Moving on up....

Things have been a little crazy over here in Brookeville( well i wont sugar coat, its been straight-up, Paula Abdul style hectic.) Change is abundant and Im in a whirlwind between the likes of calm and refreshing newness and letting go of the old to make room, and the planning and strategizing to get the job done.

Two things are happening simultaneously. Im interviewing for jobs and my lovely roommate has found her love and is married to the man of her dreams, therefore, I am moving. Yesterday I spent the whole day forsaking looking for my next career move and began to pack my life away. It is always funny how many things you truly do accumulate over the years. Im thankful for Pandora and my Ambrosia station I created, along with old school R & B, the music echoes a time and place of the past, quite fitting. I have been purging to aid in the cleansing of it all but sometimes I see the use of something that i havent used in years and just see alot of potential that I cant let go. However, Ive been good and realize that space is limited and Id rather hang unto memoirs of my life rather than that beautiful vintage food warmer Ive never used but got it at a steal for $3.00 at garage sale. I had to give it up. After all, someone may actually use it and it could have its due diligence to show off its beauty at some dinner party.

I am moving temporarily to a friends and am sub-leasing from her while she is in Thailand. She has a very calming and hippy way about her and Im happy to stay within her energy (and super soft bed mind you) while she is bouncing around finishing her studies and doing amazing things in this world. Meanwhile, my things will be placed into storage as i figure out my next steps in life prior to getting a place of my own (and a puppy). I realized late last night while laying in bed that I have a master bedroom closet full of clothes. I thought to myself how funny that this closet space was built for two people!!!! Are you kidding? I have it filled from end to end with my stuff. Time to purge and cleanse and let it go. I am procrastinating the clothes until last minute. Clothes do not make the man, but they may just make the woman.

As all of this change is coming in and out of me, I realize how truly cool it will all be. I will not only have a job soon, but it will be one that will be a good fit. The job search process has been quite interesting but one thing Ive learned is that as a potential hire you have the power to also decide if the position will be a good fit for you. Im taking my time but making valiant efforts to make it right. Setting myself up for success is my new motto.

I also realize how change will happen, in fact change is always happening, even as you read this blog with every sentence something is happening inside you changing. But Im talking really about BIG changes. For me, i generally go through multiple BIG changes every couple years and I am long overdue on this one. But something feels different from any other major transitions I have been through. Although my minds been crazy and Ive been all over the place (see previous blog where my mom had to call me out for not correctly writing a haiku...I mean really Brooke? :) there is some solace that this is leading to better things. I do not know and will not know what those things are until then are in front of me but if I can keep my blind faith (which I always have), this change will come over like waves of knowledge , love and understanding for myself and the world around me, (my spiritual GOD, Universe, peace and love) like I never knew before.

So forgive me if we should meet and Im a little off, Im merely taking all of this marrow out of life and sucking it dry.

Be the change you want to see in this world, and see the change in the world that has come to be.

Any changes going on in your life?
