Hello all,
I have been on the list for awhile and posted a few times in the past but not much. I'm very happy to be here on the new list, probably thanks to Hillary ;-) I am also taking Mystress' suggestion to heart about sharing more of myself.
I like the idea of a smaller list. Part of the reason I didn't post before was because there was *so* much activity on the list already. I couldn't keep up with it all. But I continued to follow even though I didn't say much.
I don't consider myself K active (although Hillary does <smile>). Mystress, I don't know if you remember but you gave me shaktipat online once, in one of your chat sessions. I tend to be quite skeptical and one of the reasons I follow the list is as an antidote to my own skepticism, to help me keep an open mind.
I noticed today that a lot of people here are having work issues and I would like to add my own concern to the list. I had a job that I had great expectations for that didn't work out because I felt my employer was verbally abusive. Now I am unemployed and looking for work. I am concerned although I do have resources yet.
I also own a home and have a car payment to keep up. It's a challenge not to become overwhelmed with fear and anxiety. I wonder, is this a lesson about trust?
The fact is, I have been having difficulties for about 18 months. What surprises me and what I try to keep in mind is that during all this time, I have always found the resources I need to meet my obligations. I try not to think about it too much. I am making an effort to meditate daily. I do my part in looking for work and contacting prospective employers. And I pray. I ask for guidance. I ask for help. I ask for hope. I try not to be impulsive. I try to make informed decisions whenever I can. I try to be patient and let things unfold in their own way.
I have a lot to be grateful for. Health, a loving relationship, a comfortable home, close family, good friends, beautiful surroundings, gentle rain (today), two funny cats that I love, and a wonderful online community made possible by the internet.
Peace to all,
Laura E
