WHO/WHAT

ERIC WEAVER

Seattle, Washington, USA

Life is short. It comes with all sorts of joys and thrills, as well as stunning losses and crushing sorrows.

I'm in the process of rewriting my life, rewiring my thinking, and reweaving who I am. I've already destroyed several bad family patterns. What's left is how I deal with people, stress, bad behavior and time pressures.

I don't want to spend the next 50 (or 5) years limping along toward home plate. I'd rather take a running dive.

This is a largely personal journey. You're welcome to read along if you'd like.

And some good news

Reweaving Reality Check for September 2009

  1. EXERCISE
  2. EATING
  3. RELOCATION
  4. FINANCE
  5. MEANING
  6. MINDSET

Status against the plan:

1. Exercise. Walking 2km a day now at the very minimum. HUGE improvement to get off my ass. Wears me out and my work clothes get sweaty but Vancouver is a fantastic walking town and I’ve purposefully gotten a condo that’s at least a kilometer from work so that I am forced to walk. The car stays in storage the entire week and I am SAVING a shitload of gas money. I’m not doing the full exercise routine I wanted to but this is a huge start.

2. Eating. I’m being faithful to eating nothing but organic while in Vancouver. The only exception: there’s a British butcher shop in North Van that I’ve gotten some tasty bangers, Irish pudding and other British meats from, and they are Teh Awesome.

3. Relocation. Investigating house possibilities in Canada. Jena found some very cool houseboats today on Coal Harbour. That would rule.

4. Finance. As I write this, I’m surrounded by paid bills and filed statements. I’m doin’ it, baby! I am making my peace with *$(% money.

5. Meaning. I’ve been volunteering my time helping non-profits understand how to use social media, and I’ll be working a fundraiser for at-risk youth on 9/12, called Twestival.

6. Mindset. Yeah, I’m still angry. It happens when you’ve had majorly serious shit go down in your life. Deaths. Gun violence. Multiple losses. Divorce. After awhile, it’s hard to stay positive. Yet all in all, I’m in a way better place than I was a year ago.
