Day 20: Recharging
Today I: Watched a mini course called, “Create Repeating Patterns” with Bonnie Christine and am thinking about purchasing Adobe Illustrator Went to a CorePower Yoga 2 class Had a glass of wine with my sister Read a chapter of Don’t Keep Your Day Job Watched half an episode of The Great British Baking Show Holidays …
Day 19: Another day, another dollar…er, 835 of them
“Terrifying” was the word I used when describing to my husband the experience I had today. Today was day 1 of 3 of the Landmark Forum, which is marketed as being a personal development program (I’m purposefully not going to link here; feel free to Google if you’d like more information). Friday, Saturday and Sunday …
Day 18: A touristy lunch, therapy session, psychic reading and online workshop
I went to San Francisco for lunch today (beautiful views from Fog Harbour Fish House) and met up with a childhood friend I hadn’t seen in years. We went to Pier 39 where the giant Christmas tree was being adorned with hanging bulbs. This afternoon I had my third session with the therapist I started …
Days 16 and 17: The ups and downs of yesterday and today
Yesterday night I made an intentional decision to skip writing a blog post, and instead chose to go to bed at a decent hour. I hadn’t gotten eight, or even seven, hours of sleep in one night in at least ten days, and perhaps relatedly, every day for a while I’ve been getting a headache …
Day 15: Preparing for “Modern Calligraphy 101”
As I type this, I have hair color on my roots, Peter Thomas Roth Lactic Pore Treatment on my face and whitening gel on my teeth. I’m clearly influenced by my society’s beauty ideals, eh? Today I ordered a ton of supplies—the basics, as well as some fun extras—to get started on my Modern Calligraphy …
Day 14: Dear Diary, here are a few, minor, new things I tried today
Family: Took the kids to the movies to see the new animated Addams Family. It was cute, but not one we’ll likely have on repeat. Physical experiment: Tried Zitsticka on two spots over two nights; meh, can’t say I notice a faster healing experience than without. Right now I wouldn’t say it’s worth the $3.60 …
Day 13: Art helps
Today my “Make the rest of your life the best of your life” print arrived in the mail and immediately went in a frame on my mantel. I’ve admired the work of Kelsey, illustrator and creator of Honey and the Hive, for years. She has a sassy, playful, old-school vibe I connect to. This past …
Day 12: Failing means I’m trying (or “Self-help post comin’ at ya”)
It’s been a weird week. Actually, I’m going to rephrase that. I’ve had a couple weird things happen this week, and I’m trying not to ruminate on what I could have done differently to change the outcome. (I like these 8 tips to help stop ruminating.) Around these weird things have been really wonderful things, …
Day 11: Talking is tiring
Per my thought yesterday about not doing yoga and blogging at the end of the day, I woke up early and took the 7:15 CorePower Yoga 2 class this morning. It already feels like this morning was such a long time ago; which leads me to point 2: I’m still writing my blog post at …
