I posted a letter this evening to the local deaf centre. I have enrolled for BSL1 which starts in September. I am really excited about this because it's been one of my goals for a long time - it's number 6 on the 101 Goals list, and I am sure it will be a good move career wise.
As I put it in the box, I thought about all the other letters I've posted in there and from my email box that have changed aspects of my life. The very simple task of pressing 'send' or putting that envelope into that red box has enormous power. At this point, you will either be thinking I am insane and wonder why must I ponder everything so deeply, or you will be with me.
Into my village post box, I have sent letters to my solicitor regarding my dog, my divorce etc, letters to court, letters to television production companies and many more that have had big impact on my life. My email is the same. I have sent overseas job applications, told my local MP exactly how I feel about hunting, told Nick Clegg exactly how I feel about his part in it, signed up for 3 mile races, got in touch with people after many years of silence, and most recently, volunteered myself.
Last week I registered with a volunteering service. In a moment of interference in a friend's life, I suggested he curb his drinking and moaning he is bored all the time by volunteering. Instead, he went to the pub and continues to moan that he is bored and I have signed up. Thus far, I've had my welcome letter and the woman I'm meant to liase with keeps ringing me at funny times and we have missed each other 5 times. Anyway, it'll work out and I'm excited about another new chapter in my life.
I did another spot of interfering tonight with a different friend who I have some ideas for. I think it's time for a new chapter in her life too. I am very keen for her to become as successful as she's trying to become and without being a giant pain in the arse, I'm interfering. I hope my posts to her this evening will change her life for the better.
My sister is doing some life changing posting this week too. Yesterday she contemplated a new country of choice to live in, this morning she applied for a job by email, by the early afternoon, they called her. She has been using my 101 goals idea but the Universe is working quicker for her than me!
At the weekend my best friend and I tried to describe each other in 3 words. She said mine were;
Loyal
Outspoken
Goal Orientated
My posting online and in the red box this week have been all about those things.
