It's been a long time since i wrote here, so busy or so something.
Anyway, had a job looking after young indigenous people taken from their families n living in residential care. Overnight, supposed to sleep, shittest job I've ever had. I worked on a potatoe harvester in the Dandenongs, freezing!
THEN I came over to Respect, a Sex Worker support and education organisation, I love it, 20 hours a week, the nicest people to work for, kind, understanding, pro-active. BUT there's low money, I couldn't live off it. Still studying though, Diploma in Shiatsu, so far I've done Massage Therapy 1, Remedial Massage 1, Shiatsu 1, Acupressure 1, Communication 1, Anatomy and Physiology1, still haven't even begun my studies this year, I think the transition might be a bit of a fark up.
BUT, I believe that my long dreamed of Retreats are about to come into fruition.
SO this just became a to do list, I've moved it to a to do list.
I'm busy planning and preparing so that I can run a retreat this year, and some Reiki training. I seriously doubt that this government will be funding a program for sex workers, even one that's focus is HIV and Hep C, right in their target groups. Oh well, this kick starts me to my Indigo Moon phase of life. Cool, thanks shitty government. Queensland, never known for their benevolence, will just love having Tony Abbot to back them.
I'm going to look for grants in the private sector to get me kick started, and to get some good healing to the peeps who need it and can't afford it.
Think I'll aim the first ones at Domestic and family violence, then maybe Youth ? Very maybe, then Alcohol and Other Drugs. I'm thinking, I'll make the group match the funding opportunities.
I've finally got myself a drum, looking online and was attracted by a carved star on a drum, it actually looked like a star fish, in the picture, so I looked a bit more, there it was, a mahogany drum with a dragon carved out, you know, so the dragon is out not in, it's awesome. I just went to look at it and found two very scary reviews saying that they didn't receive their drum, but many who were very happy. But the websites all munted, I'll look into it, I really like the dragon djembe, and mahogany seems to have a nice deep tone.
I'd like to have some months getting back into the swing and learning new ways to offer some great experiences, ready for the big beginning.
I think that Cape Tribulation and out that way is perfect for healing, I'm heading out that way to find the perfect place, over the next few months people out that way will be getting to know me. YAY, Dream come true.
