It's been a wild year. To say the least. After living with my dad in Albuquerque for 11 months, I decided my work there was done, and my time for moving on had arrived. It was time for me to really go where I've wanted to go for the better part of my life - the ocean!! It has always just been a dream, too big to realize, something far off in never-never land, and somehow, for whatever reason, unattainable. But my options were wide open, and I needed something positive and life-affirming after a really difficult year with my father. My friend, Jan, lives in Destin, and told me to "come on out" and I took her up on her offer.
Got all my dad's affairs in order, cleared up what I needed to in Albuquerque, and once again, packed my car, and headed east to Florida. My car and my cat did GREAT on the trip, exceeding my wildest expectations (which were actually low; I was really anxious about what might go wrong......). It was the best thing I could have done. I feel so at home here, and though I am still finding my way, keeping my head above water (so to speak!!) financially, and missing friendship, I know that this is where I am supposed to be. It is SO beautiful! There is water EVERYwhere!!!!
It has been frustrating, OH so frustrating, to find ways to earn income here. Which is crazy, as there are literally millions of people that come here over the months of summer, and do pretty much nothing but spend money - lots of it. I have filled out applications, typed up resumes, had interviews, passed out flyers, made cold calls, taken tests, etc., etc, since the day I got here, and all I have to show for it now is a waitress job (which is actually really fun!) that is part time. It's all divine, and I'm taking it a day at a time, getting from it what I can, and giving in it what I can. I think it's about really "finding my passion" and pursuing that. Which, when I really know it, will not require pursuing at all, right? It will just show up.................
So in the meantime, I am happy to be doing some awesome telephone, long-distance readings all around the US, which is DEFinitely a passion!!! It is all unfolding as it should, and as it does, I get to be surrounded by waves, bridges, rain, boats, sand, and dripping pink sunrises and sunsets!!!!
Blessings to you for a splendid summer!!!
