After all … tomorrow is another day.
Yez, Miz Scarlet, it is.
I’ve been spending time in the last few weeks finding out who my real friends are. And really they are exactly who I thought they were. Yay! I’ve been getting wonderful advice and lots of loving support.
I was smart enough last week to know that I needed some help healing and made an appointment for last night with my good friend who is an acupuncturist and a reiki master. Which was great timing because I really needed some help AFTER the event. She was also my High Priestess in Outer Grove. Although we don’t circle together currently I still consider her to be my High Priestess. She along with the woman who was my High Priestess in Uncle Tom’s Coven. I still consider them so simply because I hold them in high esteem and value their friendships so much. With yesterday’s exception once my HPS, always my HPS.
Last night she lent an ear and let me cry and tell her the entire story, which she didn’t know. I hadn’t been telling anyone (until December) because I was so sick of the drama. I only had the energy to deal with what was right in front of me. She responded with all the right reactions in all the right places. I felt so validated. She even got a tidge catty which helped so much. We both agree that this weird cough and loss of voice has something to do with all the pain I’m holding in my chest.
I didn’t get to sleep all that well, toxins coming out and still reverberating over the stuff from earlier in the day, but slept well once I got there. I feel pretty good today. A very slight emotional hangover but I feel that I’m doing exactly the right things. My higher self still loves The Ex very much but the day to day me really is done with that chapter. I am very glad that we had such a nice parting in person last Saturday. It was sweet and loving and I want that to be what I remember (while never forgetting that I don’t want to do this particular thing again)
Last night I painted all my nails, hands and feet, a lovely pink shade that turns to silver. I selected the color as a bit of protection and healing, the pink for love and affinity, the silver because it is the color of my aural egg and the color of the goddess. This morning on the bus I noticed that it also changes to gold. So glad the God decided to stop in too.
As I was walking to my office from the bus stop this morning I noticed that a pink camellia, which has been in bloom all of December, was STILL in bloom. I asked if I could cut a tiny bloom, it was granted, and so I did. So here it is. My own little spring. Right here and Right now.
Other things are moving well too. I’ve been selling tons of stuff and have made quite a little bundle of money. I have a trip to the post office Saturday morning and will be meeting some folks for hand offs but for the most part, this is done. And if the brown wool kirtle doesn’t sell? That’s totally cool as the brown wool is truly luscious, the gown fits without binding like the linen ones do (wool is stretchy), and it might come in handy some day…
Discovered yesterday that my co-worker here also works part time in the same department where I applied for the new job. Turns out she knows the top dog for the job very well. And she sent him this letter yesterday afternoon Goddess bless her and keep her:
Hi S.,
I wanted to drop you a line because I just found out that a co-worker of mine, Cynthia, has applied for the webmaster position at the iSchool. (I think you are in charge of this department?)Cynthia and I both work in the Information Core for the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology (CSDE). She brings a lot of creativity and thoughtfulness to our team and is a pleasure to work with day-to-day. She always responds quickly to the CSDE staff and faculty needs, helps out her co-workers, and overall brings a lot to the table. I will be very sad to see her go, but understand why she is up for a new challenge.She doesn’t know I am emailing, but I wanted to let you know that after working with the faculty and staff of the iSchool and attending the faculty meetings, I feel she would be a good fit for the iSchool “faculty/staff of one.”
Thanks, B.
And this was his reply:
Thanks B. – I very much appreciate the information! We are just starting to look at the candidates now so it is very timely.
Made my day! I know I’m in the flow when stuff like this starts to happen. I feel as though I’ve put my wish out there and have let it go but it sure is nice to get little positive nudges. I’m happy in this job I have now but it would be very cool to get this other one. Our current team has broken apart recently due to some aggressive new people and that makes things a bit less than comfortable. And the pay? What do you expect from a center that is completely academic and its research is in the social sciences. Information pays so much better.
Oh! And I forgot to mention that Skanky Nasty Bitch, who wanted to go to Sundays membership ritual never showed up. Banishing is working just fine.
