My first blog, my first post.

This is my first attempt at creating a blog. My manager (who is totally awesome, btw) has encouraged me to do quite a few things in the past few months that we have been working together, and this is one of them. I think it might be a nice way for me to express and share things that are on my mind and are literally nagging at me for a way to express themselves through some form other than circling around and around and around inside my head. Basically, I need some form of RELEASE. Kind of like this...

Craving learning and connection

Image
I have a renewed sense of energy around my yoga practice, and I am eager for learning. I find myself searching the internet for the right kind of content I need to consume. I am looking for books and inspiration, and I want to learn things from anatomy to philosophy to peoples' personal experiences. I find myself gravitating towards some familiar names, like Jason Crandell, who has a great blog and whose wife has an excellent podcast. But I find myself searching for more. I want to read and listen to something compelling, something I can attune to daily for inspiration to motivate me to get on the mat and learn something new. How can I get this information on the daily? I crave blogs, information, podcasts, and an easy way to find workshops in my area. I find it surprising that I haven't found any new moon / full moon / women's' gatherings in my area. I'm disappointed to find that I need to travel all the way to San Francisco to find the connection, gathering, and e...

A Year of Writing #2: Work

 This week's prompt is all about work. It always feels like such a heavy topic. There are so many ideals out there about finding your dream job, doing what you're passionate about, making lots of  money. So many ideas and emotions surround the topic. I have a deep need to find a sense of security. This is why I chose Business as a major, why I decided to pursue my MBA, why I gravitate towards larger Fortune 500 companies, because I knew these things would provide me with a sense of financial stability.  But, there's the other part of me that always wonders what my life would be like if I chose to pursue a career in a field that really interested me. What would that even look like?

A Year of Writing

 I came across a course entitled "A Year of Writing to Uncover Your Authentic Self." I decided to give it a try -- it's a program that sends a writing prompt every week for a year. I figured it was time to start writing digitally again. I've been on a journey to declutter recently, and I want to move away from the paper journals. Maybe digital isn't a better option -- I find that reading through all of my old journals tend to bring up weird feelings. I write a lot when I'm upset or stressed, so a lot of my writing isn't fun to re-read. But, I figure it will be cathartic in the meantime. It always helps me to get my feelings out on paper. I like to write, and I do know there is something to be said about handwriting things down, but I need to trim down my belongings. I'm tired of carrying so many things with me every time I move somewhere new. I want to become a true minimalist, but it's going to take some time and effort if I actually ever make it....
