I'm doing 16 things
  

How I did it
How to accept myself
It took me
23 years
It made me
peaceful

How I did it: I didn't really do anything but keep going as I had been.  I guess I'd just been trying to make better and better decisions for years.  One day a few days ago I was thinking about how I used to hate everything and realizing I didn't anymore.  I realized it was because I didn't hate myself anymore.  To cut a long, self-involved philosophical discussion (with myself) short, I realized that while I may not love myself yet… Read how I did it…

How to get over writer's block
It took me
500 days
It made me

How I did it: I don't really know, but now I'm sort of working on two stories.  One is just about a legend I've been sort of obsessed with since I was a kid, and one actually came from a dream I had.  So one's fantasy, one's science fiction. Never thought I'd write science fiction, but I guess it's more romance than sci fi.  Actually, never thought I'd write romance either... but that's ok! Read how I did it…

How to finish the mobile
It took me
8 months
It made me
feel accomplished

How I did it: Bought paper mache spheres, painted them white, painted designs in black, wrapped the gold loops attached to the spheres in white thread, attached thread to ceiling... probably more simple than I'd do it next time. Read how I did it…

Places we've taken the kids... 1 month ago

My son and daughter have both been to the west coast and midwest at least a few times (their grandparents live there), and we all went to Myrtle Beach last fall (that’s … haha). We also took my daughter with us when we went to the Mayan Riviera last winter because she was still nursing. Too bad she won’t remember!

I also show my son videos on the internet (love the internet!) of animals, places with lots of cars (haha… he has to have the vehicles… he is a preschooler, after all).

I think I’ve also been working on this goal by teaching my son to respect all life… human, animal, plant, etc. =) When he gets a little older, and when my daughter gets older, also, I’ll teach them that everyone is different, and sometimes very different from one another, but that we love and respect all of them.

Getting rid of some movies... 2 months ago

I’ll list the actual ones later, but we’re just going to give away some of our VHS tapes that we never watch… the group includes Labyrinth. I never got into that movie, even though I kinda wish I could since I generally like movies like that. Maybe it’s cause I didn’t grow up with it, I didn’t ever see it till I was 18, I think.
