In an interesting turn of events…
8 04 2008a) I’ve got two interviews this week
b) I’m going to church (yes church) on Saturday night
c) I’m overflowing with creativity
What a change since a day or two ago. Seriously, all my realizations and awakenings have created a big shift in my life. First, non-creativity related (sort of), I have two interviews. One is on Thursday morning with an in-house design studio. It’s the ideal job for me… part time, flexible, fun environment. I want this one. Friday morning, I interview with a branding firm. I love branding (just not the logo part). Downside? Full time. Pew. The first one would be mighty cool I think… may even work if the club ever comes through.
Next… I’m going to church on Saturday. A little background… summed up nice and neat: I don’t believe in the god or religion I was raised to believe in. I was raised Catholic. I hate the stuffiness… the you’re going to hell for everythingness… the judgmentalness… etc. I don’t believe in a god that would send me to hell if I died without wearing a little felt necklace… yeah. no beans. What I believe in… is the Buddhist way of thinking. The golden rule… a higher power I don’t understand. Putting yourself out there to the world. Which I’ve been doing, and since then have had massive changes in my life towards the goals I want. I went to wing night tonight with A and her friend AR. I love AR, great girl. Just like me. Her church views were just like mine are now… and she loves this Christian church she’s going to. It’s “fun”, they gear everything towards you and how it will help in your life, it’s a community. So when she invited me I thought, what the heck. Part of my search is for more spirituality, balance and peace in my life. I read somewhere once you should check out every religion and pull what works for you into your life. So, what the heck… If you don’t hear from me after Saturday, it means I burst into flames upon entering the church….
And last… I’m busting at the seams with creativity. It’s wonderful. I feel alive, while not fully, enough to want to seek out more. I keep having great ideas. One after the other… tonight I had a really great one! They just keep getting better. I’m not telling what, but I promise to share as it unfolds. I can’t wait to get started. I also tried “playing” with mediums today for the side blog. Hard to do… hard to shed the expectation shell. But I’m working on it. And it’s fun once I get into it. Yay!
I’m glad you’re feeling so great and creative!!
I was raised Catholic as well. I’m still Catholic, but I have my own views. I enjoy the figure of Mary in the church, but I despise the practice of “confession.”
Good luck on your interviews!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m also a recovering Catholic… hahah.
I wanted to respond to your Etsy questions. There is a 20 cent listing fee for each item and a 3.5% sale fee for each item. These goes on your Etsy bill. They bill you every month or so and you can pay using PayPal.
As for how *you* receive payment for the items you sell, you can select which payment types you will accept. I currently accept PayPal and Money Orders for mine. A lot of people don’t do money orders because it’s a pain in the butt. I use it for trading purposes.
I hope that sheds some light on it. Feel free to drop me an email if you have any other questions!
Also, I’m so happy you like the cd and the goodies. Again, I’m so sorry about that mix-up!
I’m happy you’re feeling creative
Good luck at the interviews!
Haha, you will not burst into flames. That is awesome you found a place that meets your needs and lifts you up. That is what it is all about!
Feeling creative is the best, I love it when I feel passionate about things, it really does make you feel like grabbing the world and hanging on for anything.
My newest thing is cooking, I am ready to really delve in!
good luck with your job interviews!
