  • Follow the feelings – 75/100

    Speechless. Wordless. Thoughtless. Never feeling-less. Emotions rule the land of humanity, the safari of connection. There, no man is exempt. No person is free from the gift of sensing, feeling. Though some attempt to flee it like a curse. Some feel that not feeling is easier. Some think that thinking is more sensible. Some prefer…

  • Rules – 74/100

    I was raised by rules. They were really all I knew. So much so that I didn’t know what I liked, what was important to me, and really, who I was. If I wanted to be X, then I needed to do Y. If I wanted to do A, then I first needed to do…

  • Tickle and delight – 73/100

    It’s been five days since I’ve written anything. Four days since a journal entry I’m not sure what happened. I had been doing well with the challenge, with writing more consistently. And yet, here I am. Even typing on my laptop feels strange, a little foreign. It’s fun, though, like a new activity, almost haha.…

  • Profanity – 72/100

    I used to believe that it was the words that came out of my mouth that made me right or wrong or good or bad. It’s why I refrained from using curse words for most of my life. I cared about right and wrong and good and bad. And then, I would “slip” back during…

  • Remembering me – 71/100

    I read through an old journal post. It was more of a random stream of consciousness inspired by a weekend at my Spiritual Psychology program. I feel a little shy sharing this because it sounds narcissistic. It sounds conceited, self-absorbed, even self-righteous. There’s a voice that says, “Don’t expose your inner thoughts, they might offend…

  • My friend Ashmi – 70/100

    I’m in San Francisco visiting a kindred spirit, a friend that I’ve never met before in person. Her name is Ashmi. We met online through our blogs – I had commented on one of her posts that really resonated with me and she responded a couple weeks later after reading through my blog. Once she…

  • It is all good – 69/100

    A part of me doesn’t want to write. A big part. I didn’t want to write yesterday. And I still don’t feel like writing today. Sometimes the words don’t seem to flow. Like they’re stuck somewhere within. They are surely there. I don’t think they’re waiting or anything, needing my permission to come through. But…

  • Birthday girl – 68/100

    As my birthday nears, I’m feeling more and more sober about festivities and celebrations. I initially wanted to have an open event, perhaps a bonfire, invite everyone and their moms to come out, enjoy the beach, the company, the gathering. That’s usually what I gravitate toward. There’s something about being around people I appreciate, people…

  • What a MF ride – 67/100

    I have been given so much. So so so so so so much. I have been loved much. I have been healed much. I have been set free… much. Hahaha does that even flow? Anyway. I am grateful. It’s the air I breathe, this gratitude. I get to live in this space. I get to…

  • Then Now and now Now – 66/100

    Over the past several years, I’ve gone inside for answers. It was a lot of sifting through thoughts, contemplating, wondering, processing. All of which led to knowing and experiencing peace, freedom, and a deeper sense of Love. I felt there was a lot to understand, a lot to actively pursue. There still is, no doubt.…

  • Welcome to the Mad Tea Party – 64/100

    I saw this on my way home from work. Took me a second to read and comprehend it. When I did, it tickled me. Life really is exactly that sometimes – a mad tea party. Everyone is doing their best the best they know how. Everyone is wanting the best for themselves, in a non-narcissistic…
