Who Do You Love & What Are You Doing About it?

Wow! I LOVE the way this question is framed. I never understood how people could turn love on and off like a switch, so it’s hard for me to just hone in on one person and be like, this is s/he and this is what s/he means to me. I’ve come to realize that love [...]

Do You Ask Enough Questions or Do You Settle for What You Know?

This always depends on the situation, but I probably just settle for what I know most of the time. I tend not to ask enough questions, assuming that I have all the resources I need to see something through. I do have to work on that.

What Do You Wish You Had Spent More Time Doing Five Years Ago?

Saving money and socializing more. Not sure how the two of those could possibly go together – especially in NYC, but I could have saved more money and I could have had a more dynamic social life. These are the only two things I think about the most. Just where did all that money go [...]

What Gets You Excited About Life?

Good food. Sex. A breakthrough. A long sensual kiss. The Sun. The smell of lavender. Chocolate. Any song I can dance to. A deep belly laugh with a friend. Confirmation that I’m on the right path. The endless possibilities.

Who Do You Sometimes Compare Yourself To?

My mother. It’s her voice I hear when I use certain expressions; when I talk about the way certain dishes are supposed to taste, when I think about what she was doing when she was my age. When you’re young, you try very hard to be anything but your parents.  And then you grow up [...]

What’s The Most Sensible Thing You Heard Someone Say?

You are not on anyone else’s schedule. Someone told me this several years ago when I was in that What should I be doing with my life? phase. I had dropped out of art school, I was about to quit whatever job I had at the time, and I was aimless. I had gotten really [...]

When Was the Last Time You Tried Something New?

Does this exercise count? It’s an exercise in writing everyday, even if it’s just for 5 minutes. About a month ago I tried goat milk Kefir in my green smoothies. I can’t like it. A few weeks ago I was experimenting with polyphasic sleep. Things were going fine until the boyfriend spent the night. Now [...]

Asking the Right Questions

The folks over at Marc and Angel Hack Life published a post earlier this month on 365 Thoughtful Questions to Ask Yourself This Year. Part of me thinks this is self-indulgent and a useless first-world attachment, but, what the heck, it’ll make for good reading and encourage me to write more everyday. I’ve decided to [...]

Why Can’t You Just Have a Bad Day?

I was reading a friend’s FB status message the other day and she was venting about the bad week she’d been having. A friend of hers responded by reminding her of the recent Japan tsunami and earthquake (check out how my school is helping the relief efforts) and how it trumped whatever she was going [...]

Monday, WTF

I don’t believe in coincidences, so what is the Universe trying to tell me? I rarely have bad Mondays, and while today wasn’t bad, it certainly had its WTF moments. Twice I told my boyfriend something only to have him repeat it to me in a way that suggested he either wasn’t listening or was [...]

Getting Ready for the New Year

About eight years ago, I stopped recognizing January 1st as the New Year. I was a year into being a serious Kundalini yogini when I decided to take advantage of the center’s Universal Kabbalah courses. I started by reading Lifting the Veil, a book that offers a very practical take on spirituality and personal power [...]
