Well... There are only two days left, and so I must bid you adieu until then. Meaning you may or may not be able to access this blog until this Sunday, March 18. After then, all this swelling anticipation will be over and you'll finally have answers. Hope to see you then! See you on the other side! ...
Musings
Stuck and Restless
I woke up this morning with a racing mind, trying to keep up, all the while forgetting what I’m supposed to do today, if anything. All I can focus on is everything which needs adjusting, improving, fixing. I need more sleep and need to stop staying up so late. I need a better diet with less carbs and cheese with more fruits and vegetables. I need to be more active and exercise. I’m not getting any younger, and I need to start taking care of myself now. I need to stop being so late to ...
Embrace the Wind
Some of you might have noticed in my earlier post from today I mentioned how the two months have seemed bizarrely busy in a stressful, sometimes painful way. I also realised it’s been a while; I haven’t written as I once did; I’ve been negligent. Thus, I thought I would pause and share some of what’s been making Life seem messy, maybe even a brilliant one. To briefly recap: the new year began; at the end of the month I went out of town (that was an adventure, especially when my car decided to ...
What’s on my Shelf: January-February
This is going to be brief. It’s been a pretty crazy two months, which makes me wonder what the rest of the year will be like… Thus, this unfortunately means I haven’t done nearly as much reading as I’ve wanted. And remember, as always, SPOILERS! Everless by Sara Holland This book enchanted me for a simultaneously brief but lengthened twenty-four hours. The premise of the entire novel is fascinating. In an alternate historical fantasy world, currency is time which through alchemy has ...
The Original Cinderella
Do you know what begins tonight?! Purim! Okay, so I realise some of you may not know what Purim is, which is sad because I think you’re missing out. Purim is first and foremost a Jewish holiday. People describe it as being a cross between Halloween and Mardi Gras, which is somewhat accurate. We dress up in costumes, wear masks, eat these funny-named triangular cookies called Hamantaschen (yum!), and even get ourselves a little tipsy. (Okay, so some of the Rabbis say we should get so ...
My Brilliant Mess
Let me tell you about my day... So I bought a filing cabinet to organise my amassing stacks of papers, trying to be an organised adult. I don't have room for a desk, so it's kind of replacing that piece of furniture I just gave to my sister. It seemed liked a good idea at the time, but I forgot one tiny detail: filing cabinets are usually deep. Very deep. How else would they hold so much junk? Thus, my initial designated location for my new piece became a bit, ...
Valentine Ideals
Yes, my mind is full of musings this morning. It usually is, but I decided to write more of them than usual today. I’m sure none of you need me to remind you what today is: it’s Ash Wednesday! (A-ha, gotcha!) Actually, it’s both Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day, but I’m going to address the latter, not the former as I jokingly indicated. Of course, I don’t really want to. I’m not a fan of the day, nor do I want to be adding to the noise. However, no one knows my perspective, so I might ...
Losing My Punctuality
There’s something about me none of you know, a problem I can’t seem to overcome. I’m late. To everything. Okay, well maybe not everything all the time, but it happens 90% of the time. I even bought a Cinderella t-shirt of her running away from the ball which reads, “Don’t be late” for a caption as an inside joke with myself because I usually am anyway. I know, I know. It’s nothing drastic, but as I was driving to work this morning – late, again – I found myself asking myself why this ...
Announcement: March 18
To begin, let me first admit my consistency with this blog has completely dissolved. (That is, if I ever had any to begin with.) However, there is a reasonable explanation, not merely a lack of discipline. No, it’s not Life’s circumstance distracting me; though, change is always eminent and inevitable. It’s also not a lack of desire either. What is actually a secret, such a well-kept secret I’ve been guarding it for quite some time (try almost 12 years). Only this what shall remain ...
The Greatest is Love
Truth does not equate Belief. Sometimes you can choose to believe in something in spite of the Truth, not because you are denying the Truth, but rather because you know the Truth is not the only reality which could be. Meaning, there is a Truth beyond what already exists, a prolepsis if you will. Often, too often I think, people confuse Truth and Belief, assuming the two to be interchangeable, synonymous aspects like two sides to the same coin. Though Truth usually inspires Belief, Belief ...
