Week 17 of Brahmacharya I am an Americorps veteran. I was taught to immerse myself into a place, and create a program that would improve the lives of the natives beyond my term of my service. Perhaps I have been creating a program that would improve my own life this time. I want to spend …

Week 16 of Brahmacharya “My Soul Mate” tried to call but my cell phone was turned off. Then my roommate asked me again if I had talked to him since I saw him with the girl on FB, and I had already told her I did – was she trying to tell me she saw …
Week 15 of Brahmacharya Started reading “Eastern Body, Western Mind” after spending a super-spiritually-charged weekend for better or for worse with my mentor…she has really immersed herself into her spiritual seeking and I think it’s fantastic, but a bit draining. Good mirror for me. Talking about your spiritual discoveries for hours and hours is boring …
Week 14 of Brahmicharya This post is dedicated to Bjork. She is brilliant. There is no other like her. How did she become this way? I think this song says it all: As much as I definitely enjoy solitude I wouldn’t mind perhaps Spending little time with you Sometimes Sometimes Possibly maybe probably love Possibly …
Week 12 of Brahmicharya I have decided to start thinking about my love life from my left brain instead of the right, just to see if logic over creativity will make a difference in the outcome. It is working for my career, so why not indulge in the metaphor? How do I go about doing …
Week 11 of Brahmicharya This week I am focusing on accepting myself for who I am rather than hoping to become some kind of all-knowing enlightened being. “I am an independent single woman in my 40s not interested in dating.” That was an experimental sentence right there. I meant to write “in my 30s” but …
Week 10 of Brahmicharya OK, so the last two posts were total meltdown. I broke brahmicharya after my MAN said he couldn’t visit me because he doesn’t know how he feels about me. Since then, I’ve renewed my vows and talked to my writer friend who understands all my neuroses. “Don’t get me wrong,” I …
Week 9 of Brahmicharya Just watched Parenthood either to get babies out of my system or in it. Been thinking about babies all day, actually. A baby is probably the ultimate commitment. It’s a permanent job and a permanent relationship with the father. I have a Doctors appointment. I want to ask about my reproductive …
Week 8 of Brahmicharya So, I hit a wall last week. My MAN, whom I should probably stop calling MY man, told me he doesn’t know how he feels about me. Even worse, he said, “It’s like you were never here.” Glad I made such an impression. Over a year. Part of me feels so …
Week 7 of Brahmicharya I had my first sexy dream since I started brahmicharya. I didn’t touch myself at all, I just remember sexy Nikki (dunno who the heck she is or where she came from!) wearing a skirt and spreading her legs and…well, I am not supposed to describe it in too much detail …
