Decisions, decisions
So there is this big question about whether or not I will try to buy a house in the next few months. That seems pretty huge. I am not sure yet.
There are something like six different things which have caught my eye for the next couple of years which I would dearly love to take. If I am going to buy a house, then I need to decide on perhaps one of them to be able to do. I may be able to do more once the initial purchase and monthly expenses get worked out, but there is no way for me to sign up for them all right now, which is what seems to be calling in some respects.
There is the last year long Mystery school through Diana's Grove
There is the witnessing delegation trip to Palestine and Israel, which would probably have to be a 2011 thing, as it will require fundraising
I was just emailed that parts two and three of the sacred sex magic series by two people I highly respect are going to be offered in Seattle over the next few months
Several of the Witchcamp stories have called to me for the coming year
There are workshops that I really want to take at the Northwest Woodworking Studio
I would really like to find another counseling training somewhere here in Portland
I was told about a class which is about balancing the hermit with community, how do you balance self care and service to/life in community
I wonder if this perhaps is the answer - that I really want to spend money on developing me, rather than on buying some place. I do want to own my own place some time. I even had a sudden desire to go and look at retreat centers for sale this morning, and found a number of nice looking places (of course they are all horribly expensive, far out of my price range, and would require moving).
So what do I want?
