MG: I have never heard of Veggie Booty, but it sounds hot. Anyway, I also wanted to tell you that I like your screen name. I don't know how much you are into the moon, but I have a lunar calendar and I study the moon's phases religiously and measure time by the moon. I used to have this big goal of having my period and the moon be in perfect synch, but it hasn't happened yet. Maybe once that happens, I will have reached enlightenment.
Or maybe I should just become a scientologist....
Also, I liked what you wrote in the beginning of your journal, that you want your outside to match your inside, and that is well put. I have put a lot of effort into expanding my mind and spirit, but the fact is that our physical selves are the first thing people see and people put a lot of judgement into appearance. Someone can be the most brilliant, smart, enlightened person in the world, but many people won't even care to notice if the physical body doesn't also look beautiful. At least in American culture anyway, and I haven't lived in any other places, really.
I do meditation every day and it has helped me a lot. If I can stick to a schedule and remind myself of what I have mediatated on in the morning throughout the day it helps. I try to be very mindful of everything, so that I am in a meditative state whenever I do anything. This is very hard though, easy to become unmindful and unbalanced. But I try.
Are you doing the Feb Challenge? I forget... you may have said somewhere in your diary...
