I have these little nagging thoughts that I can't seem to find clarity on. They aren't life shaking, by any means, but I roll them around in my mind constantly. So, instead of continuing to do that I thought I would crowdsource the answers... to life's little problems. Please, chime in if you have a possible solution to any one of these things I keep tossing around:
- Grey Hair Dilemma? I have some grey hair. My husband says it is fine, but I am thinking at 41 I might be looking older than I feel. I don't want to do an all over dye and I am unsure about the cost of maintaining a salon solution... is there anything that can be done at home that doesn't look horrendous?
- Milk or Soy? Is organic milk better for you? We pretty much just drink soy, but now I am thinking we should switch back to milk. Anyone have an opinion?
- Camera? I need a camera, but am not sure if I want to jump into the DSLR or just get a point and shoot. What do you have and do you love it?
- Journaling? I am wondering if I should start a journaling blog or just add that component here. I have taught it, written countless prompts - and am committed to the process, but I haven't done anything with it publicly since I left San Francsico 9 years ago, where I used to teach to children and adults. Wondering if the concept is even interesting to anyone.
- Best Carpet? Is berber carpet better than a short plush for the house?
- Website Questions: I have two blogs and a site and I am wondering if I should have a point and shoot page called Jacqueline Wolven where you could find it all in one place.
- Studying Zen: I want to practice Zen more seriously, but I don't know where to begin. I currently "tithe" to Cheri Huber's monastery because I love her, but I am really more drawn to Pema Chodron or Karen Maezen Miller. I know they would all say to just shut up and sit, but I wonder if having a formal teacher, even far away is possible.
Ok, that is all for now. If you have any answers or opinions on my little problems leave a comment - I am curious what you think and maybe just writing this down will stop these thoughts from racing around my brain each day!
