lately

[guitarjane]

Lately, things have been going quite well, and I am so thankful.  Here's some...

I have a new appartment (5 months)

I am pursuing my new career. (teaching)

I am still working at the Mission (Emergency Shelter- overnight)

I am loving being in love! (Cody)

I FINALLY recorded an EP of my songs! ( http://www.myspace.com/irecordedanep )

I am discovering a new freedom. (hope for all)

I am staying connected with friends/family. (coffee dates/movie nights)

I am giving..(could still do more- it feels good.)

I am going to church again. (and liking it)

I am feeling joy and pain. (and allowing myself to recognize these emotions).

I am relieving myself of the obligation to always be "on", and always be liked. (it's impossible)

I am trying to read inspiring things ("The Urban Saint" - Paul Boge, "Jesus wants to save Christians" - Rob Bell)

I want to challenge myself creatively. (write something, cook something, paint something).

I want to go somewhere far from here. (TRIP!)

I want to help someone I do or don't know in a meaningful way.

I want a new hairstyle. (As usual)

I want to make a difference where I am. (no matter where that is)
