Satisfaction

I've been feeling exceptionally good for the last few days. I'm not exactly sure why, but I think it has something to do with being (somewhat) on top of things at school, doing yoga, and trying to eat down-home-simple foods (butternut squash anyone?).

When I got back from the Maritimes I had this crazy tension-pain in my shoulders, and some kind of inability to deal with it with yoga. I was avoiding yoga. Finally I went to a class and had lots of feelings of fear of hurting myself and not wanting to sink into the positions (aka letting go). I've been to a few classes in the last weeks and the tension-pain is gone. Last night I was able to sink in/ let go a little more.

Another fun thing is that I feel really good creatively. The project last weekend, the chair I've found, just the general handy-craft vibe is incredibly satisfying. Also though, perhaps it's getting a bit of recognition from other people for my work. A few tuesdays ago I went to a friend's house to remodel her living room with her. It was super fun and she keeps telling me how much she likes it, tells her friends about it, gets compliments, etc etc. We're thinking of tagging up sometimes during her doula gigs. If she recognizes a home in need of some attention, she might give me a call to come help out. That would be super awesome and nice to do.

I'm also still dabbling with the graphic design and thinking about making some kind of website/blog to keep track of all my files and my evolution.

I've made two tentative posters for the colloquium and i'm unsure which I like best.



The one on the left seems to say 'hello, i'm nice and interesting, you should come to this event if you can make it', whereas the right says 'hey, look at me, come to this thing'.

Something about making posters is incredibly satisfying.
