Spring Break and Gladiators

Happy student on spring break floating down the lazy river

Look how empty the beach looks - no worries - 3 hours later it is packed! That's when I left.

My spring term at the Unity Urban Ministerial School is completed. YAY!!! I have three weeks off before the next term begins. I spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday last week pretty much goofing off. I went kayaking on Thursday and Friday and I went to Daytona Beach on Saturday morning. All three days were glorious indeed.

During this break before the Summer Interim term, I’m working on getting a job. Hopefully, just an easy, part-time job. However, I can’t tell just yet what will show up and I can’t be too terribly picky. I’ve started off applying for two jobs or so a day online. I know that doesn’t sound like much but geez…what happened to the days when you could just show up and flash a smiley face at the manager and bang! you were hired? ? ? Now it’s this long tedious process just to fill out an application online. I worked for hours to get my resume looking good under the assumption I could just attach my resume and that would be that but noooooooooo…you have to fill out all the information on the application and THEN send them the resume which has all the same information on the application. You might be sensing my frustration by now. But I need to do this so I shall!

As I dig deeper and deeper into spiritual truths, I am discovering myself more and more. I wasn't expecting this. I thought I was "in school" to learn "how to be a minister". Of course, I'm constantly being surprised by the Universe. Most of the time these surprises take my breath away and at first, not necessarily in a good way. But as I lean into them, open my heart and breathe them in, I'm finding the truth behind being true to myself. I'm feeling, at least today, (and yesterday too) a gladiator hidden within me. A strong, powerful, poised and elegant gladiator. And I like how this feels. 

More on gladiators later........go on........embrace those surprises!
