If I could do it all over again, I would have nourished myself more. I wouldn't have worried so much about what others thought of me or if what I was doing would help me to fit in more. I would have paid attention to what makes me happy and continued to seek those things without letting dramas get in the way of my own needs. I would have stopped letting my persona drive the boat. I would have taken care of myself from the inside out without wondering who was watching or who I could impress. I would have stopped comparing myself to others a long time ago and let myself just....enjoy myself. I would have identified all those little things that made me smile and made them sacred and not disposable for anyone. I would have slowed down and not be so quick to get my next high by throwing my reality into chaos. I would have made more calculated moves and not just acted on my feeling states...which always proved to be unreliable. I would have loved my body enough to take the time to really care for it. I would have put more value into those things that took time to cultivate and learned what it felt like to move through a process that didn't always produce immediate rewards instead of just quiting when things didn't come easily. I would have made a pact with myself that quality is more important than quantity and to live strictly by those terms. I would have treated myself better instead of putting everyone else first. I would have made my spiritual relationship with the universe higher than any other relationship in my life. I would have let go of other's judgements about me and therefore let go of judging others. I would have stopped waiting for permission to have fun. I would have made sure my time alone was treasured time instead of dreaded time.
All in all, I would have made sure I practiced being happy and content every day to ensure I would arrive there in the future.

If I had a do-over I would've hugged my lovely friend Steph every day when she lived so close to me. A travesty not to be repeated and a lesson to be applied every time I see her next. Squeeze! From the elephant to the butterfly that has just landed upon her and tickled in the process.
I was looking for a Pheasant recipe for my dad online today. I found one on a Rhubarb and Venison blog, which had a link to your blog. I was reading through your blog and I would like to talk to you by email if that is not too weird for you. I am a life coach and I have recently opened myself to the law of attraction, and I have also in the last week been led to three different connections around NLP and hypnosis. I think this connection to you is another link I need to follow. ebeccra at gmail dot com is my email if it's not too wierd for you to get in touch with me. you can see my blogs as well to know a bit about me if that helps. slipcoat.blogspot and juballoon.blogspot.
