Australia smells amazing right now: warm nights with Star Jasmine, Roses and Orange Flower. You can't bottle this stuff!

Getting It Off My Chest

I am usually careful to be cryptic in my blog posts. I don't want to reveal too much of myself , so I tend to err on the side of optimism and light. Well, right now, I'm in a space in my life where I feel there is power in articulating my anger and dissatisfaction...if only to place it behind me and move forward.
I like lists, so I thought I'd make one.

Reasons I'm Angry:

• I'm angry that my heart was broken.
• I'm angry that I invested in a "we" when I should have been looking out for me.
• I'm angry that I have no fixed address yet.
• I'm angry that my body shut down in the face of stress and anxiety and as a result, my health has been compromised.
• I'm angry I have to commit time and energy and money to healing.

And here's another list: 

• I celebrate my resilience and perseverance.
• I celebrate and am very thankful for my friends...actually... here, they are my family who support and care for me.
• I celebrate the fact that I have two big creative theatrical projects I can dive into.
• I celebrate my teaching job, which gives me joy and provides me with good money.
• I'm thankful for a great Chinese Medicine Doctor.
• I celebrate the lesson of patience.
• I celebrate the potential in my present and my future. I'm calling in good things.
