    • My Real Age vs. the Age I Feel

      • Transforming Nature Exhibition - Etherow Park, compstall, England

        I feel that I am at the hardest part of my transformation/transition...

        I have a lot on my plate. Teaching full-time, dance rehearsals, handcrafting and building my budding jewelry business...Maria Day Handcrafted Jewelry! :) www.mdayjewels.com
        all the while fitting in my personal life with my amazing and very loving boyfriend and animals. :)

        It's spring break and yet there is so little time to complete the amount of work I have to do. Which is fine. I'm happily overwhelmed actually.

        The only thing is that I am at a particular point in time to where I am stretched super thin. Expending the amount of brain power that I do for each project is causing me to become very loopy and extremely forgetful to the point of being counter productive. In that sense, I feel older due to the type of responsibilities I have and that I feel spent mentally. I feel youthful because I am still completely inspired and driven to explore my potential! :)

    • Would I Live Forever?

      • Wisdom - Seeds of Light

        No way and no thank you!

        What would be the trade off?

        I think that if the human race was the only species to have the ability to live forever I still think it wouldn't make a bit of difference. Why? Well you have to take into account of a couple of things...all of which ultimately would lead to death.

        First off, I want to recognize that I understand what the prompt was asking. The question asks if "I" could live forever; but, I think it safe to assume that the human race would equally have the same ability. Even if it wasn't the case the same result would still be the same. Keep in mind that this assumption is the platform to my following thoughts.

        #1. Take account that I (all) have the ABILITY. I (all) have to remember that there are murderers out there. The longer I (all) live, the more likely I (all) would eventually become a target for one reason or another. Speaking of murder, you always have the option of suicide....
        #2. The same likely hood holds true to accidental deaths and other forces
        that are beyond our control...Essentially it's like a raffle drawing.
        #3. Even if I (all) decided to become hermits to be "safe" from the outside world...there is still the danger of your living space...like you slip and crack your head open.... not to mention eventual forces of nature will take place...like the whole universe coming to an eventual end...
        #4. When the universe is gone your gone anyway...so why would I want to live to endure that? Speaking of endurance...
        #5. The quality of my (all) life would suffer. Why? The aging process...even
        with the evolution of medicine and science, your body will always endure
        some kind of pain...besides who knows what insurance is going to be like over time and the financial roller coasters that I (all) have to face...the pain, stress, and energy it takes to live year after year with it...what more would you possibly want except for your own death?
        #6. Speaking of medicine...we also have to consider the resources it takes to make that medicine alone...now add that to your day to day living needs x's the amount of people who are living plus those who are being born... that if I (all) had the ability to live forever....imagine the large amount of consumption that would take place...if you think the consumption rate is bad now at 2010...imagine the rate of which supply can no longer keep up with demand...we would eventually wipe our own-self to extinction very soon.


        The only advantage that would make it worth living forever is that you have a preconceived notion that you would have a whole lot of time to accomplish what you have on your to-do list. Alas, even that is futile due to the list above.

        So my final verdict...it wouldn't matter if I could live forever...death eventually comes....

    • The Most Important Thing I'm Putting Off

      • Writing!

        Giving back to my values.....

        Due to my teaching schedule, I give so much energy to others that I forget to take the time to pause. I have been more consciences to invest more time into the things I value such as my family...Brian,Sammy,Olive,Wasabi aka "Titty"....perhaps it's the holiday season...

        Irregardless of why...I know when my spirits are deprived it takes a toll to the quality of my life and to those closest to me. With that being said, I feel that it is a persons responsibility to nurture their own happiness. Grant it, I know I definitely need to put more effort in that department.

        Hopefully, the act of thinking and writing about the subject will solidify it's place in my brain. As a matter of fact I know so. The more I blog, the more I fall in love with different aspects of my life...which in turn is a form of practice to giving time to myself...and in doing so the r.o.i. will create a much healthier and happier quality to what revolves and is involved in my world.

    • Ignorance Is (Not) Bliss

      • 27th-Feb(151st/ 365days) --- to tell, not to tell? see, not see?

        Of course! However....

        It depends on the relationship, the situation, and mannerism in which the message is delivered....

        Everyone needs to know the truth...other wise you're not doing yourself a favor or to the other person(s).

        In certain situations it is best not to say anything because the other person may not be in the right state of mind or place to receive it...they just need a little bit more time....or finally get the message when you no longer speak to them...silence can be powerful at appropriate times...but that is a judgement call based on the relationship you have with the other.

        Other situations...well, they just need the hard cold truth and there comes a point were there is no other way around. Some people do not get it unless you break there "shell".

        For some situations, telling them part of the truth is good enough. The details are not important nor will it serve a purpose. I know it sounds contradictory, but have you been in a situation were you told the whole truth and it just wasn't a good situation? Meaning you told too much when you already made the point? It can cause someone to not trust you....but then again it all depends on your intent....

    • Defining the Word Friend

      • Baby in bunny suit and friend, pattern english/italiano

        Honest, fun, loyal, dependable, smart, creative, humorous, trustworthy, safe, compassionate, deep connection/engagement with life, evolving, inquisitive, etc. Those are the major qualities and traits my friends have in common.

        Friends are a reflection of who you are at the duration of that period of who you choose to be. No one friend is an exact mirror of self but each have a common interest to share, nourish, and challenge. Friends will either evolve with or without you...good, bad, or indifferent.
