Lazy Mode
Saturday, February 17, 2018
Today I am grateful for:
Filtered light and morning snuggles.
***
I have a job.
Woah.
Yes, that's right.
My horse friends that took a tech sabbatical and neglected to let me know still wanted me around.
So now I'm assisting them.
To start, just Tues-Fri, 9AM-Noon.
I'll take it.
After not working since Mid-October and a two day stint in November before Turkey day.
It's a nice way to "ease back."
Looks like Josh will be easing back as well with part-time work at Paws Plaza.
SO he works with dogs.
I work near horses.
Love it.
***
Allergies have us miserable currently.
Eyes puffy.
Mind foggy.
Nose drippy.
Sneezing plenty.
Blah.
I need to go to the store and get some remedies for us... but I gotta do laundry first since the dryer is fixed again.
Master procrastinator.
Check.
***
I'm going to work on my focus and meditations.
Now that the job search can chill the fuck out.
I can focus on healing my head and heart.
One of the affirmations that Josh told me to keep cycling is,
"be grateful for the good that has come into your life as well as the good that is coming."
One of the multitude of reasons why I love this handsome fella.
He reminds me to keep my wishes strong, keep my heart full of what I love, take the time to really relax.
We just had this conversation this past week while on our second road trip of the month to pick up his car, Harlequin, from Colorado Springs.
When did it become OK to ridicule "being lazy" ??
With all the shit that we all do on a daily basis.
We should be striving for LESS SHIT and MORE RELAXING.
Think about that.

Low
Monday, February 5, 2018
Today I am grateful for:
Shanna for sending the perfectly timed pick me up text message.
***
I'm low energy and just low today.
Stayed in bed until almost 1PM.
No one has contacted me on the job front.
So I hesitate to leave the house because that costs money.
And because I don't want to be around people.
Just a low day.
Feeling lost.
Cold.
Sad.

Fire Intention
Sunday, February 4, 2018
Today I am grateful for:
our little wood burning stove
the only real source of heat for our casita
creator of ambiance and that oh so cozy vibe
***
I applied to work at a local farm today.
After not hearing back from the other place I really felt good about...
This farm seems like a dream come true to me.
Honestly.
I would rather work outside and be productive with something I truly give a shit about.
Organic produce.
It's life.
What you eat is how you feel.
Food really is good for the soul.
And good food is key.
For the past few years actually I have toyed with the idea of working on a farm.
It will probably be some of the hardest work I've done.
But damn if it will mean more than any of the past work I've done.
And that is what matters the most to me.
I want work that down to it's core, is meaningful to me and beneficial to everyone who partakes in it.
So I'm setting my intention today.
I wish and I want this job.
I will work on an organic produce farm.

An Authentic Journey
Saturday, February 3, 2018
Today I am grateful for:
strength in the midst of a difficult journey
***
Three months of job hunting.
My first interview at an Art Gallery and the owner told me she had essentially already hired someone but she just wanted to meet me.
Owners telling me they will contact me and never getting in touch or waiting 2 1/2 weeks to get in touch only to lie and tell me the position is filled and then post an Ad on Craigslist a day later.
I had a job for 2 days at the animal shelter.
The 2 days right before Thanksgiving.
But sharing a car and not having furniture took it's toll.
Plus that was a fucking difficult job when no one could train properly.
So I quit.
And the job my heart wanted is in Taos.
A 101 mile round trip away from the casita.
At $11/ hr it just didn't make financial sense.
No matter how much my heart wanted it.
I thought I found another worthy job at a horse ranch helping people.
Alas I contacted them as requested and still crickets.
So I'm taking a different approach.
I will not be someone's bitch.
Fuck these wishy washy rude people.
I'm going to focus on what I want.
And let the job find me.
I focused on my goals last night.
I'm putting them into action today.
Daily meditations (no matter how short) to help set my intention and focus.
Self care including two days of workout training with Josh and three days of yoga (in town or at home).
Eating more well rounded meals because we've been eating like college students since we arrived.
Continuing to further my knowledge of living a zen life.
It starts today.
***
Each day I will write a blog post with a photo.
No expectations.
No rules.
Just a grateful post and a photo.
To help keep me on track.
Cheers to the journey of discovery.
