24 Jul 06 in the end, if you take care, you can be happy or unhappy anywhere

I got word back from both Blackwood Land Institute and Koinonia, Cath from Blackwood said “let’s talk” which seems to mean that she has something for me there, or some other ideas. Ann, the hospitality director at Koinonia said that i could start my internship there Sept 11 and stay till after Christmas. Then I would probably go on to NYC to live with my sister until I find a job. What to do? My sense is to get a wiggle on and just get to Georgia. If I stay here, I would be just killing time at Blackwood in order to do a show at Unity Theater (not even sure they haven’t found another musical director yet). All of that time could be spent getting oriented and settled in NYC. Of course, I have such strong attachments to Unity, I would love to work there once more before I leave Texas. Not to mention the fact that there may not be another time in my life where I am able to meander around the country like this. Would I be closing myself off to other potential adventures if I sign into life in the big apple sooner?
what do you think?

22 Jul 06 this is getting interesting

Well, it looks as though the “big news” has fallen through. For the time being, anyway. Interesting. Sadly, because the wheels are still turning, I can’t report what the big news was, because it still may be, but it doesn’t look as though I will be able to participate.

So strange to be sitting here in Brooklyn. One month remaining on my lease on my apartment in Houston, and nowhere to go, really until I begin my internship at Koinonia. HA-HA! Seriously. I am homeless starting September 1st.

There are possibilities though. I was offered a job Musical Directing the Christmas Show at Unity Theater in Brenham. I turned it down tho, so they may have found someone else, still waiting to see if they can use me for that. I also just wrote to my friend Cath at Blackwood Land Institute to see if she had something for me to do there or any ideas.

Stressful?

Strangely, no.

Today I feel exhilarated and excited about the vacancy in plans for the next few months. I also feel like I am letting go of so much that I was hiding behind and having to check back to my reliance on God/ the Universe…..you know. Whatever you want to call it that is taking care of everything anyway.

Of course, if any of you have ideas, suggestions, or an empty couch for a day or two, just let me know!

In other news, I am meeting with Chef Mark this afternoon for a tour of uptown Manhattan. I head back to Houston on Sunday.
