I BELIEVE!!!!

When I resigned from my job a couple of months ago, I thought I would be a lot closer to figuring out what I want to be when I grow up by now. Truth is, one of the few items I have figured out is that I don't want to figure it out. I don't want to waste any more of my life worrying about months end, hitting quota, and rushing towards the never ending finish line. So my dear friends/amigos, it is time to admit (just like most of you do every week in AA after a binger), I am turning over a new leaf. I am living in the present moment.

I have never been one of those to post updates like, "I'm so thankful for _____" or "I am blessed because of _____", messages on Facebook. I have not been a huge believer in vision boards, rocks, or whatever the Secret is preaching. Things will not magically appear because you cut them out of a magazine and glued them on a board. Pah-lease. I for one save all my believing for Unicorns and Santa Claus cause really, why wouldn't I?

But back to my new way of life. The living in the present lifestyle could also be described as the hippie/buddhist/Eckhart Tolle way of life. For example; Most of you have noticed my hair has more volume these days and is quite shiny. That can be attributed to the hippie lifestyle, I wash my hair like once a week. The rest is really just a mind set. So I would like to jump up to Step 8 (for my AA amigos) and apologize in advance for living in the now. This means I do not make plans, commitments, or buy gifts (as that would involve planning). This also means I don't think about what might happen if I shoplift, or have a baby, because I am living in the moment and not cluttering my mind with future dealings.

I appreciate your understanding and look forward....oh wait, I'm living in the present so I can't look forward (or backwards), well just thanks for understanding! Bear hugs to all and keep in mind I might be selling a child soon!
