Back to business

The cleanse and stupid test are finally DONE, FINITO, TERMINADO. I suppose "finally" is not the most appropriate word, as they both approached ridiculously fast and finished before I could even wrap my head around their existence. Now its time to get back to a routine and tackle all the tasks and projects that have been waiting patiently in my head since last September. This probably goes without repeating, but as you all know the last six or so months have been..... well, I hope to never repeat them: being in limbo over the bar exam the first time around fostered a pretty deep lack of motivation, then not passing fueled a confidence-shattering, cynical, depression-like shadow that enveloped me and was extremely difficult to shake. Further, the test itself made me want to huddle in a corner, collapse into the fetal position and cry myself into oblivion. Now its back to being in limbo. In contrast with last go around, I will do my best to not let the billowing thought of whether I passed harass and suffocate me. I'm ready to be productive. I will find some job, any job, and make myself a useful societal cog. In the meantime, I have quite a few projects to undertake, and hopefully, busyness begets busyness. 

Its interesting, though: the cleanse and exam consumed every morsel of my time/energy/thoughts/being that I literally have to relearn my old habits/routine... or create new ones. But the experimentation should be fun - almost like reinventing myself.... setting myself up for a better lifestyle. I welcome you with open arms, Year of the Rabbit!

    Here's to reinvention! I remember last year you told us the significance of the sign -- any notes on the year of the Rabbit? Oh, and congrats with being done with 2 big milestones! I can't wait for you to share recipes.

    The year of the Rabbit is supposed to be a much gentler year than the year of the powerful Tiger we just had. Also, it will be followed by the Dragon, which should be a transformational and positive year.

    We should take time during this gentle year to heal, transform, and be kind and pure with each other.

    The rabbit represents a value for taste and refinement. We will desire comfort. We may tend to indulge, and should be careful. It is a time where money can be made easily, but can also be spent easily.

    Next year, the year of the Dragon, will be powerful, shamanic, wild and exhausting. So its important to take the time to appreciate the small pleasures this year, where we have a rare opportunity to heal, relax, entertain and mend. Its a year where we can reach out, build or rebuild bridges. Its also a time for family, comfortable travel, and diplomacy.

    This is also a year of the metal rabbit. In feng shui, the metal aesthetic is clean. So it would be good time to clean our homes, remove any clutter, and live minimally.
