My Spirit is Bright

That sounds like the lyrics to a church hymn, but you know what I'm finding out? When I'm listening and engaging my higher self, the world seems brighter and everything is more clear. Food is not fear, it is love and so much more enjoyable when I'm not eating it in excess. I've been cooking and baking up a storm, which is obvious from the looks of my kitchen, and I truly love it more than I ever have. And not only that, but I'm excited about life in a way that I never have been. I drank the kool-aid guys.

When I listen and follow what  I need and want in my life, I wake up clear and excited for the day. It feels like opening the windows on the first day of spring. Is anyone else experiencing this after reading Brain Over Binge? I'd love to hear about it.

Lately, I have the energy to do make things happen. Things that I normally get so overwhelmed with and just put on the back burner. One of my dreams has been to create and maintain a creative living blog, so I've been polishing off my Beautiful Layers blog these past couple of days. It's hard to believe I've had that domain for seven years, and this one for six. What the what?

Other stuff that's happening? I'm seriously thinking about returning to University to finish my degree in fine arts/ graphic design. After watching my bff Jas graduate with honors, I was seriously encouraged and inspired to finish my degree. I feel like I am in a different place now than I was when I first when to college. I also feel like I'm more capable of learning and studying new information without the whole rebellious streak. We'll see.

Today I'm getting back into exercising after taking a week off due to a wonky back, which is now on the mend.
