Blog Blog Blog -Gab Gab Gab

Well as you may have guessed if you read the blog portion of my page, I have been busy. A few months back, about six, I transferred to a different location at the company I am employed at.

 I am now in a school type setting working with mentally retarded adults. I work almost all the time in the room where the men and women need total care such as  feeding, diapering, and help in all other ways.

They are mostly in wheelchairs and can do little, if anything for themselves. We enrich their day with different types of activities such as music, bowling, sensory experience, dance, aerobics, arts and crafts, science and nature etc.

We have all ages from those in their early 20's to 86 and maybe older ! ..

All those I take care of and interact with on a daily basis are wonderful and beautiful and I learn many things from them every single day.

I LOVE MY JOB ... and I love what I do for these people. The love I get back from simply singing a song to them or smiling is worth more than any other job I have ever had.

SO I have...

I look back up on my last entry which was in July  ! I marvel at how much has changed in my life.  How much simpler certain circumstances have made my life and also how out of necessity, slowing myself down has become a must.

I have to admit I am jealous of some of my younger counterparts at work and around me. Those people younger than me tire less easily, they have nowhere near the responsibilities I have, and they can walk from one thing to the next without worrying about being 'too old' LOL !

I have never considered myself old, well maybe back when I turned 30 and I had a two year old who never slept and a husband who was never home and I felt tired all the time. I do marvel though how when she was four, I was taking singing lessons, working part time, going to some college classes ( which I loved) and singing with two chorales.  I was busy and had no time to think, until I got sick.

I got sick with a vengeance and it changed the course of many things, I went to a speech therapist to make sure...

Well ..... I have begun a new job and I must say a new career .. and at this stage of the game there is a lot of learning for me... I will fill in more details later on ... and as always it has to be confidential .. let us just say I am going to be working with some really special people and I am so looking forward to it ...

One of the things I learned becoming a Minister and also having a healing practice and learning all the facets of healing and helping others along the path of life... is ... You have got  to be flexible and be ready to do an about face and be able to turn on a dime. It certainly keeps it interesting.

Being of a scorpio with a virgo rising mindset - lol - one of the biggest 'problems' I have this lifetime is when things are 'not in order' .. Really I cannot stand it when I cannot see all things in front of me or around me. Yes I am Very good at 'thinking on my feet' but .. I also need to have a good semblance of...

It has been two months since I have updated my web page and written any blogs. When I look back I wonder, what in the world have I been doing ?

Oh yes ... looking for a job.  I submitted resumes and went on interviews and gave  my life history and then some, LOL .. was tested and told they would do a background check ( for a secretarial job come on! ) ..

Technically the one place would hire me if I can work a shift, they are all weekend and overnights. If I work those shifts, I will not have time for the other things in my life such as healing clients and My Ministry etc.

I have put a page on here advertising myself as an Office Genie, I am very good at organizing and creating efficiency in an office setting. I also am very good at helping it to become more of a welcoming and relaxing environment.

I also began my beading work again, I love it so much LOL I wonder why I ever stopped. I design beautiful one of a kind crystal bracelets. I also design chakra bracelets and pendulums and window hangings. I have been...

Well here it is almost a month later and I am still searching for work .. I have applied to several places looking to work with mentally challenged adults. I would have to go through training - but no problem there, it's just that I am not hearing anything. I realllllllly do not want to go the medical office route again - but I am leaving myself open to spirit on this one.

I am working on my photographs I have so many now I need to narrow down what I am still wanting to take a picture of. I love buzzing along the roadways camera in hand ready to take pics. I am blessed I am able to do it.

My kids both have online stores, selling merchandise via auction. That market is not what it once was, it is sort of saturated- however - I do believe if someone is supposed to purchase from you .. they simply will. I have been thinking of making some chakra bracelets and some rosaries and prayer beads and other things to sell on my daughters page. Ya never know.

I am of course looking to hold seminars and teach of course,...

A month in which I learned a whole lot about myself. Some of it the hard way.

As times in the spiritual practice realm are certainly changing, I am in need a more steady income and decided to venture out into the world once again. I found what seemed like a good job, decent - not wonderful pay and 30 minutes from home. I have always been very effecient at office work but have been out of the 'loop' for years. I have kept my computer knowledge pretty much up to date and have working knowledge of most of the programs used out there today.

I have an outgoing personality and many credentials having worked in and around the medical environment for years on and off and also just being an organized and leadership type of personality. I am pleasant and happy and bring light to whatever setting I allow myself to enter. I was hired on the spot at the interview.

LOL - That was as good as it got. I quickly found out that I was in a huge, confusing and totally disorganized matrix. I was working for a firm that helped people who needed much help. That is...

Well it is that time of year where everyone gets a little crazy. I am sitting here updating my web page which has needed serious updating for some time now, looking at my stack of Christmas cards I need to write out and send by tommorow if there is any hope of people getting them before Christmas is actually here ! There are some people who have NO Idea where we even live now LOL .. We have moved twice in three years, finally staying put here as long as Spirit allows it :)

I am no longer one for a whole lot of holiday shopping. I have changed very much in the past decade, my values changed as did my economic status LOL ! I have to say all for the better. As life walks you along the path of transition from one life circumstance to the next, I realize that I no longer need to buy so many items to assure other people's love for me.

I used to go out of my way to buy almost everyone in my life at least a little something. I have long since learned to understand that it was never a great...
