Awaken My Mind

Well- I have some news..... I GOT A JOB! I have accepted a job with Hugo Boss as the ecommerce marketing coordinator and start May 29th! All my hard work the past 2 years has finally paid off and my career is beginning a mere 2 weeks after I finish college. Unreal.

As happy as I have been about this (trust me I am thrilled and blessed) this time has been super tough, too. Life is moving a million miles a minute and I lost focus on what's most important somewhere a few months ago. Being consumed with finding a place to live (way tougher than I imagined) or figuring out what's causing my chronic back pain (no fun) to grasping the fact I am moving to New York City for good- my brain has no time to process this and it's a constant go-go-go (and I haven't even moved yet!)

In the age where my twitter is more rampant than my thoughts and my phone is attached to my hip, how can I "shut off" and just find myself again? I want to find the peace and joy in living for today, in this moment... How appropriate, as I am currently also studying for my Buddhism final next Tuesday. Buddhism stresses again and again giving into the moment, finding peace in this exact space in time. Today I am challenging myself to do just that. It's been awhile...

  1. Derek, about your backache. Is it bones, or digestive system? OPC is good for a good lot of it. Maybe worth a try. Let me know. Love, A. Veronica. (A. short for aunt)
