Better than a blank page...

The first entry is always the hardest, isn't it?  Whenever I start a new journal, I struggle with the first page.  I feel like it should say something profound, something that's going to convince you I am the wisest being on earth and you should read all my daily ramblings.

Truth be told, I'm not likely to come up with anything profound.  So far, I haven't been given any great insights by the universe.  There are no spirits/angels/gods who have chosen me to deliver their message to humanity.  My spirit guide lets me know he's there by holding my hand while I meditate, but he never has anything to say.  In that sense, he really isn't much of a guide.  I'm not really sure what he is, but I know he loves me, so I let him hang around.

Lacking any profound thoughts, all I can do is tell you about me, and what I'm doing here on Zaadz.  Later this year is the big "four-oh" for me.  I don't know if that is the reason, but I woke up in January knowing that my life had to change.  (So I can't say I wasn't warned!)  I haven't even made it half-way though the year, and my life is headed in a whole new direction.  Some of the changes I manifested, and the rest were pieces falling into place.  I've been meeting the right people, getting the right opportunities, and discovering all the right things.  (Anyone want to guess why my screen name is Serendipity?)

I'm easing my way into a new job that's going to transition me out of the corporate world and into my dream life.  Next week I start 200-hour hatha yoga teacher training.  I'm doing some writing workshops and working on some fiction.  All kinds of previously stagnant creative energies are flying around me now.  There are so many things to do, some days I think I'm going to explode - in a good way.  (Not in the creepy suicide bomber kind of way.)  I marvel at how my life could change in such a short time.  We have so much power, don't we?  If we can change our own lives by just deciding to change, imagine what we could do if we all decided to change the world!  Of course, that's why we're here at Zaadz.

So this is where I am today:  I am an accountant (you can stop yawning now) who really wants to open a yoga studio and write novels.  I am happily married to a wonderful, silly man who actually believes I can pull off this great energetic shift.  I have a 13-year-old daughter, who is marvelously creative and talented, and a 3-year-old son, who is destined to be a knight in shining armor.  I am Wiccan.  We have two border collies, because life needs a little chaos.  We also have a lizard - a bearded dragon - who is the ultimate zen pet.  We have a house in the suburbs and a cabin in the mountains, and I garden in both places.  I've been doing yoga for over ten years and prefer vinyasa because it requires all of my focus.  I love to read, and could easily lose days to a good book.  I feed the birds.

Well, now here is entry number one where the blank page used to be.  I hope you weren't disappointed by the lack of useful insight into the great mystery of existence.  I look forward to getting to know you.  Maybe we'll have the same thought, and something wonderful will happen.

Blessings, love and light to all.
