The Essence of Om

That I am a go-getter would surprise no one. I am learning to speak Italian, play the guitar, and bellydance. I am taking some cooking classes at Sur La Table this month (and I'm very excited about all of it). Everyone tends to make New Year's resolutions about things they think they should avoid, or other things they think they should do, but I find resolutions to be highly ineffective. Instead of actually propelling you to DO these things, it creates resistance and a feeling of obligation. If you really wanted to do what's on your list, you would just go out there and DO them and not wait for "someday."
What about TOday? Why wait for someday? And if the idea of doing it doesn't excite you and fill you with passion, why not cross it off your to-do list.

I told a friend of mine that i was taking these cooking classes and he said, "Neat. Someday, when I get a bigger kitchen, I want to learn to cook." I told him that he doesn't have to put it off and that the kitchen was just an excuse. If it were really important to him, he could do it NOW, and if it's not important to him, then that's okay, but to at least be honest with himself.

And in that spirit, I've been thinking about buying or starting up my own little spiritual/metaphysical store/healing center and I finally chose a name I think I really like, AND I registered it on the web (I now am the proud owner of 2 website domain names!) Now to figure out how to set up a website, and to get a logo, and write the business plan (which I've started) and get the investors/loans and find a location and start buying inventory...

Yes. I have a long road ahead of me, but it's something I am passionate about and am excited to be doing.

I'm sorry for the rambly, jumbly message, but I just wanted to put this all out there so you all could put some good mojo into the world for me. Thank you!

Love and Light!
