Oh, Universe in Never Say Never

I ended last year and began this one with one intent: Find something new in old spaces.

This started in the fall with a return to basics in my yoga classes. I slowed it was the fuck down and challenged myself to discover new experiences in basic poses I’ve done thousands of times. I’m still doing it, still finding a new sensation in an old experience by being still, holding longer, breathing deeper. It’s incredible and I love it.

But only this morning did I realize that the universe heard this call and began to deliver opportunities to live this intent in other ways.

First: this new project. The job I am in now is a challenging position at a company I first began working at in 2002. It’s exactly finding something new in an old space!

Second: my living situation. After a couple of weeks of thinking about selling, talking to two realtors and a lender, going to some open houses, and poking around Zillow for way too many hours, I decided to stay put and make some changes to the space. It’s precisely the definition of finding something new in an old space!

Third: the diaries. It struck me this morning that doing the thing I said I wouldn’t do — go back to OD — is a call to find something new in an old space. And with that in mind, I will reclaim my diary, try not to spend too much time reading entries from a time when my heart was wrung out like a rag, and find you all there.
