SurfPrayLove: November 2011
http://surfpraylove.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 14, 2011. I'm 42 and Full of Gratitude and Appreciation. My wise friend Polly recently informed me that Abraham Hicks makes a distinction between being "grateful" and being "appreciative." "Gratitude" (she paraphrased) implies a comparison with something that is not, but that could be. And then they have to walk two miles barefoot in the snow just to go to school, etc. etc.). What a way to honor the divine! What a way to get high! What a way to spend a birthday weekend! I turned the car ...

SurfPrayLove: Surfing in the Rain
http://surfpraylove.blogspot.com/2011/12/surfing-in-rain.html
Saturday, December 17, 2011. Surfing in the Rain. Random Beach Photo. All my cameras are broken and I didn't want to bring my friend's loaner to the beach today. It's been almost a month since I went surfing and even longer since I posted to this blog. Incredible though it seems, I'd even forgotten that I had a blog until I read this post by my friend Lindsay Gallagher. About why she had't posted to her. Blog for too long a time. Any connection to not surfing? I had to find out. I bobbed on a surfboard i...

SurfPrayLove: True Love
http://surfpraylove.blogspot.com/2011/10/true-love.html
Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Photo by Meaghan Miller Lopez AMMA Photography. That's me, totally loving my surf board. I was walking past it and I couldn't resist giving it a big 'ole hug. It's brought me so far in the last year or so. It's provided me with a dream come true - riding the waves - standing up (! And I'm sure inspired me in my latest adventure-to-be. If all goes well, in January, 2012, I'll be going back to school. Grown-up school. But surfing has provided me with more joy than I've known in...

SurfPrayLove: September 2011
http://surfpraylove.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 24, 2011. Last Sunday it was sunny, the water was warm, the waves were perfect and all was right with the world (actually, all is always right with the world, it's just that we're often unable to see it that way). Afterwards, I considered why this had happened. From a Mechanical point of view, I knew that, obviously, I had fallen in the wrong direction. But then I looked at it Mythologically. And laughed. Wednesday, September 21, 2011. Surfing As Spiritual Practice. Back in August, I ...

SurfPrayLove: December 2011
http://surfpraylove.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 24, 2011. I Love Forests, I Love Espresso and I Love My Mom. Have I achieved what I set out for? I'm particularly aware of it right now because, in the topsy-turvy reality that's been my life lately, the tumbler has finally set. I'm not going to graduate school. I'm going to Tacoma, Washington. And I'm taking the family with me. I hope so. But surfing? I've had to take many deep breaths to say to myself calmly, "Not likely." (Though "surf vacation" has become my new mantra). It's been ...

SurfPrayLove: Being Here Now
http://surfpraylove.blogspot.com/2011/11/being-here-now.html
Sunday, November 6, 2011. And then - with the help of a friend who is a seasoned yoga instructor - I got the guidance I'd been seeking. Sonya showed me how to properly distribute my weight and build up the leg muscles that had been long overlooked in my ballet and yoga training. After less than a week of practicing the exercises she gave me, I can already feel certain muscles strengthening and certain tendons lengthening. If you pay attention.

SurfPrayLove: May 2011
http://surfpraylove.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 30, 2011. More Thoughts on Feeling Un/Comfortable. I got a lot of feedback from my last post about not feeling comfortable being approached by men I don't know. The issue of public safety - for both women and men - coupled with the challenges of male/female relationships certainly struck a nerve. I received several anecdotes about being harassed on the street, on the subway or in movie theaters, and agreement about how difficult it can be to let go of those experiences. Ow we let th. But surf...

SurfPrayLove: February 2011
http://surfpraylove.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 25, 2011. It was a rainy day and Trinity and I watched 180 Degrees South. A really good documentary that just brought home how stuck I've been feeling the last week. Here's how it goes - Life is going along and I get an idea. It's a good idea and it excites me. Life gets really good. Having such a good life gives me more ideas, excites and inspires me, and I start doing more stuff. THIS IS THE QUESTION! Saturday, February 19, 2011. To fully get the benefits of Rocky's program, I'll eithe...

SurfPrayLove: January 2012
http://surfpraylove.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 11, 2012. This Blogger Has Moved. I've moved my family to Washington. I've moved my writing to treesandespresso.blogspot.com. See you there,. Tuesday, January 3, 2012. I cried because I knew I'd miss the ocean. But I also cried because I realized why the ocean had meant so much to me during these last few years in LA. I hated my fucking life. Will Brian get a more challenging, better-paying job and enjoy the crafts-centered life he seeks? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Jesica Davis is a b...
