How to Love

Posted on Jun 23rd, 2009 by pura-vida : The Alchemist pura-vida
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 23, 2009:

Doing things for others without them having to ask.
I feel most loved when I come home and best friend/parent/etc. has already taken care of something for me that needed to be done.
We love by doing.

Summer--starting something new this season.

Posted on Jun 23rd, 2009 by pura-vida : The Alchemist pura-vida
You know how the seasons are all associated with some sort of life cycle (winter=death, spring=birth, etc.).  I know summer is usually associated with life, vitality, etc but I really feel like I'm finally coming into myself, or atleast starting to this season.
Throughout the year, I went through what I called a naked process, transitioning from chemically straightened hair to my natural born kinky/coily hair.  Naked because I felt exposed, uncomfortable, unsure, vulnerable, and even ugly.  It was difficult, but is symbolic of a lot of the other changes I was/am undergoing.
I've learned so much about myself, and about others around me.  Self-awarness I believe is key to conquring yourself (lol if that makes sense).
I'm taking steps to improve myself, and so glad that I've started. The journey continues.
This is my summer.
