Roses and other flowers in bloom outside the back door.
It's been nearly a week since I spoke to Marisa on the phone about the kitchen position at SCC. I believe she said she was hoping to do interviews in a about a week. I sent her an email today just to follow up and let her know how much I really want the job.
I want it so bad I am almost afraid to dream for the fear of being depressed if I don't get it, but so far I have been staying positive.
I set up my peaceful space in the trailer and did a prayer ritual/meditation last night.
Afterwards I tried this Chinese fortune telling thing Julie has, it's a jar of sticks with numbers on them that you shake while asking for a wish and then you shake them until one "pops out" at you and then read the description in a booklet. I wished to get this job or something else that will help move my life in a positive direction. I got the number 20, and it said among other things, that I will get my wish.
I've been doing a lot in the garden lately. Planted a few more wine barrel gardens with tomatoes, cucumbers and a variety of chilies, then filled one wine barrel with flowers. Pretty nice beginnings. There is a lot of grunt labor still needed to make the yard more hospitable and charming, but I'm beginning to see a vision of what it will be like in a few years when it is established and there are colorful flowers everywhere. We already have several rose bushes and other flowers such as lilac, red and white camellias, rosemary, and these beautiful white blossoms that I am not sure what they are:
So the garden is moving along, and I am praying my career also gets this jump-start it needs.
