my tangible spirit: February 2010
http://inthemiddleoftina.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 16, 2010. I don't understand what happened. When I was a little girl, you told me fairy stories and helped me see little magical creatures living under the mossy ground in the woods. You told me Santa Claus was real, and took me on (like you do your father in a political debate.) when I tried to argue that truth. When I was a teenager, you even gave me a book to read, debunking the myth of St. Nick's untruth. Labels: On my mind. Wednesday, February 10, 2010. All of. us. We need to look ...

my tangible spirit: November 2009
http://inthemiddleoftina.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 10, 2009. Joy is an inside job with outside rewards. If I stay put, my insides will eat me up and my happiness will burrow deeper within me. If I go, personal, wellness, and monetary rewards will come. A leash-free world is. A world where boundaries, and judgements, and harmful restrictions, and fear melt away to a constructive, supportive, interesting, loving community. A world where people of different beliefs, backgrounds, shapes, and colors. Bare a common responsibility. There are m...

my tangible spirit: Diving into life...
http://inthemiddleoftina.blogspot.com/2010/07/diving-into-life.html
Friday, July 09, 2010. A letter posted on my GHS facebook account, to my students of all types. To my cherubs new and old, to my drama clubbers, to my ballroom dancers, to my English students, to my ABC boys, to all of you,. Without you all, I would not have had the courage to listen to my heart and depart on an adventure to find the life that honors its song. Translation- it is because of my time at GHS and the people I met there that I am trusting and believing in myself. Peace, love, and laughter,.

my tangible spirit: August 2009
http://inthemiddleoftina.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 15, 2009. We are all so fragile: little feathers floating in the breeze, coasting in any direction the wind chooses, stopping, going, fluttering every which way. Some might say aimlessly, while others say purposefully. But whose purpose is it? Have you ever had the sudden urge to open a car door as it speeds down a freeway? Or to not take that step to solid ground as the escalator reaches the top? I am not crazy. In fact, I think I'm more sane than ever. Or should I take that temptation,...

my tangible spirit: Healing Paralysis
http://inthemiddleoftina.blogspot.com/2010/07/healing-paralysis.html
Friday, July 09, 2010. A letter I wrote to a casting agent, for a show dealing with inspiring people to change.I think I sent it too late for the cut, but it was a great exercise for me anyway. I've been paralyzed by fear of failure and loneliness. And I'm sick of it. I am finally ready to make some choices, some hard changes, to open up the pathways to possibility in my life. The more I saw, the more I felt limited and boxed in. I knew had to get out. I HAVE to get out. On Friday, I wrote my letter of r...

my tangible spirit: April 2010
http://inthemiddleoftina.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 28, 2010. From Eve Ensler's "I Am An Emotional Creature". Your left lung is smaller than your right lung to make room for your heart. These monologues are not interviews. Each monologue is a literary text inspired by traveling the world, by witnessing events, by listening to real and imagined conversations. On occasion a monologue was inspired by an article, an experience, a memory, a dream, a wish, an image, or a moment of grief of rage. Dear Emotional Creature,. Everyone seems to have ...

my tangible spirit: December 2009
http://inthemiddleoftina.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 12, 2009. Life is a poem,. An Alice in Wonderland carnival,. If that stops, all will be lost. To think people have stopped. When we stop finding new ways of. The world around us. I believe the very essence of life is lost. The day I wake up. And don't have a new thought,. A day dream,. The day I settle. For the same old cliche,. The easy word,. The things I already know,. That will be the day that I've given up on me. When I think about what could have been, my breath runs away from me.
