Sort of how I feel these days...
I have begun experimenting with my time, now that my schedule is semi-settled once again and this website is one of the things that I am working on changing. A Monday/Wednesday/Friday posting schedule is no longer doable for me, so I am implementing some changes...
As they say, "The only thing constant in life is change," so I am going to try and do/schedule posts on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the time being and then there is also The Wayfarers Journey Braid to round everything out.
Everything right now feels like a re-set. I am trying to figure out what I want the structure of my life to be (right now it is pretty much filled with early morning baking at a cafe in town and full weekends at the vegan meal service). I do enjoy both jobs and they are both pushing my comfort zone, which is good, but I also still have that health coaching certificate that I want to use as well as travel again (Scotland)!
Work-wise, I would also like to have at least one full day off a week (right now I am working every day) and I would like to be able to go back to singing in the church choir on Sunday mornings (I had to sacrifice something to leave my former job).
All these things are in the process of shifting.
As for Scotland, well...that plan is completely in flux and a total unknown right now. I had been operating under the assumption I'd be able to participate in a visa program for recent college graduates and be placed in a culinary training program somewhere...but alas, the UK border agency only accepts degree students and my certificate won't cut it. That had been plan A for over a year...plan B was when I applied for a resident cook's job on Iona (even though I didn't really feel ready for it) but was not granted an interview. So now I am not quote sure what to do. I definitely have to pay down some student load debt and bulk up my savings account once again after nearly two years of volunteering and college courses. I am thinking about taking part in a sustainable living course at The Findhorn Foundation. I stayed out in that part of the country back in 2008, at the beginning of another part of my present journey. It is where I decided to start my blog and study herbal medicine, so I think it would make total sense. However, for that, I will definitely need to get my ducks back in a row and more money in the bank.
