Giving birth...my body was merely the vessel. I had to learn to let go and let my body know what it knew how to do, and give it credit for that. It's really amazing, the body has this encoded wisdom, and birth is such a miraculous process...better handled by letting it "happen" rather than trying to control every detail.

Honestly...ballet. I took ballet classes for all of my childhood and into my late teens. Ballet taught me to be aware of my body, and to be aware of the spirit that moves it.

I had my first reiki attunement this last Saturday. I have tried to articulate to a few people how I feel about it...but I can't...I'm stuck. The experience was amazing, but I can't seem to describe it any further. I am feeling as if there is an important piece missing, maybe something I am yet to understand...

The 2008 presidential elections...I've been volunteering on the Obama campaign because I have a great deal of hope that he is the best person to lead our country. But I also have great respect for Hilary Rodham Clinton so if Obama does not get the nomination, I will be happy to have our first female nominee. I think the U.S. is primed for change. At this point in our history we can make a big difference if we all work together to aid the poor in our country, to start fixing the environmental mess, and to improve the futures of our children. Obama has been on my mind, I believe he will be the catalyst for important change.

Getting up early to walk to elementary school in the winter...splashing in my moon boots across the busy street, watching the slush turn black from the passing cars.

I remember sitting on the kitchen floor cutting out magazine pictures and pasting them to a cardboard box that I had turned into a dollhouse, and my Dzia-dzia (Grandpa) came over to have coffee with my parents and brought me some candy. I think I was four years old because I remember my Mom holding my brother who was a baby at the time. I don't know why that particular memory sticks out as the earliest I can remember. It's always been a comforting one.

Now. My life is far from perfect, but I feel I am on the path I am supposed to be on. This gives me peace.

For a long time, I resisted any kind of change (except for my hair color. lol). I had to learn (and am still learning) to not grow too attached to outcomes.

There are so many things that, had I learned them earlier, my life would have been much easier. However, I have to believe that all lessons came at a time and place that I needed them most. If there is one thing I wish I would have learned earlier, it's the fact that my parents are not the enemies I made them out to be when I was a teenager and young adult. I have a close relationship to them now, but I took them for granted for many years and assumed that they just didn't "get" me. Years later I've gained perspective and an understanding of who THEY are as people, not just as parents. Turns out they understood me more than I thought...
