UPDATE / Week of February 8 to 14
REFERENCES: The 12-Notch Plan — Notch #2 – GOALS for February — Notch #2 – BABY STEPS / Week of February 8 to 14
Before I explain what the illustration’s all about, here’s how it went with my BABY STEPS last week.
BALANCED DIET / PROTEIN INTAKE
I jotted down everything I ate to make sure I was getting the recommended 78 grams of protein each day… or close to it. Being vegetarian is quite a challenge when it comes to proteins — most days, I made it to 65-70 grams. I have to get used to eating more of everything: beans, nuts, tofu and other soy products.
CONCEPT/DESIGN FOR “ABOUT” PAGE
Had quite a few crazy ideas which — unfortunately — aren’t do-able. Maybe I’m expecting too much of this. Then again, I’d really like to come up with a fun way to introduce myself. Back to the drawing board!
AND NOW FOR THE BABY STEPS INTO THE SOUL
Time came to a halt last week. It’s as if one extremely long day went by. Or better yet, one never-ending night. Yeah… it was kind of dark for a while.
First, a friend of mine needed help. Without going into details, let’s just say that I put everything on hold in order to *be* with her. She’s better now — thank the Universe!
But somehow, it got me thinking about where I’m going with this blog, the whole internet thing, being stuck at a desk in front of a computer instead of being with actual flesh and blood people out there in the real world. This situation is getting weird. It’s not how I want to spend the rest of my life.
Then I caught a cold and the trance-like fever amplified my feeling of isolation. I even managed to injure my foot and couldn’t get out of the house for my morning walks. I was in prison… in a trap. Arrrrrrgh!
Naturally, all that was left for me was to think-think-think. I’m still thinking as I type, How do I get out of this rut? I’ve been in this housing co-op for 28 years. Sure, it’s a nice flat, the rent is low, I’m near the metro. But deep down in my soul, I know that it’s time to go. But where?
I want the road, adventure, mountains, nature;
to walk along oceans and step deep into forests.
I want the unexpected, the out-of-the-ordinary,
the not-the-same-as-yesterday.
My cocoon period has come to an end.
I’m aching for change.
I’m ready for it.
And once I create that change, I’ll have something
more interesting to blog about!
CONCLUSION
I need a vision.
A map.
A plan.
How about you… do you need a change?
