I got the new iPhone (finally)... I was waiting until I found out if it is okay with the company to have one... but it is and so I got one. I'm not a big app addict but I have found that it is very useful... for example, I upload lots of pics now to Facebook using AirMe... and recently I've discovered Shazam which is amazing.. and now Loopt. Loopt lets you tell people where you and what you are doing and upload a picture.. it uses your GPS to show a virtual earth map of exactly where you are...

Tomorrow night, this is where I will be:

I talked to the owner today, we are meeting tomorrow afternoon to sign the lease and acquire the keys. I think it looks lovely. It's a furnished studio so all I need to bring is my clothes. It's 2.5 miles from the current Mysore classes in Capitol Hill which makes it further from work but I'd rather drive to work and back to a more central location than stay somewhere just because my job is there. The owner sounds really nice.. it is really important to me to lease from someone that seems to be a good person. I've spent the last year surrounded by people that I don't deem to be inherently good in the soul. I feel better when I see God in people and when I see God missing, it concerns me greatly. The owner found my blog - this blog and my old work blog. I didn't think anything of it when he mentioned it on the phone but later I thought "Wow, he knows way more about me than I probably expected he would..." which got me to thinking I bet my employer does to.

The great thing about a blog though is that this is me... it's all here... the good, the bad, the ugly, the insecure, the faith, the heart, the soul, the fear... it's all here. I don't have any desire to hide behind some facade or to pretend to be who I'm not... so it just doesn't phase me. I am who I am who I am.

I'm getting excited about having this space, about starting the new job on Monday... everything is new and sort of has that new car smell to it. It will be wierd to go to an office everyday... to wear business casual attire... It will be wierd to feel part of a larger team who can teach me, lead me... allow me to begin growing and learning again --- it seems like a long time since I've had the opportunity to do that.

It will be wierd to get on a mat again. I have a new found understanding that my body, my post-surgery body, just isn't the same. It never will be. It's a process of mourning I believe that I've only just started to understand.

Jaya Hanuman!
