get rid of whatever you can afford to get rid of.
clean out the fridge.
if you haven't worn it in 6 mos - 1yr, toss/donate it. if you're handy with a sewing machine, alter it. if you've got a great closet, organize it.
do a 24 hour water fast (health permitting).
take 10 deep breaths in a row. with each inhale, take in a positive feeling/word/image. with each exhale, release negative thoughts/feelings. another way: inhale positives, exhale gratitude.
let it go. all of it. make room.
*remember: the postings are spread over about 90 calendar days, so ideas that could take a few days or more will get 2-3 numbers to make up for it. this one will also span 2 calendar days. Happy New Year!

idea #16-18 - count your blessings*
an oldie, but goodie.
do it silently or aloud.
every day or every other day.
do it when you're smiling
and when you're in tears.
be thankful for the mundane, the miracle, the special and the usual.
gratitude really does do wonders for your spirit. and it's a wonderful way to prepare for the solstice and new year.
try it!

100 ideas - the beginning
i have this tendency to come up with ideas, most of which i have no actual desire to execute.
so, i figured maybe i could bother you with them, thus clearing my head and assisting in keeping my own creativity flowing. everybody wins!
beginning with the december 5th new moon and ending on the march 4th new moon, i will be posting an idea a day, for a total of 100 ideas {for folks paying attention, technically that's only 91 days, so there will be some doubling and tripling up}.
it might be a writing prompt.
it might be an outline for something larger.
it might be a link to blog, website, or tweet.
it might be a reminder of ideas you've heard before.
these ideas are meant to act as seeds, encouraging growth. some you might want to plant yourself. others you might want to share with someone else.
take on 1, 20, 40, 99 of them...or none at all. it's all up to you.
why do this from new moon to new moon? traditionally, the new moon is used as a time for planting and/or new beginnings, so that the seeds/notions can grow with the waxing moon. the waning moon (from full to new) is best for cleansing, purging, and pruning.
i hope you'll enjoy reading the ideas as much as i hope to enjoy posting them.
let's go! (c) casamena
...with many thanks to the sistafriend who suggested this notion and planted a seed herself.

the longing
what follows is a freewrite/stream of consciousness.
i shared it with some close friends a little over a year ago and just re-discovered it. i am releasing it now, slightly edited, because it is still true; because these holes are still deep, aching and open.
because the release is the only thing that has ever truly soothed my soul. because there are many days when honesty and transparency are all i have.
because my soul is not satisfied.

reality
i have a serious thing about fulfillment. i am not a pleasant person when i am unhappy or dissatisfied.
i don't expect to be free of desire, nor do i see the absence of desire as a natural state--unless your desire is warped into addiction.
if and when i begin to feel dissatisfied or distressed, i'm learning to shift reality, to make things look, sound and feel the way i want and expect them to.
i think people get caught up in understanding that process in a negative sense, i.e., you have to hurt or harm others to achieve that goal.
you don't.
you do not have to universally impose your will to achieve your bliss.
the universe has created a space for you--you do the work to find or open that space.
the need to bend others to your will is a sign of weakness and laziness. conquering isn't the same as mastering.
i don't need to make over anything not worth my ashe.
i voice the desire, i move towards the space.
the worlds of work and drudgery will never act as mother.
the earth and the universe will.
