Fashion Project 333

Friday, I came across this project and thought it would be great to try.  I've been trying to live a minimalist life, so I have been evaluating all my processes and possessions, to only keep what I love around me.  Today I decided to go through my closet to whittle down to 33 things that I will wear for 3 months.  Hence the 333.  All I can say is OMG, this is hard.  I got down to 35 items of clothing - I haven't even tackled the shoes, handbags and jewelry yet.  I am sorely over budget.  I didn't think it would be this hard to choose 33 things.  Maybe I should make a list first then slash.  I think that's the only way I'll be able to do it.  This requires a ruthlessness even I find hard to muster.  I will soldier on though.  I can't let this challenge get the better of me!

Everybody was Kung fu fighting! Huah!

Today was my first Kung Fu class.  Huh? What? Yes, Kung fu!  Watching Bruce Lee, and other martial arts films growing up, got me so excited to try it...and I found a school close to work and home.  It was awesome!!!!!  I learned so many things, and realized that there is so much more to learn.  I only did the basics.  But yet I am so very excited - did I say I was excited?  Yeah, I will be a regular Bruce Leeann by the time I'm through.  And it doesn't hurt that in addition to self-defense, and discipline, it is great exercise.  I'm on this road to good health this year.  The program is 7 months, we'll see what things look like by next spring.  Can you say FIT????
I'm 37 years old - I am having a life evaluation intensive going on.  Looking at all the past unfulfilled desires and letting go of the baggage I picked up along the way on this highway called Life.  I'm all about traveling light, cause those who travel lightest, travel farthest.  And as I'm envisioning my my own path, I need discipline to stay focused.  And that's what I intend to do.  I am packing as much in as humanly possible, as I'm looking down the road and seeing I don't have the luxury of leisure as a younger me would have.  To do this trip to the moon, I need to be in some kind of physical shape to withstand the Gforce.  It's all about clearing out the old - beliefs, priorities, way of living, ways of thinking and doing, to make room for me, my way of living, my philosopy, my theories.  At the end of the day, and at the end of life, no one congratulates themselves on how they lived up to someone else's standards, but that they found their definition of happiness.
