This issue was a very rushed publication . I had finally quit the job that I had in the pharmacy and decided to locum instead . Because the business and degree that I’ve been working on for years , were not coming close to a close . The pharmacy just swallowed my life like a hungry magnetar . Now I’m free . Yay . To locum , that is .
And also to work on that business and degree in mathematics that I mentioned earlier .
But first , business . Initially I wanted to launch a women’s lifestyle blog . I had all the contacts and knowledge I needed to start a comprehensive online guide for women’s health and wellness . It was gonna be factual , actual and ridden with affiliate links from pharmaceutical suppliers . But alas , in the end , I realised that was going to be way more work than what I have time and resources to accomplish . So , there I was wallowing away in the Swamps of Sadness , trying to get back on a dead horse , a burnt boat , when luck found me !
Or so I have to believe , at least .
And it told me this : You need to change EVERYTHING .
Well , there was nothing else left to do , so I did just that . Said goodbye to the prospect of large amounts of affiliate income from pharmaceutical companies , said goodbye to all the people I’d reached out to as sources for all the articles I had lined up for the blog and settled , instead , for something simpler and more intimate .
Concept in mind , it then occurred to me that I had absolutely no idea what I was going to write . Because I’ve moved countless times in the 28 years of my life , I have managed to throw away every journal and hardcover time-capsule that I had . Every anthology of verse and prose , gone – because I tumble like planets into their stars . I rush head-first into shiny prospects and burn . Each time . So I wrote a bunch of nonsense just to have something on here for the month of May while I work on something better for the months to come !
I can’t imagine you’ll like it , but at least you’ll know where I’m coming from .
For a more eloquent attempt at explaining the issue :
Cereus is a monthly online publication where I share my own poems , prose and art .This month’s theme is “In the Heart of the Sun”,where we will explore coming heart to heart with our most unbearable moments and our most brazenly enflamed versions of self . What happens at the point where purification and incineration converge ? All in the face of a global awakening of significant sorts. May will be the month of the Uranus and Mercury Cazimis. Two interrelated catalytic astrological events. This month we come to face our final perceptive purge.
All of which simply explains what happens when you try to balance life in a teacup , running around on hot , hot coals !
If anything, reading my stuff will make you realise that if people like me are writing ;you should be writing too ! In fact , you should be using it as a powerful tool to change your future and rewrite your past – you can find out more about that in my Gentle Healing Program which is available to members free of charge and for sale on my shop .
See you in the Circle ,
