I leapt and landed on a phoenix!

I took a leap and it paid off. I cut ties. I rid myself of all connections to my life in London and lived in the moment embracing what the universe has given me. 

On Wednesday I posted a blog relating to my interview. I was feeling disillusioned and The Fear had crept in. My mind was no longer here. I was worrying about the future and what would happen come January. Later that evening I began frantically brainstorming my options and talking through my anxieties. My brain finally gave up and I drifted off to a world where everything was fine. The next morning I woke to an email from my fellow Cestrian, Richard, telling me to “keep faith and not to rely on admin”.

I then opened an email entitled ‘Offer of Employment’ from a name I hadn't recognised. With sleepy in my eyes I opened the attachment to the Cayman emblem and the 1^st line... I leapt up running in to the front room and threw my arms around the 1^st flatmate in my path. Kathleen jumped out of her skin "What’s wrong? What’s happened?’ I can’t remember what happened next, other than skipping to meditation and grinning like a Cheshire cat. Guru asked me how I was... ‘Ummmm, I'm a little distracted today’- UNDERSTATEMENT!

What's next...I have to send off scanned certificates, passport, birth certificate etc Then. Breath. Trust and Let Go. 

Today was Anna’s birthday. After a ½ day of practice, theory and adjustments, 9 of us went to Karanji Lake Park. We then took Anna to Mysore Mall where we surprised her with a Bluepeter style card signed by all the students and teachers, a cake decorated with Anna in Padmasana and a very tacky but typically Indian candle that opened out to a singing lotus flower. The house mates and I are now sat on the balcony with some Indian wine (contraband), candles and we're jiving to the BeeGees while we wait for our Papa Joe's Pizza – Masala style of course.

I'm very happy right now. I feel free. I feel proud that I was brave enough to make this journey and I'm excited for my new journey in paradise.

Mysore is truly magical; In India anything is possible.
