Where the River Flows

Wow. I just had a very crappy night of sleep. I don't know what the deal is. Is it my bed? Is it because I still think too much? Granted, I skipped meditation last night because I've been trying to fall asleep earlier... I don't like waking up close to 9. But still. I was tossing, turning... would get hot, throw off blanket, neck started to cramp, and then I got startled awake by my dad at 6 AM because he dropped the milk carton. Now I have a small sleep deprivation headache... and I'm feeling just a teensy grumpy. But it's okay. I have nothing to do today but chill. I'll work on my mini aura readings at my own pace. I'll work on my novel. I'll cook that delicious orzo dish. Watch some HIMYM. Talk with lovelies. Channel. 

I've noticed a return in dragon imagery. Almost as much as big cats. Two nights ago in my medi session, Pierre swooped in to spend time with me. My intention was to see Andromeda again, but nope. So I sat with Pierre and he surrounded me with fire.. giving me energy for my passions. Some nights, when I'm in bed trying to freaking fall asleep, I get visuals of him lying beside me, either in human guise or in his draconic one... it's kind of nice. I do feel like his presence is very appropriate seeing how this point in my life is all about following passions. That might also explain the appearance of Leon, since I've been working hard at my skills and studies.

The main point of this post, however, was to note a most interesting occurrence... recently - as in the past few days - I've noticed related opportunities almost falling into my lap. First, I get an email from that channeling group I've been keeping an eye on, saying that the organizer is planning for workshops starting the 23rd of this month. Then, an old mentor of mine announces in a FB group that she's holding an 8-session mediumship course. After that, I notice someone on tumblr talking about starting a "psychic network" of sorts. And through that, I discover the University of Metaphysical Sciences, which allows you to earn a Bachelor's, Masters, Ph.D or DD in metaphysics. This is especially good for those who want to write books, teach, do healing or counseling, etc. 

Certification is something that I've recently been thinking about. If I plan to turn intuitive/psychic art into a real career, I'd like to have credentials behind me. It'd definitely be beneficial to me business-wise. I have a lot of research to do on that. I do, however, like the sound of the University of Metaphysical Sciences. I have to nose around on their site more, but get this: they say most students finish their studies in one year. Coincidence much? 

I think the cost of that program is around $2300-$2500, supplies included. That's not a whole lot for something that I'm actually interested in. Beats paying $10,000 a a quarter for something I have no interest in... I'm curious to see what my dad says about this, though. If I express interest in this school, will he think it's ridiculous? Will he let me do it?

But see... something really amazing happened a couple days ago. My parents watched that documentary called Happy, and it seems to be awakening something in my dad. I overheard him talking about life being short and asking my mom about doing something "big"... and then that evening she tells me he wants to go overseas and just think about what he wants out of life. He's even talking about getting a boat. I'm hoping this will help him to see more from my perspective. And if that's the case... well, I certainly wasn't expecting things to be this easy. Knock on wood.

I'm very curious to see where this river is flowing... it seems I'm passing through quite a bit of fertile land right now.
