eliminate the stuff from my life which doesn't fulfill me spiritually, emotionally or creatively

and I may come back to it. For now I need goals that are more specific and keep me on task.

Time to revist worry. I am worrying too much about things that work themselves out. I realize this, now to put my energy someplace else. It’s a nervous restless energy that transforms itself into worry. I have yet to find a spiritual home here. That would help alot.

The ones where people want to know about your life and what’s going on in grand detail. Toxic. John’s entry reminded me of another Maya Angelou interview I once heard. She referred to these types of conversations as being plucked to death by ducks. The one pluck seems slightly painful, but harmless enough. Until you encounter several of them; being plucked over and over again. Until over time, they have totally drained you, and you have been emotionally plucked to death.

I remember reading Wicked,(or Son of a Witch), thinking, wow, Glenda was a bitch. I have several good bitches in my life. They will not be feeding off my flesh any longer. The duck fairies can go pluck somebody else themselves.

We went through our christmas stuff this year. We got rid of all the ornaments that were not handmade or keepsakes. We also threw away the old artificial tree. Every year, I would look at my tree and think; next year I will have the tree I really want. No more mass produced bland ornaments. We’ll make ornaments throught the year. Neem will love that.

throughout the year. I have already begun. It will be interesting to see how my definition of fulfillment changes over time. Thank you JJS for starting this goal. I know it will serve me well.
