A Brief Re-Introduction

It's been a really long time since I've posted.

So much has changed in the last 4 years. I've gotten married. I went back to school (again). I've semi-changed careers. I've had a life coach. Life is ever evolving and always changing. I don't feel like I'm  the same Samurai Girl who started this blog. I've grown up a bit more. I'm not as involved in the martial arts, but I've been exposed to all kinds of new activities like rock climbing, canyoning, aerial circus, and more. I would like to start blogging again, but I think in order to continue here the blog needed a bit of an update.

That being said, welcome to Breakfast at Fliffani's! (Ha. Get it? Well, so much for the being grown up part.)

I've been working through Kris Wilder's Musashi Field Manual and reading The Dokkodo. It's great stuff, but it leaves me feeling very introspective and wanting an outlet to share some of the thought processes I've been working through. I plan on posting some of those musings here.

In addition I have been re-focusing on my artwork lately. I have several projects I want to accomplish in the next year or two, so hopefully I'll be able to start posting some artwork and story ideas here.

Thanks for stopping by and I'll post more soon.

Welcome!

Welcome to Samurai Girl's guide to The Martial Arts, Nutrition and Fitness.

Here I would like to share my journey of getting in shape, eating better, and working towards my Black Belt. I have always been fascinated by the Japanese culture. I have dabbled in Japanese and studied Aikijutsu in High School. I will forever be hooked.

This journey began in January a few months after I graduated college. I was tired of being out of shape, eating crap, and I missed the martial arts. I knew something had to change and if I didn't make a life style change now, perhaps I never would. Since January I have started working out working out regularly, eating better, and found a dojo. I'm now learning Shaolin Kempo Karate and feeling better than I've ever felt before. My confidence is going up and I really want to share what I'm going through in hopes what I'm learning can help someone else out there. If I can do it, you can do it!

I will do my best to update once a week, every Sunday. Stay tuned for more!
