Art stage 1
Here's what I accomplished on my first day of crafting with Mom! I am very excited to continue tomorrow!!!
Art
My beautiful goddess sister Kelly came over this past weekend. She is doing a 'soul restoration' course through Brave Girls Club. While she was here she showed me some of the craft technique videos. Such as what you can really accomplish with Mod Podge, one of the greatest crafting tools EVER! Mod Podge is a glue and a sealer and it keeps many things on canvas such as beads, tissue paper, embroidery sting and mosaic tiles.
Watching these videos with Kelly got me into a crafting mood. Which always makes me excited because I really do enjoy being creative. And so today is crafting day with mom. I have sketched out what I would like my painting to look like and I am open to adding lots of stuff to it as I go. This painting is to be an homage to Peaks and all the camps that have transformed my life in so many ways. I have been wanting a tattoo since I attended Enlightened Warrior Training Camp in June of 2008, however I have not yet taken the steps to get it done. I suppose I am still debating really if I want to have any design, even if it's one I LOVE, tattooed permanently on my body... To top that off I still do not have a design that I LOVE.
I suppose the point of this post is to ask you what are you doing that is creative? I will be painting and crafting today and writing this blog post is also part of my creativity. You can collage, colour, draw, write, photograph or read even- I challenge you to do something using your right brain today!

Jog/ Walk
For as long as I can remember I have not liked running. Now that I really think about it I'm pretty sure it's because I'm not that good at it. How can someone not be good at running? You may ask. My answer to that is; have you ever seen the episode of FRIENDS where Rachel goes running and Phoebe wants to join her?!
Although when I say that I am not that good at it I mean that my lungs just do not enjoy not being able to breath easily. However I have recently realized that the only way for my lungs to expand and improve their breathing capacity is to practice. And so I have taken up jogging/walking. I am taking it easy on myself and slowly improving each time I get on the street. I jog a section at a decent jogging pace and then I walk a section.
So far I am on day 3 of this new lifestyle and I am happy to report that I have improved. Friday morning I did weights and then a jog/walk, Saturday morning I did an abs yoga program and this morning I did weights and a jog/walk again. This is progress and I am sharing with you because I am celebrating!!!
One thing that I took away from Enlightened Warrior Training Camp when I took it back in June of 2008 is that a warrior celebrates their success! They accomplish something they celebrate it. So this is me celebrating AND committing to getting in shape and losing 50 pounds! This summer I will be making it to peak 5!!!
