Day Fifteen/Sixteen

Hello,

Exciting things are happening. I'm seeing a clear vision of how I want to live. And I am acting on creating my new life. A few wonderful things in the vision, in this particular spot I've learned about, are multiple yoga studios, local buddhist retreat centers, a hip coffeehouse which welcomes performing artists, writers, poets. Several quaint shops, thrift shops, a farmers market, many galleries, mom-and-popbookstores, mountain views, hiking, music festivals, a river, performance spaces, workshops and gatherings for artists.

I see myself buying fresh produce and making goat cheese and beat salads...and maybe even growing my own veggies....do yoga at the base of the mountain with the other yogis...meeting musicians to collaborate with on my projects -- writing a children's album, another jazz album and singin' around, supporting the new people I meet as well.

My home there is peaceful, bright and warm. I cook for new friends, do readings at my place, plays, poetry, prose. I would get on the committee to help brainstorm about maintaining the local vibrance of artist community as well as the local commerce.

Basically....I'd become a citizen. A real person in the world working at achieving a utopian lifestyleor something strikingly similar. It has an Ayn Rand quality about it, this challenge. But, I'm ready remove my spectator clothes in exchange for the cloak of a participator.

Feeling inspired and strong.

Ephemerally Yours,

Michelle

Day Nine

Hello,

Been so busy that I hardly have time to think the negative thoughts I used to think. I plan to take some time this weekend to be still and compose something reflective and heartfelt. Hard to reflect when you're poised so directly forward.

Day Seven

Hello,

It's been a pretty amazing day. I was in Sati tonight and decided that I want to be strong. Physically and Emotionally. Self-reliant. I can be with discipline. This will be the most important commitment I make, the commitment to care about my body. To care about my choices in the way I communicate, with myself and others. And I am grateful for the chance to make such a commitment. Self-love is the choice. I challenge myself to begin all reflections with loving affirmations. I'm not going to talk about how hard it's been or can be. I'm just going to do it and watch the magic happen inside and around me. It's happened for a very dear friend of mine. I have witnessed the results of her commitment to self-love and self-inquiry and have decided to join the club.

I am! I can! I choose! I create! I have! I will! I enjoy! I love!

I forgive myself for my mistakes, my miscommunications. Tomorrow is a new day.


Ephemerally Yours,
