The Studio

I just returned from meeting Aundrea at Craftsworks (www.wvcraftworks.org/).  Lately I have been enjoying the continued good fortune of having beautiful, amazing people enter my life.  Today was no exception.  I felt Aundrea to be a sensitive, sensual woman of power and creativity with a strong sense of what can be.  Meeting people like this is refreshing to me; it gives me a sense of optimism for the human condition.
I went to the Studio to test the environment.  It is of relatively new construction, so my concern is formaldehyde.  Being rather ubiquitous in our daily lives, formaldehyde is often utilized as a preservative and flavor enhancer in processed foods and is used extensively in construction, both in adhesives and textiles.  Initial response appears to be okay, but I'll have to see if I start having reactions such as hoarseness and/or hives later on today and this evening.  I hope not, because I want to sign up for the class in vinyasa flow yoga that begins this week.  I'm not sure how my 62 year old body will respond, but it probably will not be pretty.  But, if I can survive the initial year or two of torment, I imagine that this will be a good thing for me.  I see my autumn as one of intense personal growth.  My plans are to jump back into my art by way of the drawing class I have registered for as well as getting back to my classical guitar and photography.  I also am intending to devote time daily to meditation and spiritual growth. There is so much I want to do; I think I need to be more organized.  I need a schedule!  Yuck!  That is so unlike me.  I'm more the type to just wing it.  I think that's why these classes are good for me.  They make me do stuff.
