What a $25,000 bracelet looks like. Don't worry, Steven is going to give me a good deal on it.[/caption]As you may recall, I went on a Spiritual Shopping Walkaboutrecently. I ritually consecrated my items, tranced and did my thing - made new spirit friends, tried new mind altering substances, the usual for 2012. 2012 has been a slippery year for me. It's been a lot of dizzying merry go round ups and downs and if I try to look at them too closely I feel like throwing up. When I try to imagine what I'll be doing in five years, it's a cloudy "outcome unclear, try again later" sort of vision.
And it should be if I'm doing this right. My old life is dead and frankly so is everyone else's. I was supposed to stay in my safe, stable little job with my safe, stable little company and when my boss was ready to retire or semi-retire, I would take over her position for her. Except the industry crashed along with most industries.
The world is not the same as it was even three years ago. It's highly unlikely it will ever be the same. But it's also pretty unlikely we'll be living Neo-Pagan Amish lives too.
