August 30 New Moon

It is my first day in Chicago and within an hour of being here my wallet was stolen. I'm not sure why that needed to happen but I am doing a fairly good job, if I do say so myself, of rolling with the punches. Financial strains are becoming more apparent but the joy is still present. I'm still living my dreams, making genuine connections, and spending time with my family. These are the things I have and these are the things I wanted, so for that I give thanks. I feel like I need to take this as a sign to SLOW DOWN. I move too fast sometimes. This lesson has been repeated and it finally has come to a head-hence my wallet being gone. Trying to balance a way of being head-strong,determined, and patient simultaneously. Creating my destiny didn't come from patience. It came from making it happen but apparently I need to turn that energy down and turn the patient energy up. Even in writing this I understand that I can't rush that balance either, it will come. All I can do is keep living and keep learning. The foods I've been eating probably haven't been helping either so I'll find a way to eat more alive foods. Grateful for that thought. Looking forward to the day unfolding.
