Pariah

Oh hi, I do still exist! I hope everyone has been having a beautiful 2012, it has been oddly nice here in MN :)

I just saw a great movie! Has anyone heard of Pariah? Its a limited release, but made it to Minneapolis a few weeks ago. I've been wanting to see it ever since and finally made it out the Uptown Theater this afternoon. As expected, it was wonderful. I love movies that depict an an honest life, and this one did so in a disturbingly beautiful way. Has anyone else seen it?

Here is the preview...



And the poem shown in the movie. How perfect is that last part? I am not broken, I am free.

Heartbreak opens
onto the sunrise. 
For even breaking is
opening and I am
broken. 
I am open. 
See the love shine in
through my cracks.
See the light shine
out through me.
My spirit takes
journey.
My spirit takes flight,
and I am not running, I am choosing.
I am broken. 
I am broken open.
Breaking is freeing. 
Broken is freedom.
I am not broken.
I am free.

2012 goals!

Resolutions are so cliche, Im going for goals and a theme!!
So, for 2012 my goals are...

Inversions
2012 will be my inversion year!
I can't say I would mind inversions on the beach...or with legs like that, but lets just stick with inversions....this year anyways!

Volunteer
I haven't gotten into any volunteer work since moving to MN and it just doesn't feel right. I will make time this year!

30 books in 2012
Im excited to try this through Goodreads.com, wanna try with me

Notice the widget on the sidebar --->

and the best goal yet, (drumroll please......)
I get my tam this year!!!
Take that grad school!!!

Finally, I love the idea of a theme word for the year, so my theme for 2012 ~ 
Aspire! 
There are big things ahead...

What are your 2012 goals, themes, resolutions, thoughts.....?!
