Everyday this week I’ll be pulling a (virtual) card from the Universe Has Your Back deck and reflecting on it.

Instead of praying for an outcome, I pray for the highest good for all.

Mondays are my days for writing, and I’ve written a lot. I don’t expect to hear back from any of the jobs I applied for today, or any of the pitches I sent off, or any of the competitions I entered but I hope for the best. I ordered We Are The Weirdos today, I felt such an affinity to Maranda Elizabeth‘s writing that I wrote them a letter-zine.

My partner returned to work today, it was my first day alone for weeks. I went out to buy stamps and bread. I came home with a tub of ice cream too. I felt like I wanted to celebrate.

My energy creates my reality. What I focus on is what I will manifest.

What a great first affirmation card of the year! I’m back to work overmorrow and I’m nervous, I had planned to finish my projects during the last week of December. I didn’t. I needed rest and it made me feel a million times better. And, also, the news. I didn’t finish my projects but we’re in the middle of a pandemic, so do I expect people to criticise me? No. But do I criticise me? Yes. I’d love to have entered this new year with an empty schedule and my checklist all ticked off. I didn’t. And I’ll deal with it.

Slowly.

The universe has my back

This week is my induction. I’m trying to pack away all the anxiety I feel. For some reason, timings just don’t work out for me. At the same time I’m having my induction, a member of my extended family is having an operation. Next week I’ll need to actually be in Brighton but my lesson was scheduled for after 17:00 so I arranged an online meeting for earlier in the day. Since then it turns out that the lesson is earlier in the afternoon so I’ll travel in the morning and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to access the computer spaces on campus (I hope I will, but I’m trying to find out). Finally I have another online lesson in November that clashes with an event I arranged (one of the presenters who I have been chasing to attend for ten months has finally commited to the one time slot I was trying to avoid booking). But, you know, I’ll figure it out.

After that time, I’m hoping for a few low pressure moments.

Obstacles are detours in the right direction

For those of your who haven’t seen my previous post, I wrote about The Student Saviour giveaway. If you’re a higher education student and like discount websites, you may find this one interest. If not, I’ll get back to my reflections.

From noon on Monday I’ll be on annual leave. I had a pretty rubbish experience on Friday, which I wrote about for the Perito Prize. I think the small bits of non-fiction I wrote last week got me thinking about accessibility. So when I had an unpleasant encounter on Friday I felt ready to write. I’ve applied for a couple of freelance tutoring roles. And I’ll be spending my week off cycling and painting… And doing a bit of data entry I’ve got left from last week.

Happiness is my birthright

This week I submitted four very small pieces of non-fiction to Mslexia, after a colleague told me he liked my writing. I only submitted three hundred words or so… but it’s a start. And it did improve my mood.

I’m taking some more leave next week so I can get ready for returning to university.
