Hi rare reader - although this blog is something like 15 years old, I know I rarely post and rarely (never?) seem to have readers. So if you are reading this you are super special and I applaud you!
I am in Taos.
I am alone in Taos, subletting a way-out-in-the-middle-of-nowhere house, with a generously provided pottery shed. I am alone in Taos (well, an hour north of Taos in the middle of nowhere) following my bliss. My household where I actually live consists of one grown daughter, my 93 year old mom, a geriatric dog and my long suffering husband. My household is loving, but chaotic and full of conversation and trips to walk the dog, get coffee, buy a last minute grocery item, and constant input.
This Taos month is a household of only one, me.
I am here to be alone. and it is, actually, quite lonely.
I am here to follow my bliss into a higher level of ceramic skill; I am taking an intermediate throwing class at the Taos Ceramic Center, and vowing to practice every day. Our first week was cylinders. Look at my cylinders! (See above.)
I am here in my own little Eat, Pray, Love retreat to find my happiness and find my focus. At home my mind is all over the place, often not great places; and even though I meditate and walk and shamanic journey and nap and try to eat right and make myself socialize at least once a week, and do all the things, I always have an urge to travel, to leave, to be somewhere else.
Thanks to Liz Gilbert, I know I am not the only one who needs these escapes. Maybe a month was a bit ambitious, I really am missing my family, but it is so good for me to have this reset.
Reset is healthy. Reset is very good for your spirit. Reset is to rethink goals and dreams and ideas. This reset is lonely, but here I am, finding my bliss.
What is your bliss? How do you find it?
