I am finding that I'm getting caught up in my twirling mind about all I need to do before, during, and after my big move.  When my stomach starts jumping around and my neck muscles spasm, I need to know that it is the perfect time to sit still, be silent, and let everything be exactly as it is.  I need gentleness and time.  How can one float down a river while having what looks like an epileptic fit?  I'll get down the river, probably bruised, and not aware that I have moved.  If I relax and float, the ride will be easier and life will still flow.  Love and Light.

I'm continuing to pack up and sort through my stuff and finding lots of "things" I do not want to let go of.  I'm really good at saving things, holding onto things.  I have many journals throughout my decades of living and many mementos and photo albums.  Things that mean a lot to me and are not physically replaceable.  Other things that I'm packing, I look at it and say I can buy a new one at my new place.  And I can move it and just have it.  I imagine moving things up the stairs to my new apartment that's on the second floor and no elevator.  I need to let go and trust the abundance of the earth and life and trust all I need is within me.   It still is nice to have my stuff.  Love and Light.

I have air conditioning again.  The dog is feeling better.  I'm feeling better.  I'm packing up my house in more comfort.  The TV is packed away in a box and now I'll be even more productive.  My goal is to be completely packed up, except for a few spartan essentials, as soon as possible.  And so far I seem to be right on track.  Love and Light.

I'm learning about patients and letting go of control.  Since Saturday night my AC has been broken and it has been HOT here in South Florida.  I had my AC repair guy scheduled for last afternoon/evening and called the Condo building maintenance where I live, repeatedly to make sure the roof door would be unlocked so he could service my unit on the roof.  I'm telling you it has been a comedy of miscommunication and things not getting unlocked and the AC guy forgetting my appointment and coming late and the door being locked up again and then unlocked again after the AC guy left.  I am trying to get it all to happen together today.  I am not in control of the AC guy, nor am I in control of the roof door lock.  Surprisingly, I'm staying calm and in my heart and coming from a place of love.  I have allowed my anger and frustration to be expressed in healthy ways so I'm not denying my feelings either.  I know everything is going to work out fine today and I'm going to leave work early and camp out at the unlocked roof door just to make sure.  Love and Light.

My AC stopped working on Saturday night.  I packed a lot of stuff while very hot yesterday.  Today I have my dog with me at work because it was too hot to leave him at home without any AC.  He is sleeping peacefully in the corner.  I had some help with packing and I realize how controlling I am when packing my stuff.  I need to receive help and allow people to help and let go.  It will all get done, it will all get to my new place.  Love and Light.

I was the Master of Ceremonies at an outdoor event yesterday that included raffle prizes being given away every 10 minutes.  I had a wireless mic and was wandering through the event making announcements of the raffles and other things going on at the event.  About halfway through a strange and wonderful and fun thing happened, I became like the Pied Piper at the event.  A large amount of kids surrounded me and followed me around wherever I went at the event.  Most of them holding their raffle tickets hoping to win the next prize, then hoping to win the next prize.  They were asking me questions and telling me what they did at the event and who their friends were.  It was a lot of fun and I found it very amusing that they followed me everywhere.  Even after I told them I wouldn't call another number for 10 minutes and was going to get water, they stuck with me.  I've done these same events in the past and this never happened before.  Love and Light.

I haven't posted for a while.  I own being out of integrity with myself and I'm not giving excuses.  My life has shifted in a big way.  I have accepted a new job in a new state (Georgia) and am in the midst of wrapping things up in my current job, packing and organizing to move in the beginning of October.  The Universe really wants me to learn the lesson of going with the flow, because this offer came out of the blue, unexpectedly.  And my new boss surprised me with starting work with her early by flying me out to New York this weekend to shoot an event for her.  I'm still working at my current job until October 9th and I guess this will be on the side until my official start date of October 14th.  I am struggling with going with the flow and trusting that I will have my flight information before I am actually supposed to be flying out on Friday.  I need to remember to take moments out of my day to meditate and ground myself, otherwise my brain starts spinning out of control with all the possibilities that have not happened yet.  I am here in this moment and all I have right now is this moment.  Breathe!  Love and Light.

I haven't been doing my list lately.  I was on vacation.  I know, it's not an excuse, I took my laptop and was able and had the opportunity to write my gratitude list, and I did not.  I forgot.  I was very happy to be back up in Michigan with all the old oaks and maples and aspens, sand dunes, trails through the forest, and Lake Michigan.  I had a beautiful and wonderful time.  And on one of my walks through the trails, I was fortunate and grateful to see a family of deer, a mama and two babies.  I'm now back in Florida, and ready to take off again tomorrow for Atlanta.  I have an interview up there and I'm hoping it goes well.  If so, I'll be moving north very soon!  Love and Light.
