So I've been working on my GLBT presentation for Friday. It's really interesting. It's been such a chill day. I love rainy days! I stayed in with my grandma. I'm so excited because I got these new different colored pigment samples from BFTE Cosmetics -- All Natural Mineral Makeup! I can't wait to try them out. I am feeling extra lazy and do not feel like going to my belly dance class tonight. I honestly just want to be a couch potatoe today and watch tv, a good movie, or catch up on my reading. I have a pile of books I've bought to read for leisure and haven't quite gotten around to doing much reading. I never get to do that because I'm always doing something, and it's usually school related.

Bliss: A last meeting.

That looks so peaceful. I wish I was there right now... breathing all that fresh air in with Jack Johnson, Norah Jones, Emiliana Torrini, Amos Lee, or John Mayer playing in the background. Those are the artists that would vivify that moment of clarity and serenity upon me, along with the sound of waves. I could sure use it.

I just woke up from a very....long nap! It felt so good but I'm still tired and sleepy. But I must start on a paper for my Practice class. I can see myself not sleeping tonight or for the next couple of days. That seems to be the normal thing for me to do as of lately. Well, not really. I'm kind of nocturnal. I feel best and function better at night anyway. Today was such an intense day. Sometimes I wonder why I'm in this field. Then I just have to remind myself the love I have for humanity and the desire to make a difference in this crazy world where everyone else just seems to not care or disregard really important issues.

I really feel for my clients, especially the children. They feel greatly at fault for their parent's actions, mistakes, and irresponsibilities. There are a million factors to take into consideration, though. I should make a post about that alone one of these days. Quite frankly, today, I was not at my best. I like to give my clients all of me, and I usually do. I want to really be able to feel what they feel so that I can connect with them and help them in some way. But today, it was almost as if I really wasn't there. Well, my mind, at least. This is the first time this happens to me. My client felt good at the end of the session and was very happy and thankful for the time I gave them. The session actually lasted 2 hours. It's only supposed to be 1 :-x, but she really needed to vent. I'm learning.

I've been a little irritated these past few days. I'm just tired of a lot of things. Lately, I've just been keeping to myself which is not all that bad. I bought different shades of yellow over the weekend to try different makeup looks. I'm trying to make more time for that because I need to practice more on people in order to get my business rolling. There's always new techniques that can be applied. The best thing I like about makeup is that you can be so creative with it. There are no rules and there's inspiration everywhere.

Love and blessings,

Brenda
