I'd like to introduce myself as Adrianna Mignano, a leo! i am currently 19 years of age and feel like im 50. I am originally from a small town in Pennsylvania and moved to Clearwater, FL with my mother for her to pursue her career in Kundalini Yoga almost 4 years ago. I have 2 beautiful dogs in which i consider my children, named Max and Caesar. I have 3 little brothers who live back home that i adore and a wonderful Boyfriend that enhances my motivation to become a better person everyday. I am very passionate for nature, plants, animals, nutrition, and yoga. Ever since I moved to Florida i've struggled with a new environment, new people, and new situations. After slowly getting through my junior/senior year as a new student i pushed through and found that it isn't about what anyone thinks of you, or if you stink at basketball, or what you wear. It's about who you are and what you are doing to make yourself a better person for you and for this world. A few months ago while going through a transition in my life i had realized that all the same cycles and traditions don' t have to continue. Just because everyone else around me was doing them doesn't mean i have to or that they are right. I realized how important it  is to  work on myself and find peace within myself to grow and be one with the world. I realized that time is precious  and by loving myself and my surroundings it only brings us all closer and have more gratitude for life in general. I realized that all the processed foods, and easy numbing habits was truly affecting my attitude, drive, motivation and instinct. I realized as days went by, nothing ever changed, everything was stagnant, i felt lost and confused. I continued to push things off, told myself i'd get to it tomorrow,. I went through what i would call, a spiritual awakening. What your mind consumes, is what you create for your future. Focus on what you have and what you want in life, not what you don't have or why everything is so complicated. Stop making excuses for yourself and do yourself a favor and listen to your instincts as they are there to help guide you throughout life. As i go outside now i can appreciate the plants, the air, the ocean, the beautiful life all around me that is living for US. I hope when you read this, it makes you stop for a second and realize that we are all in this together. Finding your purpose and doing what you love everyday is so important, not only for you, but for the people you are affecting around you. Be proactive, every minute counts. You are loved and connected in so many ways with the earth and the people around you. Don't lose sight of that.
