Let me start by apologizing for the time since my last post. I’ve been concentrating more on my jujitsu notebook and trying to get over a sinus infection, which has left little energy or desire to write. Now, on with the post. Lately I’ve been getting some messages from the universe, on a regular basis and some of them are becoming increasingly insistent. Perhaps the most pressing of these is that the universe is asking me to choose the main direction my life will take for some time to come. (more…)

ok, so here we are in the third day of the new year, and I have already broken my first tradition. Many people make a New Year’s resolution, which they fail to achieve and frequently stop working towards between the 2nd and 6th week of the new year.  If it makes it that long.  I haven’t made a new year’s resolution in quite sometime, and typically don’t.  But this year, I decided it would be a good idea. I only made one, and I don’t expect it to be difficult to keep.

My lone resolution is this: this year I’m going to do more things that make me happy.  That’s it.  That’s all.  But I’m not going to doing it in a selfish manner - I’m not talking about hoarding, or give me this, give me that kind of behavior.  I’m thinking more along the lines of spending more Sundays at Riverbanks, working in and on my garden, doing some more writing, hanging out with friends more, that kind of thing.  Investing more time in the people, things, and experiences I enjoy.

So there it is - my  first tradition broken.  This is going to be a year of many broken traditions - and many new ones. Can’t wait to see what happens!

Here I sit, on the first morning of the new year, sipping a mimosa and writing. Over the last few days, I’ve experienced a growing sense that something big is coming my way, something good, but something big. I don’t know what it is, or when it will get here, but I feel like it isn’t far off. Of course, on one hand, I could be completely wrong, and on the other hand, it might already be here. Yes, 2010 might actually be the big thing around the corner.
