SISTERHOOD. day 6 and 7 and 359 to go...

well yesterday i took 'the day off' from blogging. i actually missed it.
but i spent the day getting myself organized. no wait, i did that today. yesterday (saturday) i stayed in bed for most of the day. i went to spynga then came home and slept. it's amazing how much time you have on your hands when you eliminate bad habits from your life. seriously. think about it.

but today, i woke up went to a work out class with tova. went grocery shopping. cleaned my room. did laundry. and participated in THE CANADIAN BLACK FILM FESTIVAL where my short film titled 'the first time' was screened before, Embracing 'da Kink.
I watched that documentary for the first time again today.

wow. da Kink in my Hair. from 2002 to 2009 wow. what a journey. i rarely think about what we've done or even talk about it. i still feel as though i am moving forward and there is so much more to come. that constant focus leaves little time to reflect. but today, watching it reminded me of what i believe.

i DO believe in sisterhood & friendship and what we can accomplish when we support one another. and really my philosophy is to give, give give, what you want to receive. and its true over the course of time i have been disappointed at times but what i know for sure is when you give of yourself- the joy of giving can never be taken away from you. giving without expectations. and disappointment is a function of our expectations...
so give freely.


in my short film 'the first time' i talk to two very unlikely subjects about their first sexual encounter...i was asked to do more with that. i will. because, talking - really talking to each other is so healing. telling each other the truth about our experiences sharing with each other.

i sat on a panel afterward and someone asked us if we were healed. i was stumped as to how to answer that question. i feel healthy you see. but i know the journey continues. and the life journey is always about getting better. not getting better than someone else. but get better than your former self. so that's today. and tomorrow...
