What would be the hardest thing to change about yourself?

The hardest thing to change about myself would be not being honest.

If you could take the next month off, what would you do?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 22:27:00 GMT

Well, I am doing some of it but there is more I am working to manifest :)

I've been off the radar since January or February and am glad to be taking the time to visit here today and to write. Funny too because this question is EXACTLY what I've been thinking about.

I've spent the past 7 months working 60 to 100 hours a week planning, preparing and putting a festival on. The result was a magical conscious community experience something to be proud of but the workload has left me exhausted, on every level.

This week I have been dreaming about what I'd like to be doing this month - and although I am doing some of it - I still have post fest wrap up work to do so I cannot do it all.

This week am loving up my Self and my home after many months of neglect. I love to be attending TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) and then head to the Bay area to attend Symbiosis, then to LA for a week for some time with the ocean and lots of yoga, exploration and adventure (I am doing this part) and then I'd head to Vancouver, BC for the Vancouver International FIlm Festival adn to visit my West Coast community.

I have yet to decide what to do in November as I have the month off to make up for overtime but a sunny destination sounds good. And both India and Africa are calling at this time. Oh and a dance workshop in there too. Some swimming, photography and more music. Dinner parties and spending time with loved ones woud be awesome too.

II guess I am doing lots of what I'd like to be doing and am enjoying life moment by moment - but there are always more things I'd love to spend my time doing.

Namaste,
Tatiana

What do you want right now?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 07:12:09 GMT

Right now? Sleep.

In general? Peace. Quiet. A vacation. Sunshine. To go swimming.

If you could play any instrument, what would it be?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Mon, 25 May 2009 13:29:40 GMT

Drums - all kinds of hand drums and kit too. I love to dance to the beats and to watch people move. Beats can be so simple and primal or complicated divisions of time. They touch me at the core and help me to connect, with mySelf, Earth, Others.

What does your highest self want for you today?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 14:02:27 GMT

My highest self wants me to be OK. (With what is and to not worry/stress about that which I cannot control.) Let go. Accept. Surrender. And trust. I am growing.

If you had all the time in the world what would you do?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 16:10:51 GMT

Off the top of my head, if I had all the time in the world I would swim, dance, play, write, practice yoga, read, take photos, spend time with friends and family, share, sit by lakes and rivers, walk through forests, make love, ride my bike, learn an instrument and play music and travel. I would do all the things I enjoy doing but more often and perhaps for longer periods of time than I do now.

No doubt I would spend more time volunteering for more organizations & participate in campaigns supporting human rights and environmental issues.

And I am sure I will think of more things as the day goes on :)

In what area of your life might you like someone to help you?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 15:54:43 GMT

Work. I'd like a person or two to assist with some tasks currently associated with my position due to lack of resources. Or the resources to hire one or two skilled folk to take some responsibility off me.

More breathing less stress. Less work more play.

Having said this, I enjoy my work very much. I just need more support to do it in a healthy manner.

I have asked and am working on manifesting it.

Peace and thanks.

What's the most beautiful thing you've seen someone do lately?

Cry.

What does your body want to say to the world?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 14:13:48 GMT

I am so sorry I have been so out of touch - with you, with me. Every day I recieve these questions and for the past month or more have read them and deleted as I have been "too busy" to reply and take the time for me.

I started a (fabulous) new job and have put so much of myself into it I have not made time for me or you.

Sorry about that. I am glad to have done so in this moment and send you and me love and support.

Here for us in this moment,

xo Tatiana

What do you have the hardest time accepting?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 03:28:29 GMT

At times, myself. Ways of being which do not serve me. Luckily I am able to work through this rather quickly as I know that I am doing my best, that all is perfect the way it is - and so am I.

What lifts your spirits?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 15:18:00 GMT

The following things came to mind upon contemplating what lifts my spirits:

Being in the presence of my nieces and nephews, swinging on a swing set, swimming in the ocean, dancing. Hmm, music, friends and family, a walk in the forest, journalling - and sunshine.

Where would you recommend people give their time?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 13:37:40 GMT

I would recommend people volunteer wherever they feel inspired to. If they weren't sure I would encourage them to be still and listen to their inner voice and see what feels right for them.

What is the best thing about anger?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 13:12:45 GMT

It provides the opportunity to recognize & drop into hurt so as to release & heal.

What is the most difficult thing about love?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 19:20:33 GMT

Keeping the heart open, no matter what.

Watching people you love go through challenging times while allowing them to figure it out and find their way in their own time.

Stopping myself from making love to everyone I see when I am connected and my heart is clear and open and joyous and light and loving and beaming sunshine :)

What would you like to learn today?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 13:21:34 GMT

To practice patience, compassion and extension in times even when it does not look "safe" to do so. To remain in my centre no matter what.

Do you give yourself enough time?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 13:55:50 GMT

I am always amazed at how timely the questions are.

No I do not give myself enough time if late. In fact it has been almost 6 months of work focused life with little time to run, cycle, walk along the river, cook, chill out and visit with friends and family. I am now burnt out and looking very forward to a trip to Hawaii in two months.

Of course as a result of this I am not as present as I'd like to be in my everyday life and relationships with others as I have very little to give - not the way I wish to be.

I am doing my best but just this week have begun to let go of some things and to make decisions which will create more time and less work.

This has been forefront in my mind for some time and kept me awake last night composing letters in my mind, letting go of certain committments & responsibilities.

Thank you for the gentle reinforcement & support.

How do you feel during vacations?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 01:20:28 GMT

Present. Heavenly. Peaceful. Adventurous. Curious. Joyful. At home.

Struggle. And acceptance.

What have you learned from moving?

http://pathtopeace.gaia.com — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 13:41:07 GMT

That I am adaptable. To let go of "stuff." That I love making a home whether it be a tent, boat, apartment, or house. That I am ok with it.

To hire movers :)
