Outside of my vlogs explaining what I am doing, I am going to update with how I am doing. I hope you enjoy this journey with me.
I started my fast 36 hours ago. Luckily, Stacie D (
Wednesday carried on like any other day. I drove to town and ran errands with my best pal george. We picked up some things at the library and just piddled around. I taped several vlogs as I anticipated these couple of days. I love what I do, and plan to win the internet.
Evening came and I was still editing video and interviews from Nashville. Tomorrow I will be posting my interview with IJ 
With the beautiful smell in the air my stomach started to notice it was empty. There was some serious rolling and uproar. I popped in my ear buds and began watching videos. Mostly inspirational or spiritually informational.
The day closed with zero issue. I blazed past 24 hours and set my sights on the morning. When the sun rose this morning I was just about at 36 hours. The feelings were different. I felt calm. Like I didn't want to jump out of bed and start running, but was plenty aware and able to operate....just slower.
After researching other peoples experience online I knew that this was a time for listening to my body and resting. So, naturally I asked Stacie D if she would like to take a walk.
We headed out like normal for a 20-25 minute walk. Nothing too hateful. A couple of hills and it is all black top. We started out the driveway and immediately down the first hill. Since I am also "vocal fasting" the only sound was the soles of our shoes connecting with the blacktop. I could see so many flowers. Each bird that chirped got my attention. Since I wasn't filling the space with my own words I was able to take in more. It felt as though my senses were turned up.
We made it to our first turn around ,because we walk back and forth on the road, and I was winded. It was at that point I heard my body wisper something about hating me. We carried on and back up the hill toward our driveway and continued down to the stop sign. When we reached the driveway I was winded again and felt a little "funny". Almost like I had been holding my breath while walking. I put it together that my body isn't used to just breathing. I am usually talking so much and so fast....I breathe when I can. So for me to walk and actually take deep breaths was alittle dizzying.
We made it to the stop sign and then most of the way back to the house and I knew I was pushing it. I motioned that I was done and we headed in to stretch. Stretching went amazing and I was mindful about bending over and then standing up too quick. I did some standing shoulder exercise for my shoulder I seperated in December. We finished with a 1 minute plank and floor stretching. I feel great. I felt that I was engaging more muscles and my body was responding well to any and all stimulation.
I am now sitting out under the trees. I am feeling very reflective and emotional. Since I began my spiritual journey several years ago I have been more sensitive to the energy around me. I often get filled with rogue energy from other people and situations. Most times I can walk barefooted and alone and the energy will settle. When I pray and meditate I feel a heightened sense of energy moving through me and that is what I am feeling now.
I am steuggling just a bit to get this written because the life around me is getting my attention. Everytime george scratches I hear it. Each and every beautiful bird singing in the trees. My chickens pecking around and crowing. The few rain drops that have fallen hitting the broad oak leaves.
I feel that I am going the right direction. Today Is going to be a day of reflection and rest. I am going to do some editing later and try to carry on as normal. But for now...I am going to knock on the sky and listen to the sound.
