Today was awesome!
I removed expectations from my life, so when I woke up this morning, I had no idea how things were going to go. I knew there was a job interview on the schedule for noon, so I just lollygagged until I needed to get up and get ready for that. The interview went well, and I basically knocked it out of the park. I'll wait and see what they want to do.
That's enough shop talk. I got home, and had an amazing afternoon nap! I'm finding the best part of not having a job is definitely napping!!!
I was speaking to one of my good Judys, and she invited me to a guided meditation, so I knew I had a good way to spend my evening. She reheated some delicious taco soup, and we gathered to have a lovely four person dinner celebration of life. Honestly, I have a network of some of the most amazing people in my life right now. They are helping to create a truly magical human experience for me.
After dinner, we headed over to the venue for the guided meditation. If you aren't familiar, a guided meditation is a gathering of people, with a leader, the guide, that helps you to find your inner Zen. This is just a way to open your mind to dig a little deeper beneath the surface of your thinking potential. And there are crystals!!! (I love a crystal, mostly because they are of the earth, and they ground me.)
This meditation was very simple, however, very powerful. Follow me here, because I'm going to break down a few things for you. During a meditation session, you close your eyes, and basically forget that there's a human body attached to your brain. Your brain is your powerhouse. It controls all functions of your life, and well, your body is just your vessel that carries your brain around. If you haven't realized that yet, then please take the time to just get that fact straight. Your brain runs the show.
At this point in my life, I'm at a juncture. I'm not exactly sure what comes next, but I know it will be great. This meditation helped me to see more of my potential. I followed the guide, and I was able to experience a few things that I've never felt before. This isn't my first guided meditation, but each one offers a unique experience. I left feeling lighter. I left feeling like I knew a little more about myself. I left knowing that I was going in the right direction, and that my past would no longer dictate or influence my future.
After meditation, my gaggle of sweet friends decided it would be fun to go watch the sunset over the lake. It was so beautiful. (When I was younger, I would always go hang out by the lake front, walking and talking to my sweet friends, or a beau, here and there.) We had some of the most fascinating conversations, and we even played a game of, "Are they on a date?" When you surround yourself with like-minded people, you understand yourself better. You are able to see further than just your own perspective. I always feel so blessed to have these people in my life, my friends, my chosen tribe.
Then, I came home and had Butterfinger ice cream. The end!
Here's a picture from the lakefront!
