Awareness

I am aware that I am NOT most people. I do not think or act like the majority, nor do I want to. No television for 20+ yrs means I have lotsa time to work on myself, my education & my web biz. As a poor southern girl who has worked her ass off to get to where she is, I am very proud of my business & my life of accomplishments. I choose live my dreamy little life on my own conditions, under my own reality & creating a magnificent portal for all Californians to utilize for their valuable 'days off'.

Most of my many friends really appreciate me & what I stand for. Adventures, local travels, new connections, small towns, hidden destinations, mother nature, & online promotion, are all part of my daily life. I always welcome newness, change & freedom into my world. My friends & associates are vast, my knowledge growing & my skills improving.

Recently, however, I have discovered a few angry souls who despise me for what I am. They love to hate. They are negative misplaced fools who blame others for their miserable lives. These energy-suckers will ruin your day, if you but let them. They will pull you down to their level at whatever opportunity they can find. These are the folks who will pretend to be your friend, then talk vicious lies behind your back, due to their uncontrollable envy & greed. Yes, there are unhappy people nearby, affecting my new mountain paradise, that hate me with all the passion & purpose they can muster up.

My ultimate dream to work from home in a rural cabin community & grow my 10 yr old business to a total success, has turned into a living hell, all based on jealous paranoia of weird neighbors. The small town gossip drama has risen - with an ex-lover who cannot stop looking at me, can't stand seeing me & cannot stop talking about me. Adults acting like high school kids, brewing in their own negativity, their own problems, in a bitter downward spiral that only they created.

The weekly soap-opera has escalated now & I will make my voice heard for all who wish to listen. As the years unfold in Los Padres - lives will change, careers will be altered, & old opinions re-evaluated. This silly story should be entertaining at the very least.

Awareness, on all levels, means I now look far beyond the mundane petty bull shit of today, deep into the future. Aquarians are known to see farther than any other of the zodiac signs. The unforeseen, the unexplained, the unknowable, the uncertain future are all exciting new realms, not to be feared, but to embrace by each & every one of us. Enemies come in all shapes & sizes. Mean people do exist, even in the most beautiful alpine villages.

Who knows, maybe I can write a book on day, as I've never been one to back down from challenges or good story telling.
