So this year is all about new beginnings for me. I have quite a few things on my new years resolution list. I’m quite excited about it and I think I will be able to achieve my goals with the newly found support I have.

First thing that is on my list is my weight loss goal. I’m 178 right now and have set a goal to be 140 by May. I am using the site www.loseit.com to track my calories and exercising. That is also the site I am using to track my weight loss. My sister and I are members over there and have decided to help each other stay motivated for our weight loss goals. Yay!!! :)

Another goal I have set for myself is to get back into yoga. I used to love doing yoga when I was younger and since I stopped doing it I have really missed it. This also means that in doing this, I am going to start practicing the spiritual side to yoga as well. I am going to start meditating more and trying to become more self aware. Another thing that is truly exciting for me.

While I am trying to achieve these goals I am going to keep track of my progress on this blog for those who are interested to check out. I hope I can give and get perspective from this endeavor.

So I will post some before pics soon so you can sit back and enjoy the progress!

Richard Strauss Death and Transformation

So I’ve been listening to a lot of classical music lately. Love every minute of it. This is a piece that I heard while listening to the radio. I absolutely fell in love with it. There are four movements but I just put up the first one. There are links afterwards to listen to the other movements. Hope you enjoy!

What potions have I drunk of Siren tears,
Distill’d from limbecks foul as hell within,
Applying fears to hopes and hopes to fears, 
Still losing when I saw myself to win!
What wretched errors hath my heart committed,
Whilst it hath thought itself so blessed never!
How have mine eyes out of their spheres been fitted
In the distraction of this madding fever!
O benefit of ill! now I find true
That better is by evil still made better;
And ruin’d love, when it is built anew,
Grows fairer than at first, more strong, far greater.
   So I return rebuked to my content
   And gain by ill thrice more than I have spent.

-William Shakespeare

I’ve been wanting to create a blog for a while, but I have not found a good place to do it. I tried blogger, but no one is on there! So, I came over here to see if I can get one going over here with people who will actually respond. 

So, being a blog, people will wonder about a theme. Well, mine is going to be a bit all over the place. This is going to be me sharing with the world my likes and things that I am passionate about. It’s a discovery of life - mine. I think it is important for a person to know who they are so they can be a functional member of the human race. It’s our job on this earth to help our species to progress, and if we do not know ourselves, how can we help each other? 

I’m sure people will also wonder about the name of this blog. I titled it Hoshi Yume and for those who don’t speak Japanese, it means Star Dream. It sort of reveals a bit about me in the fact that I love stars. When I say love stars, I mean I have many clothes, jewelery and many, many other things of mine that are star themed. So, its my thing that I absolutely love. Also, when I put dream at the end is because I love sleep and dreams. I believe that our dreams reveal much that is blocked by the waking world. I have recently started to keep a dream journal so I can better understand myself and what my subconscious is trying to tell me. I might share a few of those dreams on here, but for the most part they are pretty personal. 

So, I hope you can enjoy discovering life, me and perhaps a bit about yourself. I look forward to talking with you and getting to know you. Thank you so much for the visit!

tumblrbot asked: WHERE WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO VISIT ON YOUR PLANET?

I would most like to visit Japan. I’ve been fascinated by their culture since I was 13 years old. I I love anime, sushi and speaking the language. I wish I could go so badly! It still makes me sad about the tsunami.
