Sophie
Hello, my name is Sophie and this is my orange Victoria, a 2002 Yamaha V star 1100 with my friend’s 2003 fat boy (Harley Davidson) 1400.

Riding a motorcycle was always the “one of those days” thing I’d say I would do. Then a man who was like my brother lost his battle to cancer. I brought his motorcycle from the estate and l have been in love ever since.

An Exercise in Movement and Happiness
List 5 songs that make you widly happy. Do not judge what the songs are, simply write them down. Set aside 10 min a week and dance to them. Don’t worry about who might watch you. Move your hips and smile.
Give it a try, and notice how it makes you feel. It’s very difficult to dance and be miserable at the same time.

The power of Self-Compassion
Having compassion starts and ends with having compassion for all those unwanted parts of ourselves, all those imperfections that we don’t even want to look at. Compassion isn’t some kind of self- improvement project or ideal that we’re trying to live up to.
Erica
Hello, I am Erica, as a kid, I always thought motorcycles were so cool from the look of them to how they sounded. The louder the better! My childhood friend had a minibike, and I would always ride on the back, even though my parents told me not to, because it was dangerous but for me, it was like an adrenaline rush! I was the girl that was always hanging out with the boys.
At 23 I started dating a guy with a Harley, after riding on the back with him for a few years he said, you should get your own bike. I thought it would be cool to do, but thought it was a crazy idea. At the age of 27, I had a friend win a motorcycle safety course at our local Harley Davidson dealer. She said you should do it. I don’t have any interest, so I took the class. Figuring it would at least make me a better passenger. I was pretty intimidated my first day of class, being in a class with about 10 guys and 1 other girl. The first night of the class was book work, the part of any class I always struggled with. Before going to the range and getting on a motorcycle, A written test was required to be passed first, I thought great, I’ll never get my license because of the written test, well, I got my test back and I got a 100. I was amazed because I didn’t test well. After spending the entire first day on the range learning the friction zone. I was ready to get on that bike and have some fun. I suddenly wasn’t scared or intimidated. I said to myself these guys aren’t going to be able to keep up. After an amazing weekend taking the class, I passed my road test. Bought my 1st bike, a 2007 Honda shadow 600 VLX. I loved riding with my husband, but after a year my little Honda just couldn’t keep up with my husband and his Harley. Getting into the sport has brought me to some beautiful destinations and I have met some amazing people along the way.

I used to ride on the back of my husband Toms Harley Davidson but nothing like having your own. You see I’m only 5’ tall so reaching the ground isn’t easy (Lol). I love riding this bike. Wish I had bought one long ago,
Book: The Treston Irby story “HIATUS” Life in the 90s R&B Group Hi-Five
Author: Treston Irby
By: Cece Hymes
This book was about Treston Irby’s life. He talks about his life growing up and how he ends up being in the group Hi-Five. His life was a journey he had been through a lot of things growing up into an adult and artist. He talks about how the group broke up and the different stages he went through. The pain, the hustle and the grind.
Everyone has a testimony or story. His story is what celebrities and people in the entertainment world go through. I was glad he was real and told his truth on everything. Sometimes it’s good to get your story out. You may help others that get into the entertainment world.
I can’t wait to read part two of the book and see what’s next. Glad that he continues to still perform as Hi-Five. Also, prayers to the ones that ha” I can’t wait another minute” & “She’s playing hard to get” was some of my favorites.
The 90’s groups and music are classics now. I love R&B music and I hope they continue to make good music now that they’re older and still performing.
Day 26
Q. Something that happened in a hospital.
I had a miscarriage and had to go to the hospital so they can get everything out. They put me to sleep. When I woke up, I felt so cold and so hurt. I always say that was the little boy I always wanted. I was there by myself. I was alone and tired. After I was done, I just told them I was tired, and I stayed there for some hours just laying there. The worst feeling I ever had in the hospital.
