I am learning that life is an act of will, followed by getting off your ass and moving. Thus, I will:
Sit on the beach with little kids and make a sandcastle
Walk slowly through a warm green morning, enjoying the beauty of the day, sipping coffee
Spend an entire Sunday lying around naked, listening to music
Wander through museums for hours, taking all the unscheduled hours I wish, to really be with all that I see
Write even more stupid, lousy poetry because it feels good
Listen to more live music because it's good for the body and the soul
Keep my hair ridiculously long no matter what people think about what's proper for my "age group"
See art everywhere
Be awed at the truth that artists reveal, and all the ways they do it
Help artists whenever I can because they remind us why we're here
Be moved to tears and laughter by everyday interactions
Embrace my passionate nature instead of hiding it
Laugh, laugh and laugh some more
Kiss as if my life depended on it
Continue to embrace change with my actions and not just my words
Be the queen of flip flops and a tank top
Be 49 and sexy.
Accept my past, even the colossal failures
Go where the flowers are. See them, smell them, take a million pictures, plant them, love them, grow them because they make my heart sing
Be completely "out" at all times about being a crazy, witchy, pagan, earth spirit, angel freak
Create something every day
Stop looking for validation from outside or upside. If it's right, it's right and it doesn't matter what others think, or what the little fearful voice inside thinks. I am connected and I WILL make the decision. Regardless of the outcome, I am still connected. So I choose to live, and love.
Remember that the odds don't matter.
Never again give up something beautiful because of fear.
Literally hug trees
Go where my heart and soul lead me, no matter what
Forgive others
Forgive myself
Wander around in the woods even more than I already do
Do Reiki daily
Always do my morning and evening rituals
Sing as often as possible
Perform random acts of kindness every day
Be thankful for all of the people I am blessed to know
Remember my wings
Stand in my personal power
Call Michael if I am scared
Paint, color, sculpt, or any other art form I want to try. Not because I am especially talented. Just because creating feels good and frees up energy.
Discard and donate what is not needed
Be compassionate and loving but firm when change must occur, so that I may help others to adjust.
Stop with the white knuckled control deal
Make full eye contact even more
Have fun
Skinny Dip
Go Zip lining!
Walk the beach
Enjoy classic movies
Sit by streams, rivers and lakes
Believe
What are you going to do!?

I will:
Try to read this blog post as often as I can.
Try to convince myself that, even at 71+ some things can be done and enjoyed.
Try not to miss a single "tweet" of yours.
Thank you so very much ! <3
