Housekeeping

I’m pulling you into WordPress.

You have no choice in the matter. I’m going to start writing exclusively on this blog for our communication, and by Hod, you’re going to be doing the same.

The purpose of this blog will be for us to communicate. I can even change the settings so it’s private, and only logged in users can see it. (I don’t feel a need to do this, but if it would help you be as candid as you would in an email, it’s what I recommend.)

I’ve sent you an invitation to contribute to this blog. Accept it, get a WordPress account, and add a post.

Also, be sure to click ‘Follow’ in the upper left hand corner. Then you will receive an email anytime I post – since I ‘Follow’ this blog, I will get an email anytime you post.

It’s like we’re emailing each other, but we are keeping the correspondence on this blog for review.

Eventually, you will be able to post the correspondences as clickable attachments on this blog.

It’s inevitable…you + wordpress.

  1. I’m on wordpress….. I mean, I have an account, and I did post one single blog. One.
    It’s here: http://beginanadventure.wordpress.com/
    It’s old.
    And I still can’t figure out how to post a ‘new post’ on this one, even though it is a) private and I can b) follow….
    perhaps I didn’t get the private posty post invite?
    And… I’ll do this for you because you are doing the quickbooks move-over for me.
    It’s a tradsie.

    I’ll spend some time with it this week.

    Anyway – Here is where I am at – in a nutshell, Yesod…. ah yes, Foundation. It’s kicking my ass.

    As you know, the living situation in Seattle with the roommates is almost unbearable. We have been looking HARD to find a new place for the last two weeks, with the goal of moving by Feb. 1st. (Or, I think perhaps I would probably murder them). Well, the day before we left to come to Hermiston and visit my folks (and do some work for them, to make some money to move out) we found the perfect place. PERFECT. But, the guy couldn’t meet us until Sunday – long story short, he booked some other lady to look at the place before us, and she said yes.
    The only reason I was planning to go back to Seattle was the hope of not living in that house. So, Yesod has kicked my ass in the avenue of foundation in my housing situation. And, we aren’t done yet.

    Currently, I’m at my folk’s house, with Drago, in the small-ass town I grew up in (and moved out of 3 days after graduating high school). It is weird. And, Yesod is kicking my ass in the way that I am getting slapped with the ‘foundation of my life’ right in the kisser. My folks (over the years) have become almost fanatically religious and republican.In a very religious and republican town. And… that stares me right in the face. This is my foundation? Crap.
    But, it does give me a quiet, clean, environment to collect my thoughts and organize all the other parts of my life that have gone to chaos. Although I am looking forward to today through Friday (my folks are at work and the house will be quiet and empty), yesterday she was home and she is a bit like a border collie. Anxious, always talking and herding.
    But today, oh today is freedom.

    So, with the freedom and quiet, I have some work to do. I want to have your accounting all cleaned up and ready to go for you by Thursday morning.

    I also need to figure out what I am going to do about my finances. It is definitely a foundation thing. According to my astrologer (who I love) the planets are finally starting to come around into the ‘support me in doing what I dream’ way (check it, since you are a capricorn too – http://www.astrologyzone.com) I have followed Susan Miller for years.
    Anyway, I have a collection of spoons that are worth about $8k – and that was my living/traveling money until I could generate some book sales, but the spoons aren’t selling. I have had them featured at a half-dozen antique shows and they just aren’t moving like I had hoped. Really, the only income I have is the work I am doing for you (which I ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATE!!!!) But, the reality of the situation is, I need to figure this out. The books aren’t really selling, and the spoons aren’t selling, so… there is a bit of weakness in that foundation for moving forward.

    Finally, I have been deep in the throws of battle of depression. It has hit me harder this year than I think it has ever hit me. Which adds more stress to the relationship/housing situation/ work thing/ etc etc etc.
    I’ve been trying to take the 5HTP, St John’s wort, exercising, eating/sleeping right, and attempting to find the positive, pretty and amazing in life but I just can’t shake it. And, I’m not sure I want to talk about it. It is one of those weird/hard conversations. People aren’t sure how to respond.
    “Oh, you are just sad, it will pass”
    But, calling depression sadness is like comparing a paper cut to cutting your hand off.
    Which I also part of the reason I am at my folks’. And, also part of the reason why Drago is with me. He knows, but my folks don’t.
    My battle with depression is not something I have ever really talked about. There are about 3 people in the world who know about the deep dark hole that is depression I fall into once in a while. So, congratulations, you are now privy to my little secret. My little secret of how I keep a collection of demons in my brain. Some days I win, some days they win.

    So, that is where I am at.

    I’m glad to hear everything is going well for you in Yesod. I really think the timing of our little apprenticeship has been perfect.
    Go easy on the rituals – meaning, don’t overdo it. Do enough where you feel full and energized, but not too much where it knocks you off balance. Yesod, although about Foundation is also about Balance. It is the final place where we can stand straight before we start reaching out to the branches and testing our balance.
