A galpal jokes that I’ll say I’m going back to work or going to nap, then she’ll see me posting videos on Facebook of my bamboo growing or saying I’m going out to mow the grass.  I laughed because I hear that a lot.  That’s the beauty of having the job I have. The main part of my job is preparing my consciousness to do the work I do. Preparing my mind by focusing my intent, preparing myself to be open and receptive to guidance. I do this by a series of little routines, sometimes it’s just a break for yoga and meditation in the woods. Sometimes a walk down to the firepit inspires me to begin clearing a trail or pruning a hedge, rooting the cuttings in the ground, watering it all in.  All these things I do as my routine to wind down and get into the mind state that allows me to receive guidance and do my work. Sometimes I clean or rearrange furniture to wind down, often I play silently on Facebook. So when I’m doing these things, believe it or not, I may be working.  At this stage of my life, I’m never surprised at what work looks like.  To someone looking in, my work day consists of me getting up and visiting with a friend then checking email then maybe mowing the grass then taking videos of the cat, then back at the desk for Facebook, then some astrology charts and magazine work, then taking a pic of whatever I’m cooking for dinner and putting that on Facebook.  And yes, if I do it right, that can be a full day’s work.
