Tabula Rasa


(source unknown)

2011 wasn't an easy year for me. There were a lot of false starts, false hopes, and plain old falsities. It is now the time to fold those experiences away and tuck them under the bed. Today I am intoxicated with the infinite possibilities of the year spread before me. I'm a lucky girl, blessed with things like an able body, education, (some) resources, an absence of debt or serious responsibility, and freedom to travel (almost) anywhere in the world with an American passport. All of which I plan on taking full advantage of this year.

Here are some of my ideas for 2012:

1. Be better to my body. I have never needed rock hard abs, but just a little more appreciation and care to the magical machine that keeps me on this planet.

2. Stop waiting for my life to start. Stop fantasizing about working on a farm and just do it. Stop dreaming about seeing all the great art museums of Europe and buy a ticket.


3. Write more. And photograph. And film. And make music. Sing. Dance. Dye fabric. Sew. Paint. Get crafty. More creative output!

4. Open my heart with more ease and more often. Love with less judgement and more empathy.
