old journal i found, before transformation

i feel like i am trying to make him someone that he's not. i need to be ok with whatever happens. i love him and if he's not the one, then i need to be ok with it. i need to feel like i am a special girl - whoever's my mate will be there for me. i will be taken care of. if this is not the relationship then things will work out. it's not the end of the world - i need affection, i need to hear "i love you" to me, these are important because it shows what's on your mind. and it's pleasant to be in love. i guess today i feel a bit of hope.

shedding the hull

i love the seeds and the seeds love me
i love the seeds and the seeds love me

earth surrounds the roots
the roots run deep
a fairy for your tooth
growing in the reach

growing in the reach

growing in the reach

i love the seeds and the seeds love me
i love the seeds and the seeds love me
i know that bird and that bird knows me
i love the seeds and the seeds love me

Anyway

Just wanted to share this brilliant quote with you guys -- i heard it at my yoga class tonight and it was EXACTLY what i needed to hear! Love, heather

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.  Forgive them anyway.

            If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.  Be kind anyway.

            If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.  Succeed anyway.

           If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.  Be honest and sincere anyway.

            What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.  Create anyway.

            If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.  Be happy anyway.

            The good you do today, will often be forgotten.  Do good anyway.

         Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.  Give your best anyway.

         In the final analysis, it is between you and God.  It was never between you and them anyway.

Deceiving the peeps...

The finest text on this package of Peeps reads…

Diabetics: This product may
be useful in your diet on the
advice of a physician.

What physician would advise such an empty food to a patient s/he cares for and about? Contrast this with the work of Gabriel Cousens on curing diabetes.

Vagina Warriors

http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/64

This link is a great TED talk by Eve Ensler. It's about a woman's determination to help women heal and connect to an essential body part that has been devalued: the vagina. It's a beautiful story about how one woman affects many and seeing the transformation that has helped gain our rights back as the powerful woman warrior that we are.

"When we give in the world what we want the most, we heal the broken part inside each of us" - Eve Ensler

The Waterpod Project

This excites the crap out of me! Leaving me feel so clean and invigorated! The passion was re-ignited when I passed the 79th Street Boat Basin last night. And then passion grew strong when my friend sent me this link today. Coincidence? I think not. This is a lifestyle of living that I want to live. No more apartments...disconnected from the ground, high up in the sky. No more chasing the sunlight, running from the buildings shadows. The waters current is an energy that is unfathomably ever going. It's what we are made up of. It's where we come from. Connected through this current is so strong and building community like this amongst the raw lifestyle just seems to meld effortlessly, no emulsifying agent needed. Please take a look to gather more of an idea of me and where I come from, what excites me! Seriously, no joke.
