Creative Suspension

I was very sad and miserable when despite there still being spaces left in the yoga retreat that was supposed to happen this weekend, I wasn't able to obtain a ride.

I received a call from a woman I contacted from Vitality Magazine, who is running anither yoga retreast later this month. It only has 10 not 40 spaces and that means that I would receive way more flexibility and individual attention then I would have had with the other retreat. Plus, they even have canoeing! How great is that?

I've just got to be diligent in doing my chanting that I will get a ride this time--since the retreat is twice the distance. I still haven't given up hope on attending the Buddhist retreat in July but there the issue is more, the number of spaces, as transportation is a given.

Somehow, I will get away to some place this summer. I just need to keep up the faith.

I've started my creative writing memoir course (L2)

I have decided to use my other blog for composing my assignments and am keeping this to reflect my psychological, physical, and spiritual journey; as well as record life events and any other items of curiosity.

I will use this blog for comments on the various assignments and how they have affected me in this personal journey I have undertaken to self-knowledge.

You just can't allow other people to tell you what to do

This is my blog and what point is there writing it if it will be censcored? If I can't honestly write what I choose w/o fear of retribution?

After all, this is supposed to be my vehicle for creative expression--no one else's! Therefore, I should be allowed to post/post photos within my choosing--so long as it confers with the blogspots policies, no one has any write to object.

I'm so tired of not nhaving control over my life since I got diagnosed with breast cancer in Jan. 2008, and other people seeming to think that they have creative licence or something, to try to take advantage of my vulnerability.

I have just as much right as anyone to seek my bliss and as long as I don't judge others on their choices, what right do they have to condemn mine?

I needed to get this out of my system, so I don 't start screaming like my crazy neighbour across the hall. Isn't this really what this blog is supposed to be about anyhow?

I got accepted into the body image study but I don't know if I will get into the group or just fill out forms.

I've been looking for a Yoga studio outside of WS which is not too pricey and has a good location.

I am doing all of this stuff (buddhism, yoga, theapy) to find some way, somehow of transending this surreal experience that I've been through. Will I ever find peace? Sigh!
