After my previous entry, I realized I have not revisited my life list in a year and a half, so it seemed like a good time to do so ( Read more... )

Wow, those dreams really got me writing and thinking. I wrote seven Morning Pages today (usually I write three or fewer) and four of those were typed, and there's still more I want to get down. I'm so pleased to be writing again, and I'm feeling so much more balanced and calm as a result ( Read more... )

This is going to be very stream-of-consciousness.

After a weekend of dance (Ultima Vez x2, and a ball at Powell Library with Bright and Mauricio) I am all excited to try dancing again. I did some research today and found a few possible dance studios in my area, as well as an unexpectedly huge community of capoeiristas in the LA metro, so I'll give ( Read more... )

It occurred to me today, when rereading my entry from 10 April, that I actually have follow-up information to post! Wow! My bright ideas don't always yield results, so this time I am delighted to reveal that I'm actually making the changes I intended.

On feeling subconsciously angry and frustrated, as manifested in the dreams I described last time ( Read more... )

I was reading Body + Soul and they had an article all about life lists, those lists people make of things they'd like to do before they die. I realized I'd never made one of those lists, so I was inspired to try. Here's what I came up with.

You know I wrote a couple of weeks ago that I wasn't going to post many more entries for a while because of my morning pages. Well, when I talked with wanderingapricot about this, she said, "I may just have to look at those morning pages then." That is not a good option (they are A: rambly, and B: so personal as to be probably boring to everyone ( Read more... )

Hi! I haven't been here in a while (fifteen days, to be exact), and now I've only logged in to explain that that may continue. For one thing, my longest stretches of computer time are now at work. I don't want to visit Livejournal while I'm working, but also I don't really want to sit down and type anything once I get home. So logistically it's ( Read more... )

Here's my profound self-generated dilemma of the week ( Read more... )

What inspires me:
-opposition, boundaries (to a degree!)
-new or less-familiar emotions
-needing to work through complicated ideas (these first three are all related)
-excitement
-discussion
-discovering new art that I love, like this

I haven't been all that creative in the past couple of weeks, Valentine aside. A few days ago as I sat down to do ( Read more... )

These days when people ask me, "What do you do?" -- as my yoga teacher did, this morning -- I just tell them about the adult literacy job, because the way I really feel about the question is just too complicated to explain. Any "what do I do" answer feels inadequate unless I also go into the story of what I do not do (namely: grad school), but even ( Read more... )
