HeyMonicaB: A Blooming Resource on Ayurveda

Ok. I cannot help but see the effects of what’s going on in our economy (I’m sorry if this seems a bit angry, but Ayurveda says, “do not resist your urges”). I work in creative staffing and damn if I don’t see several people a day that who are absolutely talented and skilled in everyway and are yet…not working.

I can complain that it’s hard for me and frustrating for me not to have jobs to place them in – it’s THEM I’m concerned about. Two people come to mind. Rego and Leanne. Bless your hearts. I had tears tonight abut you both. I am thinking of you and busting A$$ to get you in the door. Like I said, I am angry today.

My sweet boyfriend mentioned something today though about balance…and how our generation has never really endured a situation/depression like this. In my irritated (yet calm) state I said, “What’s your point?” He explained about the depression and then WWII and then boomers with Vietnam, and then 70s gas crisis…anyway, us generation Xers (and Yers) have never had something so detrimental to our lives than this. And holy crap, I see it and feel it EVERY day.

But then as I started anayzing…it’s really about balance, isn’t it? Everything is, right? So, in many cases we were paid extra-great amounts of money for our jobs. Somewhere there has to be a life lesson…because it seemed way to easy for a while, maybe? Now, I’m all about right intention and manifesting your highest dreams without obstacle…BUT!!! I also know that without falling to a certain level, our eyes do not open. I know without something to smack us in the head to wake us up, we will remain on the level of the shallow and somewhat spiritless.

Anyone who has gone through a personal crisis, has seeked the counseling of a professional, or has collapsed completely knows what I mean. You can only appreciate that what is now, when you have fallen to a certain level. I know first hand. I have fallen far…not in the job area, but personally…and it put me RIGHT on my path!!! THANKS for the fall…I needed it. Yeah. So does that need to happen to all of us so that we band together for support and cheerleading, rather than competing?

So, I am writing with hope and promise that this country will figure out the “lesson” for now. Maybe we will end up more compassionate, more willing to help, less ego-driven, less greed, and more passion to make this a better place – for ALL of us. Let’s hope. And let’s our sights on it. WE create what’s ahead. Let’s do a great job.

I got a new Pet Shop Boys song for ya. It’s about getting out of a rut and it’s a bit tongue and cheek about needing more. I sent this to my friend (I love you my sweet friend!!) for his birthday. Download and have faith, find what’s REAL. Bypass all the crap and dig deep. Now is our time (and I hope I don’t get sued for posting Pet Shop Boys link). Keep the faith. XOXOX!
