C-Gull



The past couple of months I have been educating myself on the Universe. I find it utterly fascinating in all regards. I feel the connection, the vibrations and energy (as I have previously written about), and the power of  believing that I alone can and am responsible for changing my life. I love where I am now and I know I will love 10x more as I travel on this new path - my yellow brick road (also previously blogged about).

This brings me to the topic of my blog.  In addition to the Universe, I have discovered my Spirit Animal.  It was no surprise (actually it freaked me out a tiny bit) that my Spirit Animal is a seagull. Those who know me well, know why this freaked me out. Those who don't, well....here goes.

One year and five months ago, I planted myself up here on the Northern Coast of Massachusetts.  I had become smitten with the water, the smells, the laid-back lifestyle. It suited me and oddly enough, it felt like home over the course of the past few years upon visiting. I knew not a soul. I had no job. I chose to live in a community with approximately 1200 other people and seemingly that many dogs (grrr....). I immediately felt my soul settle. It was an exhilarating feeling. My friends knew and understood my thinking and had my back.

Immediately, I noticed the abundance of seabirds, most pointedly, the seagull. I believe somewhere on social media I posted back then that "they just aren't soaring around in great quantity here looking for their next dumpster meal, but they in fact LIVE here!"

They belonged here.
I felt I belonged here, too.

I see and hear them all day long...while driving, hovering over parking lots, at my school, when I am feeling down, when I am at peace.  They are a daily reminder of freedom and lightheartedness.

Their spirit, so I have read, represent productivity and creativeness when resources are limited.   
This is me.
Seagulls define their own space...make it their own and settle in.
This is me.
Seagulls respect others, but others must earn their respect.
Me.
Seagulls looks directly into the eyes of others and challenge to resolve issues. 
Also me.
Those with a seagull spirit are constantly challenging their own comfort zone and always seek people out for their knowledge.
The epitome of me. 

The scary part in all this is the fact that in my short period of time closer to the mighty ocean and until I learned my Spirit Animal was indeed the seagull, I had already formed an obsession with them.  I noticed them, I bought and acquired artwork that held their image.  I found a large feather one day along the sidewalk as I passed into my school building and now have it safely tucked away. I've been told I told I am capable of seagull-like screeches.

I am a C-Gull; I just know it.

The Mighty Moat

Image
moat / mōt / noun noun: moat ; plural noun: moats 1. a deep, wide ditch surrounding a castle, ort, or town, typically filled with water and intended as a defense against attack. I protect what I have with intense, unmatched ferocity. What I see in my life as needing personal protection against attack are my family, my hard-earned skill sets, and my heart .  A vision that comes to mind when I reflect on the level of how I protect what is important to me is one of warding off a bear attack.  Me: 5'2" Bear: 8'5"  Would I put myself directly in harms way if my family were at risk? Absolutely! I would, however, take all measures to not find myself in a situation such as that (that is where the moat comes in). Actually, you will probably never find me camping in the middle of the Adirondacks cooking steaks on a grill deep in bear country. But I would take whatever steps are necessary to protect what is critically important to me if a b

Dunkin' Donuts in Starbucks Cup

Image
Sometimes appearances don't always ring true. What you see, may not truly be what you get. What if there wasn't Starbucks coffee inside of this Starbucks cup? What if it were Dunkin Donuts coffee? What?! This doesn't necessarily mean that something is "fake", but merely a misconception of what the truth really is. Sometimes, image is everything. Coffee is coffee, right? Lol! We've all heard the old adage, "Don't judge a book by it's cover." It's time to look deeper, folks. Evidence can be found in brand "knock-offs". At a distance, sure, it may look like a Louis Vuitton bag, but up close (sometimes NOT so up close) one can see slight variations from the original product. Knock-offs run the gambit from handbags, scarfs, watches, sneakers, and especially gemstones and jewelry. Is it that necklace really gold? Is that a real  diamond? Again, from a distance it may appear so, but under a trained eye (and often even the untrained e

In The Trenches

Image
I have to admit, there are times for me over the past few months when I have been completely unfocused. Lately, this has become the norm. I have placed myself in the "entrepreneurial trench", and trust me, there's a lot going on down here! Even though with an image of a trench, one  conjures up thoughts of solitude and isolation, I did not realize how much the outside world would effect my little world down in this proverbial trench...until it did.  I am not only am I working on myself and accepting the changes to myself as they appear, but overall, I am working for change and growth in others apart from me outside my trench. I am working so hard in my little space down here, so that ultimately my "work" touches, shifts, and positively impacts those who need it in my present circle and beyond. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, being in the trenches means a place or situation where people do difficult work. Ya...that would be it; that would also be the Vic
