It Never Rains in Southern California ... they tell me

It is official. I am not moving to Oklahoma. We said yes and then we said no. I found a new job that actually pays a little bit better and I start Graduate School so I can pursue my dream. I know people are telling us the economy is tanked and I know we all know people who are in this process of change because of it ... but in Prince's words: I'm here to tell ya there's sumthin else. I refused to believe that I could not find another job. I refused to believe that I was somehow incapable of pursuing my dreams. We did not buy a house because we could not afford it and we have made very frugal choices in our lives ... while this does not insulate you from what has been happening all over the country and certainly is not the cause for the economy meltdown, for me it made me feel like there were possibilities. And, I pursued them. And, I am now working towards achieving me. The moral to my preaching story is that you do not have to believe the hype. Change is the death of something which means it is the birth of something new.

While the banks may own the country, we can still own our choices in how we live and how we decide what is important to us. Enjoy life. Love life. Live life.

Many smiles to you all .............

WOW Brooklynn, this post made me smile. It's so very true that "Change is the death of something which means it is the birth of something new." I recently quit a steady job in Portland to move to the Bay Area without a job guarantee. I closed one door and another one opened here in the Bay. (I got a job as a Study Coordinator working with the National Institute of Health!)

I'm very glad to hear that you're as happy and migraine-"free" as you are - amazing results hormones have on our bodies, eh?

I really like the idea that it isn't luck which created our positive situations - that we created the opportunities for our life to be what it is. Totally great reminder!

Yes, happiness seems to have been a great cure for my migraines ... and going off the birth control pill. I still get them every now and then. Now it is about once every other month versus once per week and it is always stress related. I'm still getting botox too which I really think has helped.

I am studying Clinical Psychology. I have always wanted to be a therapist deep down inside ... I think I was to emotionally unhealthy to acknowledge and pursue it before. I am in class and I feel really good. I even find myself having more compassion in my day (even with all of the political drama happening lately). It has been a journey to get here and I am happy that I found my path. WHOOOT WHOOOT!!!!

Thanks!! Ya know .... I keep thinking how lucky I am ... and then I think wait a minute. I created this. To say that I am lucky is to negate all of my hard work. So, instead I say that I participated in my happiness. This life is such a wonderful gift!

Thank you for reading and many hugs to you!

The beauty of possibilities and opened windows! I love your refreshing attitude Brooklyn, and I wish you wonderful things as you pursue your dreams. The best place in the world to be is on top of a skyscraper looking down - the perspective is enormous.... and quite enlightening. :)

Great post, Brooklyn. The mind is like a computer--garbage in garbage out. Keep filling the mind with vision and possibilities and who knows what can happen. I'm experiencing a bit of this right now. Keep up the great work.
