Hey. Writers.

You can finish the thing. The draft, the book, the poem, the short story.

It's not bigger than you, it doesn't deserve better than your best, it's just fucking words and that is what you are good at.

So finish it.

do the hobby. the one you keep saying you'll get back to when things settle down. things might not settle down. do it now

LEATHERMOUTH ERA FRANK IERO, IT’S YOUR TIME TO SHINE, BABY!

[galadriel1010]

There comes a point in life where you have to accept that if you want something to exist, you have to do it yourself. Many people, alas, sail through this point without noticing it. This obviously applies to the fic you want to read and the art you want to see, but it also applies to the communities you want to be part of.

I, for example, can't be bothered by most queer community culture. It's too loud, I don't like modern drag, the only queer musicians I want to listen to are Aaron Copeland, Tchaikovsky and Marin Alsop (maybe Ben Britten, but only the YPG), and I prefer tea and cake to vodka. This, regrettably, means that I am going to have to get off my backside, find a venue, make the arrangements, print some fliers, put an event up on Facebook and Eventbrite, and turn up to something more suited to my Victorian temperament.

But the fun thing is, you can just Do That. You can just find a cafe or community centre or inclusive church or whatever and say "Hey, I would like to start a queer knit and natter, can I use your space?" and one of them will say yes. It's kind of great.

Which reminds me, I need to email my local Large Public Space about organising a knit in public event for next year.

I scheduled an arm balance workshop for tonight after work last month. It’s something I really want to lock down in my yoga practice.

It was humbling and challenging at the same time. I’ve missed challenging myself physically. It’s been nice starting that back up again.

I’m 6 months post op, give or take, and I feel as well as I suppose I will. I’ve been lax on heavier strength training and more advanced yoga. I’m ready to pivot that. It’s something I’ve missed.

I teach a class weekly, yoga that is, and I whooped their arses this week. Didn’t realize I had done so? So I definitely have a foundation of strength. The arm balances though, are on another level - at least for me. So, I’m saying it here, it’s my next goal.

Not sure I mentioned it previously, my co-chair at the non-profit studio, asked me to teach a class at a retreat she hosted (again yoga, matter fact, it’s all yoga - whole post) several weekends back.

Teaching is still something that I have to decide before each class I can do. It has pushed me out of my comfort zone. I teach at a cozy studio, and my class sizes range from 2-8 most times. The retreat was over 20 or so people. By and large the largest class I’ve taught.

It went really well. I awake dreamed the whole sequence that I taught, and I practiced it prior to get a music plan.

You know I quote beastie boys and wear my Peg Bundy leggings friends. You already know.

It’s been a good week.

Headed this weekend to pick up the windows my brother sat aside for me for this idea C and I have for a greenhouse. That’ll be fun. The back porch is patched from the ice storms in January, and the material is ordered, just this area is COVERED UP with repairs at the moment. It’ll prob be a bit longer.

Still sorting the upstairs.

Converted the raised garden boxes in the front to flower beds. The deer ate everything last year. EVERYTHING. So I’m going to put a row or two of some stuff in the back and just bloom it loud and proud out front this season.

Example is this tulip bed. I’ll add more because I want each bed bursting with color an blossoms and each bed is a different flower.

Anywho, that’s some of the haps. Be well, live well xx
