My hairdresser works in the Outer Richmond district. There is usually no easy way to get to him via public transportation, so I usually drive to his salon on Saturdays.
The problem is that he is so busy on Saturdays that the appointment is often rushed. It's also difficult to find parking near the busy shopping district.
This month, I found an express bus by my work that leaves from downtown directly to Outer Richmond. The first stop is only two blocks from the salon! I was so early due to the express bus that I had time to have a snack and to read several articles in a magazine.
On the way home, there wasn't any express bus. Still, I used my Blackberry to time the transfer and was able to get door-to-door just 15 more minutes than driving! It was nice to catch up on emails on the bus.
Now there is one more errand that I don't have to do on the weekends!
I can't imagine not living in a city because I love the concept of public transit.

what is gut?
I have always considered myself intuitive. I've made many major life decisions by trusting my gut.
What is one's gut? It's a conviction that is beyond emotions. It's the core of who we are. Our spirit.
An example of gut is when I was nine years old, I told my parents that I didn't like my school. I literally stopped going to school, and no one could convince me to go. This was while I was living in Asia, so the reason I came to the US was to follow my gut.
How can a child know what's best for herself? I just knew, and fortunately, my parents were very supportive. They found a guardian family for me and helped me relocate to SF. I ended up living with guardians for the first two years of being the US, without my parents. Everything turned out perfectly.
Over the years, I have been honing my intuition. It was my gut that told me to quit one week before a partner died of a heart attack, dissolving my old firm. It was my gut that told me to get my joint degree, and now I am in an office with three other attorneys who share my background. Time and time again, my gut saved me from bad breakups because I always know when it's time to move on.
Lately, my gut has been restless, so I know it's time to grow leaps and bounds again. What is it? I have some ideas. It'll be a great summer to explore the different opportunities...

gratitude
Last night, C and I broke up for good. It was hard because we both wanted it to work but then realized that it was not going to happen.
At first, I was devastated, but then I realized that this relationship helped me see the importance of having a partner in my life.
It made it easier that Maria the energy lady told me that C and I had rocky relationships in four previous lifetimes. Maybe it'll all work out in the next lifetime?
Everything is falling into place in my life, and I just have to be patient in finding the right one to share it with.

feel like a winner
Watching the Olympic trials has been a reminder that I have to keep focused on my dreams.
The women's 100M hurdles was especially encouraging b/c of Lolo Jones' win .
That feeling Jones had when she won is what I strive for.
