Just when I am about to give up and think I am wrong in the things I believe in, a wonderful surprise comes along. I guess it is about the control thing. I have to remind myself all the time to give up the control and let things happen. I have read all the articles about 'going with the flow' and try, really try, but it is not as easy as it sounds.
I know deep in my heart when the time is right what is really best for me will come to me, maybe not how I think or how I imagined it to be, but it will appear.
I hope I am wide awake enough to realize it, and not so lost in what I think I want where I miss it!
I hope I am fearless enough to grab at it, and follow it, with out any conditions.
I hope I am able to catch the wing and fly off to the calling of my soul.
I did receive a couple surprises this past Sunday that there are people watching over me.
The first was when I was thinking about my mom and how a few days before she passed I came up with the idea of her sending me peacock feathers, just because they are so rare and at the time there wasn't much out there with them on. Now since she crossed over they have seemed to become very popular and are everywhere. Back to Sunday I was at work thinking how great it wold be if a peacock feather came to me and let me know I was on the right track with my plans. Odd as this sounds, a customer brought me a large picture of a peacock with very long tail feathers. I know the skeptics will all say that it was a coincidence, but if you know me I know there are no coincidences in this world! Never! Everything has a reason, and not all things are a message, but some times there is a very important message in them. We need to be able to decipher those messages.
The second thing, or sign if you will, we were experiencing a simple summer shower and I thought it was going to produce a rainbow, it did not and I looked. Later I was walking out front to check out the cart situation and low and behold there was a rainbow, unexpected. As I stood there it became brighter and brighter, almost causing a double. How exciting that was since I had just asked for it.
I wonder if they both were signs from my parents that everything is going to be ok and they are watching over me every day and when possible and for my own good they give me what I want still from the other side?
Guess I will have to wait for those answers until I get there with them.

Being in the right place at the right time
A little email from one of my most favorite sites Totally Unique Thoughts http://www.tut.com
I have subscribed to the site for almost ten years now and get daily emails from them. When I feel really out of touch I read them and remember who is really in charge.
Being in the right place at the right time, Susan, isn't something you can force.
It just happens when you keep busy. Effortlessly.
Imagine that,
The Universe
No, really! Imagine that, Susan! And then get busy, because AMAZING awaits!
As I sit and think about what I really want, becoming very introspect I realize there is no one I have to ask permission from, no one I have to consult, and no one I have to wait to see if they want to do 'it' also.
I realize if I want to move I can, if I want to stay I can, and if I want to move all the way across the country I can!!
What a beautiful feeling. So now the fear I have had about being alone is going away and excitement is taking over. The entire country is open to me and I can go anywhere in I want.
A few of my thoughts have been to the midwest, the west coast of Oregon or Washington State. My ultimate goal will be to end up in Alaska. I have always wanted to live in Alaska for as long as I can remember. Funny, since I am always cold in New Jersey and wear long johns, actually cuddle duds, girly long johns, all year except for a few weeks in August. But then I wore jeans in Florida, alot.
My fasination with Alaska started with watching about Eskimo's and their way of life. So simple, not easy but simple. They hold on to their traditions and pass them on to the new generations even with the new world coming in.
Now with all the new shows on television about Alaska the allure is getting stronger but, I think it takes a special kind of person to live in the extremes of the Northern Slope, no, I don't want to live in the cities of Alaska. One of the new shows has a remote camp and it looks like I want to find one just like it, or uniquely similar. I can honestly say it looks exciting and I plan on visiting there with in the next year. I want to see Barrow, Alaska also, the northern most point. I have been to the southern most point in Key West, Florida, lived in Marathon which is about an hour drive away and loved it. Circumstances moved me from there, which in the end was the correct path to be on, I realize that now and that part of my journey ended with me learning alot as usual. We learn on all legs of our journey.
The tools I learned there will help me to move on to the next phase. I learned we don't really need 'stuff' to be happy. As I lay on the floor devistated, I realized stuff was just stuff! It is the people in our lives that matter and all the things we amass are worthless, it is the people we meet and travel with for different lengths of time that matter, even to me, the ultimate loner.
I believe we all travel through each others lives for centuries in different lives and true souls that are matched find each other in different physical bodies over eons of time. I also believe people can know each other even if they have not met. On some level of our soul we know we are on the same wave length even if we are not on the same page in this life.

The next leg of this journey
I sit here and wonder what the next leg of this journey will be. It seems that God always puts me where I need to be, either for my growth or for someone I need to support through a tough situation. I, as I have aged know it could only be for a very short time, or could be for years. I never know how long each part of the journey will be. What I do know is that is always a learning experience.
This past year and a half has been a very large transition and learning period. I have learned what I need and what I do not need.
I have been sorting out what I want and what I think is expected of me, which are two very different things. I am a very simple person and do not like or need a lot of pretenses. I don't need to keep up with anyone else. I am very happy with a simple life. I joined match.com and eharmony.com thinking I wanted to find another person to share with. What a joke. For the past two weeks since I signed up I have looked at hundreds of pictures and realized I do not like people because of their looks, and only those who really know me know this. I look at eyes and there is where I find the connection. It always seems as if I can look into their sould and feel the connection. Most of the time I do not see the outside of the person I see the inside, the heart and the soul, and that is how I decide who will be in my life.
I am glad I have these qualities and cherish them everyday. To me it does not matter if they are male or female, because if we take the vehicle we call a body or male/female away we are all the same. Like a car or a house it just houses the greatest part of anyone. We need the physical manisfestation to be able to travel the journey, as we need transportation to get from point a to point b in the physical world.
As much as I know I have no control over the next part of the journey, in the same way I want to know what it will be and where it will take me.
I know I do not need to prepare for it because I will be provided with everything I will need to complete the leg. The trip is usually a need to know and some, no, maybe most of the time I never know even in hindsight the answers are not always clear.
I do know there is a reason for everything and everyone who passes through our lives when they do. I believe if we meditate and sit in the stillness we can get a vague image of it.
I started this blog when my mom passed basically to make much needed money but, that has not worked out as planned. Now it has become a way of trying to figure out this life or to maybe just help someone else understand ultimately we do not have control. We are able to stunt the growth or to pospone the ultimate reason we are here, however we are and will have to complete the reason we are here.

The Purple Mug
To anyone else it is just a $3.99 purple and green coffee mug however, to me it is the merging of two phases of my life. Purple and green, my two favorite colors in the same mug. I have always like purple and the green which no one would ever put together, fascinates me. It reminds me of so much. Mardi Gras, the motel across the street from us in Marathon Florida, the slot machines in the casino and the very, very different phases of my life.
I have used the same coca cola mug for ten years. I brought it with me when I moved back, it always represented the life I had just left and thought I wanted to go back to. So for the past ten years I have been really stuck, can't go back but can't move forward. So stuck in limbo is where I have spent the last ten years, floundering with no direction, no specific ways to go but one foot in front of the other.
I have been looking for a new mug but I guess I wasn't really ready to mesh all the parts of my life. This purple and green coffee mug starts a very exciting new phase of my life.
So to me it is not JUST a mug, but a whole new life for me.
The purple and green mug looks happy, if a mug could be considered 'happy looking' it looks happy. It reminds me to look forward with excited anticipation. To always see the happy in every situation. It is a daily reminder of how far I have come and how much I have to look forward to in this new life.
The 'mug' is my constant reminder how each new day is just that a new day to start on the journey. We may slip and slide back into our old roles. We are always more comfortable in the old because we know it.
Walking forward into the unknown is scary and sometimes terrifying but still we must do it. For, if we do not we become stuck in the roles that have been known and comfortable to us. In that case we do not grow. When I say grow it does not mean age it means just that grow.
Grow into what and where we are supposed to be when we are supposed to be there.
So after writing this I know that it is not any ordinary 'mug' I bought last week. It is the future! It is the beginning of a new growth period for me.
So that happy looking 'purple and green mug' is so much more than just a vat for coffee or tea.
It is my everyday reminder to look forward to the future with excitement and happiness.
It is an everyday reminder that the future holds so much more and all I have to do is to take the first step off the platform and trust there is a new life there for me.

Living alone
Right now I am realizing, like an epiphany, I am a loner! I like being alone to follow the beat of my own drum. I am, for the most part the happiest I have ever been, I have a job I love, I am able to follow whatever thought which pops into my head.
Like writing these blogs.
I love the creativity I am allowed to write in them. I only hope someone reads them and is able to find inspiration in them. This blog which I am actually looking for a new title since 'starting over again' really does not encompass the scope of it. It needs a title which is catchy and interesting. It really has no theme except for the 'no theme' of it. I usually just blog about a single thought which pops into my head. Today's thought is about the peacefulness of being alone but not lonely.
I love ALONE!
I love waking up and having no one to answer to, since this is the first time I have been on my own for any more than a few months, I find I really love it. I love not having to please anyone else, not having to answer to anyone but myself, and not having any decisions made for me. I can eat what and when I want Right now it is almost a year and I am just starting to get into a routine of discipline to accomplish all I want to accomplish now. The down side is I have no one to blame for any of my mistakes.
I am really busy right now. I have three blogs http://suesladybugjewelry.blogspot.com , http://gamblinggirl.blogspot.com/, two web pages,
I have a store on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/Suestreasures2012?ref=si and all my listings on eBay http://www.ebay.com/sch/spovio/m.html?item=121035952738&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562. AND I still work full time. I guess one of the things I am finding out about myself is I like being busy and at the same time I do not like anyone I see every day to really know how busy I am. I don't, for the most part tell anyone about these writings I do. I talk about them but I do not elaborate on them. The insecurity of thinking I do not write enjoyable enough for anyone to really like these makes me keep quiet about them. I enjoy writing and posting and hope someone reads them and finds some type of inspiration in them, but the fear of ridicule stops me from promoting my writings. Silly as it sounds, I am sure there are alot of people who have the same fears and insecurities. What am learning as I get older is to not take it all so serious and just to have fun with life.
I am trying to find a catchy name for this blog so it reaches more people. Any suggestions?

Following your path
Today things are just getting better and better. I am learning more each day, more of how to keep all the positive thoughts in my concsious thoughts, which in turn keep them in the unconscious also. I remember to always check my favorite email from www.tut.com , 'Totally unique thoughts' always full of positive thoughts and reminding everything in my head and thoughts come true. I am learning more and more how to give up control and just go with the flow of life.
I finally realize I almost have the life I always wanted! I live alone I have two cats who are always glad to see me. I have a job I really enjoy and make decent money, I started selling my bracelets on www.ebay.com and am making a little money there, and now I am blogging. Which is really writing which I have always really wanted to do. I hope someone out there is enjoying this. Even better I hope my positive inspiration will help them as all the web sites on the Internet have helped me through the years. This is not meant to change any ones life but mine, my only hope is it will make them know they can do anything they want.
To do anything I want was always stifled by the people around me with the words, 'get real' you need to have a real job. The people we look to most for the support are usually the ones who try to tell us it can't be done. Ironically they are the same people now who I want to prove wrong. This blog is meant to be a way for anyone wanting to do something all the people around them told them was impossible. I have learned that nothing is impossible if we want it bad enough. We just have to put all those thought aside and follow our hearts and do what we know in our souls is right for us...
Until tomorrow, or maybe in a couple of hours, think only positive thoughts and know that we are right where we are supposed to be and doing what we are supposed be doing at any given time. We all have a path to follow on our journey and we are always on the correct one, the trick is to just believe it and have the faith.
