little steps
after the fabulous camping trip and how wonderfully my car took (all eight of) us up and through the mountains, i am giving my car some love. today i picked it up from a tune up, oil change, and got the power windows fixed! woohooo, airflow! next week it will be some smaller random little items and the air conditioning. i plan to avoid using the air unless absolutely necessary, such as during the two to three weeks it will be 106 and isaac will be in the car with me. or unless he asks. i do not really care anymore - i try to look at it like a spiritual experience to sweat in memphis in the summer.
this means i can do a little traveling - very stoked.
other than taking lots of photos this week, i feel like i have accomplished little on my music front or in the way of upkeep on my home. so i am making a plan. i feel a need for a huge purge. there is just a little too much of nearly everything here in my house. well, not books or records, but i think i may be able to donate even some books. but, i am no longer proud of all these shoes. they sit there and sit there and i end up wearing the same flip flops or vans over and over. same for clothing. so, looking forward to finding good places for these things, and clearing out some space here.
time to simplify.
also starting The Artist's Way with my good friend and neighbor Kim. really looking forward to unblocking some energy on my deejaying, my singing, and who knows what else on the creative front. taking photos is soooo fun for me, i feel very creative about that. but when i think about recording a mix - i choke. when i think about singing a song - actually expressing myself with my own voice, where it will be recorded - i choke and think that my lyrics are crap. they aren't - i just need to find a way to let them flow out of me.
perhaps a purge, and the artist's way, along with all the other love and support i have, will bring me over this (probably imaginary) hump. here's to it.
