Hugs Shin. Miss you.

I like to do anything between a mile and five miles depending on how I feel and what else I do that day. Normally I do around 2 -3 miles. Just go by what feels right, running is really enjoyable once you learn to relax into it.

I'm already taken but since there's no you and no me maybe I already did. @DrewNows I had never heard that one before!

There's no time but there's also no past to return to. Because there's no time.

Hmm... I'm really interested in this topic but don't have an answer. I'll give you some thoughts that may or may not be accurate though. I believe that anything you put a lot of focus into can transmit power to an object or place. So I don't believe that the crystal has powers in itself but that you can give them powers. Is your lucky underwear really lucky? Or is it psychology? I say your lucky underwear has mystical powers because you do.

I wasn't able to do intermittent fasting with regularity, but it's not the same for women for some reason. I would definitely give it a try. For cooking I only use grassfed butter and macadamia oil. They seem to be best for taking high heat. Too much fruit can make you hungry quickly, try to swap some veggies for your fruits or just add in more veggies anyway. I buy a lot of organic canned (no BPA) green beans so I have veggies ready quick when i need them. Honestly it sounds like you're doing amazing. Try not to get too religious about it, for me controlling what I ate religiously turned into an obsession and wasn't good for my health in the end. it can be a lot of fun though, just don't go too far with it.

@now is forever

I really think that this is an awesome idea.

YES!!! Do it! Do it! Do it! Please?

Hmm, chicken does but I've never tried hawk or eagle. Am I missing out?

But seeing them so relaxed high in the sky riding the air currents is when they are the most beautiful.

"We all live with our lives at stake and we make the best decisions we possibly can given the circumstances we find ourselves in. To look back and regret is to spit in your own face, to throw your life away. It is a fundamental disrespect towards the miracle that is happening right here, every second, just for you. To tell another person that she made a mistake and destroyed her life is blasphemy." I'm going to give you your own advice right back. This is a memory, a story. It's not true.

That's creepy shit, Tsuki.

Just sit back and enjoy the movie. Parts are beautiful and sweet, parts of it are terrifying. I'll share my popcorn with you.

Wow, I hadn't thought of it that way before. A part of me was doing that anyway. The thing about telling stories about our past is that they are always lies, always just stories.

That's probably part of why I was a hermit, but at doctor's appointments or family gatherings people would ask and I hated having to answer. People keep asking me if I "still" do it, constantly. I didn't go to college in order to have the time to live with my parents and not have money pressure while I was learning. Everyone thought that was a huge mistake, and they thought I was just screwing around with something waiting for my husband to graduate college so I could have him support us. Just about the only person who supported me was my dad and he helped me set up the gas safely and fix tools when I needed to and anything I needed. But women liking to do crafts is a huge joke in the US. Crafts are synonymous with worthless and uninteresting. Add to that living in an area where people don't even pay attention to fashion or art. AT all. Practically and poverty is our culture. People like to see something done well and there are still plenty of artsy and wonderful people who supported me, and who i couldn't have done it without. But I always felt that that was the general feeling about it. It was something special to me and I wanted to hide it. Making the beads is really meditative. The flow of the liquid glass, the flame of the torch, the colors, the way the colors become something else entirely while they are being worked with and you have to learn to differentiate shades of orange that will later become a rainbow. You have to learn the chemical reactions between colors and buffer them with other colors if they don't get along and change each other into something else entirely. or you can capitalize on that. I ended up feeling like i was doing production work and had to listen to stuff to keep me busy. That's how I found Leo. I never would have had the time to go deep into this stuff, to listen to The Power of Now on audio if i hadn't chosen this as a job. While in the flow of my work it was like I absorbed the information even better than if I was doing nothing.

Thank you.

This is the one I was trying to find.

And actually I hate talking about what I do because... well...

No I feel sorry that I never put more work into learning more advanced techniques in jewelry making. I just focused on glass. Blamed my kids for it, I couldn't work with the chemicals pregnant/breastfeeding, not having time or focus to learn an extra skill.

I bring such clarity to people. I'm starting to get a big head about it. This is the wizard I made for my carpenter's wife. Cause he's a wizard. Anyway that's what the jewelry looks like, just super simple, sterling silver.

I'm a package deal baby. Take it or leave it.

I don't know, can you tolerate me and my 80's music in your journal?
