14. My heart is tender and sensitive, and I cannot remember a moment in my life when it did not ache.
15. I have had to edit #1 about five times since I started writing this because the number keeps getting bigger.
16. Raw chocolate, avocados, berries, and coconuts, are some of my favorite foods.
17. Practicing Yoga with my teacher Dharma Mittra while eating a 99% raw vegan diet in 2006 in New York City transformed my being more quickly and profoundly than anything else I have done.
18. I yearn for so many things – complete union with the divine, fulfilling livelihood, a sense of purpose, a close circle of women friends, singing in front of large audiences, feeling fully supported and empowered, a deeper connection with Nature, growing my own food, living in a place where I feel that I truly belong, living more simply…
19. I’m constantly alarmed by all the plastic I see everywhere.
20. I wonder if our species will die out because we are acting like such idiots.
21. I don’t know where I want to live, or if I want to be in school next semester (which starts in a week), but I’m only mildly concerned.
22. I am in the process of recording a children’s album with Lynwood King, the dean of my university.
23. I am a certified yoga instructor, but I have not taught yoga in a couple of years.
24. I want to start singing and sharing my own music – be the star of my own show – touch people’s hearts – inspire and uplift audiences – bare my soul on stage.
25. I am really glad that I am me.

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing, Chris!!!
Thanks Jessie :)
i love how reflective you are, how you aren't afraid to get in there and go deep! This is where our power lies, yet many are still to afraid to get still and peer inside our own milky way mysteries. lying in bed all day is a GREAT thing, especially in winter time, don't you think we did this during winter time more often too???? hibernation time... we travel into our inner darkness to find magical light pearls...

Thank you Heidi! I appreciate your appreciation. ;)
I love what you wrote: "This is where our power lies, yet many are still to afraid to get still and peer inside our own milky way mysteries."
I guess that is exactly why we are afraid of it - because it is the source of our power, and our light. And we are afraid at times to take responsibility for how powerful and bright we are. It's sometimes easier to hang out in the Land of Mediocrity. But now is the time for us to dig deep and fully realize our potential! Because there is a LOT of work to be done! ;)

I also love this that you wrote: "We travel into our inner darkness to find magical light pearls."
Yes, going deep within is the way to draw from the dark, deep, still, silent reservoir. I guess another reason this space can be unsettling is because infinite possibility can be a little scary if we think that we have to look at infinite possibility and then "figure out" which of these possibilities is the "right" one for me to choose. But when we enter that space in a surrendered way, knowing that life will live us, there is so much power in that.
