Kat, I don't know whether this is near you but it's right up your alley! You might want to check them out...I've been to Unity before and they might be a nice fit.

Maybe. I am trying to get all the pieces of my life in order. Even while studying to be a life coach, I most likely will have to get a second job. That doesn't make me happy as I really would rather have just one job that pays enough. I guess it is just more of the same for a while....do what I need to, not what I want to.

Kat,

Look at this as the means to help you transition into the next phase with abundance?!?! You have so much to offer, yet doggone it, you still need to put food on the table and a roof over your heads. And you're sorting through a lot of changes awfully well.

I call that 2nd job an insurance policy to help you through that transition until you *can* make a living doing what you desire.

I had coffee with a friend this morning who I haven't seen in awhile. We were discussing the ever so present topic of "what do I want to do for the next 10 years?" She doesn't have the $$$ issues that we have (far from it, which is why we were "celebrating" this morning), but she has the same old worries that you and I (and the rest of us here) do. She's 56, her youngest is off at college, her H's company is being bought out by a telecom giant, he's wondering what next (and she insists it ISN'T candy crush LOL), and she's been a SAHM since her oldest was 4. She feels insecure because she hasn't had a paying job in the longest time, yet... she's smart, fun, caring and just generally awesome. She wants to work on the Ops side of Special Olympics. So we talked about helping her create a job that she'd love.

We all have circumstances that put obstacles in our path. Maybe we have to care for a parent... or have health issues. You name it. It's just a little road block. But knowing you, you will navigate it beautifully.

Plus the upside? It will give you some breathing room to create something you love without wondering how to get to the grocery store... that's a necessity, and not a luxury. Knowing you, you'll do this gracefully with aplomb.

Go you!

Oh Bets, thanks. I know I will get through this. I do think I can make a difference because who doesn't want to create a life they love, one that has personal meaning. The business side is a tad unnerving but I don't think it is anything I can't handle. Any pointers there?

I might go ahead and do a call with your friend in Oregon. She got back with me the other night. It is exciting and nerve racking all at once. You want your future to start now but have to reign yourself in because you want to get it right and not miss a step.

I have faith we will all be fine. It may not be what we dreamed, but god will watch over us and make sure we land on our feet, unlike the x that will land on their head.

I missed it. What is the deal with Oregon?

kat, i am enjoying reading your daily affirmations. Especially about perspective and how we choose to look at events...the event itself is just there. we put the label of good or bad to it.
Breathing is so important!
I am one too to not want to miss a step. I get ahead of myself. It is so hard to be patient and trusting. I definitely need to figure out calmness!
keep posting!

Some good stuff last night. I am on vacation and had hoped to go somewhere with my 3 youngest. Anyway, things aren't working out quite the way I hoped and I did get a bit upset. Last night I was able to get all 4 to commit to a movie and dinner,we also had s18's girlfriend.

So while we are sitting there my oldest asked me to describe them in one word. I said Blessings. He said no, Mom, each one of us. So I did and the they took their turns. So eye opening. They see me continuing to add things on my shoulders,much stronger than even I know and yet yearning to start my own thing. I am kind and smart. I try so hard to be a good mom that I put myself last. Basically they gave me permission to start putting myself first. Funny that I needed to hear from them that it was ok.

So last night was very nice and we all had a good time. . My dog needs out and then I will post today's posts.

Just throw that "k" out there. Lol

Day 10. Affirmation: I am moving into harmony with everyone and everything in my universe.

Today: notice the relationship you have with every person and every object you encounter. You do not need to change the way you relate,just be aware of your energy. Does it go up or down, or is it neutral with each person or object?

Task: identify your energy zappers. An energy zapper is anything that lowers your energy. Often you become so used to dealing with these zappers that you might not even be aware of them. Some examples: you always feel exhausted after having been with a particular person; saying yes when you mean no; continually trying to please everyone; sitting in fluorescent lit rooms with no windows. Hopefully you get the jist. Write down those zappers and think of ways to eliminate them or at least diminish them.

Blessings, kat
