hello, livejournal, how have you been?
I am glad that year is over. 2013 for me can easily be split up into two sections, post break up and pre break up.
The two thirds of the year had a lot of fun and highlights like featuring at Versefest in Ottawa and visiting and performing in Paris and Barcelona. I had the most successful year of my life in regards to work. I got some more voice-work gigs, I did some freelance audition production gigs, and the Fringe Festival show went really well. The
last third was basically spent recovering from the break up and doing a lot of deep soul searching.
The end of the Fringe Festival show and the break up happened close to the same time so once they were both over I was reeling a bit. I am much less sad now that I was just those three and a half months ago. Getting things into perspective can do that.
It was easily the best relationship I have ever been in and it's also the best break up I have experienced. We talk a lot and remain very close. She is now in Zurich, Switzerland pursuing her passion(s) and exploring deep mysteries from her past and doing what needs to be done around those things.
I miss her and being in a relationship especially because it was so much fun and we spent so much time together.
I didn't do a lot of writing during that time other than journaling. I just can't write when I am depressed. Thankfully that worm has turned and I am feeling more open every day and writing a bit more.
2014 is looking really busy right now. It looks like I will be involved with at least 4 poetry festivals and maybe one clown festival. I have a tour of Arizona booked for late March and early April and I have a few feature gigs coming up too.
I had a tarot reading done last night at a New Year's house party and basically it said the foundation has been set, things look good, I am in a solid place right now to try new things. Lots of cups and wands and only one of the "big" cards and that was temperance.
There are some core emotional things, I need to deal with and have been dealing with and I feel like I am close to being ready to dive really deep and get a handle on all the shit that has stemmed from being abused. I want to stop feeling like I am damaged goods and I want to stop living that way. At times I shake my head at how I'm almost 50 and sometimes, I still feel like a lost little boy. But then I take a look around and I also see I have accomplished a lot and when I set my mind and soul in alignment, I actually am pretty good at it.
The year of the snake is coming to an end. A lot of skin shedding has happened and it's time to grow into this new body with grace and compassion. I want to be more loving and to be loved. I want to be even more successful in 2014 and in doing so, I can hopefully help out others with that success too. I want to keep my heart open and love, love, love.
Thanks for still being here LJ.
