Can I de-clutter my life?

Can I de-clutter myself?

I have been going on about my authentic self for years. Recently I have uncovered an ugly truth about myself, I am not living the life I want to be living. That's fine, well, no it isn't. At least it isn't now that I recognize it to be truth. I have a few people in my life (and you know who you are) that I feel are living in truth. What I mean by that is not that they lead perfect lives or that they know everything. What I mean is that they listen to their heart, their stomach and live according to that truth. Their truth isn't the same as someone else's or in fact the same as anyone else's, it is unique to them. I am pretty sure that living in your own truth doesn't make you instantly happier. I am actually pretty certain that there are days these (very special) people wish that they could cocoon against their own truth. Perhaps it is true that they live part of their lives answering to the call of their heart and another part adamantly denying it. That is only a battle within themselves. What I see in these people is conviction. Dedication to what they believe and an unquenchable desire to do what it takes to make things happen to get them towards that goal.

I ignore my heart call all the time.

I choose what is easy instead of right.

I hate this about myself and need change.

Top Down

Okay I'm into day 7 of my vegan cleanse.
I was totally grossed out making up chicken on Father's Day for the BBQ. To, um, familiar I think. Anyway. I am finding it pretty easy, but I think when it is over I may be welcoming sugar (in more controlled quantities) Wheat (when other products are hard to come by) Caffeine (it is not a vice of mine anyway) and Alcohol (again not a vice of mine)

Anyway I also thought it was high time I faced up to the measuring tape too.
And in a fit of insanity I am going to share it with you.
