Holy crap! I found it!
OK, so my center kicked in on Monday. I mean seriously. I was in the midst of painting my bedroom wall, and I just felt it there. BOOM. "Hi, I'm your center. You can now move freely about the Universe, easily, and without tension or struggle. Good then. Now go about your business."
Right.
I keep falling over. Getting balance is a tricky thing, I'm finding. In order to really live in balance, movement must truly originate from the center to facilitate the flexibility needed to maintain said balance. And maintaining balance while in motion is an exercise that I'm definitely digging already.
Here's to week one of my Kamming time. My apartment is beautifying, Dee's DVD cover is off the kabob, and Ostrich is on deck. Fuck yeah.
Love!!

Have you seen my center?
I just got back from a half hour trot around west hollywood. Damn, it felt good. I'm officially off work for two weeks, and now that the time off has begun, I've been fully hit with how much I need this time.
The last four years have been saturated with Yoga, and changing, and figuring shit out, and letting shit go, and mostly just getting solid with who I am. But then I reached this point where I felt as if the entire life I'd built was based on a version of me that wasn't really me now, but was me in survival mode. Thus, complete flailing and imbalance all over again. There are surely aspects of the first me's productivity that I'm very thankful for, but there are surely aspects of the first me that are gone. So I was left with this mingling of two of me, from two different time periods. The fusion of the two mes has caused me to be totally volatile and unstable... not to mention the election results and accepting that there's another four years of idiocy in the White House.
So, yesterday at 5pm when my time off officially began, I just started bawling. Total happiness that I can dedicate two weeks to regaining my center. To finding the rest of the me that has been supressed by me, and others... to letting go of reaction to people's reactions...
Plus, I can finally finish watching Alias Season 3!
Here's to Kamming, for real.

Dammit...
Ok, so not only did Bush get re-elected, but migraines are attacking. Coincidence?

Election Day
So I just got home from voting. I walked up to my polling place ten minutes before the polls opened, and got right in and out. Beautiful. Now it's just waiting. Guh. I must say I'm more than a little terrified at the outcome of this election. And I must also say that electoral-vote.com is just hypnotic. I can't stop checking it, like every three minutes.
In other news, I'm taking a two week break from work, simply for myself. I'm taking off the week before and of Thanksgiving, so that I can do my own work for a change. I'm going to do the illustrations for the fabulous Ostrich book, plus I hope to get kamiam.com out of BETA and finally the solid real deal... and I want to sleep, and Yoga, and possibly turn off my phone. Two weeks for ME and only me. Selfish, yes, but also very needed due to the past 13 years of doing work for everyone BUT me.
So it's about 7:26 and I technically don't need to go into the office yet, so I think I'll take a nice hot bath to combat the compiling stress of election day early.
Here's to hoping that America gets its shit together and boots out the self-rightous, arrogant asshole.
