Board Break
Yesterday we did a board break in class, but to me the challenge wasn’t breaking the board itself, but deciding what to write on the board.
We were instructed to spend 7 days thinking of things to write on the front of the board to represent our “Outcome in Life” and what we know we can accomplish. On the back of the board we were supposed to write our “Obstacles in Life” that we want to move past. It was extremely difficult for me to think of my obstacles because I have such control issues that I really didn’t want to write/verbalize/admit I even HAD faults. The act of writing down the faults was therapeutic in itself.
When I broke the board, I thought to myself, “I am going to make a change in my life.” And I am. There may be times I stumble but I am going to give it all I’ve got. I am going to try my hardest to stop acting so damn tough all the time and admit that I have moments of weakness and vulnerability. That is so hard for me. It’s probably my hardest challenge of all.
This was the first time I had picked up a pencil to draw anything in over a year — and it felt sooooo good to feel inspired to draw again.

and here it is broken in half…
It was quite empowering. I would recommend anyone to do the same thing if you feel you need a boost in your life. It makes your goals and outcomes that much more clearer and lets you know that if you can break the board, you can break any obstacle that comes your way.

P.S. This morning I got a letter from Maxim Magazine (Belgium) and they asked permission to publish a photo I took of model Scar. I haven’t given them an answer yet (and can’t send them the hi-res photo cause I’m not at home), but I was quite flattered by their inquisition. How neat!

It’s good to see you getting so much out of your trip Mistress. I’m glad that you have touched so many things you have not touched inside before (or at least to the level you are now). Reading your board there are several things I wish I could comment on.. but is not my place. Will just say I believe you are better and better in others eyes than you think. Plus you draw beautifully hope you show more.

I didn’t really *want* to put *anything* on the back… but I felt soooo liberated when I did. I feel like all of that is behind me now. Sometimes the act of letting things out is all that’s needed.

Yes…. quite … deep… And I ended up burning the board to put the past behind me and look forward to the future. It felt so wonderful to move on from that. I see so much ahead of me now it’s insane. I feel so different (in a good way).
