Rethinking the Sabbatical

So yeah, here I am! Don't get too excited, however--I'm not sure where this is leading. I had a bit of an epiphany yesterday, and I realized that I truly need this here blog to help express myself creatively and spiritually. But it's been great to be away and rest.

In my last post, I used "sabbatical" in the title, almost as an afterthought. But it's really the perfect choice--and must've come through my subconscious. Ever since I left my partner and moved into the apartment, I've had a rough time, mostly feeling adrift with a sense of "Now what?" I get so impatient. And I've felt quite a strong pull away from old friends and old routines and toward something more specifically spiritual. So while working on a writing project yesterday, it slowly dawned on me that this period in my life is truly a sort of sabbatical. And if I could just relax and really use it in that way, it could work wonders in my life.

There's much in flux at the moment for me. My partner and I may still reunite, I have no idea where I'll be living in a year, and I am aiming for a new job within that same time frame. But regardless of whether this all comes to pass or not, I'm not there yet. Still a ways to go. So instead of fretting over all that, I need to use my time wisely. It's time to read those books I've been wanting to read, study those topics I've been wanting to study, travel, take chances and try new things, and brush up on my shamanic and magickal skills and practices. I do so like to have everything nailed down, but obviously, the universe has other plans. So I need to breathe and relax into that.

Don't know how this blog will evolve as a result, but stay tuned and, as always, thanks for reading.
