A Road Less Traveled: July 2005
http://marcimcpherson.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
A Road Less Traveled. Sunday, July 31, 2005. I wonder if all our strengths are tied to our weaknesses - and vice versa? I'm pretty self-aware - identifying my feelings and understanding why I feel them is pretty easy. When I eat for comfort or watch TV to avoid reality, out of feelings of anxiety or fear, I know I'm doing it and why. When I pull away from someone that I like because I'm afraid I'm going to get hurt - I'm aware of that. This self-consiousness is also why I can't dance.

A Road Less Traveled: April 2006

A Road Less Traveled. Sunday, April 30, 2006. Everything looks perfect from far away.Part One. The spiky weeds and bumpy ground made it so uncomfortable that I finally found a more comfortable "chair" in one of the broken pieces of cinderblock, rested my head against the tree, brushed the bugs from my face, and pulled out my journal. The disappointment faded gradually as I slowly began shifting from the dream I'd imagined to the the reality I was being offered. Posted by Marci @ 7:42 AM. Go to bed angry!

A Road Less Traveled. Thursday, October 12, 2006. Other news: Lora is home from the hospital; I got hired to photograph a wedding in Hawaii (they're flying me out); I quit my job teaching at the DATC (I loved it, but I couldn't handle it - for now); I have clinical depression/anxiety due to hormone stuff (it's called PMDD - and it is treatable.yay! Also: I've been asked to sing at my friend's baptism this next Sunday. Ahhh! So, in closing, here's my mural sketches and a great random fact:.

A Road Less Traveled: May 2006

A Road Less Traveled. Friday, May 26, 2006. In India, I wear flowers in my hair, and loose clothing tha. T's light as the wind. And I walk gently, demurely, my back straight but not proud, and I put my hands. Together and bow and smile gently in greeting. I feel safe there. I feel like a woman. And in Mexico, I awake on a hard cement floor, cold and stiff, to the sound of chickens pecking and dogs barking and shouted calls for "plantanos y tortillas! What if the magic fails? Will I know who I am then?

A Road Less Traveled. Tuesday, March 21, 2006. Bleak It's a bleak winter, and it's getting to me. Badly. But, I find little pieces to hang on to. One of the houses on my block still has it's Christmas lights up, and I just want to shout "Hallelujah, God bless 'em! Looking into the sky sometimes.it's like the feeling when you look into the mirror - not to admire or criticize - just to look at yourself. In the eye, nakedly.and hold it. What do you feel? Do you feel fear? Do you feel love? Do you feel peace?

A Road Less Traveled: September 2006

A Road Less Traveled. Saturday, September 30, 2006. Mine's numbers. I have this thing where I love getting the same number repeated for the time, like 2:22 or 10:10. It makes me feel lucky, somehow: as if there's some special meaning in it. It just feels like a brief second of meditation in which everything is balanced perfectly. 3 - Although not worth quite as much, palindromes can also be a nice little moment. 10:01, 12:21, etc. It really has become almost a big deal. Say I'm having a really discou...

A Road Less Traveled. Friday, June 16, 2006. Sorry I haven't been updating much on my blogs. I'm not even going to write much now, which is why I stuck in the picture. It's from Panama, and one of my favorites. I've been spending a lot of time focusing on my humanitarian work, my new job (teaching ESL), church responsibilities, and especially on Dan. It's all worth it:. Posted by Marci @ 11:38 AM. Thursday, June 08, 2006. Play, Exercise, and Doing Nothing. We also attempted to play a form of racquetball-...

A Road Less Traveled: November 2006
http://marcimcpherson.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
A Road Less Traveled. Wednesday, November 15, 2006. I know - and don't know - what awaits me; I've done this trip before, but there are always surprises. Hence the anticipation. And the fear. My heart longs for these journeys in a way never imagined (by me, anyway). Others used to tell me that I was a traveler. Yet I did. And through these trips, I tapped into a self I'd never known before - not to mention sights, smells, sounds, tastes, and most of all, people I'd never known before and grew to love.
