The Next Place...and the next

I've always feared that my colleagues would discover that I'm a bit of a loon. I usually try to keep my new agey behaviors to myself, even hidden from my closest friends. Only my mom, who is biologically obligated to love me anyway, really knows about the quirky beliefs and rituals I've incorporated into my weird little life.

Now that I've moved to Austin and have to show up in an office every day to be seen by my co-workers and boss, my hippie ways are harder to hide. I did retire my desktop aromatherapy kit in exchange for a subtle bottle of pressure point cream. But, my Inner Peace Cards remain right there, front and center, for all to see, right next to the Creative Whack Pack and lava lamp.

Today's card I love...

(paraphrased...you'd gag otherwise) Each experience up to now was necessary to get me to this very moment. I wouldn't be in this desk chair, staring at PowerPoint slides, waiting rather impatiently for Friday, if it hadn't been for 30 years of other moments, good and bad.

I dig that kinda. And it kinda fits in to this whole New Years hoopla. So, New Years resolution declaration: Try to have as many useful, positive, thrilling, transformative moments as possible in 2011 so that each next moment is made that much better.

Ok, and do more Om breaths. *wink*
