for some reason, i set a few resolutions for myself on my drive home this evening after work. new year's resolution-ish. in the middle of the year. and i decided that i am going to follow through on these ones. asap. no matter how trivial they may seem to the onlooker, they all hold some level of meaning to me. and it's simply about time i've tackled them.
so immediately:
1. move out. into my own place. preferably downtown chicago. preferably wicker park.
2. join a worship team. or somehow figure out how to sing as a servant again. now that i am settled in back here.
3. paint some pieces. with scenes i have been itching to get out on canvas finally. it's time.
4. start a photoblog to keep track of the wedding/engagement shoots and to direct future clients to.
long term:
1. write my book. i think about it all the time. so it needs to happen. and then maybe it might be good enough to make some money that i could donate to causes i'm passionate about.
2. learn to play the mandolin. and then the dobro. two absolutely stunning instruments. the sound of them brings about the same comfort level as a down comforter. i could listen to them all day. so i'd like to learn.
3. learn italian.
4. practice my art therapy program with human trafficking/boy soldier victims.
some big. some small. all invaluable.
