The Journal Series #2: Boots

By wingwmn · Follow: InstagramJuly 17, 2017

In my efforts to drastically downsize, I’m ‘digitalizing’ my journals. That’s millennial speak for “rereading 15 years worth of notebooks and manually typing notes and highlights into my laptop”.  Here, I share some of the notes – to digest the arc that is my life, to share a giggle, and most importantly, to satisfy my sister’s general inclination to snoop after I’ve thrown the physical journals away.

Score!! Found some Daisy-isms.

Undated

“Ani, please promise me that if you meet Mr. Right, you’ll pretend to be sweet, gentle and helpless.  No one likes to seduce a boot.”

Did she just call me a boot???  Nothing like mothers to keep you grounded, no pun intended.

      Hi Ivana!! Mothers keep our heads small and our feet firmly planted on the ground. I can imagine you as the same type of mother. 😉

      Every 3 minutes, I tell myself, “wow, you’re neurotic.” There is a MARKED difference in personality pre-meditation and post-meditation. 🙂
