When Life's really Great and at the same time a Mess
It's great. I'm in an amazing place, and I am counting my blessings every day.
I'm in the middle of getting the first bits started to launch my first new project, and then the other. It's all looking great!
But...there's a but. Of course, there has to be something to mess up all that perfection. This post will not be one of complaints. I just need to vent.
So I'm sorry if this is you on the reading end, and having to go through all the BLEH and whiney-little-me pouring my heart out.
This should be a time to concentrate on my project fully. And yes, my plans will go ahead, and as planned, I will write more about it later. I wanted to wait till it's perfect but now I feel I need to write about the imperfect things too.
But first about the messy stuff I have to deal with and no idea (yet) how...
Problems in Ireland
My friend Judith's daughter and her boyfriend moved into my house when we left.
They wanted to give moving out, and living together a go, and it would give me more time.
More time to sort out the last stuff that has been left behind, and more time to sort things for our one dog and one cat that we've left behind.
We've always planned to have the dog sent to us later but the cat was supposed to come with the others. Then it turned out to be an issue to import more than 3 animals, so I decided to leave the cat, with the dog, and fly the both of them later...
However, the costs of sending the other animals had more than doubled, and all of it last moment, so their departure had been postponed.
I always thought it would be OK, eventually.
I thought I'd have more time...
Meanwhile, another woman had moved in there with them, and she was happy to take the house, and mind the dog and cat for as long as needed.
Now she sprung the news on us yesterday that she'll be moving back home...
The rent there needs to be paid by July, something I won't have, and now I need to find a new home for the dog and cat, in no time...
Crap!
Then last March, as most of you know, I decided to quit my job and go all in on crypto, Hive & Listnerds.
We all know what happened to the crypto markets...
There was no way back. Not that I wanted to because that job was killing me. Working 3 am to 11.30 am is OK for a little while, but after months of that, it felt like I was losing my mind. It wasn't healthy.
Then the little job I had doing social media marketing got cut in half. Half the hours meant half the income.
I know, it sounds like a downwards spiral, and trust me, at times, that's exactly what it feels like. A new house too! This should be a great time. Not this.
I need to stay positive and trust that everything will be OK.
I've written to some people telling them I'm available for work.
Writing, translating, well, at this point pretty much anything.
Except for pole dancing haha. If you want your customers to run out of the place, hire me for that!
Then, to top it all off, my eldest daughter and her boyfriend (@camthecreator) sprung the news on me that they're thinking of going back to Ireland...
This 'thinking of' has become more of a sure thing now.
Yeah, I know, she's all grown up and, of course, I'd love to keep her with me forever but I know she has to live her own life.
The door will always be open, I think she knows that.
It doesn't make it easier though.
While things all seemed to come together only weeks ago, now it all seems to fall apart. And with this, I put my life, and trust (literally) in the hands of the universe, and trust that it will all work out.
I need a miracle, and a miracle will be what I'll get!
Counting my blessings every day...

Fingers crossed things work out how you want them. Life throws up challenges for us at the most unexpected times.
Best wishes from this side of the world, time will sort everything out, you just need to use now a big chunk of that patience you have stored.
Voted on ListNerds!
Oh wow - when I read about the animal and the renter - I thought - what a nuisance. Then my eyes popped opened when I read about your daughter. It is a lot to handle all at once especially being that everything was going so smoothly before. I am sending you positive vibes for miraculous solutions.
I hope it will all work out for you. Crypto had a really bad timing to collapse.
Everything will be fine! It just takes time to adjust to the situation. Do what you have to do for now.

@misslasvegas! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @stdd. (1/10)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.
It seems like a lot at once, but like with us (we know how that feels!) it seems to be the same with you that for some reason challenges need to be HUGE, but the rewards will be big too. You always seem to figure it out, and I'm sure you will do it this time as well.
If you need to vent, my inbox is open <3

Sometimes life is like that, everything coming on top of each other and all needing money. You're doing what you can looking for alternative income and little by little you'll work out the other things.
Hope you feel better after the vent, always a good thing to do, and then once you've cleared your mind, you can start sorting things out.

I mean ...

Oh, all I can do aside from sending you all the positive waves and a fortifying digi-hug is to just say I know a solution to all this sudden tribulation will present itself, and I so, so admire you for jumping into action. That said, I am glad you vented, it's good to get the AHHHH out lol!
Hang in there, I am looking forward to an awesome resolution to all this post soon😊

Thank you @generikat, getting a little teary-eyed here.
Yes, I am trusting that it will all work out. It has to.
And worrying about it isn't going to help us in any way, so
I'm trying to keep my mind occupied so I won't have time to worry.
Thanks for the digi-hug, it was needed. 😍

Lovely to see you yesterday and I'm also am dealing with some 'stuff' with my house in Spain at the moment. Never. easy when you are so far away.
Much easier I have noticed to ignore, but I know from past experience you have to deal with these things.
Anyway, Lots of manifesting and positive thoughts your way.
It was great to see you yesterday too. I always get a positive energy bolt when meeting you guys. :) And you're right, anything is possible. I've seen miracles unfold many times.
Thank you for the pep talk :)
I am so sorry to hear that the kids want to move back to Ireland. It is not like it is a quick trip to make.
My daughter has recently moved 10 hours away and it really sucks. You raise your kids the best you can, then you have to let them go.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that too @beststart. I hope your daughter comes to visit often.
And yes, it's all we can do really, let them go and trust that they'll be OK.
Thank you for the kind words.
I know that feeling all too well. My business has been suffering terribly due to my supplier not being able to provide.
I was supposed to get stock in March already! It's been 10 month's of having to deal with drips and drabs. As the last bit of stock sold out, my competitors contacted me to offer me a position. I'm literally starting on Monday, going back to the usual 8 - 5, but I'm happy with that. At least the financial burden will be lifted, and we can all breathe easier again.
I still don't know why things turned out the way they did, but I'll be with a well-established company, and earning a good living.
Keep the faith, things will turn out the way they're supposed to.

Wow, that's great news. At least your competitor knows he'll get someone who knows the ropes, and you'll have a steady income. It's hard being self-employed at times. It can be very rewarding but also a pain in the butt haha. Thank you for the kind words. This is one of the reasons I love this community so much. There's always people to cheer you up!
Indeed. There's only a handful of 'power players' in our industry, so we'll both benefit from the arrangement.
I'm glad you managed to get cheered up a bit. At the end of the day, we have to get up, show up, and live to fight another day.

Cluster F. I was reading Cams post and he linked this one.... I know that every thing happens for a reason and things have a way of working the, out and the universe is giving you a run for your money but still.....
This stuff can keep you awake at night.... Suerte! !CTP
Dear it all looks like a puzzle and as you say, it all will work out. Of course a rollercoaster of emotions will come with it but that’s what life bring us.
I’m sure you will be able to see the big picture and figure things out. I’m sending you all our love and energy, trust on the process and if you need something, you know where we are.
All my strength and tenderness to you warrior woman.
