It's a been a beautiful weekend in Seattle- I am currently sitting in a coffee shop attempting to do the work I did not do during reading week. I sort of got distracted. But I also needed rest. And those are the excuses I'm sticking too. The sun is coming through the window and warming the table where I am sitting. I love the sun- and I'm happy to absorb some rays while I can.
I also read for pleasure this week- Eat, Pray, Love- I liked. It made me want to travel to Rome and gain 30 pounds. It also reminded me of the importance of finding oneself. It often feels like a selfish task when one attempts to really know who they are and yet if we do not take the time to find our "true selves" I think we waste life- or seek out drama to keep life interesting.
How do we stretch into who we need to be, and how do we get there? These are the questions that follow me around lately.

i've been resisting the idea of "finding" oneself, as if you're "out there" somewhere to be found. but coming to know yourself and "stretching" into your true self is a really cool visual, and your comment about seeking out drama (or distraction, too) to keep life interesting when we aren't living our true life... SO true. SO SO true. thanks for writing again :)
