While at sauna this morning, breathing in the restorative steam solo in the steam room, I was thinking about my next mind movie, which is essentially a video vision board. I've known this was going to be an extended period of transition even before this major change due to my new job and new responsibilities. But I realized just how much I'll be ( Read more... )

So the time has now come- today is my final day of leave. Thankfully my re-entry will be somewhat gentle in that probably I'll do nothing but read emails and watch recorded meetings tomorrow, I'm off Wednesday, then work Thurs and Fri and off again on Saturday. I am so grateful for this time off, for the luxury of time itself not spent working for ( Read more... )

As part of my planned rest days/PTO after working the holidays, I've worked out at Mod Physique every day this week. This morning when the alarm went off, I realized I was dreaming I was in class! Funny. I also had a sauna/massage combo at Loyly, red velvet cupcakes have been purchased and eaten, and yesterday during a Portland group working day ( Read more... )

I'd posted about this in other social media, but one of the completely unexpected perks about moving into my new position in Resolutions & Rebookings is that our training was scheduled for the shockingly traditional 8-5, Monday-Friday. That means that for the first time since my original training at the end of July and early August, I have 2 days ( Read more... )

There are so many ways in which I feel more and more grounded these days- in recent days, it's because I came back from Harrisonburg with pretty much all of my belongings. The rug and bin that we shipped arrived yesterday, so it's all here now. In going through it, I came across two lovely and talisman-filled care packages from rainwish that hadn't ( Read more... )

I've finally created a small altar in my living space! This makes me incredibly happy. I was out at a gemstone and minerals place this morning for a very specific reason, and instead I came home with a small piece of peacock ore, and two tumbled stones, one of Australian something, and the other I can't really remember either. But it was pretty and ( Read more... )

I'm back at Airbnb effective immediately (though I don't have my laptop; I'll retrieve it tomorrow when I'm back at our Portland office) and very grateful. I have learned a tremendous amount about my own strength during this, as well as the amazing support and love that is granted so fully to me. Thank you all for your kind words during what was a ( Read more... )

I've been regularly engaging in positive visualizations and affirmations, something I've been referencing in recent posts. My affirmations tend to focus on three specific areas: my health and happiness; fulfilling work with meaningful compensation; my life with evannichols. The visualizations range around in those areas as well, though in the past two weeks I ( Read more... )

‡ Being able to hang up my laundry in the back yard on hangers and the chain link fence. I love letting Nature dry my clothes rather than using electricity.

‡ An unexpectedly quiet morning as some of the household left and the other two are still asleep. I would sit and relish the lack of TV noise and visualize about amazing things and my hopes ( Read more... )
