Hello all. I have been feeling like I need to write things down, to update, to celebrate.
Some of you saw my list of things I would like to accomplish this year on FB. If not, here it is:
January - posture training February - "Of Poetry and Protest" read one poem per day out of this anthology March - try a new church every Sunday April - daily yoga May - new tattoo June - finish writing my book July - create one piece of art per week August - practice forgiveness September - leave the country October - do one thing for someone else per day November - no Netflix for one week December - read one book per month
I reserved the right to make revisions, and I will do so. First, rather than associating things with specific months of the year, I'm just making a list of 12 things I want to accomplish.
- Posture training
- Read "Of Poetry and Protest," one poem per day for one month
- Lose 20lbs
- Join a soccer team
- Get a new tattoo
- Finish writing my book
- Create one piece of art per week for one month
- Graduate
- Leave the country
- Do one thing for someone else every day for a month
- No Netflix for one week
- Read one book per month
I'm updating because I have already made a lot of progress on these goals!
-I have been posture training since January. It is slow going, but I'm doing it. -I read "Of Poetry and Protest," and was blown away by the voices of oppression and the way they use their art to speak truth. -I joined a beginners soccer team! -I visited Vancouver in February, and I have trips to Scotland and Spain planned for later this year. -I have read almost 12 books so far this year! I haven't read like this in ages. I hope I can keep it up all year long!
It isn't just exciting that I'm accomplishing goals. The really exciting piece is that I feel good. I feel good for the first time in a long time. I'm healthy - mentally, physically, spiritually. I'm happy.
