Well, life has it's way of getting busy when you want to slow down, doesn't it? I am in the process of preparing for my National Novel Writing Month challenge (nanowrimo) that starts November 1st and I am waiting for the second editing revision from the editor. Once I get the edits back, I will have about a month to turn it around, maybe less. As things get closer it feels like the pressure just increases. I do not have a release date yet but can imagine that I might have some more answers after this next part of the process.
School is going good. I am currently taking Child and Adolescent Psychology and Sociology. I am on the Dean's list for the second semester but amazingly that just adds more pressure as well. it is exciting to get that acknowledgment since I have always felt I missed out on a traditional higher learning experience when I was younger but now as an adult who is already established in her career, these types of events make me feel like I "have" to get a good grade or else it puts my experience in question. Silly, I know but it is just thoughts that come up. After this next semester is over..... in like 9 weeks, I will officially be a Junior in College. LOL!!
Things are shifting in other areas too. I am transitioning out of my position as the Clergy Weaver in FWTI so I can focus more on being the "Second" of the Board of Directors and acting Director of the Board right now. I am excited to hand that position over to a very well deserving and talented person! I am also getting ready to do my first ritual elevating someone to third degree. This is a huge experience for me and I am very excited. I am trying to plan it right now and look forward to the process.
other than that..... I am preparing for coming events. I am looking forward to closing the year and beginning anew. I am grateful for the opportunity to do so. Last Saturday night I went to my monthly tarot group (Berkane Babes) and had a great reading done for me. part of what the reading was saying was to feel confident that I could do this and also to step up to the plate and not be so concerned with others..... just do it. In the words of the reader, "man up!". So that is my mission over the next transition.
