Perfect Attitude Change to Match Latitude Change?

When did I become timid? Hesitant to speak my mind? When did I decide it was more important to get along and have people think I was a good person than for me to stand up for myself? Why isn't someone who is strong still good? I am feeling a major attitude adjustment coming on - a product of changing my geographical latitude? Or a product of realizing that I am now self-employed, and therefore in charge of my own life on a level never experienced before.

No more Mr. Nice Guy? Or no more doormat. At one point in my life, I was astonished at how strong I was, how purposeful, how determined. I want that woman back.

Do all women go through this as a result of our caregiver roles, our mediator roles, our peace-keeping at all costs roles? Jefferson said a little revolution now and then was a good thing. Hmmm. I think I am about to start a revolution in my own little world, starting with a change in attitude. Starting today!

Perfect Instructions for Moonboots

Lesson #1: Don't go for a stroll in a field when you are wearing your moonboot.

Perfect Personal Assistant?

So the job at the bed & breakfast was more like being a scullery maid, so I resigned when I found out I had a broken foot! I live in a very walkable town, but with this moonboot on, I am back to driving the truck around and using precious gas $$. I decided to make the leap (and with 1.5 feet that is not easy) and become self employed as a personal assistant. I have three regular customers and am learning about property management for vacation rentals, google adwords, website re-do's and everything in between. I love it!

Will I become a "perfect" personal assistant? I have often marveled that me of all people chose the name Perfect for my SL avatar, and since then am using it for many venues...I am perfectly clumsy, perfectly crazy....the list could go on and on. When asked about the name on SL, I reply that it is a goal, not a statement of fact. I am going to do my best, no matter what I tackle.

Perfect Place to Live

Time to catch up and time to start blogging more to keep up with the world! Moved to Friday Harbor from Santa Fe back in April. Wow! Water everywhere! Cactus gone! Went from the desert to an island, went from driving everywhere to walking everywhere. I love it!

Now I need to get something published besides a blog!

Perfectly Busy

Going to add to my crazy life by joining guru.com and elance.com because I want to write, want to be a writer, be the person who HIRES house sitters instead of being the one doing the house sitting. I want to find out if I can do it, be a professional writer, entering more into the mainstream of life than just writing in my journal, which no one will see until I pass on, and maybe not even then!

No Jobs to a Plethora

Had to use that word - it is my boyfriend's favorite "big word" and he uses it correctly - unlike some people who latch on to a minute piece of vocabulary and then throw it around like they had more in their pocket. ANYWAY. ..have a second interview at the bookstore today, secured more hours for my online bookkeeping job and may even be able to pay my bills ON TIME for the next few months. Ah, poverty, I think I might escape your nasty clutches for the winter. I remember the days when I made $75,000 per year, but I had to wear a suit and my life was not my own.

A Perfect Mess?

So I quit my part time job at Lowe's last month because having no job was better than working there. Then one of my regular house - sit jobs fell through, my plans for working at a bookstore have gone awry because they haven't called me (or anyone else I discover), and everything else seems to be moving away from me at a quick clip. I have great plans for April of 08 (boyfriend and I are going to be a caretaker couple) but at this moment, nothing seems definite in my life except a part time QuickBooks job over the internet for a longtime friend. The universe is telling me I need to write - need to write and send things out to be published! Or maybe give up eating on a regular basis.
