strange remembrances

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

At some point over the course of the last day or so while listening to the new Loreena McKennitt cd, it came to me that about 20 years ago I was headed from the in-processing station to basic training in the Army.

non-attachment

I’d planned to write this entry for quite some time now, but given recent events, it seems appropriate.

cleansing

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

Alright, I’m finally doing it.  I’m not just talking about cleaning stuff out any more, I’ve started doing it.  Today I took everything out of the closet in my office and meditation room.

detox

How many images does that one little word conjure?  Quite a few I imagine, some of which I’m going to talk about here.

a penchant for chaos

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

Let’s get a little housekeeping out of the way first.  I forgot to weigh myself yesterday, so i did it this morning.  wearing nothing, I came in at 193.5, so wearing clothes would have been 196′ish, meaning another 3 pounds lost last week. I have noticed that my clothes seem to be fitting looser lately, at least my pants have, and now I know why.  But that’s not my main topic, so I’ll get on with it.

post clinic wrap up & catch up

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

puzzle pieces

Thursday, November 9th, 2006

Well, the first day of the clinic is over, and all I can say is… wow! Every year I think it couldn’t possibly get any better, and every year it does. This clinic is bit different than the last two I went to, though, because this year I found a couple of new puzzle pieces.

pre-clinic thoughts

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

Tomorrow starts the four day Palmetto Fall Clinic, hosted by the martial arts school I attend. I’m really excited to go, but before I do, I want to say a few things that have been on my mind since the last post. Since I may not have time to post until after the clinic is over on Sunday, I need to get them written down now.

reflections and a perspective shift

Sunday, November 5th, 2006

I was at the monthly Reiki Shares we’re trying to get established, and the first person I worked on was a stranger to me. Nothing unusual about that, I don’t know a good number of the people I work on.
