My Life in the Stars

I'd almost feel bad that my only update in days is a reprinting of my horoscope; yet, here's a perfect summary of where I'm at:

You are like a kite that is flying around in the breeze today. You may feel rather ungrounded and as if you are at the mercy of the changing winds. Fortunately, steady currents allow you to gain altitude. But there are also strange weather patterns that make it impossible for you to know what will be coming next. Your best strategy is to remain flexible until calmer times return.

And return they shall, those elusive calmer times, I just know it... ♥

The Wapsi Girl Project

Paul's call for submissions came at the perfect time!
I needed reminding, I am indeed a Wapsi Girl ♥

As you probably know, I do my best to show women as positive roll models in my comic (all shapes and sizes), be it through body image or handling of life's curve-balls. About a year ago, I’ve had several female readers and fans of my comic contribute to a new project called the "Wapsi Girl Project". As often as I can, I feature a new positive roll model that exemplifies the spirit of the "Wapsi Girl" and that’s for each of the women spotlighted to define, as it‘s an open ended question. I have everyone that contributes write a few paragraphs to answer the question, "What is a Wapsi Girl?" and relate how these elements pertain to themselves or any story they might like to share.. In short, centering on real women with real problems that find creative solutions to keep going. ^_^

I'm excited to submit my wisdom for consideration... Wapsi Girls are pretty freaking amazing!

It's a New Day

oh yes it is! I am still cycling through thoughts that bring me up and those that will bring me down. Mostly I'm seeking that safe, peaceful place in the middle. And often I find it. The more often I find it, the longer I stay there, the easier it is to find it again when I need it.
Yesterday, I did some guided meditation with Andrew Weil... whoa! As I'm breathing, I hear his voice "use this breathing each time something pops up that upsets you..." aaaaahhh what a welcome voice to add to my choir. I can't wait to check out the Deepak Chopra meditations, too :)
I have an appointment today at The Mind Spa on campus (almost wrote Mind Spay, wtf?!). If it goes well, I plan to make a standing appointment, weekly! Me and the Light Box and the Vibrating Chair, the Meditation Corner and the Bio-Feedback - what a team ♥
