I am back in college of course. AND LET ME TELL YOU.. Age 40 I graduated with with A's... Well, one course was B, but not because study... one day I had to take my friend to doctors office, and his appointment was past his time... And then I got flat tires, and when I got home, my course was already half done, and that was 100 credit class..> COOKING AND RECIPE MODIFICATION!!!. That was another AHAAAA moment in my life when I realized,,, I got to put myself first..... But anyway.... Looking forward to my fall semester... College is so much fun, and information I am learning right now is mind blowing... I see some 20 year olds at a class, and they can't understand what they are learning... All I do is smile and think to myself... Trust me,, you will get it one day ;)
Something in me snapped, "DING, DING, DING, DING" sound came on, and LIFE as it best started happening... I could not have asked for the best 5 months in my life... I did not see the things that have happened coming but I can finally see the future that Is meant for me happening... As I am typing this, I am getting little teary eyed because for years I have lost my vision, and I searched it all wrong places, till The force lead me to one amazing place I always underestimated.... Church...
Don't get me wrong... I have been to Church for many times. I grew up going to church in Estonia.. NOT every sunday, but Church was part of our upbringing.... I just liked it because I got to see all the relatives and family and friends at church at those occasions when I went... It was so much fun....
So I joined Becoming Church family. And It has been the best blessing in my life ( beside my kids of course) to the date. I will definitely write more about my Becoming family in laters posts, but let me tell you what has happened sense...
I scored a job that is perfect fit for me. It was not the position applied for, but as I am growing , I am realizing, THIS is the greatest fit for me. I love my Team!!! It has been amazing growing platform and an eyeopening experience and I want to learn more.
Prior to that I applied so many jobs and I always got NO, you are not a good fit for our store, or office, or coffee shop or whatever... And that can be discouraging .
Anyway.. I work for "AMAZON" now... Well, It is Whole food grocery store, actually, but since amazon owns it, I am Amazonian now.. ( people have called me AMAZON woman before, so Now I AM FINALLY ONE... How Ironic...lol.. :) I tell you honestly, I am so grateful for this job. It is not easy, and in the end of the night my legs hurt, my feet hurt, my hands hurt... BUT MY MIND--- it is different story.. It is at peace. I am exactly where GOD wants me to be. And I have a job!!. It only took me year and a half to get it, but I DID NOT GIVE UP!!!... Job is a job!!!.
I just want to share you one story about WHY I do what I do... 2 days ago one of WF repeat customers came back and out of a blue, before he started ordering he said-- "I WANT TO THANK YOU from bottom of my heart . COuple of weeks ago I came to the store and you were closing your section, and food was all in trollies, but you took time to help me to get what I need, and you were patient and kind and I just want you to know, I really appreciate you. "
MOMENTS like that just make me want to pull out box of tissues and weep for a hot second... And it is only one of many feedbacks I have received during my 2 and half month work at whole foods...
Yes, there are those who come and yell, and complain and nothing is never right, and food is wrong, and I am wrong... And I decided, I am not going to give power to that anymore... It is not my fault, you did not get laid last night. ;)... hahah :D Just Saying....
AND one more thing... I work in a MENS world... I only have one female team leader.. TRUST me, it is frustrating at times... But I just have to remember to breathe in, and remind myself this too is temporary ;)
... WAIT... story is not over.... Church-- check.... JOB- Check.... Time for hobbies ... CHECK........
Starting my own FINANCIAL FREEDOM... C H E C K.........
YESSS!!!!! I finally have become THE CRAZY OIL LADY.. I had no intentions becoming that, but it has taken edge off of me..
I started just thinking... EHHH. starter kit is all I need... 2 months into it... MY whole thinking about oils and life and friends, and freedom, and people has changed.. I LOVE our oils... Young Living has transformed my homelife.. I got Oil for everything. Seriously... And that is just a start for me.. I am supper passionate about this and I can't wait to share my Oily love for you ;) lol
I am making candles, taking hot oily baths, face treatments, etc...... Chillaxing... and it is all because of I was introduced to oils.... It is my TIME!!!
For years people tried to get me sell their products, but after month I lost trust in the product... I got heart palpitations, mood changes, mood swings, skin rashes, etc... And I was like.. NO SHAKE FOR ME!!!, or no body wraps for me, or noooooo MOOOOREEEEE un necessary vitamins .... DONE WIth it!!!.. BUT oily life and toxin free household cleaners.. Is ALl I do for myself now.... It is sooo cool and amazing, and my cat is loving it too :D
There is saying... All bad things are happening at 3's....
Well, I got to say this... ALL great things are happening in 4's or 5's or 6
s or 10's..... SO many amazing things have happened to me, since I started living and moved on from what does no more good for me....
Gymlife is still amazing. Sadly because of my demanding work schedule, I am not able to commit to it as much, but I am not given up on my fit journey... My main goal was to get my MIND FIT... That happened, and when that happened, everything else fell into place as well... One puzzle peace at a time :D LOVING IT!!!!!
OH and btw.... I SHAVED MY HEAD ;) And I colored it PINK...... MY OWN FREEDOM!!!!... There is no price stamp for that!!!! Flirty 40's have started my friends..... AND I got a oil for that ;)
What have you done lately to yourself that makes you smile ?
