Changes, Changes :)

Hello friends, it's been a while since I've posted and my, how have things changed since then! The long anticipated (ahem, dreaded) date of August 10th has come and gone. Along with the job that started on that day. 

I decided, or perhaps made it 'public', that I was no longer going to go down the road to getting my CPA. This has been a long time coming, but it has taken me a while to get the courage to speak up and do something about it! To me, the rewards I would have gotten from the experience didn't measure up to the sacrifices I would have been making. I prayed about it and listened to my intuition to guide me in my decisions. I have no regrets thus far!

I feel as free as I did on the day I graduated from high school. The opportunities are endless right now. I am interested in so many other things, now I just have to narrow it down and get to it!! I'm pretty sure that the next step on my journey is yoga teacher training. I'm positive I want to do it at some point in my life, and I'm feeling that now is the time! The next training session begins on September 18th..right around the corner.

I am really passionate about sharing what I've learned in the past year with others. I've been reading many books about various topics that I feel could be of value to others. The information is out there but I'd like to present it in a concise, friendly way. I don't know yet what this entails, but we will see!! I am also super into spirituality so I'm trying to figure out how to work this into my everyday life and be able to share it with others.

What Am I Doing?

The time has come for me to resume studying for the remainder of the CPA exam. I'm half-way there. Two more sections left--the hardest two at that.

I have been trying to start studying for what seems to be like two weeks now. My mind/ego always comes up with 'more important' things for me to do. Miniscule house chores, internet surfing, learning about something else.

I would rather learn about yoga, the energy flow, presence, enlightenment, about our world, how to fix and change our world for the better, among other things. The last thing I care to learn about at this point is accounting. If anyone has any motivational words please share them with me. I need it!!

Thanks for listening. Peace.

So Much To Do...

You know how I get overwhelmed sometimes? Well, I'm overwhelmed and today I had a glimpse of one of my 'bad' days today. I didn't feel like doing anything and just wanted to sleep. I will not let this continue into tomorrow because I simply don't like feeling this way. I get overwhelmed when I start thinking about everything I'm going to do to the house. And when I'm going to study for the remainder of the CPA exam. And training Mack. And integrating the things I learn into my life. And the list goes on...

I have to step back and realign myself with the present moment. Quiet my mind and look to my inner peace. I have noticed that when I put this need (which, apparently, mine is larger than my peers) on the back burner I begin to get anxious, overwhelmed, and uneasy. I now know to use these signs as a reminder to focus on the big picture and be present. With the mind-chatter of the ego. Ahhhh....it feels so nice with silence.
