I fell off the bandwagon . . .

So, I am a bad blogger.  Bad, bad blogger.  I am sorry.  I will put myself in the time out corner (want me to go now?).


Ok, so, basically a lot has happened in the last month, and between not knowing what to say and not knowing how I feel, I have been hiding.  (Side note:  My ostrich skills are really, really fine tuned these days!) I don't even know where to start. . . the long and the short of it is that Brad and I declared that we wanted major changes in our life and then the universe gave us major changes.  Its complicated and more than I care to get into (hence why I have been AWOL for a month) but basically we know that, in the long run, DC isn't the place for us.  So we are "making moves" to move to Minnesota. 

I have never been to a psychic before but a good friend's psychic made a prediction that she shared with me and it is kind of freaking me out -- in a good way.  The psychic made the prediction for the whole world, and she said that between November 2009 and August 2010 there would be major changes for everyone on the planet because the cardinal planets were aligned in this very special way that had never happened before.  I wish I had saved the email with the prediction, because in paraphrasing her prediction it of course sounds like a generic horoscope that could apply to anyone and is hookie and stupid, but basically she said the changes would involve people's jobs and the places they lived.  She mentioned in her prediction, for example, all of the earthquakes that have happened recently.  Anyway, I am failing at making it sound good - but it was - and I kind of tucked it away in the back of my mind, and then boom - all this stuff is happening.   The psychic said that major change this year was inevitable, and that those who resist the flow of change would suffer greatly while those who accept it and go with it would find new opportunities and tremendous success.  Like I said, I've never been to a psychic before, so this is not my usual source of wisdom.  But something in her words jumped out at me as the inevitable truth . . . and over the past few months, they seem to have manifested themselves in the lives of my friends and family and the world at large pretty accurately.  So maybe she really is psychic??

Anyway, psychic or not, I am not sure what life is bringing to me right now, and in spite of the anxiety that I normally have, I am really joyful about where I am and where I am going - giddy like a school girl to be more exact.  Lets face it, I just took a job with a big pay cut, Brad's job is up in the air, and our Landlord is most likely in foreclosure (oops, I guess that was pretty much a spoiler alert because I said earlier I couldn't handle talking about everything just two paragraphs ago) but despite all these unknowns I am stoked (I couldn't think of a less 1990's word - sorry) to plant my garden this weekend.  Its not just that I am living in the present so I am not worrying about the future . . . it feels more like because I have articulated where I want to go, I am finally able to get really pumped about the ride there.   Almost like, it's not just about knowing where you are going though . . . its about believing that you will get there. . .   I am not sure what caused a shift in my belief system, but something has shifted in me; and if feels like because I know my destination and I believe the journey will get me there, that possibilities are opening up to me.  I find myself more energetic in my heart that I have been since last October when I was doing the 40 Day Revolution.  Weird, right? 

In any case.  That's the nitty gritty on where we are -- where I am -- right now.  Again, my apologies for being MIA this past month.  What is going on with everyone? Has 2010 been a year of major change thus far for you as well?  Flood my inbox with scolding comments and emails if I go MIA like that again?

Namaste,
