Perspective

Whenever I get sad about weighing 20 pounds less 5 yrs ago: I think about my diet consisting of only water, broccoli, hummus and pita bread; me running up flights of stairs for 8-12 hr shifts, and fainting all over the place like something out of a Jane Austen novel. Live your life ladies, we only have one go at it (that we know for certain)!

and i would understand

"I've loved the stars too fondly to fear the night,"

Try as hard as you may,

Between us

It will never seem right. 

I've been printing pages of circles that were once you and I 

(In my room by this fresh blue moon's light)

Lush green spirals in ivy labyrinths

are between us now,

what lies in the centre was all the hope we wanted. 

Try as we may to call to each other in our secret language,

made for twin spirits

we are lost

in the mists of our unconscious, 

for our speech was too hidden, 

one shrouded pile atop another,

and in our darkness,

neither 

you nor i 

want to be seen. 

she's in me, always with me

 

The theme for me this month is creativity.  

Reconnecting with the person that I dreamed of being as a girl.

Someone might say "the inner goddess"

But I would say just me.

 Without caring constantly about what I perceive people think about me.

I began belly dancing again.

 I used to do this a lot through high school up until a few years ago. 

It's my third week being taught by the beautiful Sabrina Fox.

(look her up if your in SD!)

Tribal Bellydance

This is a form I was never familiar with but am becoming more enchanted by it. 

It so raw, fun and witchy.

Right down my alley. 

It requires a great deal of letting go, and trust in your body, that your body is capable of executing the right moves. 

I find I do better when I just let my body flow and get entranced by the live drumming around me and

my fellow dancing sisters.

I live for my weekends now with my Dancing followed by my voice lessons.

Taught by the amazing Julianna Snapper.

I've come so very far. 

A goal I have for myself would be to have a creative career.

Ultimately a career supported by my creativity/artistry. 

That will take the ultimate self trust, discipline, and flow. 

Baby steps.
