Jen Towner Karaoke

Jen Towner Colonial Wig Planking

The other Jen Towner is crazy.

that's really all I can say about that....

It's a good thing she doesn't live in the city or I would never get anything done.

here are a few photos...

she took far more photos than I did... we saw each other on three separate occasions and each time she wore me out...

I will hopefully post more tomorrow or next week...

Life is good.

Good Morning.

I've been thinking recently about how my habits have changed lately... (since I fell into the grief pit earlier this year)...

I am not blogging as much  - you probably have already figured that out.
I'm not watching television as much - I don't feel the need to escape into other worlds...
I'm reading more.
I'm doing new things and meeting new people.

I feel like things are gelling and moving in the right direction.
It's a bit hard to articulate it but I feel as though I'm living more authentically. It's nice.

I just wanted to check in to let you all know that I'm still around and I'm doing alright.

I am meeting the other Jen Towner tonight for Karaoke. I love her. She is crazy. I am glad she doesn't live here though because I would never get anything done.

I will report back later and let you know how it all pans out.

What I know today.

Today I get to meet the other Jen Towner. She is in town for vacation. It will be fun. We are having dinner this evening.

I've been helping my friend Ken pack up and move this past week. He's been in the house for a long time... it's nice to be able to help out. He has been a good listener for my woes changes as of late. It's nice to be able to return the favor.

Yesterday I went to Saturday boot camp - it was fun. It just reminds me of being a kid again. Running jumping, skipping, other hard things but it's fun. I feel so good when I'm done. Heck - I even feel good when I'm doing it.

I am working on getting my act together for my trip this summer.... I have to figure of few things out. I'm not too worried about it though. I just have to get there.

I am feeling good.

Look at this! Two posts in a week!

Just a quick post this morning.

A few things I've been thinking about.

I've been eliminating soy and wheat from my diet to reduce the amount of phlegm I have (yeah, it's kinda gross, but I was getting tired of clearing my throat all the time)... It's not as hard as I thought. However, I do miss toast.

I am not sure if I mentioned it or not but I've been doing an E-course on Brene Brown's Gifts of Imperfection book. It's been a good thing... working creatively on whole-hearted living. It is apparent that I have turned into a hippie but I'm okay with it.

I am a big fan of the Oprah Network... a lot of spiritual soul work going on through their programming... I think I'm going to sit down and write Oprah a letter and tell her how much I appreciate it.

I am feeling transformed lately. More complete. Not perfect, but more in line with the universe...

Through a combination of working through feelings and my actions, my spiritual development, and focusing on the good things I have - I truly feel better.

Last weekend a person I know - (we are fb friends) came up to me at the Mariner's game and told me that I was an inspiration. She was just impressed with how I'm positive and healthy... it was really nice to hear. I notice as I go along this journey It feels so much easier to focus on positive instead of negative... the negative just wears you down.

I am beginning to get very excited about going to Vermont this summer. I'm thinking I will just fly by the seat of my pants to get there.... no hotel reservations for me. Perhaps I will find church connections that can help me out along the way to keep expenses low... I'm pretty jazzed about the whole thing.

Oops... I meant to publish this earlier - I guess that didn't happen - here you go!

Nothing...

I'm in a state of flux (yes, I'm using ceramic glaze technology term)... it's not a bad thing...

I am chilling out this evening and recharging... I've been busy with life. This morning I went to ww and then did stairs, then this afternoon I attended a program at the Henry Art Gallery in conjunction with the project Wild Times by Susan Robb. It was called Formulary for a New Wilderness - we discussed what it means to be wild. I enjoyed it - of course I can't explain it but that's okay, I know you will understand.

I've been doing alright... a few times over the past week or so two people have told me that I'm inspirational. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I guess it means a lot. I'm just trying to get myself right through gratitude, going to church, and feeding myself good things... since the beginning of the year I've been focusing and being more positive. It's working I suppose... I was just tired of feeling crappy. I don't always feel great, but that's to be expected.

I'm looking forward to heading to vermont in July, It's just what I need. I need to feed my soul and get the artwork mojo back... I've continued to work on my drawings but It will be nice to have concentrated time to work on things...

I don't have much more to say other than I just keep plugging along...

Here I am, there you go.

Just another check in.

things are plugging along... things are good.

I'm enjoying my new routines... boot camp, reading, getting ready for my time off this summer... making new friends...

things are good - I know I said that earlier, but it's true.
