It seems the beginning of the year for me adds some pressure to making sure I should be knowing what I want to be doing and what direction to take...if any...
I have been feeling a little lost lately...not sure exactly what it is ...methinks maybe just feeling that some spark or zest for life is somewhat shaded from view...
Iam enjoying tending my garden and the summer's warmth...
Iam needing to step out into the world more...I tend to become hermitlike...going out now and then but liking my home space so much that I dont really have any adults to share my heart with...other than on the phone...or here...
Iam enjoying being a mama though a single one it is very challenging...
I ask for guidance and trust somewhere in this something will reveal itself...
So what's going on in your inner world ?If you would like to share a little or more?Maybe we can learn a little more about each other and empathise with those who's journey's are not flowing with ease and grace and joy right now....many blessings and aroha to you all....

Re: Where are YOU at right now?
Tue, January 15, 2008 - 9:32 AMI feel lost at times too, but it's getting better. I'm really trying to stay grounded and high-spirited as much as possible. The winter here is so dreary it gets really tough. So I've been retreating to my yoga mat more these days which has made a big difference. It's time to stop every once inawhile!

Re: Where are YOU at right now?
Tue, January 15, 2008 - 1:06 PMoh yes greydom abounds here too but you know I think it's great for us to really enter the shadow, the darkness, the uncomfortable feelings and sit with them and do what ever, paint them, express them through dance, catharsis or weeping. To be fully alive let us fear no emotion nor its expression! I have painted my rage and jealousy, written my loneliness, abandonment, alienation, insatiability, passion and joy, sung my silence and softness and am slowly alowing myself to explore sadness and grief too! Let it all move through me I say! Today I was feeling a little flat as i haven't taken a holiday though I've had a month off work I went to yoga and then to a cosy cafe for a late lunch and on a whim had a 2 strong cocktail, met a lovely open warm spirited woman at the next table and we tuned into each other energetically and she asked me to do a reading for her. Wow, did it ever lift and energise me. Sending you love. Glistenz listens to lifes lessons. Burdens lessen as we give them expression. As one of my teachers once said 'There is such strength in vulnerability, such beauty in the shadow..' -

Re: Where are YOU at right now?
Wed, January 16, 2008 - 9:27 AMÉlijah, it's so good to get into that inner space, though, because from there you get to see all the things (attitudes, reactions to situations, insecurities, etc.) you don't really need anymore. Maybe they were useful before (surely they were) but now you can clean all that out and make room for the new ways of going about life that will take you all the places you want to go. Without the isolated introspective time of year, we'd be stuck in the same ol' rut season after season and wondering why nothing every changes... I wish you lots of discovery and inspiration!

Re: Where are YOU at right now?
Wed, January 16, 2008 - 4:48 AMLast year I was in a funky sea of introspection. I spent a year there. This was a good thing. I know who I am, what I'm about in my job, with my self, with my kids. Now I have a funky bunch of new friends, my kids and I are cool together, I'm secure in my job, I have an outlet in music for my emotions, and I'm having fun.
I'm in a good mood, and I realize am and can be responsible for that. It's a good place to be.

Re: Where are YOU at right now?
Wed, January 16, 2008 - 7:18 AMI'm right where I should be. I went through some icky stuff last year that ironed out to everyones advantage....'partly' due to the ability to roll with the punches and place no judgement upon myself or others. That experience has given me the ability to restore, refresh, and trust myself with others.
A good place to be. -

Re: Where are YOU at right now?
Wed, January 16, 2008 - 9:20 AMIntrospection is usually a December sport for me, and by now I'm prioritizing the goals I set as a result of that "inner inventory" and the resulting "out with the old, useless attitudes" to make room for the gifts and attitudes that are going to take me new places this year. Yeah, January usually has a tinge of melancholy for me as everyone retreats from the streets (here in the Northern Hemisphere) to the warmth of their houses and the frequency of gatherings at the holidays is replaced with solitude. So, I try to use it to get my own act together, and this year I've decided to plan a couple of extra gatherings, just to keep the energy flowing somewhat between friends. (I'll have a Brigid "first signs of spring" party on February 2nd -- a Saturday!! woo-hoo!) and a Leap-Day dinner out with friends, I think... both works in progress.)
My running/fitness calendar is shaping up so that I can participate in the races I've chosen for this year
I'm spending some extra time with the mandolin
The garden sits by itself, although I visit it late at night on occasion to listen to the hoot owl
Spring cleaning urges -- I'm going with them coz who knows when *that'll* happen again. LOL
Nice question! Thanks. -

Re: Where are YOU at right now?
Wed, January 16, 2008 - 12:03 PMthankyou all for sharing your worlds/words..is'nt is great to get a peep into each others lives no matter what is going on...the flow ones are uplifiting and the still ones are creating new beginnings...it is all positive...even when it does'nt feel like it...
my daughter and i went swimming in the very warm sea last night and as i walked through the water,i gave thanks..bcos gratitude always connects and focus's on the fullness...makes one really look at what is right in front of them...blessings and cherries.. -

Re: Where are YOU at right now?
Fri, January 18, 2008 - 12:33 AM2007 was a year of hell for me...I lost my big brother, endured my ex leaving me the week after that, after 15 years....poooooff right out the door.
But....blessings in disguise, I'm adore my independence, my ex didn't want me to dance. Not only am I dancing, but I'm getting popular in NYC pretty quick. I've shown this battered City my abilities of passion in dance, coalescing with my healing abilities as a Reiki Master, all rolled into a 6 foot red headed curvey creature of Venus.
The miracle of it all.....my dancing is sacred, pure....even though I have an artificial lumbar spine, blown out by an impact with a truck....I've amazed the doctors, against all odds (I was close to paralyzed) 2008 is my year of "making it" as a bellydancer....I hope heee heeee heeeeeeee. I ignore the pain, as I retrain my body to move like a snake.
I am tickled pink with my new life.
