Like Attracts Like

It's been a while since I have posted, mostly because there has been so much mucky muck I didn't want to splash any on my readers.  You're welcome.

As often happens with a perceived negative event, I work my way around the block in my thinking and figure out a new angle to view said events.  Most things in life are really positive events but it can be difficult to see it at the time.  My downfall is becoming so internalized in my processing that I forget to write, sing, dance, do yoga, be creative or all the other stuff that allows me to process faster.  I also focus on giving my energy to the positive in an effort to attract more positive energy no matter how slow that process may be.  I firmly believe that which we give our energy to grows in strength and attraction. 

So....since I have last posted:

I started nursing school, had a cancer scare that included major surgery and missed so much school I was asked to leave.  Sounds negative, but the positive is the school was good but by being asked to leave I was able to realize a neighborhood full of graffiti and gunshots wasn't the place for me to complete my nursing training.  I now have the opportunity to choose a new school.

After a long job search and much meditation to increase my employment vibration, I had three job offers come in on the very same day.  One waiting tables at a popular restaurant in Stamford, one working as a home health aide traveling in Stamford and surrounding areas and one for a massage therapist position in Dallas.  After 5 months of searching, I am overwhelmed to say the least. 

I am most drawn to the massage therapist position because I trained for a year to get my national certification then moved to Stamford, a place that unknown to me didn't recognize my license, and struggled with employment ever since.  I also feel the massage therapy resonates most deeply with my personal beliefs and values.  It would however require a $4000 move to have this career.  Did you read that last word?  Career, not just a job.  That is a big one.  Now I must ask myself, can I get over the things I don't like about Texas to compromise and have the career I want?  Or even better, can I learn and grow to view them as positives?

My two beautiful fur-babies are doing well.  One of them enjoys the snow which is great since Stamford had almost 100 inches of snow this past winter.  I realized that taking them in and out by elevator is not my favorite thing.  I have never minded living in apartments but I want to live in the style apartment where I can step outside to take them out for biz.  So much easier! 

In the bigger game plan is to move some place that has winters that are less harsh.  It turns out Stamford has great summers, but overall is not my nirvana.  And that is the beauty of it all, we are free to dream, try new things and if it doesn't work the way we planned, try something else.  Not a bad life, eh?

So tell me something great that has happened to you, something you are pondering, or whatever you feel you'd like to get off your chest.  And remember, like attracts like!
