04-08-09 The world goes round and round!!!

So many things going on! Finally I have money for my seapass sop I can get online more often, but for same VERY annoying and strange reason, my laptop will not log in to facebook! *argh*I WHY???

Things are chnaging here on the ship so much and as usual, I am growing and changing!!! But I think for the better... Send good thoughts for the right outcome!!

Guess what - I am very excited to say that I got an email from my Dad in Hawaii recently and since it has been about 14 years since we last spoke properly I was grateful and excited to receive it!! I hope to build a frienbdship with him and learn some more about my family...

On the personla front, Jerome and I are making it as something like friends and a bit more, butin the long term, the thoughts are that I will be going home alone. He still has my heart, but I do not have his in the way that i would like my long term partner to be... Not that I want him to change I love him justthe way he is, he just doesn;t love me the same way... But I think I am making aminiscule improvement in getting through this... ;)

Where are all my froiends?? Witch?? Vicky??? You know who you all are?? You are supposed to be nagginbg me to stay in touch and keeping me on track??? What happened?? I know I fell off the wagon with the communication when my breakup curveball hit me, but are you all ok???

I am missing you all a tonne, AND I am being pretty good with exercise and food still 57kg, so not up to much given shiup life... Actually plan to lose another 2 as I am teaching classes for our ships Biggest Loser!!! At 6am!!! 6 Days!! It is awesome we are on Day 4 and the class has gone from 11 to 12 to 25 people!! I think they are liking it! woohoo!! I love motivating and inspiring people!!! Yay for opportunities!!

Anyway - it's 36c a minute at the moment for net, so I'm going to run... Here's a quote:

I am working on the practise of living (as well as yoga!)

18-07-2009 Alive, Mentally Well, Physically Recovering! But I love you guys!!

well, i'd dropped off the face of the earth for a minute here, but I was hanging on with all my positivity to the fact that things always happen for a reason, and everything happens exactly the way it should! ;)

I am currently confined to my teeny little cabin all alone, recovering from a very icky bout of not being well... Started feeling rundown on Wednesday morning and I thought it was the flu as one of the other fitness instructors here had been signed off two sea days in the last two weeks, but on Wednesday night after dinner I started being queasy. Thought it was dinner but long story short it was some sort of gastro and I have been signed off for a minimum of 48 hours so as not to pass around my bugs... icky!!!

I feel so excited to be back on board Liberty now, after my hiccup with Jerome, I am determined to stay here and finish out this contract with a bang!!! Gotta inspire people to get their lives in the right place... Come on everyone, Nutrition, Exercise and Detox is the way forward!!! Start now and start somewhere!

Since I became vegan on vacation, I have now lost 10kg back to my long sought after weight of 55kg! Woohoo.. Cardio & Strength fitness needs a bit of an improvement, but I am adding my personal training back in now too, fitting it around the gym hours etc...

Anyway - I guess I better write an update here for my loving friends who are wondering what the hell is going on with this man of mine... Well, I guess that's where we start, he's not my man anymore. We are friends and I think it is best this way, though it hurts and I miss our relationship, he doesn't really love me and I cannot force him too.. He loves me (and it's his words i'll use) like a sister, but that's not what I'm looking for... I am looking for a partner who loves me unconditionally, who is physically attracted to me, who wants to touch me and be with me, but also wants to give me my space to be me. Jerome will give me my space, but he just doesn't have that attraction to me. I can see it and feel it and it leaves me feeling hollow inside as he doesn't realise just how far apart we have grown... Either way,I think I can find what I am looking for at home, but I am in no rush right now, I don't want to go from one person to another, I want to look after me, learn to be stronger alone and then when I am least looking for it - I think I will find my love...

Anyway I have many amazing friends in Australia who I can spend time with and share fun and BBQ's and laughter and yoga, and training, growing and life with and I saw so many of them this last vacation and I am missing them terribly already...

Witch, Vicky, Bwandy, Jeffrey, Judy, Michelle, Chris, and all the rest you make my world at home special and I love you all... I will be home at the end of this contract and I expect to be seeing a tonne of you all!!!

In the mean time, I better train, focus, make some money, inspire some people, do as much yoga and scrapping as I can and be true to myself. It is hard to do here I have discovered as I take onboard other peoples feelings and make myself all worried and worked up, being alone in my cabin this two days has made me realise, I can only look after one person here, that is me, then once I have taken care of number one, I can give my best to others...

So wish me luck, start those emails and messages again (can't log on to facebook at the moment not sure why but will keep trying so don't be sad if I am slow to reply there - email is fastest ms_zane@ii.net)... Why not send me a message telling me how you are doing cos I really do want to know...

29-06-09 I know I'm late...

But i've been making progress... I think I'm going to be fine... Maybe this is the universes way of helping me make a decision that I wasn't able to make myself. If I had of made it myself, it would have been easier, but unfortunately I still feel a lot of love.

I will write more later, but today's few hours off for lunch at Labadee with my copy of Skinny Bitch and my copy of You Can Heal Your Life have made a big difference.

It all in the attitude - which I know, but it is hard to keep remembering when you feel so hurt...

I'll write more later, but I just wanted you all to know I am thanful for all the replies and msg's and contact... Please don't forget to stay in touch and how much I need you...

I need to stand on my own to feet is what I beleive the universe is helping me to understand. Once I can do that I can find someone to share myslef with...

20-06-09 Sunday 2nd Sea Day & Fathers Day!!

Well, lessonof the day! I need to stop being so selfish and start being more considerate of those around me... I totally forgot in my effort notto contact Jerome first and to wait to see how long it would take for him to contact me to realise that today is Fathers Day...

If I WAS to think of that I would have realised he may be down about missing his son in his life... You see I sometimes get so caught up in little things like wanting to be treated extra special or loved more, that other people have their own lives and issues...

If I was a better soul, that would never slip my mind... None the less, I am grateful for the learning today and I am moving forward with my mind focussed on the NOW and loving others in every way!!

I made this for Jerome today for Fathers Day, he is yet to come by and see it, but I hope he likes it!! It was the first thing I ever scrapped on the ship!! WOOHOO!! I am actually sticking to stayingt in touch, not working 3 milion hours and staying true to my serlf and my creativity!!!

This contract wioll make me so strong!!!

Anyway what do you think of my frame layout??? (Sorry about the bad pic quality, no natural light at all in these cabins)!!!

Happy Fathers Day to all my friends out there with little ones.. I hope one day to experience the joy of having my own little bundle.. It is a dream that will never fade forme...

Love to all

20-06-09 I think I am crzy - or going that way!!!

Up down, up down, round and round... What is going on in my world??? I feel like a pretzel on the inside, my emotions are falling apart!! Jerome is neither here nor there, and I just want a partner that loves me more than anything else...

Anyway, gotta stop whinging about that over the Internet!!! Things always happen for a reasion and they always happen exactly the way they should.. Maybe the lesson is that it's about time that I learn to be alone and not so needy for a partner.. Big issue is: I need to be needed. I mean really to be honest the reason I am down today is that my boyfriend hasn't called me or contacted me all day since this morning.. I mean to any normal person that really wouldn't matter... BUT this is ship life, things move fast and different and someone else who likes me has called like 6 times, gone shopping for me, come to the gym to say hi and just been in general a friend...

Argh there I go again, no more on that subject.. It's all happening for a reason...

Anyway, I am heading to bed befrore I get myself upset...

You know what, brain wave - I need more sleep and I think the big issue is I could use quite a few yoga classes and some dedicated exercise like a walk or jog!! Maybe that's what's wrong with me??? Of course it is!!! Hmm off to be now - it's 11.15pm and if I get up at 6am I can get a walk in to make my morning!!!

Woohoo - a plan of action! ilove blogging!!
