My 60 day experiment is proving to be a huge success so far!!!

...and I still have 11 days to go.

Lots to update seeing as it's be almost 2 weeks since I've posted. I've been feeling better in general, except for the past few days. Last week, I was sleeping well, finally. Not so much this week though. Just can't seem to feel rested. Danard and I were going to get acupuncture treatments a couple times a week, and that was helping a lot. We went once this week, but didn't seem to do much for the sleep this time. Not sure what that's about.

We did the Body, Soul and Spirit Expo this past weekend, which was one of the reasons why I didn't have time to post. There was just way too much to do to get ready for it. The show went well. Friday night and Saturday, there was lots of people attending, but no one seemed to want to spend money. We did get some clients on those days, but not like we were hoping for. We weren't the only booth that was experiencing that. Sunday was amazing though. I had one reading after another non-stop. My throat was hoarse by the time we were done, but it was a lot of fun. Danard was really busy with Reiki sessions too. It looks like we'll have lots of classes for the next little bit too. I have someone taking their Master level from me next week, which is awesome! This will be my second master student now.

We also had a referral Reiki client from the show. Someone at the show who really liked what she got, referred a friend of hers to us. Cool stuff! I hope that is a continuing trend.

I also got us signed up for the Lilac Festival for May 28. Can't wait for that. It's very affordable to have a booth there, and last year, 120,000 people went through the festival. And, there's only 2 other psychics signed up so far, and no other Reiki pracititioners at all. So, there won't be any competition. So we should fair pretty well at that show. We also have plans to do a bunch of other festivals this summer too. At some point, I think I might just take a leave of absence to do these shows, plus doing farmers markets and stuff. Could be an interesting summer.

In the not so great happenings, I have to go back to work as of next week. The good thing is that for the first 2 weeks, I only have to be there Mon, Wed, Fri for 4 hour shifts - 9am to 1pm. So, I've got the rest of the days to work on the biz. I really have to get some work done on that book, so I can start getting an income from that. I've also realized that I have other material for a book that I could get done in less than a week. My Reiki manuals. I'm just going to rearrange them a bit, maybe add some stuff and make that an ebook. So, I'm going to get that done by the weekend, and then find out how to get it out there.

I've officially decided that there's no way, no how that I'm going to go back to work on a full time basis. I just know that I can't do it. So, once the doc says that it's time to go back full time, I'll just tell work that I'm officially going part time. I'll do that until the summer starts getting really busy with the business, then take the rest of the summer off. Who knows, maybe I won't have to go back in the fall. We'll see. If we play our cards right, this next month or so, will be the last month or so of the day job scene. I've also decided that this is the last day job that I ever have. Once this one is done, I'm a full time Reiki Master / Teacher, psychic, author. No more day jobs for this kid. I'm done. It's time to just step up to the plate and live my life the way I choose it to be. Period. No more playing by someone else's rules that I don't agree with. I'm quite excited about that. My friend Wendy gave me a reading on Sunday morning that was really good. It confirmed that the "paying the dues" is finally done, and from this point on, I do what I choose. Basically it confirmed the decision that I've made internally.

Of course, being that I know how this stuff works, and I the fact that I know that once you make a choice to go whatever direction you're choosing to go, the Universe will rearrange itself to make that happen. I've done all the lesson learning. This job has been a biggy. It's probably been the thing that's has been the catalyst for me getting to this point. I needed to get to where I was so fed up with the day job thing, that I finally HAD to make a choice to say "no more!". So, I give thanks to this job for finally getting that through my thick skull. If I had stayed at my last job, where I was content...not blissfully happy, but not unhappy (except for the pay), I would have never got the fire to get out of the rat race BS. So, here we are. About to embark on a whole new way of living my life. Whoohoo! Even though I'm tired because of a yuky sleep last few nights, I'm excited about what's to come!

Stay Tuned...
