2012, 2013, 2014

Believe it or not, I completely forgot about my blog and accidentally rediscovered it after looking up my name on Google around 7 o'clock this morning. Holy cow! I'm a damn good writer if I really apply myself. Well 2012 and 2013 were "horrible" years in which I suffered financially, nearly faced apartment eviction, and could not find a decent job to save my soul. Talk about disastrous! I could not wait for 2013 to end and here it is, late September, and 2014 will be over in several weeks. What have I been doing? Well I didn't lose my apartment, thank goodness, but when though bedbugs, roaches and even an onslaught of flies. Mind you, I keep my place as tidy as possible even with four adult cats. So I'm ready to "move on" at some point and my lease expires in January 2015. We'll see how that goes. Yearly rent increase should be 1% this time around so I might manage to stay through 2016 if that's where the Universe wants me to be. Do I want to stay there? Not really but I have to figure out if staying in NYC is doable or it's time to get the heck out of dodge.

I have a day job now working in customer service since February. I don't want to go on any tangents regarding present employment but my intention is NOT staying here past a year or at least 18 months. I'm already looking ahead for much better opportunities. In fact, I recently enrolled in a metaphysical doctorate degree program from University of Sedona, a  non-secular accreditation which requires intense distance learning.  I'm ready for this! I've been ready for change since late spring. I'm tired of settling for less knowing I deserve more but progress starts with me. I still conduct intuitive readings but getting away from woo woo psychic stuff and more into counseling and parapsychology. Instead of giving away "easy answers", I empower the client to dig deep -- really deep -- to unravel spiritual truths. The trigger behind my decision to focus on self empowerment was a session I had with a young lady at my home earlier this year who didn't want to hear anything else but what she wanted to hear. She then claimed the consultation was unsatisfactory and proceeded to get her money back which was unsuccessful on her part. I declared never, ever giving away feelgood info if the recipient is only open to bit pieces.

I'm at work now typing the latest goings on. My grandmother died last year and I'll have to blog about that experience another time. Also I'm trying to get closer to my parents - mom in particular - but we're so different on so many levels it's hard to relate sometimes. I guess that's the case with many parent-child relationships especially when parents are senior citizens and need a little extra TLC now and then.

Back to the doldrums I return. Universe please save me!

Until next time...
