Let's use this thread as a shout out to voice goals you will accomplish as a way to establish a "public" commitment to personal and/or artistic goals. Sometimes just letting the cat out of the bag can make things happen...
What is one personal goal you will complete?
I will.........

Re: I Will....
Sun, May 18, 2008 - 1:18 AMGet back to dance before the end of the year. Lots of body issues to work out by then ;~).
I think adult ballet/jazz is one of the priorities, as I'm still kind of sick of belly dance at the moment (this comes under the "cat out of the bag").
I will start to paint walls, canvases, my face, whatever needs, or just want painting.
I will be better at keeping up with my friends and improve my diet, candy to fruit etc *snork*.
Oops - it was supposed to be one. I will read more carefully ;~) -

Re: I Will....
Mon, May 19, 2008 - 10:10 AMBecome certified in Pilates
Improve my strength and flexibility
Allow myself to create and dance to my own choreographies without being overly judgmental, analytical or self conscious.
Manage my time better I can fit more dance and creativity in my life, especially since school and work seem to drain so much energy and time from me.
and
Get my damn vibration :) -

Re: I Will....
Wed, May 28, 2008 - 9:04 PMFind myself ............if anything is in there. And when I find her, I will let her dance freely and without boundries, guided only by her soul letting the music take her away. I will not shy away and head towards the bar. I will give in to what my spirit desperatly yearns for . I will let myself free and through dance I will come alive again. I will have to push myself real hard initially but when I find myself and finally dance from my heart, I won't give a damn who is looking or what they are thinking because I will have found happiness. -

Re: I Will....
Fri, May 30, 2008 - 1:14 PMReally beautiful post Kristy...thank you for being so honest and heartfelt. And.....of course there are MANY things inside of you to discover and gain inspiration from. Looking in the mirror, deep into the true essence of yourself can be both frightening and a source of inspiration that nothing else outside of you even come close to. Your desires, passions, vulnerabilities and life experience are all sparks to create something that represents you...the true and deep you.
For any of us being able to find some kind of peace within is a huge step on the road to happiness and luckily through the arts we can play, explore, contemplate and intensify the many aspects of self that continue to unravel and expand upon themselves every moment that our hearts, heads and eyes remain open. The dark side of the same aspect of ourselves that leaves us sensitive and open to create, is that we can almost "over feel" the world around us and within us, so being driven to an emotional crutch is the battle many artists share. It is amazing that you recognized this in your own life and that you chose the ultimate commitment to yourself as an artist in your "I will......" You rock! You have SO much to offer yourself and the community around you....I can't wait to hear what incredible treats you find under the surface......

Fri, May 30, 2008 - 1:22 PMHahaa! You are so fabulous! I can always count on you to let all the cats out of the bag ;) I can't wait to see what manifests out of all of your endeavors.... You are very determined and have tackled many challenging physical barriers with an amazingly positive attitude and still conquered a yoga challenge (!).....so it seems like it is definitely time to do some kamikaze face painting!
Pssst - I am also looking forward to reading some of your writing if you can squeeze it in between the dancing, painting and fruit eating....... :) -

Re: I Will....
Fri, June 6, 2008 - 12:32 PMAudra...you are truly amazing. Not only are you an incredible mother, but you have managed the challenging task of following your dreams both personally and artistically. Your integrity and strength are qualities that are truly a gift that transpires in your movement in the dance and through your interactions with others. I am honored to have met you and I am completely moved by your response. Sometimes it is hard to be a caretaker by nature and have to make the decision that you do not have to take care of another's opinions on who you are. Ultimately we are the only one's who can approve or disapprove of ourselves and our actions..... and that is where the honesty lays.
Florida is beautiful....I am completely in love with the skyscape and ocean. Daydreaming has taken on a whole new dimension for me here! Thanks for asking :)
