DIVE INTO THE MYSTERY

You might have the itching to pickup and move your stuff to another place. The nagging voice in your head keeps telling you to quit your job and go pursue what you love doing.

Then you tell yourself you're not quite ready and find comfort in your routine. I challenge you to not fall back in routine but redirect your momentum towards your beautiful ideas.

Take responsibility for your dreams and shifting your energy to squash the uncertainties. 

How are you going to get closer to shining light on your personal legend?

You shall rid yourself of the energy that is not serving you-- if it is not going to get you closer to the essence of your magic, leave it behind.

Pay attention what is being presenting itself to you. Radical reactions should not get the better of you, use that powerful energy and shift it towards your goal.

Everyone is transitioning right now so do not take anything personal and tread your path with compassion! 

LET GO OF OLD GROUND

MEDITATE

CREATE

Seeing the passions of so many of my co-workers manifesting had been making my soul crave the passion to come alive within.

In Jamaica, the yoga felt so good and centering. People were very supportive of my practice and could see the true essence emitting. The warm tropics really get my hands and heart working.  

A new moon approached with its bursting drive to make this new wave of teaching come alive. I planned to go back to Jamaica fast. Then I realized there were other things that needed to change to make my dream sustainable.

Changing the ground at home so I could keep trips going for teaching. Keeping my connections at work and in social circles strong. So instead of Jamaica-- it was going to be Miami with my sisters. Next I move into a new home with cheaper monthly rent to keep things flowing until I can say goodbye to NY. I am not quite ready to leave this city.

I awoke this morning with swift energy after dreams filled with supportive people who were cheering me on my path. It was so warm and welcoming. I ask the tarot this morning-- what part of this transition needs my attention now?

I was shown the chariot. A woman with an axe in one hand and a half-eaten apple in the other.  Sitting at the reins of her chariot, dressed in gold armor. She was confident in herself. Mother nature was there to support her with a tree full apples in the background. It read true to my journey-stay true & stay in the driver seat of your dream.

The Chariot represents a vehicle under control, the amazon consciousness that allows a person to take charge of her own life and make her own decisions, agreements, and responses. The Chariot signifies a winner; the charioteer, a victorious warrior, self-disciplined and firmly grounded on the physical plane.

My Morning Commute Changes My Life

Everything is Shit

I'm sitting on a bus somewhere in East Los Angeles. On the way to Venice, Calif. to an internship I have just decided to split ways with. Why?

Well first some background. I returned to the US on July 1st and before I landed, I had a plan that I needed as many jobs I could manage before school started. Thankfully, the economy had been progressing. The search lasted two weeks. I got two bartending jobs and an internship.

I started at a Public Relations firm that manages travel and lifestyle companies. Great company! But two weeks in, I put in my two weeks to leave. Now I tell you why.

Catch me on Line 733

My morning commute on the bus takes Washington Blvd through East LA, then drops me of in Downtown LA at the corner of Hill and Venice. The area is a trip to watch. I see a Latina squeezing, cutting and selling fruit to the public. I see cars from beaters to Bentleys pass. And then I see the several black homeless men who occasionally ask me for change. Everything is not okay.

So Good!

"Cuanto es?"
"Dos cincuenta."

$2.50 for 16oz of fresh squeezed OJ

The next bus picks me up and staggers down Venice Boulevard. It takes me 2 hours to get to where I am going and I do it to save a buck and save the environment. The former is more relevant at this moment.

South Side of LA

Once you leave downtown LA you enter mid-city. This is where we pick up the characters. Some talk to themselves while others dance in circles. Everything is a trip.

Once you get past that you go through Culver City which is the city between metropolis and coast. The bus stops in front of run down strip malls, selling a variety of ethnic food and etc. The dirty buildings vanish in the background to the more depressing character in front of it.





On the sidewalk, he lies there skinnier then Americas Next Top Model and dirtier than your average construction worker. Cigarettes lit around him as he puffs on one before setting it back down against the cement. The few beverages around him sweating pellets of water indicating that a compassionate soul was near not too long ago. My heart sinks as the bus passes him. The scene is on self repeat as the bus passes more homeless men strung out on the sidewalk near the iconic shopping cart full of shit.

I am a man

Survival of the fittest in these parts. California is a place that boasts comfort ability and flexibility but lacks connectivity and direction. This was translated into my own personal predicament. A lack of connection and a step in the wrong direction was taking place at my internship.

I am woman who has a plan to reach my goals. Wasting time and energy on something that is not fulfilling to the plan has to be cut out. Now I have space to create, collaborate and develop. Dandelion Zephyr is back and I look FORWARD to this experience of writing.
