I think ever since I took that flying trapeze class I am now obsessed with doing this! I’ve been researching how to get into it and there really is no place around where I live to take any sort of class. I would like to learn aerial arts like silks, spanish web, and static trapeze along with flying trapeze. I don’t know why I didn’t do any of this earlier in my life. I took dance for so long and was into gymnastics and the trampoline. I almost took a circus class at FSU when I attended and now I’m mad I didn’t. Ah…you live and learn…no time to look back. This is a goal I want to start very soon, if only I knew where to begin! 14 months ago
How I did it: I found a placed in the NYC area to take the class at and got my friend to go with me. We felt alittle nervous so stopped off at a bar for some shots before. Then made our way to the Circus Warehouse. Once there we stretched first, then were taught the basics. Most of the class we were with were already at an advanced level, but it didn't matter cause it was a multi-level class. We all did a few rounds of jumping off and following the instuctors calls. We also got to do a flip off into the net after each round. Then we watched as the others did catches and so forth. It was pretty fun. I think I want to join the circus now Read how I did it… 14 months ago

I think in the long run it will really be beneficial! I read your entries about meditation. I think longer time for less days a week is a good approach you have. I may have to try that once I finish my 21 Day Challenge if I don’t keep the 15 minutes up everyday. 16 months ago
So I’ve been doing the 21 Yoga Journal Challenge so far and have started a 15 meditation practice. So far I’ve gone about 10 days. I listened to 2 guided meditations and on the rest of the days just tried keeping my mind focued on the breath. I’m having a really hard time with this goal, but am hoping to keep it up. It’s not so much the 15 of time, that goes by fast; It’s the thoughts swirling around so much, the sounds I hear, and the physical pain I start feeling after sitting. I get so distracted! I’ll keep it up though, I enjoy it. It makes me really take notice of the present. 16 months ago
I hear ya. I’ve encountered this often and it is hard to deflect negativity and rise above. It seems people like to point out the flaws in others, possibly to make themselves feel better. You just never know what another person is going through though and I really believe compassion for others is essential for a better world. Maybe the positive talk will rub off on the bullshiters and make them consider their actions. Even if it doesn’t, you will feel a lot better. 16 months ago
How I did it: I've been struggling with this off and on for a while. Since I've gotten into yoga more I decided it's time to stick with it. I was starting to feel the effects of it or at least in my mind it seems like it, so about 3 months ago I quit cold turkey. No patches, medicines, gum, or anything. I think this may not work for everyone, but for me I wanted to just cut the cord with the addiction rather than taper off slowly. Read how I did it… 19 months ago

Great idea! 22 months ago
Back on this goal. Today I am on my ninth day of smoke free living. It’s been really hard trying to quit this time. I just decided pretty randomly that last Wed. when I woke up I wouldn’t have one and have just kept going. I had some bad physical withdrawls this time…especially headaches, but that has seemed to pass. Now it’s more mental than anything. I have been really tested this past week though by going out with smoker friends to bars and such. Many times I felt I was going to cave in, but I haven’t yet. I keep waiting for when I will. Last week I was mentally not positive about the whole go at quitting. But since I’ve been able to go a week I’m finding that I really enjoy this inner strength in me I didn’t know I had. That is what is keeping me going and it’s almost like that feeling of “I keep waiting” is being replaced by “you can do this”. 22 months ago
I know this was posted awhile ago, but have you sold your photobooth or is it still for sale? 22 months ago
