Blog problems resolved finally!

For about 2 weeks my blog has been down.  It all started when I tried to update to 2.5.5.  The problem, I finally figured out, is the host my blog was hosted on - sucked.  Do not use Netfirms.com for your hosting.  Their control panel and technology is old and not supported very well AT ALL.  In fact, their hosting sucks so bad I will not register any more domain names with them!  I spent a lot of time trying to get this blog updated and working correctly.

I moved my blog over to Mediacatch Web Hosting.  They rock and have since I got them in 2002.  They update all the time and offer awesome support.

Surf Video - Jack Johnson - “September Sessions”

I spent last Friday night down on Mission Canyon Rd. in Santa Barbra, CA watching surf flicks outside on a giant canvas screen.  My friend’s friends had a party at their place.  What fun!  They set up a giant screen with projector and great sound system outside in their neat yard.  We sat on furniture-sized boulders and oohed and ahhed at Kelly Slater and friends surfing like we all wish we could, while eating fish tacos we cooked out on the grill.  Really beautiful, lovely evening.  Thanks for inviting me and Dante, Taymar!  Long live the love of surfing!

Return to the Mainland, a.k.a the “madland”

I did it.  I left Home (South Kona, Big Island of Hawaii - http://southkonayouth.wordpress.com ) and returned to Babylon.  I need a job, to be blunt.  Bills need to get paid.  I have obligations and repsonsibilities of a financial nature.  Therefore, I need to get serious, quit partying for a few months and focus on my career. 

This transition has nearly wiped me out in some ways.  I have only done yoga about 4 times in the past 6 weeks.  My body is aching.  I’ve had very little quiet time for meditation/contemplation or reflection.  I moved over here specifically to live with my “sister” / girlfriend - we are both single mamas with boys - so that we could join forces and help each other to acheive our dreams by supporting one another. 

Big Bust!  I’m skipping the details so as not to recreate a gnarly scene…but long story short, she went mental on me.  I can now say I’ve had first hand experience with paranoid schizophrenia.  I recogzined it this time and instead of blaming myself, I saw it for what it was and said “C-ya and I wouldn’t wanna be ya.”  I feel sorry for my sis - she is apparently possessed of an evil little demon spirit.  She’s not happy and it’s everyone else’s fault (well right now it is specifically my fault). If Jesus were still alive I would bring her to him to be healed.

On the bright side, I got an awesome job working at a network hardware company as the SEM Coordinator in Santa Barbra, California.  I love my job!  Now I just need to find a sweet little home for the boy and me.  I’m looking for a sweet little Guest Cottage nestled in a supportive, green, shady and sunny garden upon a gorgeous estate property.  Affordable with kind landlords and neighbors.  A place I can call home long term.   

Next time I’ll share my strategy and plan for finding housing in Santa Barbara, California.

Be Authentic

In other words, be real.  To whom?  First and foremost, to yourself.  The Oracle at Delphi gave this advice “Know Thyself”.

I go for radical honesty with myself for one main reason - I want to be happy.  I don’t feel like I’ll ever be happy deceiving myself.  I can’t seem to make a living doing that either.  Thus, Lemurian Girl Returns blog is me stepping into a new way of living.  For those of you out there yearning for the same, I hope my shared experiences can serve as inspiration on your own path.
