It was more like getting rid of all the pics I hate, those of myself…more of others. I guess it was kind of like a cleansing.

How I did it
It made me
airy 
How I did it: Once you start thinking how shitty life and your circumstances are, they begin piling up on your head and spinning you down and out of control. Spiraling down, you can see the bottom. Close your eyes and keep going, or don't. Open your eyes and look up and around you; there are two sides to every coin. There is beauty, love, and truth all around us, all the time. We don't notice it because we are too wrapped up in our own thoughts. Take t… Read how I did it…

sober 
How I did it: This goes along with my goal of "staying sober", but I did quit drinking on Jan. 1, 2009 and haven't touched the stuff since. I quit because I saw my use of alcohol was creating a pattern of suffering and self-abuse in my life, so much so that I'd begun to attract abusive people and situations.

6 months ago
I want my brother to look up to me. I want my parents and relatives to respect me. I want to be an exemplery massage therapist adherant to ethics and a code of conduct that will help my clients always feel safe with me and in good hands (pun. :))
I want to be a good example to my partner; don’t get down on myself, don’t avoid social situation, don’t wallow in self-pity, don’t badmouth others or maliciously gossip, pick up after myself and keep our home clean, be kind to myself, be honest and up-front about my wants, needs, and feelings. Don’t want much, do I? ;)
