Happy New Year! 2009! Yes. We are off.
For some reason I am blocked from writing. The topic of Ayurveda is intensely exciting and equally overwhelming. And I have frickin’ stopped writing because I feel stifled. So much knowledge to share, yet so little time (I feel, but really there’s decades of time. So what I am I trippin about?). It’s vata season so my mind tends to be more scattered, but truly I feel it’s my job in this life to help as MANY people as I can. And that’s a big job! Or maybe I am making too bit of a deal about it? Maybe I should just focus on one-by-one and quit worrying? Beh.
I told a dear sweet friend of mine today (he was way worried about the future and job-stuffs) to just look in front as far as the headlights go. And not to race in front of the light, because there will be darkness and uncertainty. But if you stay within the headlights you will, if even for a short time, see exactly where you are going. It brings us back to present, or at least not too far forward.
I race forward in thinking of what beautiful art, illustrations, and photos I want to create for HeyMonicaB. And the knowledge I want to share. And the time I don’t always have, to push colors and images around in the way I want. And to write everything that’s in my head. And I freeze. (i.e. vata imbalance. I totally have it)
SO! In 2009, I ask for persistence and endurance (kaphas have it, vata’s don’t). I will do my best to be more steady. I have a LOT of knowledge to share and a LOT of love to give through my teachings. You deserve to know it, and I deserve to share it.
Very good then. Tally ho! And onward to more blossoming of HeyMonicaB and most importantly, YOU, in 2009!!!

Well, here some thoughts. First off we breathe more. Do our pranayama (maybe that will be my next post!) for a few minutes each day. We also surround ourselves with great people who can give us ideas and support us. We talk about our blockages so that maybe someone will offer simple advice. And I think we also need to lay off the computer for a while!!! For reals! I always start writing on the computer but what is lost there is mind/body connection. When your hand makes shapes on paper, whether it’s doodles or handwriting, it’s a part of you. And that is creativity!! So I am going to try to use the computer only as a tool and not as a creative source. Our creativity is found within.
