Actions are the seed of fate...



Its funny how life works. Those who know me personally, know that i am a huge believer in fate. Sure we do have a hand in making out own fate, but on a grander scale the universe guides our destiny. This past year I have taken a lot of chances, made some mistakes, and learned a lot about myself. The past week I have taken another leap into the abyss, clutching solely on my gut and hoping for the best. Uncertainty is not my forte so as you can imagine I was very uncomfortable. But everything fell into place. I made the difficult decision to quit my job, and i know most of you are gasping and saying" In this economy?! are you kidding?" Yes, I had the same feeling and I was scared. but my gut knew better.(I have to make a bigger effort to listen to it... its wise ) My body and soul was rotting at my current place of employment . I was becoming one of those disgruntled workers who are snarky and detest what they do. The worst part about it, it was spilling over into my personal life making me into a horrible nitpicking roommate, whiny ,snarky girlfriend and party pooper of a friend who would just want to always veg at home. That is not who I am nor did I want it to assimilate into my personality either. Something had to give. Once I put out decision into the universe , and took my foot out my mouth and gave my two weeks, my resume was yielding job offers. Where before i made the decision to just quit, I would go on interviews, but to no avail. An interesting coincidence? I do not think so. I think the universe was waiting on for me to get of my proverbial indecisive ass and get the wheels in motion. So, now I am going back to doing what I love to do, be an Autism Interventionist.


My gut coupled with my faith in the universe has not steered me wrong(when I have been smart enough to listen) and all the greatest things I have in my life right now I am so thankful for. My life has again gone up one more rung on the ladder of happiness. I just have to know that I will not fall if I trust in myself...

Voluntary Imperfections
Most people try to conceal their imperfections. Society has hammered into our heads that we are to be perfect( or at least hold the facade that we are). We all fail to be perfect because, alas we are human! But what we are missing is the fact that what we perceive as a intrinsic flaw maybe the thing that someone holds dear about you.

Ever notice when you are at a store or browsing through a catalogue, if something is hand made it has a little caveat stating" Item may be have slight imperfections due to the nature of being hand made" But that is why we love hand made products, because they are unique!

All I am saying, is instead of expending countless amounts of energy concealing our "imperfections" we should treat them as we would a rare handmade scarf, or handcrafted furniture.( or any other rare treasure that comes to your mind) Celebrating its little imperfections as a showcase for being different.

So I am going to end this entry on something I say to myself whenever I get sucked into trying to be perfect... its from a poem I was trying to write , but came out with this entry instead:

I am perfectly imperfect and that is perfectly okay.
