check in
Hey all.
Seems like it's been a while since checking in here. posting tiny little blurbs on facebook, consistent writing on my blog, developing a new website, teaching two online courses, flying out to Houston to teach/be Joy, keeping up with my BlackHearted students . . . it's been a busy Autumn! The kids are great. We are just plugging along with homeschooling and my daugher and I are looking into alternatives to the public high school for her. I cannot beleive she is going to high school next year.
I've beaten the caffeine addiction, it's been 7 months since I've smoked or ingested HFCS products, and I have successfully overcome my insomnia problem. I am finding I have new food aversions---not allergies. I am paying attention to what and when my body wants on a deeper level. I need a lot less of some things . . . and much more of others. I've been swimming 2K+ in the pool most days and working out at home and walking the neighborhood most other days. Still not dropping any weight but am noticably stronger and more muscular.
I'm working behind the scenes in developing new venues for my work and ways to make my current work easier and more streamlined. This is exciting!
Then there is the whole love-life front which is too tender to speak of here. And really, once I get started at the smallest provocation I cannot shut up, so it's best not to begin. Believe me, I am sparing you!
My trip to Houston was wonderful. The weekend intensive was . . . . intense! A lot of hard work to draw Joy toward us through the false veils we erect. I was impressed by the level of commitment of the students. Always a pleasure to work with folks who are willing to step up to mirror and honor what's there while embracing change. They were also a lot of fun!
I have been connecting with old friends--people I haven't seen or heard from in years are showing up for intimacy. I've been making new and deep connections which is challenging and joyous. I am re-connecting with home, my place in this landscape, these communities, and the spirits here.
Life is sweet.
