A day in the life...

So I came up with an idea for a blog, which I think everyone should participate in. It's called the a day in the life. First you describe a typical day in your life. Then your describe an ideal typical day in your life. Afterwards think about why your aren't living the way you want to live...

A typical day...

Get up 6am, do 3 pages of free-form writing called morning pages (check out the book the Artist's Way by Julia Cameron) . Yes while I'm still in that morning fog. Just a stream of consciousness.

Then I pray, hop in the shower. Eat my breakfast usually some fruit and kashi cereal with rice milk. Get dressed off to work...

I temp as a receptionist at a university in MD. Blah. While at work I blog, read blogs, research anything that interest me, write poems, and work on this one woman show I've been writing. I'm at work for 8-5.

In the evenings, I do different things that include, yoga, volunteering with a youth performing arts non profit (I LOVE IT, KIDS ARE GREAT!) or I head to the studio and work on my music. Sometimes I go to an open mic, but I'm to scared to perform. I'm working on it, no really I am!

I go to bed around 11 or 12, I usually fall asleep to the TV, reruns of Sex and The City. Sometimes I fall asleep reading. But, yeah that's a day in the life...

My Ideal typical day in the life...

I would wake up with the sun or before it rises. Write my morning pages. Then do yoga. Eat a green smoothie all raw! Take a shower... Then off to work or to live my calling which is to create and assist heal. My ultimate goal is to use the arts and the earths resources to help people heal and to help women get back to their goddessness. I want to own a holistic/creativity wellness center... Ok so back to my ideal typical day I go work take off my shoes perform my calling. Eat an organic vegan lunch.

After performing my calling. I head home to spend time with myself with people I love. I have enough time in the day to do things I love and to enjoy the simple things in nature. Like the full moon over the ocean. Or the sunsetting. Being able to recognize different species of trees and hugging them to feel their energy. Being able to enjoy nature and other people. Yeah that's my typical weekday pre-family and having children...

I really don't want to live each day the same, behind a computer in an uncomfortable conservative suit, where I must tame my natural free hair to fit a professional standard. Im breaking out and getting free.

So how do I get there, I'm not exactly sure. As far as being an artist I'm writing all the time and channeling my creativity. I've been connecting with some producers and have been working on some music in the studio. I've been researching masters programs in herbal medicine and holistic health, I want a degree in both. But I also want my yoga teacher certification. I also want to become a doula and lactation consultant. So where do I start? That's the challenge, mapping it out .... I'm loving this journey and how the flower unfolds.
