resolve

It is a collage.

the mission; to make
a beautiful life out of all this,
hurt and anger, and surprise.

the cause; to see yourself
-away from the mirror

in the eyes of the known
and in the eyes of the unknown

kansas is beautiful !

I love you,
-abena

Your horoscope for October 17, 2011

Don't rely too much on your head for all the answers today, Abena. The key lies in your heart. More than likely, if you take an approach that is analytical and grounded, you will quickly become frustrated by your lack of progress. The way to get things done today is to trust your intuition and tap into your psychic nature. There is a powerhouse of force waiting for you as soon as you do.

an update on my general life and feelings



The year before last was an incredibly tough time for me. It was one of those 'everything that could possibly go wrong, IS' years. With the exception of my sojourning across America , I struggled to find peace of mind. Starting from absolute scratch I planned on rebuilding my life; I went back to school, moved out of the city, learned guitar, found meaningful employment, started a studio and gallery, started working out, reconnected my family, and reconnected with my community and made a tonne of new friends! Its been a pretty good year over all, I'm so grateful for the fresh start.

But, somehow I find myself off track again. There is and was so much more I wanted to accomplish that got overlooked. So many of my goals have been circling around me for years now. It frustrates and concerns me why I have yet to conquer them?

I'd like to get over the hill. And when I do?

Sometimes, I feel scared life will never be more then falafel sandwiches, and..

listening to people use the term 'social media'.

I'd like to trust in something sincere. and..

I'd like the discipline to hold on to it.

good
