To start, I wanted to put more pictures up, but I have not found an amazingly easy way to do so. Also, since I keep changing the method to my madness, it is difficult to keep track of all my photos. Somehow I wish I only had to label them once via the file, and all internet programs would pick up on that description. Oh well, a girl can dream.
Secondly, I have been invited to go on another adventure from the 22nd through the 29th of December. My wonderful friend Amanda has invited me to go on a cruise in the Caribbean with her. I am VERY excited!! I will take many pictures and hopefully be diligent enough to post them. :-)
As far as the rest of my life, I still work for Inside the Outdoors and I am still looking for a full time, salary, with benefits job. I love the work I'm doing at the moment, but it's neither in the place I want to be living, nor is it paying me enough to live in Orange County, California.
Although I feel like I've been saying this for ages, I hope my options come around soon! I'm starting to feel a bit stuck, and I know I'm the only one to blame for it. If only I weren't so picky. I'm sure I could work at Fred Myers in Fairbanks if I really wanted to be back in Alaska. Then I ask myself, would I really be happy? Hmmm... like I said, feeling a bit stuck (physically and emotionally).
I want to feel that I'm doing what these Night Bloomers in our front yard were doing after a heat wave here in California this past October... blooming and creating an atmosphere of joy. Or, I want to feel like this beautiful new plant growing out of the ashes to see all of the light to start a new life, a new adventure.
(This photo was taken at Santiago Oaks Regional Park approximately four months after a fire. Regrowth is so beautiful. This landscape needed it.)
