A breath of fresh air...

I feel envigorated and ready to challenge my body, to push it to the limit. I'm ready to be empowered, energetic, athletic and happy. The outer shell is in many ways reflective of our inner souls. The beauty and love we feel for another is reflected in the very heart, the core of their being. Finding adoration in the eyes and smile of your beloved, their gentle softness is created through the formation of their kindness, not the aesthetic or contour of an iris or cheek bone. I am ready to fully accept myself and that of others. I am tired of critically judging my own weaknesses.
I no longer desire the emptiness of comfort eating and gorging in order to reflect my despair and self loathing. I am grateful for the loved ones in my life and the woman I have become, we all need to cherish who we are.
I am liberated and free.

2010. I'm scared.

I have not blogged in here in a terribly long time, and I am pleased to be back because I can feel that 2010 is a year of great change for me spiritually, artistically and also academically. I'm undertaking a Master in Teaching and nervous about training as a high school art teacher!
I hope that everyone is feeling wonderful and enjoying life, we all need to be happy and have something to strive for otherwise what is the point?
I feel rejuvinated and ready to start many projects, I need to train up my artistic skills in order to be the best teacher possible, I think I'll concentrate on the disciplines of creative and life drawing, etching and painting, and dabble a little in ceramics and sculpture also.
I'm looking forward to bellydancing this year and doing some volunteer work here and there.
I want to make a difference, I hope that I can. I love teenagers and feel happy helping and nurturing people, I want to inspire kids though, not babysit them and let them walk away from my class having learnt nothing. I'm terrified.
