Well yesterday was a milestone - I turned 30. I remember signing up for my yoga teacher training course thinking, what the hell am I doing - I don't want to be in 'school' on my 30th birthday? I just figured it was going to be a same normal day, doing yoga (in paradise I might add) sweating, and hurting. Well it was so much more and then some. There are 24 yogis here and 3 teachers and I was completely surprised with some of the small things they did to make sure I enjoyed my day. I got a sign in front of my 'spot' saying hbd and then when we closed our morning practice, the closing mantra was happy birthdays. For tea time break, I got a cake and blew out some candles, and not to mention the flower display on my bed saying happy birthday 30! So sweet. All of these people were literally strangers 5 days ago and now they helped to make sure that my day was a success and it was. I know that I'll be able to really celebrate my birthday and of course the holidays when I come home in 19 days.....yes 19 days!
So what's going to happen in 19 days? I do know I'm ending on a high note in Bali (104)! Not sure I do know I'll be flying business class back to the states ! I'm such a travel nerd and am already looking forward to a 8 and 13 hour flight back to the states. When I get home, I'll be going to Chicago for the weekend of December 11th with my sister and cousin Sara. Were staying at a park Hyatt right on Michigan avenue which should be fun during Christmas. Can I mention that I can't wait to see a Christmas tree this year since last year I think I was in some random Muslim country during Christmas!!
So I've began a job search in the Detroit area of Michigan....so yes to my readers, right now my heart is telling me to move back to Michigan. I literally have so many options of where to live and I know the world is my oyster but nothing is forever and I can always move again if I totally hate it. I'm really not looking forward to moving AGAIN in December or January this time from Wisconsin to Michigan but....it'll be what it will be. I could go to India for January and study more yoga....what's worse, India or Michigan in the winter? Will see how easy it is to find a job. I've already had interactions with recruiters and company's call me, so fingers crossed I can start making some money and get back to that 8-5!
Well final greetings and regards from ubud Bali. I love it here, really. This is some place I would always return to. It is bloody hot though! I had a few drinkies last night for my bday as a few of us 'yogis gone wild' went out. I'm now recooperating by the pool and realizing that I'm already sun burnt....the Bali sun has no filter! You would think I would remember this from when I was here 9 months ago.
