I've been hella busy. Most of all with my poi practice. I've come so far since last November. Starting Poi has made me realize I want to do this for the rest of my life. I finally started taking physical classes in San Francisco, Instead of just video lessons.. both help, But hands on teaching helps me better :) I simply love how much it makes me feel. The "Flow" as most call it... is something I've never experienced before until I started learning how to spin poi. I eventually want to work my way up to a real poi performer, fire dancer, however you wish to call it.
If that's to be my life.. it would be awesome, though I don't expect it to be my main source of income... I imagine it would be nice to do on the side for performances.
I also started taking up sewing again... I've been sewing a lot of throw pillows for the house.. A lot of trippy/hippy chill pillows. The house is looking amazing because of them! I also want to take a 4 session class in a couple months to learn how to sew my own clothes! ie flow pants. I've been inspired to make my own clothes by my Teacher. But not just because of that... I feel that when I do spin poi, I want to own a look, a look that screams "THIS IS ME!" and I feel that no stores in person or stores online are going to have what I'm looking for... Not to mention, I also want my outfits to be very personalized... So I'm hoping to start that project soon as well!
I've gotten back into painting. Brett's mom gave me a beautiful 6' tall easel that looks dreamy! I've been having so much fun with all sizes of canvas'. Brett has stirred up my creativity. And I've been having the time of my life with him. I've never had so many people say "You guys look so cute together." It's strange for me, because I have never heard that before. Life with him is so fun and freeing. I wish I could've met him 5 years ago.
We are like best friends.. we talk a lot, go places together.... Watch a lot of interesting documentaries... We've even been re-decorating our house together... Kind of getting sick of San Jose... Hope to move to Berkeley Or San Francisco Soon. That's where most of our friends are.
So we are in the month Of May almost... And yes.... I still think of Kovu and my Dad. last month and a half I've been terribly sad inside... April 6th passed, and that means it's been a year since my Daddy left us.... But lately.. me and Brett have been watching a lot of Documentaries that involve life after death and whats on the other side. You can choose to believe what you will about that subject... all I know is.. I'm no longer afraid to die, and I'm finding it hard these days to be sad that my Dad is gone, I feel enlightened knowing he's in a much better place and off somewhere beautiful and free. My only sadness is I won't see him for a while. But I know he's there waiting. :) I also know he's stopping in to say hi to my mom and me.. my mom lives in Sonora... and she says she can smell his old spice cologne out of no where sometimes... I smelled him the other day in my home in San Jose.
Life is simply amazing right now! It's a great and exciting time to be alive! Brett and I also got introduced to a concept called the "Flower of Life" I urge you to look that up! Our Friend Evan said his girl Memory told him about it, and then showed us what it was. I've been fascinated ever since!
How's my Weight managment? Well, I'm still in the 150's. I've been going crazy with carbs the last couple months because of my emotions.. but finally got back on the wagon a week ago. I've been drinking my protein drinks, taking my vitamins, and eating a lot of homemade salads and cream soups. As far as exercise I need to start getting on yoga... but for now, poi and dancing is what I do. lol. I do take walks occasionally with Brett, Which are so nice :)
I'll try and update on here more when I have more to talk about. That's all for now! :D
