weekly update no. 1

picture: russ rolling cord. we recorded a few songs tonight, which was really fun. we don't have space to leave the stuff out all the time, so russ cleaned up after.

this week went really well. i found the fasting from the internet to be really healthy for me. i didn't necessarily make a lot of art this past week, but i felt better about myself and more emotionally honest.

doing the yoga daily was refreshing and i actually felt like time was passing at a reasonable pace, rather than the blur it had become. i was able to breathe. to hear myself think. to be inspired.

and i baked! i didn't take pictures, but i made chocolate chip banana bread this week, which was so yummy! and peach cobbler last night. i feel like myself again. i hadn't cooked with pleasure in months.

i also listened to two podcasts this week that were really enlightening and inspiring to me:

krista tippett talking to rachel naomi remen

and

grace and peace - a talk by rob bell

both of these targeted issues of identity and purpose, things with which i often struggle. they were both encouraging and both brought a sense of clarity. so i thought i'd share. they're really both worth listening to.

i also posted some new pictures online. i made a new painting recently that i hadn't photographed, and some around the house shots too.

hope everyone's well. i'll be back next weekend!
namaste,
sam
