And "Move" I have...whew

It has been quite a year so far. I have not come anywhere near writing here once a week. It has been a busy one so far. In February I moved forward by writing the last exam to get the professional designation I was going to school for. I accomplished something, finished it....have the letters RCM after my name.
About Mid-march I moved from the job and position I was in and got another job that specifically deals with my new certification in another city.
July left me single and staying with my parents.
September has meant the end of my debt. Took me a couple years but diligence has paid off. I may finally be starting to learn to live within my means. I have certainly learned what I want in my life and how I do want to spend the money I make. I am now starting to gear my budget and expenses to the lifestyle I want to live.
Now that fall is here and winter is not far off, it is time to find a permanent home for me....rent or own? Where? So many questions but at least I have realized I don't want to be house poor so maybe that will be a deciding factor in the next choice I make.
Fitness wise I have been riding my bike a couple times a week and walking as well. The fit is coming slowly.
I have also had a renewed interest in reading.I have read multiple books in the last couple of months. They include things by Lee Child, Nora Roberts, Monica Murphy and many others. I have stepped out of from the authors I have always known and expanded my reading repertoire. I joined a book club and have been reading a lot of books I would never have picked up.
Next on the list....learning Spanish. This is going to be the first step to my retirement plans. It will also make travel and vacation a much different experience.

My Cup O Tea

Over the years I have become a fan of tea.  My favourites are non-caffeine.  Green Teas, herbal teas and rooibus.  Almost any loose leaf tea will do.  I once got chamomile tea from a friends parents and it was really just a whole baggie of chamomile flowers.....it was from a place in Sarnia, Ontario but I am not sure exactly where.  It just seems so much fresher when you can recognize it by sight.... In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....

Energy Healing: The Essentials of Self Care This one resonated with me. I could hardly put it down and that is unusual for me with a book in this genre. It all started for me on page 10 with a great composite view of different energy anatomies that had been explained in the preceding pages. For me, it really brought together the Chinese medicine, Thai massage, chakras and aura system in relation to each other. The healing stories through opening our connections to the energy fields of the universe were motivating and interesting to read. The first exercise I tried was the first one in the book "toe tapping". It's a pretty simple exercise so following the instructions was easy. I only kept it up for about a week but I believe I did start to feel benefits. I like to meditate and I am always looking for new ideas. This book provided. I still want to try the metta meditation and many of the other meditations that are throughout the book. I still have a numb...
