Thanks – I'll certainly let you know when there's new work to see. I have been working, and documenting, but current phases are quite repetitive and thus not particularly interesting to view. I'm amused by post of 2 weeks ago – just painting! Right. That was before I discovered audio …

YES: synchronization is happening all around us, without any effort or fore-choreography. I am out of touch with seasonality her in LA–wonder what a good SNOW would do to reset my brain? I can't wait to see new work from you. Be sure to post a notice.

While contemplating this post I realized that finishing my 21-day challenge on 10/22 (interview day!) began a season of wrapping-up … travel, getting my studio set up, etc (I feel a blog post coming on). Appropriate, I guess, since the year itself is wrapping up. I love the rhythms of seasonality. Anyhoo, the 21-day challenge format I've been using (doing something EVERY day for a shorter period of time) provides a kick-start into habits, but isn't sustainable as is, so for the rest of the year I'll be working to get my exercise routines into a sustainable pattern. Also, I'm w/ Emily Sarah in terms of being gentle for the rest of the year. Since my studio is finally functional, I want to paint and that's about it, other than navigating the holidays. But I also like the idea of having an area of focus for each month next year … will have to put that one in the stew pot for a few weeks!

Wonderful! As Tanya mentioned, declaring something — and having that accountability — is powerful. And I think it would be awesome to echo Suzie by deciding to be a “serial” 40-day-challenger. With being behind because of the flu AND with holidays coming up, I'm going to be gentle on myself the rest of this year, working on maintaining good stuff I've learned and begun … and then in January, I want to have a specific focus each month. (If I get really fired up, I may have a separate work focus, home-life focus, and mind-soul focus. Or would that be setting myself up for frustration and diffused/weakened results?!)
