Notes on a transformation... or how one confused little girl ended up with far too many degrees in the search for where she belongs

Seminyak, day 12
It's amazing how yoga can build me back up again. The swelling on my ankle had gone down a bit this morning so I managed to follow the entire 90 minute yoga and meditation session before breakfast, and I felt great. Centered. Energized. Ready to face the world, make some difficult decisions, and confident enough to believe things will fall into place. Somehow. Some day.
The question is, will I be able to maintain this positive energy when I'm back in an environment that seems to surround and fill me with anger and self-loathing and hopelessness? Simply thinking about it now makes me want to cry.
But I have a plan, a nugget of an idea to get me to a happy place. It will need nurturing, courage and a bit of crazy, but it's time to move forward. Like the Balinese healer said, I've lost my soul and it's high time I got it back.

Res, please keep us up to date on the re-capturing of your soul. This is interesting stuff. The "city" jobs that we do and drive us crazy - Why? To please parents and the internal voice that says you're a failure if you don't? (How do we kill that voice? That's a quest I'm on too). Check out Going Sane by Adam Philips, and this link...
