{AW} a tag
I was tagged by Blue Dog to share the following:
Four wishes, dreams, and desires
1) a trip back to maui without the worry of financial debt
2) to own a bookstore/pajama shop/coffee shop
3) to have a yoga studio above the afore-mentioned shop
4) to maybe, some day, have a child
Four imaginary lives
1) a mermaid
2) a photographer who travels around the world
3) a broadway singer/dancer
4) the first female president
Four things I should change
1) to take even better care of this temple that is my body
2) my negative self-talk
3) let go of more "stuff" - emotional, physical, material
4) love more, judge less
Four people I admire
1) SARK - her honest, creative, inspiring way.
2) my friend heather - her strength and courage. she always invites me to grow, be more than I am, and she never judges as I share my innermost demons, secrets, dreams, hopes.
3) my brother - as he follows his dream, he teaches me to let go and live more. as he searches inside himself for truth and understanding, he reminds me that i have the tools to do the same.
4) my friend juli - i trust her with my life. and i am sometimes in awe that she invites this kind of trust.
Four things i like about the artist way
1) i feel that i have permission to find this artist inside me.
2) the sense of community - so many other bloggers are out there following this same path, at least for these 12 weeks.
3) the idea that i am not alone in this hope to find a connection with myself and others.
4) artist dates. artist dates. artist dates.
Four things i still hope to get out of the artist way
1) the habit of morning pages.
2) permission to let this artist inside of me begin to create.
3) a continued sense of this community.
4) the habit of morning pages (yes, I really do want this to become a habit, so maybe, if i write it here again, it will begin to germinate into more than just a seed of an idea).
Who inspires you? What imaginary life do you wish you were living? What would you change?

A bookstore AND coffee AND pajama shop? It's too good to be true.
I wanted to be a mermaid too!!!
In my next life, I'm going to be a Broadway singer/dancer. Or maybe that will be my girl's life. (=
I would love to have a bookstore someday as well and if only I would take better care of my body ~ sigh.
Happy Valentines Day!!!! My next life I will be a rock and roll star! (who is also an artist)
Happy Valentine's Day. I find myself coming back here and I don't know if I've ever left you a comment - but I really like your blog. Especially the senses series - what a nice idea and you write it like I'm there with you. I'm going to add mermaid to my imaginary lives list because that might be the ultimate!
can i come to your bookstore and drink a warm cup of chai while wearing my pjs? that would be fantastic! and could i bring my pillow too, you know, for laying down while reading...
When I was a kid I always wanted to be a kangaroo! Imaginary lives: Professional Athlete; Dancer; Rockstar; Astronaut. The late actress Ruth Gordon (Harold & Maude, Rosemary's Baby) remains a great inspiration to me. She was crazy fiesty! What I'd change...hmmmm...my %$#& attitude. What? Oh...I can actually do that! Here's to your manifesting your bookstore and PJ cafe. What would you call your shop?
ooh--a mermaid is a good idea. to swim and roll around in the ocean would feel so nice.
and if you run for presidency--i promise to vote for you! i definately think it's time for a woman to run this country. :)
thanks for doing the tag. i enjoyed reading your answers!
