Surrender.
To the one who created this spectacular universe.
Whatever name you have for him or her.
This coming New Moon Ceremony will be my last in Saskatchewan.
This month I made the decision to move the
Okanogan Valley in beautiful British Columbia on a whim.
I’ve been looking for work for the past 7 months and had very little calls for interviews. I looked in Regina, and near my hometown (because I figure I’ll have to move home in about 5-10 years to take care of my dad anyway as he has early on-set dementia). I began getting very frustrated. Is it my resume? Do I need to edit it again? It got to the point where I was applying for the same positions that were open 3 months ago and I had so many cover letters on file that basically all I had to do was find the job role and change a few details. It took a super toll on my mental health for sure!
So an old pal called me yet again, asking me to move out there yet again. And of course I used my dad as an excuse not to move. But then he told me he was moving to the Okanogan Valley, I was very intrigued. I’ve always been drawn to the Rockies and I’ve never been there for myself! I’ve always lived vicariously through family and friends from their photos and stories. Ok I’m lying, I saw the Rockies when I was a small child when my parents took me to Oregon, I don’t remember but my soul does!
As a bonus I have family a short drive away from some cousins and others scattered across the province where as here the next is hours away so I thought hmmmmm 🧐
For s**ts and giggles I spent 1 hour - just 1 job hunting in the Kelowna area and I’ve had more interest than I had in 7 months here. Hard to say no, right? So then I called EI and said look even if I don’t find work I bank $500/mo having roommates so basically I won’t feel like I’m “living in poverty”, but what happens if an offer comes through and i accept but it falls through because I couldn’t start before our possession date. She answered my questions and actually gave me a heck of a lot of advise so basically it was green lights go from there lol and I mean I never went without or lowered my standard of living but there were tight budgets that had to be adhered to in order to do “all the things”.
And yes I tried to expand my business. I am bad for not advertising. I need to change that bad habit in BC. But I did reach out to new people and those who expressed interest in the past. I offered a reduced fee, heck I’ve even had “God called” sessions and did them free of charge. Basically the Biblically Twisted side of me looked at Leviticus and how sacrifices were set up and followed the guidelines….the working pay full price, the non working basically only had to sweep and mop my floors or donate a food item, and then there was a sliding scale for those who were in between. Surprisingly not many took advantage of that, not even the “God called” ones, unless of course they had some sort of pre-existing belief in a higher power at work….then they jumped all over it and had quite some success. I’ve basically gave one person an energetically clean bill of health as she’s using all her resources wisely and her levels were off the charts, so whatever she’s doing on her own is working so keep it up, I don’t wanna see ya until you start slipping again. So it’s not like I had clients holding me back…I can still do distance reiki like I do with the ones around the globe lol.
Basically everything has gone my way since.
Beautiful home. Check.
Beautiful roommates who have patience and understanding and willing to grow and learn with me as I learn with them because we INTJs are rare, and being female just makes me 1 in 54 million, so I’m set in my ways and have to learn to accept people in “my safety zone” but I’m pretty sure it will be just fine! Check.
Sold enough stuff to earn my plane ticket and luggage so I can have enough of my crap at the Airbnb until I can bring my things up when I can afford it. Check.
Figured out a way to just ship my crap up now in just Rubbermaid containers via Canada Post and they will be delivered to my door when I arrive. Check.
Back up person in town just in case I don’t get enough cash from my house sales to ship everything now and I can just wire her when I have it. Check.
Made a wish upon a star a long ass time ago when I was “green with envy” when a friend of mine treated herself with brand new furniture and I started thinking yup I need to save up and get a sectional in here….”Ungh but I don’t want to have to fu***ng deal with that fu***ng couch and those fu***ng tight doorways and the fact that we need the maintenance guy to take the doors off to the bitch out.” And now I don’t have to! Check!
Changed the lives of two strangers today for the better with one single sale for both of them. Check!
Potentially earned my security deposit back for breaking my lease for “loss of revenue” rubber-arming the neighbor who “saw my sign in her mailroom” and wanted to take a quick peek of what I was selling and by the time she left she had her claim on her suite with the office and they told her to put their discussion in an email and she would do the paperwork Monday lol. Worst they can say is no, right? But I feel like I can count on most of it back lol. They might take a portion because now they have a different suite to fill but these places are beautiful and they won’t have a problem. Check. (This is where the I don’t have to deal with the couch comes in because what’s the point of moving it out now and moving it back in when the living room set can just sit in the middle of the room and be covered in plastic while the painters clean up the wear and tear and if they are smart about it, they will book the painters to come in for the afternoon I turn my keys in, Maintenance can fix the items I pointed out the next morning and the turn around can literally be 24 hours and she can be fully moved on here before Nov 1. Check.
Found people to literally pick through the last of my items on the last days and whatever I don’t want or can give to bestie or dad, I’m leaving for her as she’s a single mom! Check!
But wait…there’s more!
I literally put out the mantra $1000, luggage, boxes just days ago. And I was like “in that order, the Queen has spoken!” And I’m serious it happened guys!
$1000 - I’m $1000 away from breaking even, and well I have a strong I’ll get a good chunk of it back so if that’s a go, then I’m almost there.
Luggage - kinda worried that my luggage will be delayed because it’s still in Memphis and it has been since Monday, and I kinda wished I had extra so I could just pack the extra clothes in there and send them home, and when I coming home for visits I can just pick up a suitcase. Well the maintenance man and I chatted today and he’s like do you want any luggage and I said yes
Boxes - well now I really need boxes because now 2 people are moving! And basically once I get my luggage, I can determine what goes in the boxes and what goes on the plane and I have a better visual of how much crap I’m taking before I nitpick through the “Im not sure I want to sell this pile”
Setting intentions. Mantras. Prayer work. Whatever you wanna call it, use it, because it works.
Use your imagination, visualization exercises, vision boards, because they work.
Do your New Moon rituals every 28 days. So what if it took you 3.5 years of wishing for the same thing, how else will the Lord know you really want it bad and you will actually “walk on water” to get to it.
And If you want to follow me on my journey, you can add me as friend on Facebook under Nikki Jay (look for Princess “Fiona” profile pic) or on TikTok under Biblically Twisted!
