get me wrong, I love my work, but so much of it is by telephone, one on one.\u00a0 Astrologically, I have Sun, Mercury and\u00a0 Venus in Aries <a href=\"http:\/\/www.astro.com\/astrology\/in_dgtwehouse_e.htm\" target=\"_blank\">in my 12th house<\/a>,\u00a0 so working behind the scenes comes naturally to me, and I dig it.\u00a0 But I&#8217;ve now gone a few years without doing much travelling, which I used to do almost monthly for conferences and weekend events, and I am beginning to miss the in-person interaction of a group.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the classic &#8220;<em>be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it<\/em>&#8220;.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve created the perfect life for myself here, with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.horizonsmagazine.com\/Phone_sessions\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">my own business<\/a> at my own hours on my own turf.\u00a0 I have as much work as I can handle, <a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=6835\" target=\"_blank\">and then some<\/a>.\u00a0 I decided a few years ago that while these are my money making years, I should work to get everything paid off as quickly as I can.\u00a0 So I scheduled myself a couple of years in advance and now I&#8217;m living out the result of all that scheduling.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, I&#8217;d rather be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.horizonsmagazine.com\/Mission_Statement\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">on a mission<\/a> and too busy, than to be idle and without purpose.\u00a0 I generally feel that there&#8217;s always a party going on somewhere and all I need to do is step into the stream of it when I have the time.\u00a0 Much of my free time the past few years, though, has been between midnight and dawn.\u00a0 I&#8217;m working to come out of that cycle, and create more free time and play with friends.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for how that goes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\"
