shinaraz is working on NaNo
How I did it: I've sung the National Anthem of America at several different events, including a Girl Scout awards ceremony and several Military Retirement ceremonies, and even sang it in a trio for an Assumption of Command. Because the National Anthem starts very low and ends very high, I had to lower it an octave in order to reach the highest note at the end since I’m a second soprano. When I sing it by myself, I’ve had several peopl… Read how I did it…
shinaraz is working on NaNo
How I did it: I originally wanted to read the Kama Sutra because of all the hype it gets. A lot of miniature books tote around the title ‘kama sutra’ and are mostly just about sex. This is incredibly misleading, since the Kama Sutra is so much more than just a sex manual; it’s also a social commentary on proper behavior of the time period. If you are interested in the sexual portion, I'd strongly suggest getting an illustrated version… Read how I did it…
MandaP Life is so sweet...it smells different this morning...in a good way:)
How I did it: I called a local dance studio because I've been wanting to take ballet/jazz dance classes for forever and I talked to a lady who said she could help me. I was kindof nervous because I have NO dance experience, but she was so understanding and so sweet. This might sound easy for a lot of people, but for me, if I wasn't 100% sure I could do something perfectly the first time, I wouldn't even consider it. Read how I did it…

How I did it: After university I signed on to Job Seekers benefits (relevant to the UK). I wanted to get into work as quickly as possible though. This was very hard to achieve. I live in an economically deprived area so jobs are very hard to find unless you know the right people.I also have an arts degree so I tend to be instantly laughed out the room if thats mentioned ;)I applied for loads of jobs using local and national websites. This covered … Read how I did it…
I’ve lost 6lbs now, I’m doubtful I’ll get to 21 by the end of the year but that was always going to be an ambitious goal. The most important thing is that I’m continually losing and keeping it off, rather than yo-yoing around up and down. I’m pleased with my progress, well done me :D

DD and I purchased inexpensive midweek ski passes so that we can enjoy “the greatest snow on earth” this winter. Finding a way to like living here was part of my objective. Other benefits will be getting out and enjoying sunshine and exercise in the midst of winter, experiencing the natural beauty of our snowy mountains, and having fun together.
OK, so I’m a massive Project Runway fan and the cherry on the cake of what is generally an ace show anyway, is Tim Gunn. Those in the know will be aware of his catchphrase ‘make it work’, usually uttered when he’s faced with a hot mess of a design.
So I thought I’d take his mantra and use it as a goal for when I’m faced with a hot mess of a situation. This will be a place to maybe rant, get things off my chest, and most importantly, work through how I’m going to make it work.

Live in a small community of light workers
Lightworker ...hmmm — 8 minutes ago
blueskiesmev,
I think you might get a lot of different answers to what a Lightworker is if you asked different people. I ran across the term about ten years ago and it really fit me and what I was doing. I was trained as a Johrei Healer…we use light to purify the human body and can also use this modality to grow stronger crops. I know that very few lightworkers use Johrei so it isn’t required to be a lightworker. Many lightworkers I know equate love with light and are usually into some form of healing…often focusing on healing humanity as a collective or the planet. I find that lighworkers are generally peace loving and very sensitive. Alot of us are out of step with mainstream civilization and are drawn to finding a quiet sanctuary to live in right relationship with others and the Earth and focus on healing.

Found some local mould-ripened unpasteurised farmhouse cheese in the deli. It was slightly cheaper than a return ticket to The Smoke ;)
Also found Freetrade 71% chocolate (a bit sweet but not bad).
Am approaching zero coffee status.
You’re right, Cloudberry: I need to visit a city. Soon.
