've only done 1 show to date and I hope to do a few more before the year is done...I will keep you all posted on that.
NOW TELL ME IF YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH WHAT YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED FOR 2009 SO FAR? IF NOT, WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO TO MAKE THE MOST OF 2009 FOR THE 2ND HALF OF THE YEAR? LET'S TRY TO MOTIVATE EACH OTHER...DON'T LET THE YEAR GO BY WITHOUT "UPGRADING" YOURSELF AND YOUR LIFE!!! LET'S DO THIS.
Until then...

Add me as a friend on FB and follow me on twitter because I will start posting updates that I don't post over here so that you all don't get bored with me...LOL. I'm trying to spice things up, so to speak.
Anyhoo, if you know of any anxiety related forums or communities that I or the other readers of this blog might be interested in, please email me at painfullyshy@rock.com and I'll post it. '
And I want to start posting more Celebrities With Anxiety Disorders like I've done in the past so if you know of any celebs or notable people that I should zero in on, let me know.
Last but not least, I reached out to about 5 authors today in hopes of getting an interview for the BlogTalkRadio show :http://www.blogtalkradio.com/painfullyshy
If you have any ideas or suggestions on people I should reach out to, please email me and I will take your suggestions to heart and act on it.
I really want to get these interviews going b/c this will help all of us to get better and work through our anxieties. All of the authors I've reached out to have a book that I've hilighted on my blog and offer insightful tips and unique perspectives on social anxiety so keep your fingers crossed and pray that they get back to me soon.

I'm, now, testing out Mail To Blogger, which is a method of posting via email. Blogger provides an email address that I can send emails to, if I'm not able to login to my account and post the traditional way...and from there my email message will become a new post on my blog.
So I'm using this method now to see if it works.

Happy belated Independence Day!!!!
I danced yesterday in my room (oh, I lost 10 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). Trying to lose more weight so the dancing was good for my waistline and my mental clarity!!
Hope all is well. I am still working on getting interviews for my blogtalkradio show. I haven't checked my email (painfullyshy@rock.com) in ages...so I'm about to check it right now and maybe I'll have an interview lined up soon!!
Love you all and remember you have many opportunites as an American that you do not have in other countries, so live your life, take advantage of the resources around you, give back and use your life to be the best YOU you can be!!
Until then...
