connect with people

Salam Kenal!

Our goal at Viamedic, is to connect with people and continue to share our knowledge and learn new things from other people. We want to grow and interact with those around us.

I would like to connect with day-to-day people who regularly I pass by in a bubble while just getting through my day. Talk more and have a conversation and a laugh with strangers instead of the pleasant niceties (thank you, have a good day) that are expected and nothing more. I think this also reinforces being present in life!

Is completely amazing because of this. We’re all connected somehow and it’s amazing to see how.

oh man! If I get a handle on this, I know my dating life will improve. I never get asked out…and I’m pretty good-looking…I know it’s because I don’t know how to draw someone in, engaging them emotionally…

Today is my friend’s birthday, so a bunch of us went out for a little birthday sushi. My friend Ruvi was there. I haven’t seen him since my wedding last year, so it was really nice to catch up and retell our old Burning Man stories again…the five of us sat there for hours, long after we were done eating, and just talked and talked. It was very un-American of us, although I found out when we got home that my husband was very annoyed and had just wanted to be done already…lol…I have some work to do on him. :)

In my city life I feel so disconnected from people. It is no wonder I sometimes feel alone even standing in a crowd. I don’t have any close family, and only a handful of close friends, one of whom is moving away. I need some sort of “tribe” in order to feel there is somewhere I belong in the world. I am currently trying to find a community to get involved in. I might look into some buddhist communities, or join a slow food club, or start a club of my own.

I have been connecting a lot with people those days and it has been very nice, even I am craving a little bit of alone time, because I really feel like doing some creative work but I think I will try and get used to doing it while other people are around. I jsut love meeting new people, hanging out with my new roommates and neighbors, people at work, my theater group…it has been a long time since I’ve felt sooooo good :), I am happy, happy, happy!!!

so, I haven’t posted for a while and I missed this site a lot, however, it was all because my computer crashed and it took some tome to fix it, and then the internet was not working, and, and, and…

funny thing it was all for the best. I spent the last 2 weeks getting to know the new city I live in, and I already made friends with all my neighbors in my building. You know…my computer is not working, can I use yours?... and then we have a drink together? I felt very rested and good and I spent my evenings and weekends talking to real people rather then just staring at my computer. It really was a good lesson for me. I think I should limit my time for computer/internet and it will be a simple solution. Maybe not even spend so much time on 43 things. after all the point is doing the 43 things, not just writing about them, right?
