on the move...Santa Fe here i come!

Why is it so hard to slow the mind down, shut out the noise, and trust in the stillness of the next moment?

i am not sure why I am holding on to these things that are merely distractions. It seems like letting go is a bigger mystery than habit. These past months I have let go of more than I am willing to admit, and it feels both good and bad. May we find the strength, courage and wisdom to be free of grasping.

Day 10: Feeling good, real good.

i want to take a moment to acknowledge the birth of two very special beings this week.
Coach Ilg and Ananda and my dearest friend Anne have been gifted with beautiful daughters.

may they know how much they are loved.

please take a moment to look at this:

Day 4: Happy (i won the PDX Magazine contest last night!) light, good in general, no complaints...

Thanks to all you who voted for me!

Day 3: ok i cheated. eating raw fruits and veggies....no coffee, nada. Feelings peaceful and calm and at times anxious; pretty typical day. This could last longer than expected.

Day 2: relaxed, a little sleepy, not too hungry and dam does that coffee smell good!

I am bored stiff without my attachments. Today I started a master cleanse, nothing to eat but lemonade with cayenne, and already I am binging on gum. There is nothing standing between me and my next grasp, only will power and the belief in a higher self. Maybe I will make it the full ten days, or perhaps even just one. Lord knows I can try my best. I have decided to document my feelings throughout this process. Today I wrote: unmotivated, sad, hungry for sweets. Not to mention that I am at work writing this, I feel a little doldrums today. Perhaps that will change into glee and a light happy feeling. I sure hope so, but I am not betting on an easy week. I’m not even counting on an easy afternoon!
