The Secret…..

Posted in Uncategorized on January 17, 2014 by iamsam4

Yes!  i may be a couple of years behind with regards to this.  i remember the furor and hype and blown up over-exposure of this at the time that it came out.  But i (finally…blush!) sat down and watched the video the other day.  Not mindfully, it was just on, and i slowly tuned in – and could not stop listening.  What they were talking about – The Law of Attraction – made sense to me.  I mulled over it for a long while, as i tend to do.  Put something to my conscience and let it do the rest.  And decided it might actually be worth a try.  Hell, it wouldn’t be any skin off my nose for sure!

That decision was made 2 weeks ago.

I am now the very proud and happy owner of a little fiat sienna sedan!  Yeah, there were major ups and downs before i finally found her.  Many self-doubts and worries and frets.  But i got over them.  Took the positive route and tried really hard not to look back all the time.

YES!!!  I outright own a car!!!  I still wake up in th middle of the night doing the mental “whoop!!”

I know there are some things that need to be fixed on her.  A part of two that i need to replace, but that will come.  the weight that has been lifted off my shoulders is incredible!  i never truely realized how not having wheels was the pinnacle of most of what was bringing me down all the time.  The freedom is unbelievable!  I still feel like a kid in a candy store!  I don’t know where i want to go visit on my own … BECAUSE I CAN!!!!

Yes, i do still have the other 2 problems to sort out, but the main one is done.  i am still frantically looking for a place to rent for me before the end of this month.  i did have something at the beginning of this month, but i think the landlords were offered more that i had agreed to pay, so they just gave it to someone else.  Didnt bother to let me know until i phoned to ask for a gate remote and let them know i was moving in the next day!  Frantic scramble to change plans were done that day!  What saddens me is that before Xmas and NY, rents were achievable in my areas of looking.  Now, they seem to be suddenly increased about 1500r a month!  Kinda ouch to my current pocket, but i know i will find something i can live in – and my cat can roam free in – even if i have to live on 2 min noodles and cereal for a while!!!  😉 or maybe visit friends often just around dinner time! heehee!

It is the thought of being able to walk around my own place nekked if i want!  Using MY things again, sleeping in MY bed again!  Oh, i just cant wait!  And to be able to do my own shopping!  Buy the things i want in my fridge and grocery cupboard.  Eat veg every day instead of maybe once a week…. (no wonder i have stopped losing weight!!!)

The job front i know i need to pay more attention to.  i am, i promise!  I am the sort of person who thrives on coming into a company or organization that is in total disarray and “tidy” it up, for want of a better word.  Sort through the paperwork mess, set things on an even keel, put new systems and routines in place, make it a more comfortable place to come and work in again.

Someone suggested to me the other day that i should start my own thing, consult myself out and make a business out of myself.  The idea has stuck with me and i think it would be something i would love to do.  The logistics of it scares the shite out of me!  i have no clue on how to market myself, work out what i would charge as a consulting fee, how i would manage to keep it sustainable and long-lasting, make it profitable.  Wow!  (If) or when i do manage to crack it, i could write a book on “How To Start A Business With 3.5c In Your Pocket!!!”

Jeesh!

Anyone know of places in Pretoria that give really cheap (ok, affordable) part time courses on how to market and manage your own business???

i have not blogged in ages.  Something i really should do something about.  This place used to help me find all the answers, and then i stopped.  Wonder why??

Ushered in 2014 on a really low note.  

No Job

No Home

No Car

I guess the only way from here is up.  Cant get much lower than this i think.

I miss, no crave, my independence.  I am an independent child of the first water.  And it is killing me.  Just when i think i seem to be on my way up, the curve ball is thrown, yet again, and my shaky (but resolute) start comes crashing down.  Again.  There is only so much that a person can take.  Even as independent as they claim to be.  i hate having to rely on other people to get me from A to B, or to take me to visit some one.  i seem to have lost contact with friends as i can never get to see them.  Visit invitations have slowed to almost nothing as they know it will be turned down.

the one i feel immensely sad for is my poor cat.  she has not felt the grass beneath her paws for 8 months now.  this for a wild cat must be totally heartbreaking.  and there is nothing i can do for her.  and the loss of a cats dignity having to use a sand box permanently is not even worth thinking about.

Ok, figured out why i have not blogged in so long. They are just too depressing for words.
