It made me
feel purty

How I did it: I finally had my appointment at the Aveda Academy, and my hair looks great! I was there for one of their special classes where students come from all over the country to learn in NYC. my girl was super sweet from Seattle. She dry cut my hair, which was new and exciting for her, and we got great results! her only problem was that she was a bit timid about cutting at first. but once she got into the swing of things it was great!The other an… Read how I did it…

How to buy some jeans that fit
It took me
3 days
It made me
Delighted

How I did it: Pablo Rocks! Go to Stanton Tailor on Stanton and Orchard NYC People. He made a cheap pair of jeans soooo much better, I'm tall, and when I find jeans that are long enough, they usually don't fit at the waist. Well,it turns out any good tailor can just take in the waist for you no problem. A friend of mine told me she's been doing this for years! I had no idea!

go to yoga once a week (read all 3 entries…)
still doing it :-)

I’ve gone to yoga once a week for the last 3 weeks!!!

Being unemployed is really making it much easier. Plus B goes to Yoga to the People with me and we get Sake and Sushi afterwards, so it’s lot’s of fun:) And it’s really helping me with my meditation and release of negativity and stress.

How many weeks in a row should I go before I declare this sucka done??

take better care of my feet
I'm workin on it

I’ve been giving myself long foot baths, and I bought a pedicure set for my cuticles and nails. I’ve also been treating my nails for a weird fungus problem that has plagued me for years, and filing down my disgusting dry cracked heels.

I haven’t been as good about putting lotion on my feet before bed every night. I will try a little harder with that.

I also want to get the Ped-Egg thingy that’s on TV. I keep hearing good things about that.

I think maybe just a few more weeks to a month before I’m not too ashamed to get a professional pedicure!

Learn how to meditate
meditation podcast

Is really workin for me!!

Well, for the last two days anyways. I’m also reading “A New Earth” by Eckard Tolle which is helping me understand ego and to stop identifying with it. That’s helping me a lot

I still have a ways to go, but I am finding moments of success where I am just aware of my breath, in the moment and at peace. I have more moments of thoughts flitting into my mind. I am getting pretty good about noticing them, acknowledging them, and letting them go instead of following them down a trail of thoughts.

I think this could change my life.
