Southern Island Spirit: February 2011
http://ryukyusoul.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. What I've Learned from Posting Daily for a Month (NaBloPoMo #27). Letting go gets easier, just as starting a new action/habit does as well. I learned to "just do it" and that it works well for combating inertia, just as it is about loosening the grip and letting go. I wish I could write everyday, but I think I will need to slow down after tomorrow. Especially as we are now a mere three weeks out from the show that I haven't yet even blogged about! Links to this post. It is hard...

Southern Island Spirit: October 2012
http://ryukyusoul.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 15, 2012. What a difference a week makes! A week since the last post! It feels like a lifetime has passed since last Sunday. Here it is early Monday morning, probably up from the residual adrenaline from the big weekend, though I'm still pretty tired. That Sunday, we had the beginning of a multi-project week - visitors from Okinawa until Thursday, more Bazaar planning, scholarship process - yes, all for work. It's the morning after the bazaar and most folks are taking the day off. Ala...

Southern Island Spirit: January 2010
http://ryukyusoul.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 19, 2010. On the eve of my 39th birthday, and feeling ambivalent. Growing older does not worry me. well, wait. what does "growing older" mean anyway? Accumulating the years is not as distressing as accumulating the years and seeing each one pass as one that was not lived to its potential. Ah yes, that is what gets my goat. Or independence and adulthood that she wasn't ready for? Most people at that age are so excited, they can hardly contain themselves. The rub, the rub. And "knowing bet...

Southern Island Spirit: Overtime again...
http://ryukyusoul.blogspot.com/2011/11/overtime-again.html
Monday, November 21, 2011. It's 11:46pm and I just got home. I'm catching up something fierce at work and while I hate the overtime, I'm feeling more in control of things. is that why tonight my blood sugar is lower than it has been in weeks? I measured at 71 just now. I don't think that my man is very happy with my late hours as of late, so it's a trade-off. We'll see how it plays out. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Southern Island Spirit: Overwhelm
http://ryukyusoul.blogspot.com/2012/10/overwhelm.html
Friday, October 5, 2012. It's a Friday morning. And things are only going to ramp up for the next week and a half. A bit tiring to just think about, actually. This feeling of overwhelm is not unfamiliar, but thankfully, not a constant. But even this temporary overwhelm is damaging - I can feel it's physical and mental toll. And I don't want the strength of the negativity to grow. I need to write. I need to reflect. I need to sit. And I need to "make space.". Breathing, being still, listening to the trash...

Southern Island Spirit: April 2010
http://ryukyusoul.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 9, 2010. I haven't been able to write. But my life is changing. I'm never going to be the same again. I don't quite know where this is going to lead, but right now, I know with whom I'll be traveling for awhile. if not the rest of my life. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Southern Island Spirit: March 2011
http://ryukyusoul.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 17, 2011. Trying to prevent my own nuclear meltdown! I don't mean to make light of the serious nuclear plant situation in Japan. Yesterday afternoon I was in such an idyllic state because I'd spent a lunch in the company of some very interesting people. Also, being able to have time with Terukina-sensei, my sanshin sensei from Okinawa, and his wife is just simply heavenly good. I'm flooded with memories of all of my wonderful time spent in Okinawa. This is only a fifth of what I did!

Southern Island Spirit: March 2010

Friday, March 26, 2010. I feel unusually clear today. Conscious. Aware. I noticed it right after I got into work. There's shift happening. And I know it's source. Or sources. It's gratifying, terrifying, thrilling, moving, and serene even. And I'm dying to write about it. Must do work. But had to put out into the Universe that I'm awake. Looking for the delicious moment to begin putting words to "paper", so to speak. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View from apartment balcony in Okinawa.
