A New Step

Today I went to my first metaphysical class. It was great to meet some people in the area who are working on and/or learning about their abilities. The class is an eight week long class but we are going to break it up into two classes a month starting in January. Today was just an over view of what the eight classes will be teaching. Through out the classes Charlotte and Yvonne (the ladies who are teaching the classes) will provide suggested reading and research materials and a list of people in the area who have positive reputations. I am very excited to learn more about my abilities.

Louisville is an interesting area when it come to the metaphysical realm. There are a large number of people involved in the metaphysical realm but the community seems to be underground. It is almost a secret society that everyone knows exists but no one talks about. Most people say this is because 'we are in the bible belt'. I haven't quite figured out what the deal is. I know that Louisville is not as progressive as it likes to think it is even though it has a Metaphysical School. I would say that it is more progressive than the cities around it but no where near what it needs to be. I guess there is always room for growth.

There is a definite need for a metaphysical store. I know that there have been at least two in the past that have closed. I know there has to be a need with the amount of people in the area who are involved in this realm. The closest store is in Cincinnati. I am going to check the store out in two weeks. I missed the psychic fair this weekend in Cincinnati, which is supposed to be huge, because I forgot about it. However forgetting about it allowed me to attend today's class. So, I will be doing some investigating in to why the metaphysical stores have not survived.

Wish me luck!

Life in the fast lane

It is amazing how time flies whether you are having fun or not. In the last couple weeks, I have become extremely busy at work and am now working full time. (I was working 3/4 time.) HURRAY! I am starting to get a groove here in Louisville. (It is so hard to let go of the past comforts.) My navigation skills are building daily. I now know where the main roads intersect and can take different routes to get to where I want to going. I bought a new car last week. I had been sort of but not really looking. I found an '08 Hyundai Sonata I liked and created (with Josh's help) a deal I liked. It was sad to give up my Tiberon but I needed a car that Sahara could be comfortable in.

Josh and I spent this week contemplating being respite providers. The first place we checked out paid $40 for level 5 kids. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the level of behaviors for children, level 5 is hospitalization level. For me, $40 doesn't cut it. I have no idea what other companies pay but I feel respite is a big commitment. It is a nice second job which is why we originally considered respite and we could check out other providers but I think this is something we should think about at a later date. So, I will be searching for a second job in the next couple of weeks.
