Office Buddha

My my how the mind can wander...

I have tried to upload a recent photo for the last half-hour. Ironic. And I was all in the mood to share my new-found sense of Peace. (I'm "redirecting" my energy as I write; a nifty method I learned in meditation class.) Ommmm-my God I can't believe I've forgotten how to upload.

Anyway, I am hopeful you will see this elusive image above this post.

I left my last entry with a bit of anger and I feel fortunate that it has passed; at least regarding my current realities and that of my friends and family. I do feel lighter. I know I'm smiling more. Besides having a great time with my whole family over the Thanksgiving holiday, there was a bit of goofball Serendipity here and there. I like that. Perhaps wanting to find it has a lot to do with seeing it.

When I was in NYC with my sister and brothers-in-law, I got to visit a store I had gone into over 10 years ago. I had saved a postcard from the Visions of Tibet shop because I was so... entranced when I was there. It is still the same. On this trip, I found my Office Buddha. I had picked it up once, set it down to look around, and I found myself picking it up again. I held it to my cheek of all things. And the people who run the store seem so beyond serene. I was given my credit card in cupped hands. How can you NOT bow a little in return?

My Office Buddha now resides next to my fountain on my windowsill.

I am reminded of so many things when I look at him; reminders of how I want to be and the reality of who I am now. Maybe one day I can say that I have bridged the difference.

Peace.

Mostly Moved In

Hello World!

I am now sitting in my new office, looking out the window to the atrium while I type... this is the bliss I've been searching for. I still haven't paid a cent, the woman I am subleting from still has stuff here that isn't budging until the end of November, but for right now, it's good enough. My goal is to have this place "running" by Monday and hopefully see more clients thereafter. There are so many things I want to do with the place once I have it to myself! To be excited to go to work is a very new thing for me. Now I just have to have an income!

My love to the Universe. XO Denise
