New year

Hello 2012. That has a nice ring to it. Twenty twelve. OK, yes, it's been 2012 for a few months now, but I'm still marvelling at it. And what a year it will be! I'm running my own business! It's a leap year! My fabulous boyfriend is moving in! The world will not end! Obama is going to be re-elected! I will learn to control the flow of my chi! I'M GOING TO TURN FORTY! Does that mean I'm an adult?

LEAPT!

This is the first week Eva Dawson, Translator is in full-time operation! I'm in charge now. This is going to be interesting.

Vancouver, again

For the second time in 2011, me revoilà in Vancouver.

It's okay that it's raining. That's what Vancouver does. At least I get a break from winter boots for a while.

Inner voice: HEY! Stop that. Writing about the weather? Come on, you're above that. You hate it when people talk about the weather because they have nothing better to say.

Me: You're right, inner voice. Sorry about that.

Yesterday I had lunch with high school friends Jeremy and Meera. I found it interesting how we all kind of made excuses for what we were doing or not doing with our lives. I want to be more free-spirited and less attached to material things. I want to be able to take risks without making myself sick with fear. I want to re-learn how to live cheaply. I want to stop wanting and start doing.
