sharing from Austin, TX

so...the time has come for me to start sharing more of my life with the world. i plan on doing this in little snippets, sharing whatever bits of insightful wisdom i can think of with the rest of you each and every day. (i'll do my best!) i am honoring that little voice inside my head that tells me that what i have to give, through this blog, is important. so here i go...

first of all...let's play catch up! i just moved to Austin, TX. yes...THIS girl from upstate NY is now living in the transient, musical, nature loving city of "weird". it's a change, to say the least. my boyfriend, Tom, and i arrived here at the beginning of october. now, i expected it to be warmer here than in New York, but it is now nearing the END of october, and it's still HOT!! i mean, it feels like the middle of july. yesterday, Tom and i sat in the park under the shade of a tree, sun blazing through the branches, blue skies above, green grass underfoot. it AMAZES me! it really does. i almost feel like i'm in a time warp. my head can't seem to wrap itself around the reality of my physical situation. and that, in and of itself, is probably the weirdest concept for me to grasp, so far, being a northeastern, upstate girl now living in Texas!!

needless to say, Tom and i are still getting settled. there's still unpacking to do, organizing, painting, more unpacking! every day we get a little closer to "normalcy". we're also still figuring out how to create income for ourselves. Tom's been working hard looking for jobs, and has a few leads. he's even got a Director of Photography position in the works for a local company!! i'm proud of him. i've been working on getting my Soul Coaching practice started. YIPPIE!!! i can't wait to get "my business" off the ground! it fills me with so much joy to be able to focus on something i love every day. i know i am blessed!! still, until i start rolling in the dough via "my business", i need to get some money generating, so i've started looking for some server positions around town. i remind myself that my life is full of abundance...so i know something "just right" will come along. :)

whatever happens, i know that both Tom and i will be where we are supposed to be, in alignment with our highest good, while we live here in Austin. i'm trusting the universe to lead me (and he) on my (on our) best path(s). today i felt inspired to write, so that's what i did. listening to my heart and paying attention to the signals sent my way through synchronicities. that's the best way to live! life is so beautiful, and i'm happy to be able to share it with you!!
