Blogging. Creating something larger than myself and sharing it with the world. Also, my partner. . . I couldn't ask for anyone more supportive or challenging or amazing. :-D
Oh, and bird mobiles I've been creating for the new babies in my life thanks to Spool:

-Watching Planet Earth (never got to see it when it first aired) I told my husband we'd have to take it with us when we destroyed this world and have to move on. ;)
-Free Apps for my iPhone that really do silly things. They amuse me.
ps. also LOVE kundalini, isn't it wonderfully bizarre?! ... and immediately effective?!
just like you i suspect ;-)
Please check back in a couple of weeks as I update my website and create a new store.
2) Art Class. I spent the weekend gathering ideas to put on canvas. My aspirations probably exceed my talent, but maybe not. We'll see.
Finding myself (career)
Spanish accoustic guitar music like Rodrigo y Gabriela or 'Obsession Confession' by Slash, so sexy.
Now what to take from last year's experience? You always hear of people who move on from life changing experience to suddenly have an amazing clarity and drive to become the ultimate "super-person" that we would all like to emulate. However, for most of us, change of that nature is for the most part unattainable or at least very difficult. We still have the same life and daily responsibilities that are not going to accept any major changes. Your family, friends and colleagues did not go through the same event (although they have obviously been beside you and affected by your experience) and thus are not really much different. The home, career and neighborhood are still the same. So, unless someone is willing to completely alter everything in their life through a complete upheaval, changes available to them are going to be very minor even in the aftermath of such a major event. Change is difficult at the best of times, and the world is definitely not in the best of times. My suggestion is look at all the good things in your life and relish and build upon them. Enjoy those things that you have had a lucky second chance to experience and savor. Say all the things you have been putting off that you would have really regretted not being able to say if you hadn't survived. But, don't worry about needing to make major changes as we have usually built the lives we are in for a reason. To me, this event has given you the focus to tweak that life and enhance it. After this week try not to worry about dying, your fate is hopefully in the future like the rest of us, but you have been given a lucky wake up call that you survived. Use that luck to make the lives around you better off for your being there, no matter how much longer that is for!
All the best, my thoughts are with you!!
If you can get referred to a good cardiac rehab program (I write this from our program at St Paul's Hospital in Vancouver), you will have a whole team to help you sort this all out. So many of our patients have struggled with the same issues and I consistently hear them express gratitude once they get through for the ability to talk with other patients as well as learning from the program itself. Support through this time is key to making the changes that you may need to make - whether working with the dieticians, the exercise physiologists, the psychologists, the nurses and /or cardiologists - and with your fellow participants. Googling "cardiac rehab programs" and your area should get you some info to start with.
If Chuck sees this - we also work with folks with risk factors too - family history makes you so much more vulnerable to the effects of a questionable lifestyle.
Good luck on your journey!
Somehow my life has gotten unusually full the past weeks and sometimes it´s almost scary how much there is to do until the end of the year and after that.
At first I just envisioned how I would spend the Christmas-days. It was a very calming exercise that helped me put some order into my racing thoughts.
Then I envisioned the December- and November-weekends. And then week-days. And the little visions came closer and closer to the present day.
Some things I envisioned or wished for have already become true.
A wonderful way to meditate about life!
My new charcoals from the art supply store.
Single-tasking instead of mult-tasking.
Fantasy books by Lois McMaster Bujold.
Turning my cell phone off.
When I read this question, my first reaction was I am obsessed with making my business a success...But that truly is NOT what its all about.
When its quiet and time to relax, I probably am obsessed with learning more about life. I truly enjoy trying to put all the pieces together and finding a true purpose for the madness around us.
Chicago Bears tickets....I'm obsessed with it....but I just have to go now that I've met Devin Hester. OMG!!! I'm so excited!!! Even though the tickets are outrageously overpriced.
Alice Adams collected short stories & getting help finally for a physical difficulty--hate doctors.
!!!
And, I heard about it here. Thank you!
As for me right now, I'll admit my obsession is the U.S. presidential election. Besides that, my own writing, which is a pretty great thing to be obsessed with, and decoupage/collage, and Linda Barry's new book 'What it Is" on the creative process.
The highlight of my day is in the morning when I take my fresh cup of coffee and situate myself in front of my computer so giddy to find what the daily question is going to be and going to reveal. For ten minutes it's all about me.
Clearing -- de-cluttering like crazy
Gardening -- I'm a beginner gardener, but I love the back-to-basics feel of growing food
Mixed media and creating without patterns or templates -- total freedom!
I feel like I'm clearing the path for huge blessings. Some have already begun to flow.
Astrology is a recent interest as well--I've learned that as a Capricorn, it's in my nature to be melancholic at times, to be on a quest for identity, and to need a lifestyle that is holistic.
And finally, the Style Statement book--it's helping me in my quest for identity.
