no formulated thoughts at the moment...

 So let's just see what comes out... it's just kinda laughably ridiculous how quickly things can change in life. I'm just glad that life has developed me so well that I can pretty much just roll with the flow/blows that are dealt to me, and I get back up on my feet rather quickly. 

I thought for sure that the gig at Whole Foods was going to have me set for a good long stretch of life. I was going to make more money for less effort than any other gig I've been working at for years now. And I thought I read all the signs correctly and that I was making the right choice in getting this job. But Ye Gods had something different in mind and I was forcibly exited from that position after just being there for 3 weeks.

And what are my new plans? Thankfully Ye Gods picked me up and placed me into 2 really good-paying pet sitting jobs, which might enable me to put aside enough money for a trip to Minnesota at the end of October. There are so many things that can happen (see above) that could make this not work out, but for now I am comforted by the visage of it all working out.

Other than that, I don't have much else in mind. Whole Foods told me that they would rehire me if I wanted to come back for a job after my physical therapy for this wound is complete. This wound is so substantial though that I don't know if I'll ever completely recover from this damage to my shoulders. So I'd pretty much say that I don't think going back to work there will work out. The other aspect of that idea is that this really was like Ye Gods telling me, WE DON'T WANT YOU TO WORK THERE. There are indicators in my natal birth chart that also suggest that I should not be coerced by lucrative offers to work at a job of that sort.

When I first lost that job, I felt an immediate inspiration to publicize my ability to offer Reiki healings to the public, and I created an account on Fiverr... so far only two people (both of whom know me personally) have seen and requested healings from me there. That was about 3 weeks ago when I created that account and there has been zero traffic. I shared the site with my Facebook followers where it pretty much fell on deaf ears. Situation: NORMAL. I also created two other "gig work" accounts on TaskRabbit and Care.com - neither of which have I followed up on looking for gigs to do, yet. 

Part of my hesitancy there is that I am very incapacitated from this injury right now. I have never expereinced an injury like this, ever in my entire life. It's WEIRD not being able to move normally. The other thing I'm still considering doing with myself is to volunteer as a Reiki Master for a local county hospice program. But I have so many reservations about whether I'm strong enough emotionally to do that kind of work.

One thought I was entertaining while walking in to the library here, where I'm sitting writing this now was remembering how much I used to enjoy visualizng the potential possibilities for life fulfillment I used to have when I dreamed about sharing an abode with my best friend. I spent years imagining how great life would be if we both lived in the same house and would be available as real-life in-person inspiration and project co-workers for each other. Since she has settled down and has a family of her own now, the remote possibilities of that ever happening in this lifetime have dried up. And now there is no one else that I have a shared common interest with that I could imagine doing such things with. But I remember how great those imaginations were. They empowered me so much. I miss even just being able to dream and think, WE COULD DO SO MANY POWERFUL AND WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL THINGS if we could simply live in the same house together. And I'm just talking roommates, not love partners. Maybe since I had this rememberance when I walked in here today, I can start to put some dream energy into trying to attract a new person to me that I could do such things with.

The other thing that I'm experiencing this week are meditations and healings related to and benefited from the Lion Gates portal energy that is opening up (August 8 is the Lion's Gate)... The past 2 years I had great experiences from this time period. This year it feels a little bit less resonate with me, but I'm still standing in the light and energy of it all and letting it do for me what it will.

Okay, I think I'll let this be all I'll say for now. Thank you for reading!
