Today is the last day of the semester! Wahooo! I turned in a 17-page paper yesterday and have another due on Tuesday and then I am free for a month! I can't wait -- I have so many plans for myself -- one of which is beginning classes at Richard Freeman's "Yoga Workshop." Very excited about that.
Today is also my last day of teaching, which is sort of bittersweet really. I'm glad to not have to read ahead and I won't have to listen to students complain about failing when they're not even coming to class -- but yet, there's always something about the look on a student's face when they've discovered something about themselves that they didn't know was there... very very gratifying to see.
Anyway, I made the most yummy juice this morning (a bit of a tropical twist in the snow, you might say)
very very nice. Although the mango juice likes to stick together somewhat, even in the glass so you have these little suspended gold globs -- the taste is creamy and sweet.
I am also posting (mainly) because I wanted to post this picture, because its about consciousness and therefore ultimately cool.
Have a happy Friday y'all! See you on the flip side!
Well, this is something that we all need to look at: The Story of Stuff. This is something that I am getting better at, but still vastly guilty of, and these are always good things to look at to remind us exactly what level of responsibility are we willing to take for our lives. It seems these days, not much. Which is sad; we have become so complacent and so willing to give away our power. Look at your life, take a deep breath, face the music and then find a new way of relating to yourself, your choices and what you actually want out of life.
Here are some other helpful things to look at today.
6. Come back and tell us about what you have discovered about yourself; we're all in this together. So let's inspire each other, give back, sound the trumpets, and take the plunge... Even if it's scary, even if it's uncomfortable, there is so much we are choosing to be blind to, what else are we sacrificing in the meantime? Love, happiness, a sense of purpose?
7. Have Faith
“When you have come to the edge Of all light that you know And are about to drop off into the darkness Of the unknown, Faith is knowing One of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or You will be taught to fly” -- patrick overton
“To rid ourselves of our shadows - who we are - we must step into either total light or total darkness” -- Jeremy Preston
