I finally have a weekend to my self!

And it's cost me dearly, but I frankly don't care at this point. I have a huge, repeat, HUGE week next week and all I want is time to be self-indulgent, space to be reflective, and good company surrounding me while I let my hair down. I have been far too hard on myself for the past few months and now that I have this new post-eclipse space in my life, I am going to Breathe, Celebrate, and Prepare.



The big things brewing next week are (in no particular order):

• Final interview w/Senior Managment to discuss the new position (and new pay, yeah baby!)
  
• Tibetan House Carnegie Hall Concert Volunteer Meeting (Tuesday)


• Tibetan House Carnegie Hall Concert, itself (Wednesday)


• The Red Party: Sweet Love Hangover a wonderful fundraiser for Big Apple Roundup


• Touring the new Job Site and seeing just how terrible this open air, outside hoist is going to be.

It's a big week. And I have alot of personal cleansing that's overdue as well so I'm trying to remind myself to slow down. It doesn't all have to be figured out and finished right this minute. I do plan of getting my hair done (upstairs and downstairs lol), taking classes at Prana Power Yoga (I need the heat and the spiritual community), shopping for new work clothes and a new dress or five, and lunching with a collection of the loved ones I've been neglecting during the last two months. And meetings! How could I have forgotten the meetings? :)

But it's all flexible. I could take or leave any part of that schedule, it's completely up to me. That's really the most important part, being able to identify and attend to my own needs w/o getting guilt tripped over it. So in reality I'll probably do half of that and spend the rest of my time meditating and eating lots of homemade vegan food.

Which leads me kind of off-topic but I feel it's worth mentioning. I am so tired of eating restaurant vegan food! It's so overpriced, it never tastes as good as what I would make, and I have no control over the ingredients. I can't be sure things are organic, clean, you know. Lately I've been crazy into lentils (always yummy and easy to make extras for lunch) and as always GREEN FLIPPING SMOOTHIES!

I've found that my natural way of eating is really simple, really clean, and fairly inexpensive. I like green smoothies, fresh coconut anything, and a handful of tasty vegan gourmet cooked dishes. Easy Peasy. Throw in plentiful amounts of fresh fruits and veggies and a wee amount of soy and you have my daily nosh. The only time things get complicated is when I try to get everything from restaurants. Food for thought, no?

In conclusion: TGIF. Seriously. I am so appreciative of the R & R. Don't expect any word from me until Monday morning, my loves! I shall be luxuriating....
