Your career/calling

"Research shows that people spend less than thirty hours over their entire lifetime thinking about and researching their career choices. If you begin work at twenty years of age, work forty hours per week, and retire at sixty-five, you will have worked 93,600 hours in a job that may not have been your Calling."

I don't remember where I found this but GOSH let's do things differently!

Tell me

Shiny-eyed

I am excited about so many things right now!
Big changes are happening in my life and I am so ready for them. New home, new relationship, new business, new study, new friendships, new, new, shiny and new.
I feel like my life is being blown wide open and I can see for miles. I feel wide-eyed and open-hearted.
Sometimes it's scary... but I so want this, all of this.
It's what I've asked for, quested for... and it's coming, it's happening! Wooowwwwwwwww

Come, yet again

Come, come, whoever you are.

Wanderer, worshipper, lover of living, it doesn't matter.

Ours is not a caravan of despair.

Come even if you have broken your vow a thousand times,

Come, yet again, come, come.

Crazy day

all i did was listen

I am loving this blog.


I am so full of love and beauty and inspiration I just can't do anything today. There are lots of things I need to get done but I just want to hold this amazing feeling inside, honour and nurture it. That seems more important than assignments.

I want to cry
I want to lie out in the sun
I want to run
I want to read
I want to draw
I want to write
I want to make a dreamcatcher
I want to sing
I want to do everything and nothing
I want to burst open

My heart wants to burst open

There is more
