Gratitude

You know, the Universe/God/Goddess, has a way of showing up just at the perfect moment. As you know I’ve been on the job hunt for several months (18+). Well, yesterday the Universe rewarded my patience and persistence with a new position (alliteration anybody). I will be working for The Chemainus Theatre Festival. I am going in as the Development Coordinator and Volunteer Coordinator. I am so grateful. It has come, as I was promised, and kept repeating, at the perfect moment; not too soon, nor too late. This position is the one that I eluded to in my post Victoria Day.

I am grateful for this kind of position as compared to some of the others I’d applied for because I think it will major on my talents and abilities. It is work that I’ve done before in other not-for-profits and charities. It also offers me a world of creativity which my soul needs to keep going.

When I chose to go it alone four years ago, I knew that my creativity, whether it was writing or otherwise, was totally stifled – other than my gardening. It then became my regular routine to journal every day. Now, I’m actually going to be trying my hand at sketching. As for my workplace, well who knows. The world is wide open in such a creative and artistic environment.

As for my Celebrant work, it continues. I will continue to offer my services for ceremonies and celebration across the life-cycle. My marriage license is in process. In order to get that moving I actually had to be re-ordained. This time instead of Captain (The Salvation Army) it is Reverend. But don’t bother calling me that because I never liked the titles in the church and still don’t see the real necessity of them. I am just one of the guys. My job is different to others in the group, but not better. So let’s forget about all the pomp and ceremony. I am working on my website and will have that up within the next month I figure. I, in fact, was introduced to a fellow today who is looking for someone to marry him and his good lady. So once again, not a moment too soon, nor too late; just perfect!

As for the future I can see myself moving into retirement and continuing to really enjoy Celebrant work as a vocation. But that’s almost 20 years away. I also hope that it will happen in Hawaii. But who knows really. It is a dream. But as with all my dreams now, they are subject to my Sacred Contracts with others in my life and the Universe in general. I may be able to look through the peep hole in the door. But there’s so much more beyond that small scope.

So here we go….



Oh yeah, if you’re interested in going to a show at the theatre. The current show is The Mouse Trap.
