Wow, I just realized its been about a month since the last time I wrote. With news from my brother in Tenessee and two letters from my grandparents, and a few e-mails from friends in the NW, I decided it was time to write. My wicked cool roommate, Gavin, has let me into the office at the RSA (Retired Services ...) to use the internet! Which is sweet because it would normally cost an arm and a leg to use the internet for as long as I am.
So... what to say? when there is sooo much to say/share. and tell.... I am tired so this is going to be a bit scattered. I am caught in amazement by the beauty of life today, the uknown, and the possibility of allowing your dreams to unfold. I have met up with a fellow Lute (PLU - college) buddy named James Kozak. He is inspiring me to explore more and push myself further. I am eager to have more conversations and visit some places in the area.
I am working only at the cafe now. The gourmet burger joint laid me off due to lack of business. No business, no work. It's basic economics I suppose, but now I have to rely on the cafe to get me through to end of March... It will be fine I told myself...
and it all is.
Work at the cafe will pick up by Jan. 1st and I will be working 40 plus hours until the end of February.
Paying rent this month is pretty much covered as well. Here's the low-down... Two Argentine women who I apparently met at the packhouse when I was packaging kiwi fruit last May came to town. Ran into me at the cafe and said "Hey! I know you!" We got talking and they needed a room to rent so they are going to rent mine for the month so I can take off and explore a bit of NZ.
Transportation: I was lent a subaru sports car and only have to pay for the registration and warranty (140 NZ) and I get it for the rest of the year if I like... For now it will be a good car to tour the Coromandel ( we hope) and it can even fit a 9' surfboard in it. Sleeps one person (which is great b/c I don't have a tent) and it is comfortable to drive.
Yoga: will be studying and preparing my class. Come summer time I will be teaching 1 day a week. Gettin nervous thinking about it already. I've envisioned teaching yoga and conceived a few ways in which I could make that happen. But I never thought it would happen right here right now...so I got to go for it!
Send me good vibes as I prepare myself to teach and guide people in their yoga practice!! Miss you all sooo much....
