(To read part 2, a look ahead to 2012, click here.) Well, 2011, you’ve been one helluva year, haven’t you? *shakes head* I still can’t believe this year even happened. So much of my life changed. I feel like one cycle of my life has ended and a new one has begun. A decade ago, [...]
I’m kind of glad January is almost over. It’s not that it hasn’t been amazing and fabulous. It’s just been…a lot. A lot of scary. A whole helluva lot of stretching. Stretching past fear, past self-imposed limitations, past my ideas of what is possible or not. On December 24th, in “The Crisis is Over” I [...]
I’ve discovered that getting up at 4:30am is actually quite lovely. Jesse’s started a new job at work, working 6:30am morning shifts. Since he has to walk (buses don’t run that early!) he gets up at around 4:30 to be ready in time. I hate waking up alone, so I decided to get up with [...]
I was talking to Jesse last night, about something I can’t even remember, and I said something about how I didn’t feel like I had “it” together, and he responded with: “Well what the heck is “it” anyways?” I just sat there and moved my mouth for a few seconds unintelligently. I couldn’t even think [...]
This weekend, my friend Mary’s production of Footloose finally debuted, after nine long hard months of labor. After nine long months of tears, sleepless nights and lots and lots of sweat, Footloose, Mary’s bouncing baby of a play, finally took to the stage. The play that wasn’t supposed to be If any play was never [...]
Wow. So I am finally sitting down to write this. Do you know what time it was when I first sat down to do this? 7:50am. Do you know what time it is now? 11:26am. Apparently the Universe’s intention this morning was to just run me off my feet – I ended up going downtown [...]
If you know me, you know that one of my least favourite things is to not be in control. Letting go is by far the hardest thing for me to do. I’d rather wrestle a 10 foot croc than attempt to relinquish control. Oddly enough though, that’s what I did all last week. I was [...]
I feel like my life is un-stitching itself, coming apart at the seams. I know that I asked for this, that I asked for change and healing and new life, but seriously? Seriously. This is ridiculous. My life is rearranging itself around me. It’s like the whole damn thing just picked itself up and threw [...]
I’d like to do a little happy jig right now. Would you like to do a happy jig with me? Come on, you know you want to. In the past 2 days, I’ve sold one card and one alpaca drawing. Do you know how completely freaking awesome that is? I’m selling things! People love and [...]
Yesterday, I spoke about how I’m terrified of success, and how much that’s blocking me. Well, after some great advice from some friends, I decided to sit with the fear, and see what it was saying. The answer almost immediately surfaced – my body was scared. Now, obviously this is going to sound a bit [...]
