I'm doing 17 things
I’m going to congratulate myself more for actually sitting down and doing it. Lately, I’ve been focusing on what I haven’t done instead of feeling good about what I am doing.

I don’t know what I want to write here. It’s difficult to describe how happy I am and how much better I feel. It’s only been three weeks, but Dallas feels like a strange, painful dream. Place does matter. A feeling of belonging to one’s environment matters. There are so many things every day that effect how we feel, it’s important to be in a place that nourishes and comforts us. I think I finally learned my lesson on this one. I probably won’t live in Florida forever, but I will always make the effort to live in a place that I love.
what can I say about this?? It’s been over ten years since I completed it and it was one of the most influential books i’ve read/experienced, it’s a compact life lesson that can make a profound difference in the way one experiences the world,love, and art. It’s hard because it does change your life day by day, but so worth it. Advice to all in the process: Don’t be afraid of your creative self, keep at it, you won’t regret it!!
