Crossroads

Life again has come to a major crossroad. I feel the emotions boiling up in side of me, creating an overwhelming sensation of being too full! Of course, the fact that it is still morning and I've just kissed my sweetheart good-bye and I am alone in the apartment effects my state of being. I tell myself, the more I practice yoga, the more I'll be able to let this feelings go like the reseeding tide of the ocean.

My brother reminds me that writing is therapeutic and a way to share our journeys. The pen and paper have often been my companion on the road. The modern world has changed that- blogging- what a new concept for me! But I'm realizing also how incredible of a resource it is. I can get the word out to many- share- explore- read on....

So this boyfriend of mine- Joshua- is really into his music. We've got a great sound system and I got in trouble from the neighbor the other day for enjoying the quality of the sound! ha! I never thought that would be me on the other side of the door. Hmmm... oh well! There is sunshine coming through our ranch-sliding doors, the birds usually hang out for a fresh snack. Josh likes to feed them our day-old rice or stale crackers/bread. There are a few cats that come around two. I like having visitors! :) One thing I've happily noticed is that we have crickets in the city that are audible at night. I can also see the stars from our bed and a fern hangs just so I am able to feel like I'm in a subtropical, relaxed city. I didn't think I would like Auckland or find so many good things to say about it but it's growing on me... Josh has been encouraging and helping work on CV's and cover letters. Time is ticking. I've got until May 13th to get a job. If I come out on the unemployment side, I will more than likely go to Australia... Tonga is an idea as well. Josh can't support me for more than a month- he's struggling financially himself. So I come to this crossroad.....

And the journey continues....

Today I will join my friend Luciana for her yoga class and then a cup of tea/ lunch. I will come back to the apartment or go to the library to work on my job application(s). Wish me well as I prepare for the next stage of my journey....into the unknown.
