OMG!!!!!!!!
I actually did my writing yesterday, but I lost the document-it’s gone. See, my daily writing process involves using MSWord to write, send a copy to MB, and copy-paste into LJ. Because I worked at my family’s business all day yesterday, I didn’t want to save the document to their computer. So my plan was this: write in Word, copy-paste to LJ, and send a draft to MB later-without saving it. Mistake.
But oddly enough, I don’t care. Why? How could I possibly not care that I lost my daily writing? Because (1) I had an amazing idea; (2) I found a house downstate that I’m positively twitterpated over; and (3) I got paid for talking to a real estate agent, looking at pictures and loading up a virtual shopping cart at homedepot.com with new appliances, front door, and light fixtures.
So…here we go-this is yesterday’s writing and today’s writing all at once.
First, my amazing idea-the subject of yesterday’s vanished prose-is a type of consulting/life-coaching that takes emphasis off goal-setting striving and refocuses the client on getting clear on intentions and arriving. It’s all about how not to pinch off your tube!! It’s all about dismantling uninvestigated beliefs, rooting out resistance and dissolving it. Ask, and it is given, you know?
I can pull together everything I use to do my own stuff: life-mapping, meditation, feng shui, time-management, organizing, and even looking to astrological charts’ north and south nodes for insight into the blueprint that is this lifetime. Utilizing the east-meets-west teachings and techniques of contemporary Zen authors like Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Wayne Dyer and Steve Chandler, I can help others drop their story, be present in the Now, believe it to achieve it, and make commitments to get into their FLOW. In fact, that’s what I think it should be called!
Flow. Or,
Fló(w)
Flô
Flõ
Flö
Flōw
Flŏ
As you can see I have a thing for random use of meaningless diacritical marks. Although, ask yourself this: Why does “flow” rhyme with “go” and “though” but not “plow”?? I’m so glad the most difficult language is my first. Seriously. That’s crazy.
I’m still working out the details, but this is exciting.
And…
Topic #2-which I’m about to burst at the seams over-a super-cool house I’m falling in love with:
I put out to the Universe (no shit!) that I wanted a non-ranch, four-bedroom, two-or-three-bathroom house, with at least 3,000 sq. ft. of living space, a large garage or usable basement for Tim’s studio, an office area for myself, and interesting or unique architectural features, oh! with a laundry room (ideally on the 2nd floor), a big kitchen w/ a pantry, a master bedroom with its own bath and walk-in closet, and hardwood floors. Ideally, I wanted new construction w/ no need to rip off a roof, nor update wiring/electric/plumbing/etc. Did I mention this house had to be under $125,000?
OMFG.
I found it. Listed at $124,958. No shit. Can you believe it?? Did I ask? Yes, I did. Was it given? Yes, I was.
Would you like to see????? Of course you would!!! Okay, okay. See some specs here, see photos here.
Tell me this isn’t so totally ME!!!! You can’t! You can’t say it isn’t, because it IS.
Now, I wasn’t specific on location (I know! location, location, location-whatever), so that was not really vibrated in. The house is in Lerna; however, that still puts the kids in the Charleston school district, so there’s that. And it’s just less than 10 miles away from EIU.
This is all assuming, of course, that I get a job. Have I mentioned to the Universe that I would like to get a job at EIU? Let me do that now.
And, after a year, they love me so much that they have to give me a tenure-track job, and eventually tenure. And I live out my days being super cool in my house, at my job, writing new age spiritual children’s’ books, and helping people get into the Flõ, while my husband does his art. We will have grand gatherings in this house. I’m already moving in, you know. I’ve already imagined the invites for the housewarming!!
I seriously lost sleep over this.
But I’m too giddy to care!!!!!!!
I can see it happening. I really can. And I love, love, love what I see!
(PS -- We’re going to go look at it next Saturday!!!!!!!!!!)
