Jan 2012

Thank you. I purged. I cleansed. I centered. 1/12th of an amazing year under my belt.

There is something great about going through one's belongings and donating the clothing, shoes, etc. that you don't wear. This year I supported Housing Works and Dress for Success. I also (finally) got rid of all my old electronics that needed to be trashed. I was able to participate in a local drop off sponsored by The Lower East Side Ecology Center, which besides E-cycling does amazing stuff generally!

In January I:

*Played my guitar some

*Read:
Five Chiefs
The History of the Twentieth Century

*Saw:
Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same
Iron Lady
How the World Began
Phantom of the Opera (wanted to do that since age 12)
Faust
The Pruitt-Igoe Myth
Norwegian Wood


*Completed an amazing cleanse

*Completed a Cross Fit class and will register once I'm back from Kenya

*Had a series of amazing dinners (and lunches) with friends

*Continued progress on the job and consulting front, received an acceptance to sit for the Foreign Service Exam

*Kenya prep including some trips to REI and Paragon (niether of which I am allowed in for the next 6 months- I am a way too "geared out")and getting all of my vaccines

*Registered for the Brooklyn Bridge Swim

*Attended political fundraisers, was elected President of Lambda Independent Democrats (LID), and participated in an increased involvement with Trevor Project NextGen.

February, I am excited for an equally great 2nd month - I mean, I'm going to Kenya...I'm thrilled!
