Who are you?!
Below are some excerpts from orangemoonhoneydew’s blog. She wrote these nearly 5 years ago, but they echo an experience I had recently.
Have you ever had an eye-opening conversation with someone that made you look at them in a totally different light? This happened to me today. I went to the second meeting of my support group. Unbeknownst to me, someone I knew from the summer program I...

I can’t wait for this month to be over. I can’t wait for this semester to be over. I can’t wait for this year to be over. I can’t wait until this life is over.
Am I 24 yet? Am I a registered psychologist yet? Are my grandkids in high school yet? Are we in heaven yet?
Just wishing my life away. No big deal.

I blindly trust all these people, and will continue to do so, until...

There are few things in the world that anger me more than unfounded fear. If you have no real cause to be afraid, there is no reason why you should be. If you can’t give me at least one reason for your fearfulness, then your fear is unfounded and should be dismissed.
In other cases, people are afraid of what they don’t know. Is fear of the unknown worse than unfounded fear? I suppose...

2012 Goals
Do more yoga. How is it that I work at a yoga studio and I barely practice? The classes cost me nothing, so there’s really no excuse for me not to go. For Christmas ‘11, I gifted 3 of my friends a month of unlimited yoga at my studio, so hopefully going with them will kick off a good habit that sticks. SMART specification: At least 4 times a month.
Get out of debt. Every kind of debt....
