Whee! Time to meditate and do lots of yoga, catch up on sleep, read some good books and re-examine what you want to be when you grow up. Awesome!

Congratulations Jodi!! This presents a wonderful
opportunity if your finances are okay. It's difficult to meditate
if you're 'broke'. At least I would find it so. It's hard enough
with plenty of money......WY

That's great news, Jodi! I'm sure it's a blessing, and will lead to wonderful new opportunities. And in the meantime, you can catch up on some relaxation and meditation time! What's not to like?! :-)

I love everybody's responses, too-- you guys are all so darned cute!

yogi , fortunately my financial needs are very slim . The university / College is withen walking distance. All sources of food are withen cycling distance. so my car consumption can be cut down greatly . I have some savings but my employment insurance should get me through just fine without having to touch it , unless some crzy happenning happens smiling smiley

lol

Congrats Jodi, on your bittersweet vacation. These types of occurrences always seem to work out for the better, as it gives you a gentle, or maybe not so gentle nudge in a different direction, opening up new possibilities.

May I suggest that you take some of your free time & devote it towards your foraging interests...get a good field guide book, or even use the internet for i.d. purposes, & what to use the wild edibles for.

I've been having a blast with plantain/chicory/violets/burdock/sumac/dandelion greens & more. smiling smiley

I just found some incredible wild plant books at the thrift store. I have the book Edible Wild Plants of North America and another ancient book of wild grasses but these two round out that collection so nicely. The kids and I forage a bit here and there where I think it's clean enough but I would like to do this more and more. Jodi, any time you want to come and sample the wild edibles of Southern Ont you can shack up at the beach with us! Come on girl, let's random fruit tree plant!

Hey Jodi--

Congrats! I love it when that happens! It's happened to me before, and it turned out great! Yeah, don't grow up -- it's no fun (so I hear!).

I don't believe this!! Jodi loses her job, and
now everyone is ready to Conquer the World. Well....maybe
it could work that way.....WY
P.S. Jodi, I hope you weren't offended by my 'sugar daddy'
suggestion?

Oh..that's a plus for you Jodi as finances in the positive can give you that time needed to relax, think, and just be.

What do you think you might like doing in the future?

Love,
Prism
