My meat fast has been completed. Wavering at the edge of finishing the rest. The mileage from friends and family continues to pour in. I'm loving the stories they tell. I will probably reach the goal in a couple weeks at this rate! Thank you to all of you who are contributing. I feel honored.

So last week I was going over a few themes to cover for next year's potential project and i think I'll expand a bit on those this week a well:

Collaboration: Already I'm thinking about doing some projects with close friends and family members, but I'm also thinking about utilizing contributions from a group and stitching them together into a larger mosaic - whether it be drawings, writings or another form.

Rest: This one is here to remind me that there need to be more days off. At least once a week where the post is nothing but ONE very simple thing. Also I should continue to pursue my meditation practices and keeping a cap on my sleeping patterns.

Longevity: Thinking "endgame" should be on my radar: Do I want to put together a book? What can I do to make the work I create last and keep me invested? Perhaps working on something that i can revisit or build upon.

Focus: I'm thinking about starting to retouch/enhance my favorite drawings and post one a week...maybe round it down to an even 50 pictures total for the year. I'm not sure exactly the best way to do it, but I figure it can't be too incredibly difficult to figure out using tutorial videos and photoshop.

I'm thinking about a once a week reposting of polished versions of my poems/writings. Take a crack at some editing and making something cohesive and presentable.

Most of the focus is going to be about simplification...I'm in a very loud room of requirements at the moment that leaves me spread thin on all counts.
