that what i ask for in relationships is not unreasonable or overly demanding. i often have a tendency to make it my problem if someone cannot meet my needs. i am learning that sometimes people are unable to show up and commit for their own reasons and that it serves no one for me to ask for less.

Knowing that you are heading into a heavy demanding time does NOT prepare you for it. Nothing can stop the exhaustion from shutting you down when you reach that point. I thought if I planned breaks, made time to sit and rejuvenate, and generally prepared myself the heavy demand, I would be able to stave off exhaustion. The body does have its limits - and they are not necessarily what we "think" they are.

That people really do love to get hand-written notes of encouragement. I volunteer for a large organization whose mission is to provide trained volunteers to the community. To fulfill that mission, we rotate positions every year. This year, I decided to write letters of encouragement and congratulations to all of the ladies I know who are moving into leadership positions. It felt great to write them and it has felt even better to hear back from friends who say that it was a nice pick up to get a hand-written note in their mailbox instead of just the normal bills and junk mail that flows into our homes these days. That just made my heart feel good.

I made a very bad decision about a week ago and sent an anonymous letter to someone. As soon as I released it into the mailbox, I knew I'd done the wrong thing. My fear of discovery caused extreme anxiety and even heart palpitations. My action caused me to question my usually good judgement and ethics.

So, what I know more about today is that I'm capable of doing something really stupid and that I need to think more about the implications and consequences of my actions--but without squelching my spontaneous streak.

Sometimes you just have to let go. Understand that you've done all that you can do and have faith that things will be just as they should be.

I know more about most of the people I love or care about; I know more about my feelings for them and vice versa. I also know more about trust and belief in my own intuitions.

I learned that there is a fabulous school in New York called Mama Gena's school of womanly arts that does courses for women on reaquainting themselves with pleasure (thanks to my coach Beth for this info). I just finished the book, appropriately called Mama Gena's School of Womanly Arts, and it was fabulous! Each chapter has exercises to do and let me tell you, mama Gena has got it going on!

Thanks for the great question! I believe with every inch of me that you should be constantly learning.....so this question put that idea to the test:-) I know now that I can live within my budget...wait for something material that I want to acquire until I have the funds to get it.....during the last two weeks I made this decision for myself...this is huge for me, and I feel wonderful that I'm actually stronger than what I thought myself to be.

Self Love. I turned thirty this year, and slowly, the need to be validated and accepted by others is being replaced with a profound sense of self-love and a desire to create true community.

What it is like to have an MRI, and a little bit about how it works (I had a lot of questions for the operator - I'm fascinated by machines!).

Buckminster Fuller. I got to attend the opening of the great exhibit on him at the Whitney, which included a full tour led by the curators. I've always been a fan, but now I know a lot more about him. I now know he was a friend of Isamu Noguchi, which makes so much sense. And I heard for the first time about Black Mountain College, where he taught for 2 years. I must find out more about that place - it was a hotbed of radical thinking in the 40s...

Being outgoing at a cocktail party, and the rewards therein.

My Morning Jacket - finally got to see them live!

Radio City Music Hall. The design was based on the view of sunrise from the deck of an ocean liner. And it is somehow reminiscent of the MRI machine... :)

Oh, and I need to add in that it's totally true: Sharon got calmer when I started freaking out before my wedding. She sat me down and made me eat food, and breathe. She had tissue tucked into the bodice of her dress and was there in a flash. She's amazing and I love her.

Congratulations my dear friend! How happy am I for you? You are a beautiful paradox Understated Joy. It reminds me of those times when you seemed so shy and quiet, but once you stepped on stage, you exploded in this incredible fireball of energy. You have always been Understated Joy. Now you have a name for it. Blessings to you.
