Lessons of 2017, so far-
You can not go backwards.
When changing ingrained habits, you will be tested.
Humor is invaluable.
You can only ever make the next right choice.
Grey> B/W
It is up to you and only you to create the life you want.
Your teachers will come in all forms.
Until the lessons are learned, the situations will repeat.
Resistance works.
Panic achieves nothing.
Creativity is a necessity.
Sometimes it is necessary to turn off the news and turn up the music.
Your intuition is Always right.
Life goes on.

As my dad and I recently made what I hope to be the final drive moving things from my house in New Mexico to my apartment in LA, I was struck by the thought that just one year ago, none of my current reality was anywhere on a conscious horizon. For all I knew, I was content to keep living in my house, working as a costumer, and continuing as before. Forever. The truth is that I wasn’t consciously thinking about any of it, but rather just going along.
Cut to the winter of 2017 and I am living in a different place, working as little as possible in my career of over a decade, protesting my current government, taking improv classes, signing up for multiple other classes, dating, and consciously creating a life that reflects and encompasses who I want to be.
And I really have no idea what I am doing! Like seriously no idea. I am being repeatedly tested when saying no to the familiar and comfortable, be they cities, jobs, or habits, as if the Universe wants to be really certain of my commitment. After emerging from the tests, I simply try to make the next right decision on a daily basis, saying no to the things I know do not work, and trusting that at least then there will be room for what does work, even if I don’t yet know what that is. Onward–>
