let it flow
I've been steadily reducing my commitments to things, especially those that I was doing because I felt I "should," and those that have lost their flavor for me, regardless of motivations going in.
I've been examining my motivations for doing all of the things I try to do at once and starting to feel that I've done all the examination I need to do for now.
As I open up my life more and more....now things are starting to happen...somebody that I haven't talked to in months called me today and asked if I would be interested in helping her produce a demo CD of her songs. I will take that incident as the official kickoff of going with the flow of life (and ending this round of self-reflection)...
(BTW, I asked her to ask me again in a month...no diving into commitments until I let this next phase "happen")

BTW, I wanted to mention that it takes a lot of guts to really open up like this. I applaud you for having the courage. So few do.
Lakshmi--thanks!
