The first step is always the hardest part and then comes the consistency. I started today added my first post to my journal. I’m going to try to do this for four weeks to see if I can turn this into a habit. Writing my daily thoughts was always helpful when I did it in the past. It helped me to stay mentally focused, let’s see how it goes this time around.
I had a blast backpacking through Europe! It’s a must do to get out of the US mindset. It’s truly a eye opening experience…
so i’m letting go of sodas today. i can see how it’s tearing up my skin. so water and fresh juice it is or else..bad skin..
so i’m trying to set this one in motion, but i’m having some trouble. it’s hard being that it’s not an automatic reaction. it seems that i don’t know what makes me smile or laugh out loud anymore… maybe i should just do the “thriller dance” until i figure it out.
I have recently started reading and studying the bible a few weeks ago. I’ve started with the New Testament, currently reading Romans. I’m looking forward to Corinthians…
I learned the dance when I was little and the most amazing thing is I still know it. Every time I hear the song, I just do the dance and for some reason I feel really good!!!
Okay I used to do this a while back and people thought I was crazy due to my long pauses and what seemed to be a lack of feeling. I won’t say my issue is I say off the wall things, but there are times when I say too much or I say things that I don’t mean if I’m upset. I believe that when you truly filter your thoughts before you speak you can give off a sense of calmness and warmth that people look for no matter if you’re saying something that seems positive or negative. This is truly an art form that that requires a lot of practice, but well worth it.. because at the end of the day, when you say something people will take much more notice of what you’re saying…
Okay so here’s an important one. I’ve found that reminding myself EVERY day is the way to achieve this goal. It’s a commitment that must be done daily in order to achieve it. So from this day forth…
I love words, both writing them and reading them (especially by way of a page turner). Ever year I commit to reading a certain number of books, yet by year’s end my goal is often left dangling. This year I’ve changed things up. I’ve decided to make a list of books that I’m interested in reading and mark them off when I’m done. The task is finding good reads for my list….any suggestions??
Three years ago I was a vegetarian… well I didn’t consume any meat only fish…I’ve decided to do this for a couple of reasons and it was a very wonderful time in my life, but all of that changed. I won’t go into the details, but I threw my 3 years away and now I feel like it’s time to embark on the journey once again. I don’t think I’ll go vegetarian again, but I want to live/eat healthier. In addition to a more healthy diet, I’ve decided to start an exercise program consisting of running and stretching (yoga). So the saga begins. I don’t like exercising, never really had to because of my weight… But as I get older, I see that healthy living is not only for the outside, I need to take care of the inside…
Okay so I haven’t painted in over three years and I can’t say what happened for sure. I just stopped, wasn’t inspired, became fearful, not really sure. However, I’m now at a point where all those reasons/excuses aren’t good enough anymore. I’m ready to create and express again… the dilemma now is… What will I paint???
So it’s taken me quite a while to consider myself as a self professed writer/poet. I have so much material in which I’ve kept to myself and a bit of which I’ve shared with others. Now I’m at the point where I want to go ahead and actually do something with my work. I’ve selected a few poems already and have started the workings of two stories so far. I hope to complete a selection of stories as well as decide on the peoems in order to begin the process of editing within the 6 months or so.
