I Love Being Self-Employed, Except When I Have to Work
I actually like Mondays. I know I'm in the minority, here, but Mondays are like a fresh, clean piece of paper, and I kind of revel in the possibilities. I usually work weekends, teaching and practicing Reiki, so this is a slower day for me. However, this day I must conceptualize, summarize, and outline-ize my newest body & brain column, and I only have one day to do it because of other deadlines. Although I love being self-employed, writing in my jammies, and otherwise being a non-conformist, I don't feel like writing today, and I'm not fond of my new editor. But, hey, being a columnist is cool, I guess.
The concept for the next magazine is "Anti-Aging," and I think I'll do my column on anti-aging herbs, because I'm required to fill 1/3 of the piece with recipes. The challenge isn't in coming up with a good article, it is in impressing my young, passionate editor, who loves her job and really needs to believe that everyone wants to be her "when they grow up." Sigh. I love humanity. It's the people I can't stand.
I'm excited about my Craft class tonight, because it's about invocation, an activity that I have been holding off on until it is appropriate to my level of instruction. I have accidentally invoked a couple of times, and find it increasingly difficult to keep Her out when I'm priestessing the full moon circles, so hopefully, this step will be helpful. Learning control of the skill is just as important as learning the skill.
Looking very forward to Thanksgiving this year, and am just sorry that we have so many places to go that we must decline some invitations. I usually host, but this time I'm just gonna show up at people's houses and eat their food. Heaven!
