a little sweeping....

i am having a spring cleaning bonanza....literally and mentally....and it's so invigorating!

i am trying to remove the negative inside of me and around me .

i am cleaning out my closets. literally. i have filled up 5 bags full of clothes, shoes, and bags to give to those in need. this feels good on multiple levels because obviously there are people who have very little and if I can help them out than that's pretty fantastic and also on maybe a more selfish note it makes me feel good because many of these clothes are too big for me. in the past two years i have lost 56 pounds and it feels awesome on so many levels :)

i am cleaning up my life in a sense of reflecting on the past year and how much has changed. i have been through a lot in the past year personally wise - with friends - and it has been a tumultuous year but nonetheless a GREAT year, where I learned a lot about myself and about those close to me. i am ever so thankful for those whom I hold close to my heart.

AND i am proud to have kept my goal of traveling and exploring in 2009 going. Every month I promised to get myself away for at least an overnight stay outside of NY. And I have held true to this. It is important to get away and reflect, and relax and spend time with yourself and with a loved one or many loved ones :) I have not yet decided where May will take me but I look forward to it.
