				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.” – Henry David Thoreau</p>
<p>I had always been a tad off beat, a little backwards reading most books, and articles from back to front to know the outcome before the cause. I wanted to feel safe in knowing that what I was spending my time reading, and learning was really worth my energy. I think it was a sort of safety mechanism. “What happens if I read this, and by the end what I have learned gets me nowhere?” “If I get nothing from this what was the point?” So after moving to New York City a year, and some months ago now, I have taken on more of an iridescent view on life, really seeing there is more than meets thee eye to the outcome of anything, and that there is more to be learned in the cause. I look back thinking how ignorant it really was of me to think of receiving an outcome before a cause, how could I really enjoy the fruits with out the labor anyway? It’s a sobering beauty, life and it’s lessons being able to get through the scrambled, the erratic, the deranged, and the delirious. Letting the dust settle to see, and most importantly feel the difference, and knowing the importance to its reason. What a relief huh? Discipline, and a little ingenuity pay off! Metaphorically speaking the outcome of the books we read we may not enjoy, we may not appreciate, and we may not agree with, but the cause from page one into the final chapter tell tale to how we arrived there, and that my friends is most important. When latter days come, and life does it’s circular motion it will always do the same synopsis will show it’s pages, and it is our job to not take our lessons in vein, but the second time around to make a rational, intelligent decision with ALL the information&#8230; And so life becomes an intuitive read&#8230; Metaphorically Speaking</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The eve of this new year brings me great joy and excitement! I couldn&#8217;t have asked for a more fulfilling 2011. For this new year, my new years resolution&#8230; Is to just keep pushin’ forward and to stay on my steady path to great unconditional love, relationships, and success in my art! I feel beautiful things for myself, my loved ones, and the world. I feel 2011 has helped us shift, has helped lights shine, has cleared roads, made paths, has broken some of us down so intensely that our uphill climb may now begin. 2011 has enabled us to be a little less fearful of taking chances and moving outside the box. It has set us up strong! I believe we should all take strong consideration into what we pray for this year. What boils our blood or thins our tears? All of our yearning desires must be put into account because, for some reason, this year just feels so right, so plenty, so huge in such a lovely way&#8230; This is not a year for time. This is the time for a year&#8230; Amen~</p>
